Bloobcast Bloobcast

With Russell T Davies imminent return to the Tardis in sight, the Bloobcast take a look back at the first series of the successful revival of the BBC Sci Fi Series Doctor Who.

They discuss the state of the franchise in the years between 1989 and 2005, how Buffy the Vampire Slayer influenced the revival, how the show managed to be both scary and silly at the same time, Russell T Davies pre empting the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some of the behind the scenes controversies, and Euan shares his controversial opinions on 'Classic Who'...

The Bloobcast conclude their look at the Lord of the Rings trilogy and reminisce about the final film in the trilogy - The Return of the King.

They discuss how the story successfully concludes the story, the bittersweet ending, the infamous cutting of Christopher Lee from the theatrical cut, the PS2 game, the utterly bizarre 1980's animated TV movie version, and Euan discovers that Elijah Wood will indeed wear wigs.

They discuss how the game began life as an unnumbered spin off, the titular antagonist Nemesis, what the game added to the Resident Evil formula, the 2020 remake, and touch upon one of the dumbest movies ever made.

The Bloobcast tackle a beloved movie from their childhoods as they look at Brad Bird's 1999 classic The Iron Giant.

They discuss the movie's 1950's setting and Cold War setting, the themes of anti violence, differences from the original book, how the film set itself apart from Disney, and how poor marketing tanked the film's box office.

The Bloobcast take a trip to Hillys to discuss the 2003 cult video game Beyond Good and Evil.

They discuss the game's various gameplay styles, the music, themes of overthrowing the government, and the sequel's seemingly endless development hell

The Bloobcast welcome their new co host Joe to kick off 2023 with a look at Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's darkest puppet series - Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

They discuss the sinister nature and violence of the show, the more realistic puppets, Colonel White's disdain for the title character, comparisons to the War on Terror, the bizarre Japanese theme tune, and the time when a major world event caused a repeat run of the show to be replaced with The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
