Smorgaspod

Hey everyone! Remember when movie trailers were epic without trying? Remember when life was more fun? Remember when cartoons weren't flooded by badly cast celebrities for box office pull and not everything had to be a franchise, and spoofs knew how to parody with some intelligence? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Movies movies movies! Even as tired, middle-aged parent types, Arron and Andy manage to squeeze in a visit to the cinema! But is the M.I. franchise just on Cruise control? Is the latest Indy movie more of an indie movie? Are there Kenough reasons to see Barbie? Check out our Opinion-heimers!

Welcome to the SmorgasPod Moviedrome, where we go see movies so you don't have to! But, SHOULD you? Well, Andy has (unsurprisingly) seen Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and Arron has been to see The Flash, so we spoil the ever living fudge out of them for each other, and you at home! ROLL FILM!!

Long time pal and 3rd Wogey Keith joins us this week, as we get too hot and tired, wonder about what genre of movie might replace Superheroes next, and one of us is writing a book! All this, and Kennedy Fried Chicken!

Right. You've all had ample chance to see Guardians 3 now. Can we talk about it without getting too emotional? Or rather, can we talk about it without getting hopelessly sidetracked, or gatecrashed by a toddler? ... Guess not! It's SmorgasPod time!

It's-a billion dollar blockbuster! Wa-HOO! Join us this week to discuss how a pair of plumbers from Brooklyn have made more glad coins than they ever Nintended! And wonder if an entire NCU is in the -ahem- PIPELINE. Welcome to MarioPod!

Get your underoos on over your pantaloons folks! Because the big blue boy scout is back! Except.. he's unofficial. So let's have a chat about a certain fan film, versus the awkward turtle that is a couple of official releases of late, as well as wondering if D&D The Movie has rolled a Nat 20, or fumbled with a 1! (Nerd speak for "is it a bit crap?") All on the latest SmorgasPod!

We are cominatcha live and direct, from the BotCave! Well, live at the time of recording. Is anything really ever live? When you see it it's already happened, in another place and time. But isn't time all happening all at once, we just experience it in a linear fashion? Anyway, here's a podcast!

Maniac Overthrown: Defeat Of Kang? Marvel Oversaturation, Disney On Kourse! Micronauts Out, Downside Of Kopyright.. Morons, Only Discussing Obtuse Kontent! ... It's time for Quantumaniacs!

Arron is tired, Andy is wired, so we're in for a tangential pod this week! Hopefully we get to discuss the Tetris Movie, the Flash trailer, the Tetris Movie, the (spoiler free) feedback from Quantumania, the Tetris Movie, the problem with the apocalypse, the Tetris Movie, the future of Transform & Tell, and the Tetris Movie! But only if we can FOCUS. Did we mention they've made a Tetris Movie?

No, we're not getting monetised (we wish!) But we do have a bit of a look at the latest commercial from director Edgar Wright! We also discuss (spoiler free) The Last Of Us TV series, and Andy waxes lyrical on a fantasy game series crossover that languishes in his head! Stay fresh, cheesebags!

The boys are back in town! The same town, in fact, as the Two Stooges bring you the first pod of 2023 from a shared zip code! We talk monochrome comedy (monochromedy?) from our youth, look back at why pre-MCU Marvel being separated was no bad thing, and also look forward to 2023 & beyond seeing what a mess Kang will make of the multiverse!

Ch-ch-ch-changes! Things are afoot, and the future of the SmorgasPod hangs in the balance! Only Kevin Bacon can save us! Well, not really, but we are taking an Xmas break for exciting reasons contained within this very episode! Also: Die Hard decorations, losing a Power Ranger, and Arron buys movie tickets and takes the p*ss!

Bo Selecta, SmorgasPod fans! This week we're joining the Bring It On Cinematic Universe, and looking back fondly (and less fondly) at the comedy DNA of sitcoms and their attitudes in years past. Plus Arron has a tech moan from his curséd abode, and we get the cutest hijack ever!

This week we take a close look at modernised Spandex, wonder about the tones of the DCEU, MCU, and MCNFXU or whatever Netflix was, and get casually racist (or DO we?!) whilst touching cloth reacting to Mario's overalls, movie trailer, and Chris Pratt impression!

Get your brown pants ready, because the MCU is about to get some Adamantium! Weapon Exes, Wilson and Logan, are going to face off, and all we can do is champ at the bit, for a bit! In the meantime, we pray for justice for a green Attorney at Law, and get hyped for a very late blue sequel in space! We see you.

We are Tik'd off with Toknichal difficulties this week, as we ponder an alternative to the daily grind (Arron's setting up his Onlyfans as we speak!), Andy puts the "war" in "wardrobe" with a flat packed crapheap challenge, and Arron is in Low Spirits thinking it's time to quit haunting Hell House! Buckle up, buttercup, cos it's about to get middle-aged on your heinies!

This week we escape to the cinema for Jaws and ET (the French for "and?") this week, as well as escape to Middle Earth with the Rings of Power - and if you have troubles with your One Ring, wait til you see your disappointed Peeyore! Yes, we said it. Thanks for noticing us.

This week.. or month.. OK, this EPISODE, we try to stop apologising for our erratic schedule long enough to talk about how TIRED we are.. Literally, but also figuratively, since Marvel can't stop with the levity and DC can't stop with the grimdark, and the MTVU can't seem to settle on an episode length! We're Mighty Thor about it, and a bit Green about Disney's "muscle censors" too!

The SDCC has rolled around again (no, not THAT one, people of Detroit!), and Marvel have laid enough slate to put the roofing association to shame! So grab a glass of Tangentirine juice, as we look forward to the most imminent projects, featuring a big green lawyer, and a new Black Panther - plus sidebars from DC's Shazam Fam, and Arron's own movie stardom!
