    OTT #202 - What's up with Sony and Spider-Man?

    This week, Alex & Dan kick off the next few Marvel-related episodes with a recap on what Sony has done with their Spider-verse - and why they are churning out lacklustre films within the 5 year 9 month window... From a $9Bn franchise piggy-backing off the MCU, to films which struggle to break even at the box office, Sony have well and truly made their money back from the Marvel sale in the 90s - but are they still making enough money from the Wall Crawler and what does it mean for the future of Spider-Man at Sony? Sit back, relax and enjoy a trip down memory lane as well as gazing into the future of what might be next for our favourite superhero in spandex! #GITS🌊 #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #Spider-Man #Brandnewday #Marvel #Film #Sony #Phase6 #Marvel #discussion NEW!

    OTT #201 - Origin of the Idioms Vol.1

    In this week's episode, Alex & Dan discuss idioms and their origins. You probably use some of these common phrases every day, and you don't even realise it! If you've got skeletons in your cupboard, well, you quite literally did for educational purposes. But you might just get caught red handed... When was the last time you broke the ice? Probably not sailing in the 1800's, but perhaps at a party or with a new colleague? Feeling mildly ill? You've probably told your friend or family you're under the weather, a term used by sailors who became seasick. Close but no cigar, you've come close but you failed. How was this related to carnival games? Let us know the last time you flew off the handle, Dan explains his last experience during the hottest day in June. Couldn't handle the heat. Biting the bullet, doing something unpleasant or difficult, but find out why people were actually biting bullets. It's an episode of Alex explaining idioms with other idioms, it's pure insanity!

    OTT #200 - Bizarre Laws That Could Get You Arrested

    This week Alex & Dan bring you another public service announcement, this time in the form of educating the masses on the topic of law! As we know, law-abiding citizens themselves, they warn you of the dangers of getting your Moose drunk, making funny faces at dogs - to not practicing your archery and thinking twice before you next pay for your drive-through using your phone! A lot of this is impractical - but let's just say we might save you some trouble next time you buy some Salmon from the supermarket... all is revealed in this week's episode! #GITS🌊 #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #Southsea #history #strange #laws #UK #US NEW!

Ditching the green screen for practical effects, some of the most inconic scenes and responses from actors are genuine due to their on-set surprise! Practicing a bottle flip doesn't seem to be worthy of a mutli-million dollar blockbuster budget - and someone rents their costume from Warner Brothers for $1 a year!

    OTT #197 - Things banned from the School playground

    This week and hot off the heels of a past episode, Alex & Dan make a break for the Nostalgia beach, as they discuss some of the things which were banned from their school playgrounds... and some of yours, too! From spinning plastic toys destined for a window or someone's eyes - to more plastic cards and collectibles which ended up being taken by the school bully. If that wasn't enough, the joys of pure sugar in fluorescent straws being knocked back in the classroom and discarded in the halls - to triange flapjacks? There were some odd contraband back in the day! Sit back, relax and enjoy another trip down 90s and 2000s memory lane! #GITS🌊 #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #Southsea #90s #nostalgia #2000s #schoollife #sweets #uk #highstreet #shopping #adolescenceNEW!

    OTT #196 - Urban Legends and English Folklore - Vol.2

    This week, Alex & Dan go back to the books to find you more creepy and odd stories from Urban Myths and English Folklore in this fantastic follow up to 2020's Volume 1! In that episode, they discussed the issues with Big Cats, Men in Black, Chupacabra's, eery sounds of banging drums in times of war - and lots more! In this episode, it's turned up a notch; from odd robotic-like colourful beings who appear to Children on an island off the coast of the UK, Hags who haunt the woodland in the Midlands - to a game played in an elevator where you musn't look at the person who gets on for fear of spending eternity in the liminal world, to Glaswegian Vampires and hoardes of murderous children on the hunt.... this episode has it all! Grab you deck chair, come sit on the Pop Culture beach as we discuss some strange and odd stories from the UK - and further afield! #GITS🌊 #Onthetopic #TWRAD  #Southcoastsounds #urbanmyths #cryptids #rabbithole #leftfield #OTT #spotify #podcasts #myths #stories #UK Do you want to be part of the show?
