They share a mutual appreciation for what lies out on the edges of the mainstream. Join them on their journey as they uncover the good, the bad and the intentionally ugly, and rip it all apart. Each episode features a different subject and don't worry if you don't know anything about it, that's part of the fun. We will make sure we fill you in before we delve into the nitty gritty. Just sit back and enjoy the oddities. For people looking for the audiodrama A New Winter, you can now find this by searching for A New Winter: Limited Series or go to anewwinter.net.

-
MOVIES: The Hidden (1987)
An FBI agent (Kyle MacLachlan) and a homicide detective (Michael Nouri) hunt the current human host of an orally exchanged alien life-form. Was this the beginning of Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks? Or perhaps an early X Files episode before X Files even existed? Wait was that Danny Trejo? Have a...

MOVIES: Demonwarp (1988)
A man (George Kennedy) whose daughter was kidnapped by Bigfoot rescues topless teens from alien sacrifice in the woods. This has to definitely be one of the oddest endings to a movie ever. It has to be seen to be believed, or in this case - heard. Join us as we try and make sense of it all....

MUSIC: Idlewild - Captain (1998)
One of our favourite bands from our teens, Idlewild stormed onto the scene with this mini-album/EP 'Captain'. It still feels as fresh today as it did 23 years ago and we will take it track by track. It's a blessing that Idlewild's Captain is compressed into a mere six tracks. In this time…

MUSIC: Hit & a Sh*t - The Offspring
A band that jumped on the sellout wagon pretty dang fast, and perhaps were never able to steal back any cred. Or are they the heroes of California pop punk? Either way, let's listen to songs we liked and hated by The Offspring Website: anewwinter.net Patreon: patreon.com/anewwinter Instagram:...
