Welcome to Mondo Street Cinema Club — the spiritual successor to Mondo Street Social Club, where chaos met conversation. Phil and Dan are back, thanking you for your questionable loyalty and dragging you through the cinematic multiverse one reel at a time. From What If?, where we rewrite the rules of storytelling, to Rewind Roulette, where nostalgia plays dirty, and Trailer Trash, where we dissect new trailers like they owe us money — no film is safe, no opinion is sacred, and no one’s getting out unchanged. It’s film talk with a twist… and possibly a head injury. Instagram @mondostreetcc

  1. Episode 8 Send Away the Tigers - Don't Call this a Comeback

    Episode 8 Send Away the Tigers - Don't Call this a Comeback

    In this episode, we dive headfirst into the 2007's Send Away the Tigers  the album where the Manic Street Preachers collectively said, “You know what? Let’s be loud again.” After the introspective hush of Lifeblood, the band strapped themselves back into the feather-boa-and-bullhorn energy of their earlier selves. It’s a record of renewal, rage, optimism, and the occasional political sucker punch, all delivered with choruses big enough to rattle the Severn Bridge. We explore the lyrical resurgence fuelled by Nicky Wire rediscovering his love of myth-making melodrama, the band’s decision to return to their “big guitars, big ideas” ethos, and the curious case of why critics suddenly remembered the Manics were brilliant. Spoiler: the album debuted at #2 in the UK, went gold, and critics called it their “best since Everything Must Go” As always, we lace the conversation with personal stories, obscure trivia, and just enough humour to make Nicky Wire roll his eyes (affectionately). #ManicStreetPreachers #SendAwayTheTigers #Manics #YouLoveUsPod #NickyWire #JamesDeanBradfield #SeanMoore #YourLoveAloneIsNotEnough #NinaPersson #Underdogs #RicheyEdwards #WelshRock #Britrock #MusicPodcast #AlbumAnalysis

    Episode 7 Life Blood: Elegance,Distance & Desire

    🎧 New Episode — “Life Blood” ft. Darren Leach This week on You Love Us, we dive into the Manic Street Preachers’ 7th studio album, Life Blood - an often misunderstood yet beautifully ambitious record that marked a bold evolution for the band. Joined by Darren Leach, we unpack Life Blood’s shimmering synths, its cool detachment, and the emotional undercurrents that make it one of the most fascinating entries in the Manics’ catalogue. From themes of reinvention and self-reflection to the sonic contrasts that divided fans, this episode digs deep into why Life Blood remains a vital chapter in the Manics’ story. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@youloveuspodcast⁠ 🔖 #YouLoveUsPodcast #ManicStreetPreachers #LifeBlood #DarrenLeach #MSP #MusicPodcast #AltRock #YouLoveUs

    Episode 6 Know Your Enemy - Cuba and Chaos

    🎙 You Love Us – Know Your Enemy (with Darren Leach) This week we dive headfirst into one of the most divisive, ambitious, and misunderstood albums in the Manic Street Preachers’ catalogue: Know Your Enemy (2001). Joining me is Manics super fan Darren Leach, who brings passion, humour, and encyclopaedic knowledge to the debate. We explore how the band set out to smash their own mythology and how the record split critics, fans, and even the Manics themselves. From its jagged punk blasts to its tender ballads, we dig into every contradiction, triumph, and glorious mess that makes Know Your Enemy such a fascinating chapter in Manics history. Expect track-by-track insights, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and plenty of fan-fuelled debate on whether the album is a forgotten masterpiece or a bold misstep. 👉 Follow us on Instagram for updates, extras, and Manics musings: ⁠@youloveuspodcast⁠ 📲 Join the conversation using hashtags: #ManicStreetPreachers #KnowYourEnemy #YouLoveUsPodcast #Manics

    Episode 4: This is my Truth and the Politics of Identity

    The Manic Street Preachers have conquered the charts with Everything Must Go, but Richey’s absence is now absolute, and Nicky Wire is holding the pen alone for the first time. We look at the release of This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours — a record that swapped punk grit for widescreen melancholy, topped the charts, and made the Manics stadium kings. From Welsh volunteers in the Spanish Civil War to barefoot bass takes in a creaky French château… from political fury in S.Y.M.M. to the unexpected tenderness of Born a Girl — we explore the stories, the recording sessions, the quotes, the critical reception, and the moment this band entered their imperial phase. 📱 Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@youloveuspodcast⁠ #YouLoveUsPodcast #ManicStreetPreachers #ThisIsMyTruthTellMeYours #IfYouTolerateThis #NickyWire #JamesDeanBradfield #SeanMoore #WelshMusic #Britpop #Manics

    The Life of Chuck

    This week, we take on The Life of Chuck a surreal, emotional journey through memory, identity, and the quiet beauty of ordinary life. Is it a masterpiece in three acts or a story that stumbles under its own weight? We break down the film’s ambition, heart, and whether King fans will embrace this very different kind of tale. 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @mondostreetcc 💬 Join the convo: #TheLifeOfChuck #StephenKing #PodcastReview #MondoStreet #FilmTalk #ChuckLives #MovieBreakdown #IndieFilmVibes
