Episodes

Jaws! (The ultimate episode)
Back in March, we sat down to record a bumper bonus episode to celebrate the end of WDAWKT as a regular podcast. After we'd recorded, we went out for a few drinks, a nice meal, and a few more drinks, and in the glow of companionship and the fog of the following hangover, we rather forgot actually...
-
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an indispensable companion to all those who are keen to make sense of life in an infinitely complex and confusing Universe, for though it cannot hope to be useful or informative on all matters, it does at least make the reassuring claim, that where it is...
-
Dick Tracy
Warning: Contains 150% of your daily recommended allowance of Dick jokes. We're not sure what led us down the rabbit hole that ended at Warren Beatty's 1990 live action interpretation of the classic detective comic strip. We're even less sure if we like the film or not. One thing is for certain,...
-
Sneakers
Part two of our hacker, tech, double bill is a different beast, less 00's cyberjizz and more grounded. With an all-star ensemble (seriously, check out the cast!) Sneakers actually is an undersung classic. Sure it has some plot holes but where else do you get these actors on screen together doing...
-
Swordfish
It's a techy, hacky, cyber double bill this month starting with what we'd love to call an under appreciated classic ... but we can't cos it's not. What it is though is The early 00s on a plate! From Travolta chewing the sets, to Halle Berry smouldering so hard she's in danger of setting fire to...
-
WDAWKT Top 10 Christmas Songs!
It's beginning to look a lot like the most wonderful time for dashing through the snow with all I Want for Christmas... we're back with our second festive top ten, this time it's Christmas songs! As ever, a medley of seasonal songs and a reminder to not record in the same pub that's showing the...
-
WDAWKT Top 10 Christmas Movies!
Happy festive season to one and all. And in the spirit of giving, we're giving you not one but 10 movies wrapped up in this, the first of our Christmas specials. From the warming seasonal classics, to the hotly debated, each and every film on the list is hand picked by one of the WDAWKT crew to...
-
Auguste Escoffier
We figured a change of pace would be welcome this month and so we dive into the modern kitchen with the father of modern cuisine Auguste Escoffier ... not literally, he's been dead for a while. But we get to take a tasty trip through the history of the man himself, his impact on the kitchen, and…

Robots!
Continuing with our shameless rehashing of previous content in the name of nostalgia (what? If Hollywood can do it then we definitely can), we're heading back to the scary, wonderful world of robotics. From fictional to friendly to "holy cow is that real?" we cover the origins, the current day…

Blade Runner 2049
We're going back to the beginning ... almost, as we revisit two of our earliest episodes. The first is a sequel to one of our favourite films, and it kinda holds up. Denis Villeneuve, Roger Deakins, and an all star cast return to LA to make a movie that's nearly as good as the first one. But not...
-
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Do you ever wonder if we just phone this in? Well sometimes we do - by returning to a topic that's so beloved to us, your nerdy, inebriated hosts, that we can pretty much just show up and smash it out. This month, after the excitement of John Williams, we're back with The Legend of Zelda: Breath…
more -
John Williams
It was only a matter of time before we finally had to spend a whole episode talking about one of the most influential composers in cinema history. John Williams (not a sir) has scored some of our favourite film franchises, plus a couple we're not so hot on, so this bumper episode is all about…

Hand-held Gaming
Did you know there were over 50 hand-held gaming systems out there? It's not just about the gameboy!!! Ok it's mostly about Gameboys, but it's still a finger flying, button clicking, adventure from the early handheld battles, through the battery life renaissance, and into the future as we look at...
-
Lethal Weapon 3 and 4
Picking up where we left off it's time to finish this! This being the Lethal Weapon series in case you weren't sure. And while the first two are dark and moody, the second two are ... also pretty dark but feature Jet Li and some seriously silly stuntwork. Oh and Rob gets really cross about E3…
more -
Lethal Weapon 1 and 2
Proving once and for all that we may be too old for this stuff, we're back with a double header, an iconic duo of films starring the iconic duo of Gibson and Glover, its the first part of Lethal Weapon!
-
Mike Buys Bitcoin
Turns out, even after our amazing Live Show where we talked all about BitCoin, Mike has never actually bought any. This changes today as we cover most of the entire process, from opening an exchange account, to funding, trading, configuration of a hardware wallet and monitoring the value of...
-
Jack Reacher
We didn't go looking for trouble, but sometimes, when you're recording a podcast in a small bar, in a sleepy town in the middle of Jersey, trouble finds you. In this case, trouble was the owner of the bar demanding we settle our tab ... which was fine cos we'd been there a while discussing the...
-
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
And now for something completely different. We told you season 3 was gonna mix it up and this is us doing just that. Our first ever episode dedicated entirely to one computer game (just happens to be one of Rob's faves). 1992 SNES Action RPG The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. From the…
more -
Ghost in the Shell
Continuing our two part exploration of classic Anime, this episode is all about Ghost in the Shell. And we mean the 1995 original not the weird, live-action remake, or one of the many spin offs. We explore the expanded universe of the movie (briefly) and generally marvel at the progression of...
-
Akira
After a brief hiatus we're back with a new (ish) format and this first episode, the opener for a double bill of Anime goodness with Akira.
-
Scrooged
Ho ho ho, it's Christmas time! Which can only mean one thing, Mike and Rob have dug into the Xmas movie archives to find something for you to unwrap. But you don't need to wait till the big day, oh no, our gift to you is ready right now, and it's Richard Donner's underrated dark festive…
more -
Space Travel
Come fly with us, amongst the stars ... well star ... ok we're going to the moon and that's about it. But we are exploring (see what we did there?) the rocket-powered world of space travel which remains a fantastic example of mankind going a long way in a short time and then realising they have a...
-
Dune
Space, Spice, Sting, Scrotum Turds, Toto ... it can only be Dune in this month's WDAWKT movie extravaganza. We'd originally planned this to coincide with the release of the new movie but, COVID happened, the new movie got bounced to 2021 and we decided to do it anyway. To be clear, this is…
more -
Beer
It was bound to happen eventually, and it was even more bound to happen during backwards month. For MIke's Debut Deep Dive he's diving deep into the art of brewing as we talk beer! From the truly ancient historical roots through to modern-day hipster brewing trends we sip, gulp, quaff and belch…
more -
Tron
It's backwards month! And that means Rob is doing a movie and Mike is in charge of the deep dive. Which film could Rob possibly want to talk about for an hour? Well, it would be Hackers or Big Trouble but we've already done those. Frozen II was considered but Mike would likely explode. So we've...
-
Time Travel
We're going back in time! To a time before time was timed, but do we have enough time to talk about time? The answers to this and absolutely nothing else are to be found in this weird and wonderful episode where we talk Time Travel. Listen as we explore the possibility of visiting the past, the...
-
Back to the Future
"We're were going, we don't need roads!" ... but we do need to spend at least an hour chatting about 80's time travel classic Back to the Future. From concept through to execution we lift the lid on this tested family favourite with 1-star reviews, a fair quantity of debate over the merits of the...
-
Typography
We're breaking it down to the letter, crossing the t's and dotting the i's, writing it up and writing it down ... yeah, it's time to talk Type! This one is longer than normal but then it's not often we do a deep dive into something that's been around since the DAWN OF TIME! And there's a quiz and...
-
The Third Man
Vienna, 1949. Still ravaged by the ravages of the second World War, the once beautiful city is bruised and battered but still standing, hints of her former glory still present even as the Americans, British, French, and Soviets portion her up. This is the stage for the Third Man, British Noir...
-
Email
We've been thinking and are both in agreement - email is where it's at ... at ... ? ... no? Oh fine! We're still gonna take this episode to explore the wonder that it Electronic Mail though. From its humble origins displacing flag waving hot air balloonists, to the pervasion of spam, we're doing…
more -
The French Connection
"Popeye is here!" Everyone relax, we're back with the '71 gritty, suspense-filled cop drama The French Connection. We're walking the mean streets of a pretty grim new York city as we try to work out just what the hell is going on in William Friedkin's classic. With one-star reviews, no small…

Star Trek - Part 3 - The Undiscovered Country, Generations
Part 3, The Stumble Home! We did it gang! Half the movies! Listen in as Rob and Mike talk through The Undiscovered Country at great length, then realise they have a whole other film! They're 5 hours in to recording, will they make it!?!!?!?
-
Star Trek - Part 2 - The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, The Final Frontier
Ok, so this one is also an hour and a half long. On the plus side, by the time you get to 45 mins in you'll be halfway through our Star Trek Mega Marathon! In this episode, we talk about Nimoy's ability to direct and make money, Shatner's inability to direct ... and to make money, transparent...
-
Star Trek - Part 1 - The Motion Picture & Wrath of Khan
We've talked about it, threatened it, argued over it and we've finally done it - a Star Trek episode. But rather than picking our favourite (Wrath of Khan obv.) we decided to run a bumper edition of 3 weekly episodes covering all 6 original cast movies and Generations to round it off! We've got 1...
-
Pac-Man!
This week we've got Pac-Man Fever! It's Pac-Man's 40th Birthday this month and we're talking about his record-breaking history, his life story, and we may just learn a little something about life along the way! Intro music: Pac Man (Trap Remix), Joe Monday © 2015 Joe Monday Outro music: Pac-Man...
-
Superman
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Mike and Rob and a bumper episode full of super goodness. While this one can't claim to be faster than a speeding anything (it's long) at least it sounds better than the last two! Learn everything there is to know about the making of the O.G. Superman (none…
more -
RISC
Still in lockdown and still with poor audio quality (sorry about that, we'll do better next time), we're back and exploring the exciting world of RISC architecture. Do you know how a CPU works? Mike doesn't. Rob, might, you have to give it a listen and find out. With an utterly amazing fact, a…
more -
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Recording from lockdown! Not even Coronavirus is gonna stop us from bringing you your fortnightly fix of WDAWKT! Of course, we had to record it remotely, but it's all here, a perfect run-through of a classic western. This month we're heading to the wild west ... of Spain ... to ride across the...
-
Self Driving Cars
As the Beatles famously didn't say, "Baby, mine can drive itself!" This month we talk about autonomous driving vehicle things! From cars to drones, to combine harvesters in Interstellar we discuss it all and more!
-
Big Trouble In Little China
We considered whether this movie would be too self-indulgent - but what's the point of having a podcast if you can't indulge every so often? We're heading back into the lurid world of John Carpenter with this month's movie, martial arts, mysticism and a healthy dose of humility as we head into…
more -
Y2K!!
PANIC! Well, we all did 20 years ago! Rob takes Mike on a whistle stop tour of what Y2K was, why it happened and why nothing did end up happening! Theres an Amazing-Ish Fact, plenty of laughs and possibly the most bloopers ever!
-
North by Northwest
Suit up and get running! In revenge for Frozen, Mike picked this month's movie and it's a classic! We head North by Northwest, enabled by Hitchcock and Grant and on the way? Well, anything could happen!
-
Disney - The CGI Years
A follow up to our celebrated and Award-Winning episode on cell animation, Rob & Mike explore the CGI years of Disney! From tiny lamps to emotionless, dead-in-the-eye CGI lions, they cover it all!
-
Frozen
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We're getting started with a bang and addressing one of Mike's blank spots as we take a wander through the winter wonderland that is, Frozen (turns out Mike really doesn't like Disney musicals). Grab a reindeer and ride along as we discover just how much Mike doesn't like Disney...
-
Father Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, except Mike & Rob who, wine bottle in hand, come crashing down the chimney and leave sooty footprints all over the place in their search for the origins of Father Christmas. From the origins of St Nick,...
-
The Star Wars Holiday Special
Beginning a long career of cashing in on his own franchise, George Lucas alleges he had nothing to do with this 1978, made for TV, musical bonanza. We call BS as this is clearly the work of some kind of twisted genius with a penchant for variety TV. Featuring songs by Diahann Carroll, Jefferson...
-
Antitrust
It's more interesting than it sounds ... honest! Mike & Rob look back at the history of antitrust action in the US and how it can apply to today's big tech companies... see told you it was interesting! Of course, we do so with quite a bit of childish innuendo, a range of slightly adult themes and...
-
The Hateful Eight
It finally happened - we did a Tarrantino movie. Specifically, The Hateful Eight from 2015. Mercifully, MIke manages to avoid going full film nerd and, instead, explores the nuance of one of the world's greatest directors in traditional puerile fashion. Rob gets confused by the movie and, it's…

The Life of Jim Henson
Sorry We're (Drunk) and Late! It'll be worth the wait as this month we delve into the the genius of Jim Henson! Rob takes Mike through the life of the master puppeteer, writer and Director; Mike totally gets more than 50% on a quiz about Muppets, and things get downright emotional talking about...
-
The Dark Crystal
1982, or a thousand years ago whichever you prefer, Rob has dragged Mike back into one of his childhood favourites in this month's movie segment, as they explore the muppet filled planet of Thra in The Dark Crystal. Featuring a solid critique of a modern classic, a rock hard lambasting of the...
