Piercing the Veil

On the hottest day ever recorded in the UK, the Pierce Boys recorded the always cool Piercing the Veil. Among the topics are Disclosure Day, Toy Story 5, Steve's final encounter with The Conjuring universe, streaming shows and more.

We take a look at the skirmish that is the new Star Wars film, there's round 2 of Steve vs The Nun, we get obsessed with Obsessed, a Noir Spidey AND an unexpected special guest. 

The Pierce Boys take a look at The Mummy and its best predecessors, Steve is vaguely impressed with Crimson Desert and nobody's impressed with Undertone. All this and more. 

After a hiatus, (more on that in the episode) the Pierce Boys are back in action, catching up since October. 

It's our 3rd Annual Shocktober Special. Join The Pierce Boys as we each select our top 10 all-time favourite Vampire Movies.

A look back at the July blockusters (as we've spent the summer hiding from the sun) we welcome back Wednesday, say goodbye to the Squid Games and Steve seems possessed by Annabelle. 

Dinosaurs, robots, Bondage speculation and Steve vs The Moist Woman. It has to be heard to be believed. 

We had a lot of fun recording this one - tune in for the dissection of Doctor Who, Steve vs The Nun and a lot more. 

We Pierces are very much a wrestling family, join the Pierce Boys as we celebrate our enthusuasm for the squared circle and its outrageous occupants with a special guest appearance by Tiff. 

Join us for another episode of news, views, reviews - and something from Steve that I never thought I'd hear. 

As it's our 70th episode, we look back at how we started, Bond at Amazon, Steve's ongoing look at the Conjuring franchise and we ponder the future of Marvel films, all spiced with some sass and savage, heartfelt controversy. 

It's no secret we're huge Disney fans in this family. Robin & Steve are rejoined by Tiff to discuss our five all time favourite classic Disney animated movies AND one each that we're not so fond of. 

Join the Pierce Boys as we look back at all 36 movies we saw at the cinema this year in a 100 minute special. 

The Pierce Boys are back with a mix of TV, movie and game related stuff, mixed in with the usual off topic meandering because (to be honest) we didn't have a script. 

To mark this year's Shocktober, we present the 2nd annual special, this year, we count down our top ten Hammer movies - and three of the very worst. 

Entering Cyberspace with a look at movies based on games, PLUS - Steve's Conjuring a trip to the Dissection Room and we revisit some recent adventures. 

The Pierce Boys are back in town, catching up with the events of the past month and answering some listeners' questions. 

After a long hiatus, The Pierce Boys bring the dormant Piercing the Veil back in a special reboot episode featuring the filling in of some blanks and answering questions from the listeners.

A two hour special in which the trio count down our favourite movies to watch in the run-up to Christmas. Some of our recommendations might be surprising. 

The Pierce Boys are back, with 20 must see horror movies to help you through the spooky season - plus special guest, Maria Pierce.

In this episode, we salute our late broadcast companion Bo, and welcome newcomer Harley Quinn. Tiff reports on the Tim Burton exhibition in Paris, We look at Disney's Dreamlight Valley game, we revisit our trip to see Barbie, and much, much more. 

Steve covers the latest wrestling games, Tiff streams Harry Potter and The Menu, Robin weighs in on The Flash & Indiana Jones - all this and a whole lot more as the Pierce family examine the latest in pop culture. 

Another monthly round-up of geeky goodness from the Pierces, WWE2K23, Disney Speedstorm, Seal Team, FUBAR, Fast X and a ton more. 

We proudly present the return of Piercing the Veil, covering streaming, gaming and movies PLUS- incessant teasing and mocking when the brats take an unauthorised look at my sacred notebook. (Damn kids!)

Out of the scorched Earth of the current heatwave, the Pierces chat Dog Festivals, Tiff's printing enterprise. Prey, Black Phone, Thor: Love & Thunder, Bullet Train, Legion of Super Pets, Ms Marvel and a whole lot more are covered. Plus, where does Warners/DC go after cancelling the Batgirl movie? 

The Pierces' take on Obi Wan Kenobi, Solo, Ms Marvel, Jurassic World: Dominion, Lightyear, Spiderhead and is traditional scheduled broadcast TV like BBC, ITV and C4 now redundant in the age of streaming. Predictably, we have opinions. All this and more - all we ask is an hour of your time. 

As the UK celebrates the Jubilee, the team assembles to record the podcast where the ONLY royal family mentioned hail from the planet Alderaan. 

A trimmed down two thirds of the team this time. With Tiff absent, we try our best to look at Chucky, Picard, Young Rock, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and pay tribute to the late titan of the comic book industry, Neal Adams. 

Now in a longer, monthly format, the team looks at The Peacemaker, Morbius, games, an Oscar  controversy and we take questions from listener Paul Stevenson.

Close Encounters of the Covid Kind, bingeing Star Wars series, playing WWE 2K22 - and The Batman! 

Každý rok koncem ledna vychází nové 2CD takzvané Line edice, letos věnované pop-rocku z let 1966-1973. U této příležitosti byl dalším hostem Supraphon podcastu producent této řady, Karel Deniš. O tom, jak každé CD vzniká, co vše je potřeba k sestavení takto obsáhlého titulu ale i možném pokračování pro další roky si s ním povídal Jaroslav Špulák.

Legendární metalová skupina Arakain a jejich první deska Thrash The Trash, která po 30 letech vychází v reedici – to je hlavní téma další epizody podcastu Supraphonu, ve kterém byl hostem zakládající člen a kytarista této formace, Jiří Urban. O vzniku této desky, různých změnách v Arakainu či tehdejších poměrech na české metalové scéně si s ním povídal hudební publicista Petr Korál.

Marie Rottrová oslavila 13. listopadu letošního roku životní jubileum, osmdesáté narozeniny. Při té příležitosti vydal Supraphon vinylovou podobu alba Lady Soul 14x / 1970-2021. Právě LP novinka, ale i vzpomínky na začátky, cenzuru, odchod ze scény i opětovný návrat jsou společně s nejkrásnějšími svátky v roce jedněmi z témat nového dílu Supraphon Podcastu, který společně s Marií Rottrovou připravil hudební publicista Jaroslav Špulák.

Do další epizody Supraphon podcastu přijal pozvání poslední žijící člen legendárního Blue Effectu, Lešek Semelka. O spolupráci s Radimem Hladíkem, cenzuře v tehdejší hudbě či jeho odchodech a návratech do kapely si u příležitosti vydání reedice alba Svět Hledačů povídal s Jaroslavem Špulákem.

V novém díle podcastu Supraphonu se vracíme o půlstoletí zpět k prvnímu albu Heleny Vondráčkové „Ostrov“. O jeho vzniku, výběru písní či jak se na desku dostala tehdy zakázaná Marta Kubišová si u příležitosti vydání reedice zpěvačka povídala s Jiřím Svobodou.

In an episode we call "Five Weeks Later" the team finally re-assembles to catch up on venom: Let There be Carnage, Dune, Halloween Kills, Eternals, new Marvel shows, the hoops we have to go through to see a movie at the cinema these days, and a whole lot more....

Sequels that are better than their predecessors, Fast 9, Luca, games, zombies - and UFOs, fact, fiction or wishful thinking? It's a packed show. 

Episode 38 - The One With The Friends Reunion

Hail, the gang's all here in a reunion/catchup episode heralding the return of Piercing the Veil to its usual fortnightly schedule. Soul, Raya and the Last Dragon, Wonder Woman 84, Kong vs Godzilla and of course the Snyder Cut of Justice League are all examined and judged. 

It's the last episode of the year and the Unholy 3 look forward to Christmas, while pondering the latest streaming and gaming news. With added Star Wars and Marvel, of course. 

In which the trio ponder Wonder Woman '84 at Christmas, the PS5 release, and the retirement of wrestling legend The Undertaker as well as the usual unscripted nonsense and shenanigans.

It's the Re-Return of the Unholy Three as we're out of another lockdown. We catch up, reflect, opine and give our thoughts and hopes looking forward to Marvel's Phase IV release slate, post Covid. 

Possibly another pre-lockdown show. More updates, opinions and skewed views. More childhood TV memories, more insanity, and the strange case of Alan Moore sawing the branch he's sitting on. 

The trauma and characters of Courage, the Cowardly Dog, The Flintstones ahead of their time, Batman '66, Shocktober 2020 with the Universal Monsters AND more blonde moments from Tiff - we've got it all this time.

The gang's all back as we reunite for our post apocalypse/hiatus return to action special.

Apocalypse Special. In these trying World War Z times, despite the Outbreak and Contagion, we haven't gone Omega Man yet. We're hoping this episode will go Viral, though. 

In which we remember Loki, there's a Scoob controversy, we cast a glance at the Invisible Man, the Coronavirus  and choose between The Addams Family and The Munsters.

It's all going down - Mad Love, The Stranger, Picard, and some new rodent friends - before we take a deep dive into the murky depths of the Marianna Trench.  (Phew)

In which the trio brave the raging storm to remember Kirk Douglas, discuss The Grudge, delve into the history of Harley Quinn deliver a verdict on The Birds of Prey AND predict an Oscar winner or two. 

In view of the release of Jay & Silent Bob : The Reboot, the Terrific Trio cast an eye on their favourite Kevin Smith movies, and a whole lot more.
