This week we take a chaotic deep-dive into the world of TV and film - both nostalgic and absolutely unhinged.

🎥 Shane recalls the VHS from childhood he finally tracked down (Mumfie, anyone?), Shane remembers a BBC school show she never saw the end of, and we spiral from Star Wars edits to... steampunk time-travel mysteries.

Also in the episode:

🦑 Was Jabba the Hutt originally a man?

👻 The movie that made Shane throw popcorn

📼 How an old tape from a birthday party never included the end of the show!?

🛑 Louise goes full Karen (then gets gifted a tin of biscuits)

🎬 Your controversial film takes: the Pounders weigh in on Hunger Games, Point Break, and “whatever El Topo is…”

📺 Plus: childhood telly, forgotten endings, and series that deserved better.

Got a weird film you loved and no one else did? Or a school TV show that’s been lost to time? Tell us on Patreon (even the free tier) and we’ll shout it out on the pod.

Podsnappery Podsnappery Welcome to the world of Podsnappery! Admission is free and our accountant is avoiding our calls. Possibly because we haven’t officially hired him in any capacity. It’s this sort of questionable life decision that got us thinking about the world and our place in it. Don't say we didn't warn you.Ross WarnerLike a fine wine, Ross remains untouched and quietly collecting dust in the cellar of a bank manager’s suburban home. Patiently biding his time, his ideas and intellect are ripe for the picking. Listening to his dulcet tones is often equal parts intoxicating, nauseating, and frowned upon publicly before midday. Fermented for your pleasure, Ross will always be there to help you take the edge off after a long day. Podsnappery fans often wake up with a pounding headache, unexplainable groin chafe and a complete stranger in their bed after a big night listening to Ross. He has been known to lead to adult-onset pregnancy for at least one very “lucky” lady.Hayley AngellWith the el CPK Fitness 365 Chris Poirier-Kim Hi, I'm Chris Poirier-Kim, but just call me CPK or Chris for short. Whether you've been struggling to lose those few extra pounds of fat, or don't know where to begin, I want to help you achieve your goal while saving as much time as possible. There's no such thing as overnight results, but there is a lot of misinformation out there and I want to help you sort through it all so we can get to the real, new and improved you. Two Brits in America Two Brits in America - Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden Two Brits (more specifically Englishmen) now living in America discuss the nuances of two nations seperated by the Atlantic Ocean.There is no limit to the nature of the subjects that are up for discussion.Culture, food, sports, travel, beer, monarchy, politics, language, plus tons more, will be debated and analyzed (aka. analysed).Fasten your seat belts, be tolerant, understanding, and have a laugh or two or three.The added benefit of listening to this podcast for our American friends is that if you travel across the pond, you will be able to hit the ground running and fit right in with the local cuture, and be language fluent (sort of). Tales of a Gen Z Something J.M Taylor I'm a 23-year-old with back problems and a need for reading glasses and yet I'm still addicted to my phone and enjoy a good party every now and then. I'm kidding...well, sort of. There's actually way more complexity to belonging to a generation that fears climate change as their cause of death and a crippling economy...I hope. I made this podcast to express myself creatively. My concerns for the future, my hopes, my dreams, my weird thoughts, and just about anything else I want to say! So sit back and enjoy the inner workings of my mind as it is truly an enigma.
