Uma Thurman, Vic Reeves and Sharon Osborne walk into a bar…

But not the one at the Hanover Grand in December 1994 where the first loaded Xmas party is in full swing: Weller, Albarn, blaggers, Sir Les Ferdinand, Paul Smith, liggers, Steve Coogan, more celebs, Harry Hill and loaded staff running on fumes but flying on several other things. Hottest ticket in town and it suddenly begins to dawn that something extraordinary is taking place.Tim and some colleagues fly to New York to get something to eat on the company dollar and end up at Dazed and Confused star Milla Jovovich’s flat where it all gets very messy. Meanwhile, back in the office, Pulp Fiction-era Uma Thurman somersaults over the photocopier, karate kicks her way onto the front cover and raises a flag Iwo-Jima-style for rebels of every description. From Uma and Milla’s Hollywood-baiting middle finger to the patriarchy and a cameo from Louise Werner there are women who refuse to play the game everywhere this week. Add Vic Reeves, Keith Allen and a pair of fast-talking young Liverpool footballers and you’ve got more rule-breakers than Groundskeeper Willie could shake a fist at.Elsewhere, legendary cock-er-nee photojournalist Grant Fleming goes from eclipse-chasing in Chile to near-arrest with Ben at the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway and a life-threatening drug raid with Bill and several heavily armed lunatics in Mexico. When loaded wasn’t writing about rebels, you see, it was sending them out to cause chaos all over the world.Add in Platinum Rogues (historical and modern), general Gen Z confusion, moustache revivals, giving Peter Cook the kiss of death and blasting another unfortunate soul off to… erm… Mars, and you’ve got an episode of EXPloaded looking back at peak loaded magazine - loud, messy, dangerous, hilarious and ahead of the curve - and bringing it bang up to date..00:00 Nobel Peace Center Chaos01:04 Podcast Introductions02:14 December 1994 Party04:09 Rebels Issue Theme05:44 Grant Fleming Stories10:04 Uma Cover Swagger11:19 Internet Explained 199413:04 Why Uma Thurman16:25 Historical Rogues Debate18:46 Modern Rogues Picks21:25 Milla Jovovich Shoot24:04 Milla Quotes and Roots25:11 Pot In Moderation26:22 Curious Quotations27:17 Planet Of The Vapes32:51 Send Them To… erm… Mars35:01 Sophistication Station40:17 Sell Me The Cover42:47 Final Issue Highlights45:50 Wrap Up And Book Plug
