    Kylie - Netflix 3 Part Documentary

    Episode Notes This week our heroes just Can't Get Kylie Out of Their Heads. So much so, in fact, they are left Spinning Around. That's enough Kylie song title word play. Netflix's 3 part Kylie documentary is this weeks subject. Lorraine, a lifelong fan, and Will, old enough to remember a pre-Kylie world. Also, the episode comes with some recommendations at the end, Especially For You. Right, ENOUGH!

    60 Minutes Australia - Grooming A Monster

    Episode Notes Not many laughs in this weeks episode as our heroes taking on the tricky subject of Michael Jackson. 60 Minutes Australia recently aired an episode on Michael Jackson and the many allegations, both old and new, on the late singer. Lorraine and Will discuss his undeniable talent, the hard to ignore rumours, the undeniable court settlements and the hard to understand nature of celebrity and parasocial relationships with fans. They also hang around at the end to offer some recommendations that are less disturbing to watch. Why not review your boy and girl on the podcast provider of your choice? It can only help them out!

    DTF St. Louis

    Episode Notes Another episode? So soon? Our heroes are really spoiling you. You might say that they are DTF (Downloading To your Feed)! This week, our champions delve into the murky world of suburban swinging and app-based adultery with HBO's newest offering DTF St. Louis. Old PF favourite David Harbour gets a shot at redemption alongside Jason Bateman and Linda Cardellini as they get caught up in a Bizarre Love Triange, as New Order would say. There's a reference for all you kids out there. Ordinary people doing sad, lonely things. Or is the show right? "No one's normal. It just looks that way from across the street'. Then again, they also say 'Cornhole is the only sport where you can hold a beer in one hand and your dignity in the other, and lose both simultaneously.' Give Pop Filter a rating on your platform of choice if you're trying to figure out a gift for either of them.

    Project Hail Mary and Small Prophets

    Episode Notes Pop Filter has detected an alien life-form on board their craft. It's little, rock-like alien Nicky Coghlan. Listen as Lorraine and Will try to understand him so they can get on with the weekly business of saving the planet. Nicky joins our heros from RTE where he is the head of children's podcasting. Nicky also co-hosted the podcast, Nilpod, with Will many years ago where they discussed the most juvenile things ever for over 200 episodes. Many of which are unavailable today. If you were curious, though.... https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/nilpod/id1473819045 https://open.spotify.com/show/5fKIEWMcAwH0qxiaOCn896?fbclid=IwY2xjawRTFIBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETEwVmREUzdnOVJndFpmb2V6c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHtkkQlfwxBNz01mbURsoZqn4s-bDWXMXzEUvCxUVWajIHASzKl_667pxdHim_aem_3IUrvlk4_Byun2g8SbVAzg This week, our gang are light years from home trying to save the dying sun with R-Goz and a spider-rock. Project Hail Mary is a huge hit without their blessing but it would put a nice bow on the top of their run, but will that happen? Next up, Small Prophets. Lorraine reveals how likely she would be to join a cult. Answer: very but it IS robe-dependant. Would you grow a humunculus in a jar in your shed and if so, what secret would you want it to reveal to you? The answers are undoubtedly elsewhere, but join our heroes to hear their ramblings one more time.

    Inside The Manosphere and Inside America's Next Top Model

    Episode Notes Episode Notes Our heroes return in a relatively timely fashion to discuss Toxic Masculinity and Toxic Femininity. Will is a clear representation of all that is wrong with modern men and the less said about Lorraine and her own particular brand of toxic femininity, the better! Of course we're just joking and they are fine representatives of their respective genders! First up is Louis Theroux's brand new Netflix documentary, Inside The Manosphere, where Louis subjects himself to spending time with poisonous, self-proclaimed 'Alphas' as they grift around looking to earn money. Whether it's from beating up someone on a live stream, to propositioning unsuspecting women in public, or giving unreliable crypto advice, they just don't care. It's all 'one-way monogamy' and 'I do what I want!' until the wife/girlfriend is in earshot. Then our hosts move back in time to 2003 and the launch of the 'reality' show America's Next Top Model. This documentary, poorly titled as Inside America's Next Top Model is a 3 part series talking of the rapid rise and subsequent fall of the show. We learn how far TV has progressed from the Wild West days of poor after-care for people involved in reality TV when they are spat out the other end back into society. Our heroes are hopeful, though. The grifting crypto bros will never win! This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Heated Rivalry

    Episode Notes It's been a while but our heroes have returned. This time it's Lorraine representing the Canada side and Will skating in from Russia with his big round bum, just in time for Valentine's Day! That's right, our hosts are tackling gay hockey romantasy juggernaut, Heated Rivalry. It's all artfully placed legs to hide modesty and much more willy talk than usual, which is all the more impressive considering one the hosts is called Willy and, indeed, has one! After that, they take on Robbie William's and his 13th studio album, Britpop. Part-time catfood salesman, Robbie, is back at his day job of being a pop star and he's not too bad at it. It's all very samey and all a bit soulless but it should be more than enough for Robbie to whip a gigantic crowd into a frenzy. Let your favourite hosts know if there's anything you'd like to hear their unique takes on. Enjoy. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Sean Combs The Reckoning & 2025 Round Up

    Episode Notes Hello Old Acquaintances. Lorraine and Will want you to know you should never be forgot. Our heroes are on deck on January the first, starting as they mean to go on with a shiny new episode. This week, they dive into the murkiest of waters (or is it a pool full of baby oil) with Netflix's 3 or 4 part series, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. It's Fiddy vs Diddy with Fiddy getting the last laugh on his old foe. This documentary charts the meteoric rise and the spectacular fall of music mogul, Sean Combs. Lorraine and Will are definitely West Coast all the way. Next up, a quick round up of the years best TV/Podcast work according to our team and it becomes very obvious that neither Will or Lorraine are getting out of the house much these days. Give them a rating (a good one) on your podcast service of choice as it really helps them towards their goal of early retirement/maybe a free screening one day. Happy New Year one and all. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
