The Niche Guys Henry & Alex
-
- Ocio
In a world where there’s too much to choose from on Netflix and the singles chart is filled with songs from Tik Tok, The Niche Guys are here to help. Allow Henry and Alex, two guys with a passion for lesser known media, to share some recommendations with you. Each episode we will both bring you a TV show/movie, a video game, an anime/manga, an artist/album and something miscellaneous, that you may have missed but should definitely check out. So join us as we explore all kinds of weird and wonderful content, try to only make one Simpsons reference per episode and let’s see how far the black hole of anime can go.

That's Stupid, We Love It
The Niche Guys reach their season finale in style! With Puppets, musical numbers, beers, horror, zombies, Judy Dench spreading her legs… this one got away from us.
In this episode Henry steals money from the elderly by giving them contactless cards and then summons the Eldritch God that is Ainsley Harriet.
Alex has some hot takes on God of War Ragnarok not being stupid enough and asks if we want to play a zombie game, over and over.
And the boys finally allow you to check off that centre space on your Niche Guy Bingo cards and push you all to channel your KENERGY.

Never Say We Don't Improvise
The Niche Guys are back with another immersive experience into lesser known media, so strap on your 3D glasses, pull down your safety bars and please don’t stare directly at those Cronenberg nightmares.
In this episode Henry tells us the truth about global warming and channels his inner Calculon. Alex can’t pronounce some Japanese names and disappoints by not providing a Niche Guys staple. And the boys talk about Crab Logic and how they should probably stick to music not politics.

You Cannot Kill ROCKBANDONE
The Niche Guys are back to give you the best advice on some lesser known media like you’re a confused Salaryman trying find the best hostess bar and we are stood outside presenting top quality tissues.
In this episode Henry finally grows past being an Uber-babyman and demands that 'cameraman Steve' do some squats. Alex discovers that his wrong type of brain is the reason he sucks at Bloodborne and bemoans the worst of the bizarre modern Pokémon evolutions. And the boys argue over Henry’s newly founded Rock Band and update the podcast’s sound equipment; one bullet at a time.

The Niche Guys return with another selection of lesser known media for you to meet at the end of the aisle, marry and hope they don’t turn out to be a vapid talentless pick-me spouse.

You Can (Not) Say Slay
I hope you like flapjack-eating ASMR.

In this episode Henry points to stands like Babe Ruth once again promising the next big thing in manga, and then goes to war with a British institution.
Alex bemoans being a GameCube only JRPG fan in the early 2000s and reveals that he is in several toxic codependent franchise relationships.

The 2nd Annual Niche Guys End of Year Awards Show - The Pot-Bro Cometh
** Hey guys, Henry here - really sorry for the delay on this one, various life-things got in the way and to give full transparency, I've been in a slight creative slump in the latter end of January. BUT! I've powered through to bring you our 2022 round-up awards! I hope you all enjoy it. We'll be back in two weeks with our next regular-style-episode. Thank you so much for listening and for your patience. We love you. :) **
Welcome once again to the second annual Niche Guys year end awards show! Once again the boys run down their 2022 top 3 things for Games, TV, Movies, Music and Anime, making sure to get the humidity up in the venue and get you all nice and sweaty.
In this episode Henry becomes a real bean-boy and helps out his stuck step-potbro. Alex regrets being too drunk to remember a 2 hour movie and not being drunk enough to forget a 4 hour long movie. And the boys talk about the Job Food Chain and keep in all the extra beer-can snaps and chair creaks, for all the dirt and mess you would expect from a real awards show.
