Challengers & Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal
Episode Notes
This week Pop Filter HQ is now Pop FILTHER as our heroes look at the erotic tennis world of mixed thruples with new sports drama, Challengers. Love-All? It's more like Lust-All!
After that it's the latest in a relatively short string of documentaries on the hacking of marriage stress-test site, Ashley Madison, where it seems like 35 million men were telling 4 women that their wives didn't understand them.

Fallout & The Fall Guy
Episode Notes
It's Fall Preview time at Pop Filter HQ as our heroes deliver not one, but two, items for review that have the word 'Fall' in their titles. That's where the concept ends. Don't go looking for hidden meanings. This idea is a mile wide and a millimetre deep.
Can Lorraine successfully make Amazon Prime's 'Fallout' one of her famous "Dinner Shows" or will it be too gruesome for Lorraine to enjoy her curry super-noodles and fish fingers?
Can Will get past his nostalgia for Lee Majors and his love for Heather Thomas in the original TV show to give 2024's version a fair shake?
This week's episode has all the answers.

The Greatest Love Story Never Told and Cold Sea by Oisín Leech
Episode Notes
This week our heroes test themselves by reviewing a thing that they don't like as much as they'd like to. Not much of a challenge, to be fair, but what if they told you they were reviewing Jennifer Lopez's new documentary, The Greatest Love Story NEVER Told? How would you feel about that?
Well, Lorraine and Will want you to know that if they've made even one person feel that podcasting is possible, it will all have been worth it!
Next up our guys bring you fresh new Irish music in the form of Oisín Leech's debut album, Cold Sea.
To learn more about this weeks featured artists, check out Amazon Prime for J. Lo's documentary and Spotify/Apple Music etc and oisinleechmusic.com for info on their boy, Oisín Leech, and his upcoming shows.

Back to Black and Late Night With The Devil
Episode Notes
This week our heroes go over to the dark side. First off, they wrestle alongside Amy Winehouse with her demons in the new biopic, Back to Black.
Then it's on to much more traditional demons in the form of late-night talk show horror film, Late Night With The Devil, where the main guest is actually....well the title kind of spoils it a bit.
Don't forget, you can contact your new favourite radio hosts via their ultra-modern, nay futuristic, email address popfilter1000@gmail.com
Be their first correspondent and they'll definitely read out your (hopefully non-creepy) comments.
Suggestions for future reviews all welcome.
Enjoy!

Baby Reindeer and Beyonce's Cowboy Carter
Episode Notes
Our heroes return for a triumphant second episode on Near FM (90.3FM/nearfm.ie) secure in the knowledge that last weeks episode was a huge hit or nobody with the power to cancel the show was listening. Either way, episode two is 'GO!'
This week, the team tackle Netflix psychodrama, Baby Reindeer, which proves to be an uncomfortable topic given the fact that Will sends dozens of texts and emails to Lorraine every day. It's mostly just him moaning about stuff, but still...
After that it is onto an unlikely choice from our daring duo with Beyonce's 8th studio album, Cowboy Carter.
If you want to hear two grown adults whining about having to sit through 27 songs over 80 minutes, you have come to the right place.
