Failed Critics Quizcast: Return of the Matt

Hey listeners, the episode title is a nice little 90's earworm for you as we party like it's 1999. It's our birthday! We're going to party like it's our birthday - because, as I mentioned, it is actually our birthday. Today, in fact! The Failed Critics Podcast has hit yet another milestone and reached our fourth birthday. Hip hip... Usually, it'd be up to the guests (i.e. you) to get the birthday-boys (i.e. us) presents, but it's cool. We know it's been a tough year for you and, you know, who really cares about presents at our age, right? I mean, we're not mad. Sure, a little disappointed but that's society's fault. No, really, don't feel bad. Forget I even mentioned it. Here, we've got you something instead. The first ever (and given the amount of time and effort, the only ever) issue of the Failed Critics Magazine - in a handy to download and read pdf format: https://thefailedcritic.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/failedcriticsmagissue0011.pdf There's articles on Brooker's favourite films of the year so far; Steve has finally put finger to keyboard on his oft heralded Die Hard concept; and Owen has written a fairly lengthy history on how Failed Critics came to be. It's only 10 pages long and hopefully will find somebody out there interested in reading it. We also celebrate on the podcast with a brand new Quizcast! Steve Norman retains his comfortable seat as quizmaster, meaning Carole Petts joins team Failed Critics alongside Owen Hughes. Both Tony Black and Matt Latham return to represent reigning champions Black Hole Media. In a shock twist, Matt Lambourne has switched sides; once a representative of Failed Critics, he now joins his partner in crime, Matt Aguilera, of the Futhead Podcast. We'll return to our regular podcast next week, but until then, happy birthday everyone! Thanks for either downloading the podcast or visiting the website over the past four years. We love you all ok bye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
