Flash Points
Have you seen The Flash yet? If not you'd better a get a move on. Also, you'll probably want to avoid this spoiler filled episode with reflections on the movie, the latest Batman(s) on film and the future of the DCU. But it's a Batman movie, so we had to talk about it.

Batfleck vs Keat-man: End of Trilogies
This was not intended as another kids takeover episode, but kids being kids they chipped away at us during a country walk in order to make this happen...and then they took over. In this episode we discuss the forthcoming The Flash movie and how that is the conclusion of 5 character trilogies, our...

The Batman Deep Dive
SPOILER ALERT We're going deep on The Batman. So deep we nearly fall in a lake we're walking round whilst we ramble on about the latest movie starring one of our all time favourites. Is this the best film in the franchise yet? Is this the best Catwoman on screen? Join us for a wander around a...

Sequel Selective Amnesia
Just like Jaws: The Revenge, sequels are out to get you and your family. So, let the Soldiers of Hell deep dive into iconic movie franchises to test the theory about whether the majority of original stories committed to film should have just ended after the first one? Who really cares what…

New Dog Old Shiznits
When you've got a dog - and let's face it, who hasn't these days? - then you've got to take it for a walk. So Andy and Spence roam around a country estate like they own it, or rather like Trev and Simon would, and chat about an Atari 2600, an Evercade, a Pinter and homebrew in general, and Black...

Willow Watching
As the restrictions lift and the sun is out, what better way to celebrate than to pretend it's still lockdown, or at best a rainy Sunday afternoon in 90s. Join Andy, Spence and Dave from Geeky Guys for another GroupWatch - this time of 80s classic fantasy movie Willow starring Warwick Davis and…
more -

Eurovision Beer Contest
Late May, and it's like the lockdown roadmap had one eye on the Eurovision calendar! So it was round to Andy's for a Super Saturday full of hoppy, malty, brewed goodness. If we can't win a song contest, maybe we can win something else. Last year it was Bond. This year it was beers. Stay tuned to...
-
Sculpture Park
No longer restricted to recording content remotely, Andy and Spence meet up in a massive park; the Yorkshire Sculpture Park no less. Initially confused by the fact we hadn't skydived on to the undulating terrain, and equally baffled by not having to lay down a marker to decide which direction to...

SAW Christmas

-
Victory Royale
In a spiritual sequel to 2017's 'Cock Shot' episode and 2018's 'Gaming Dads', we now have 'Victory Royale' and the trilogy is complete. (Until we decide to do an unnecessary fourquel at some point. Just like Spielberg we reserve that right.) Yes, this is the podcast where we not only talk about...

-
Zardoz Watch-Party
There is no doubt that these are strange times. But when you succumb to watching Zardoz for entertainment - possibly the weirdest mainstream movie of all time - you can be excused of thinking that very soon you'll wake up and discover Bobby Ewing in the shower. Zardoz. The 1974 Sean Connery…

Connery or Dutch

-
Minidisc Archive: Not Really The Last Show Ever
In 2002, Andy and Spence supposedly broadcast their last ever Soldiers of Hell show together. Now with the benefit of 17 years hindsight we can see that that was somewhat of an inaccurate prediction. As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Soldiers of Hell, join us for another flashback…

Ultimate Weekend

Captain Planet v BraveStarr: Strength of the Bear
No we never expected to stumble across these two cartoon heroes from the 80s this episode either. But seen as we have, I wonder who will win the battle between Captain Planet and BraveStarr? And how did we stumble across them indeed? Well you'll have to stay tuned, but let's just say it was a...

Basil Brush v Badger: Dawn of Puppets
It's Christmas so let's go novelty for this episode. After the broodiness of Batman and the angst of Angel, where better in contrast to go than the puppetry of messrs Basil and Badger; kings of kids TV. Sort of. Spence is not convinced by this curveball that Andy has thrown him in the battle of…
