Roadhouse (2024)

Roadhouse (2024)
This week Jim returns to normality, but still manages to watch a film about screaming foreheads. Elton runs, well walks, well kinda misses, a half marathon. Darren gets a new(ish) phone which is not wanted by the police, HONEST! He also watches Monkey Man and plays a horror game fighting Muppets (as you do). While Lee takes part in a film quiz, in a cinema, surrounded by "media studies" students, a pillow of popcorn hangs in the balance. And he also watches a creepy low budget indie film found in the depths of Amazon Primes rent list. Then after some feedback for last weeks episode we move on to this weeks film. A remake (kinda) of the Patrick Swayze 1989 action classic Roadhouse which should have perhaps been renamed Beach Front Tiki Bar.

Totally Killer
This week Jim watches Madam Web, pray for mojo. Elton has a Traitors evening and spends most of this evening trying to explain to Lee what Traitors is. While Darren works over the holiday break, enjoys Blue Eyed Samurai and comes under questioning about Batman and Ninjas... Also we may have slipped into the 1930s gangster speak which makes sense in context... I won't try and explain it here. Then after a bit of feedback its off to the 80s to point at stuff and say "thats a bit rubbish" over and over, while trying to find a serial killer in a Max Headroom mask, in this weeks movie Totally Killer.

American Fiction
This week due to unforseen circumstances which may or may not be introducing us to GI Joe, Elton is not in the first half of the podcast as he has gone to live with all your missing childhood pets on a farm. Elsewhere however, Jim is astounded by another oddly normal cryptid and is interviewed on a YouTube channel... Darren watches The Gentleman and also is overcome with emotion thanks to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. While Lee watches the latest found footage horror hot ticket Late Night With The Devil and the Netflix film Damsel Then after that we get seriously self congratulatory with all the positive feedback from last weeks episode and finally move on to this weeks film.

GI Joe The Movie
This week is.... Well... Its a thing... We see the return of Darron Diamond (just long enough for us to probably be hit with enough copyright issues to ensure we never show up on any platform again) Elsewhere Jim watches Community and the second week of batchelordom causes him to wonder about Emergency Ambulances in a way that might confuse and confound. Elton spends his week becoming an emotional wreck thanks to the ending of several tv shows. Darren watches Code 8 Part 2 and gets excited by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic, while Lee whiles away a Saturday night watching Sam Rockwell dance and Anna Kendrick turn manic pixie dream girl up to insanely irritating levels in the Neflix show Mr Right. Then after some feedback for last weeks show its on to the main event...

Freaks (2018)
This week, Jim is home alone with nothing but a pot noodle fort and a warhammer 40K bolter for comapany. Darren falls asleep to Sandra Bullocks Lost City while Lee foils Bromleys most inept movie pirate operation, loses his headphones and has a cinema to himself to watch Dune part two in the front most centre seat. Then after some tube / straw / pipe talk... Yes really! We move on to this weeks film a low budget, high concept, little seen sci fi thriller on Netflix... Freaks.

Hell or High Water
Be prepared to have your mind blown as we have a green room pre recording recording revealing the difference between a tube.. and... a pipe. The results will turn your world upside down... Well perhaps slightly skew it until the weird Russian accents kick in.... AAAAAAnyway... This week Jim spots a (kinda) Cryptid amongst the tombstones and is besieged by tech issues, Elton goes dental, Darren reads some books and watches Dune 2: Sandy Boogaloo, while Lee watches a French crime series which may have a scene of people in animal mascot costumes doing naughty things... oh and he is almost killed by a cheese and pickle sandwich. After that its on to this weeks movie... It was supposed to be Taking of Pelham 123, but Amazon, MGM and Google screwed the pooch on that...

Then after some feedback regarding Ben Affleck in The Accountant and a misunderstanding of what film we reviewed last week, we move on to this weeks movie. Is it a comedy-horror? a horror-comedy? Splatstick or a a rockband movie like The Monkies made back in the 60s?

This week Jims Anti-Dairy-Biotics tribulations continue, Elton has trouble whacking off a tyre so gets someone else to grab his tool and whack it off for him, Darren feels like Madam Web might not be all that, and Lee watches a few films ranging from Wonka to The Beekeeper, all the while fighting to keep himself awake after being up since 5am. Then after a touch of feedback its on to this weeks film... Either a glorious evocation of 90s nostalgia action flicks or a misguided coke fuelled excuse to get a bunch of teen boys in their pants and throw Lou Gossett Jnr through a window? Who can say?

Ready Or Not
This week Jim has some words for the transport company running the Trans Pennine Express... Especially the use of the word "Express". Elton suffers at the hands (or comments) of arm chair world war 2 aviation "experts". While Darren plays knock off PokeMon (or is that Pikey Mon?) in the form of PalWorld. He also has an uncomfortable time watching Emma Stone in Poor Things in the cinema. Lee on the other hand is having a whale of a time cleaning patios in a video game, namely Power Wash Simulator... Add to that some updates about republishing Blackdog Version 1, guessing how close we are to the apocalypse based on the price of Freddo Frog chocolates, some woefully inaccurate reporting of world news events and moaning about how loud pubs are and you'd think that was the podcast done. BUT NO! Air fryers continue to plague the discussion to the point it is now being considered about pivoting the cast to simply a cheap ass cooking show. But in the end we do get back on track as our unofficial "Eat the rich" theme continues as we review the "subversive" darkly comedic thriller Ready or Not Media discussed this episode Masters of the Air (Apple TV) Poor Things (Cinema release) Sandman Audio drama (Audible) Power Wash Simulator (PC, Xbox, Playstation) Palworld (PC, Xbox) Lethal Company (PC) Ready or Not (Disney+) Prison Ship Star Slammer aka Star Slammer (Amazon Prime) Music "Boogie Party" and "Farting Around" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

White Tiger
This week we learn that Jim is back on the cheese and in a coincidentally related note is also hunkering down from the wind. Elton, is proud of his artist mum and also teases a new podcast project that is in double umbongo embargo. Meanwhile Darren dives into YouTube to find out if the tv shows he liked as a kid in the 70s hold up (spoiler noooope!) and finally Lee watches two lacklustre movies (Role Play and Ghostbuster:Afterlife) and then recounts a trip to the planet Avora, a world of cocktails and out of work panto actors in trendy Hoxton area of London. Oh and how do you say Ibuprophen?... Lee appears to have it a little wrong... Then after a combo of Saltburn feedback and prostrations upon the alter of the cult of the Air Fryer its on to this weeks movie. A pointedly satirical tale of social control, class, freedom, repression and serfdom in India. White Tiger.

This week Jim becomes patient zero for Last of Us, Elton watches Leave the World Behind, Darren wonders why the War of the Worlds musical is so different from the unabridged audio book, which also seems to have more cockney "AVE IT!" moments from the Martians, while Lee becomes exasperated by Good Omens 2 and nearly blows up the kitchen making the veg for a roast dinner. After that we dive down a deep and disturbing rabbit hole as feedback reveals a cult of the airfryer, growing within the listening ranks.

Welcome to 2024 - A new year and a new episode of your favourite podcast after all the others you listen to first. This week we all look back over our christmas break, Jim joins Darren in the cult of the Air Fryer much to Lee and Eltons dismay. But Jim does redeem himself with "Piggys In Blankets in Holes" er... yeah... Probably best not to google that. He also watches some weird chrismas films in preparation for next years season on the cast. Meanwhile Elton has tooth trouble (OUCH!) gets his arse kicked at PS5 FIFA Football and also uncovers a mystery console. Darren gives us a sofa update and has a festive christmas watch of The Mist... Yes that one... And finally Lee, crashes and burns with Covid (again), opens a Letterboxd account for the podcast and amongst the film reviews takes a detour through Scavengers Reign.... Oh dear...

The Platform
What can I say, this is a long episode with a lot to process... From great hopeful health news for Jim, to tap drama for Elton, Darren being excited by an air fryer and Lee getting savaged (and possibly super powers) from a rabid squirrel. Add to that interesting feedback for last weeks episode and then its on to this weeks movie which is either a parable about greed, class, selfishness and social hierarchy or.... The physical representation of all the music of the 80s (especially Nik Kershaw)... The Netflix Spanish dystopian scifi horror The Platform... Again be warned... Its a damn long episode...

Then after a shared trauma of feedback for our somewhat crazed Alone In The Dark commentary club cross over and a surprising retweet by the last person you'd expect to endorse us, its on to this weeks film... Is it a tale of grief? Disaffected youth? A parable for drugs use? A warning about the desire to do anything to fit in? Or is it a warning about washing your hands? Who knows....

Alone in the Dark: Commentary Club
Hey everyone and welcome to Halloween... Welp! We did it! We did four horror films over October and released this episode on Halloween itself! Wow! How do we celebrate? By combining Blackdog chaos with Jim and Teresa doing a Commentary club on Uwe Bolls "masterpiece" Alone In The Dark, which is currently available on Amazon Prime. It is a watch along episode as all of us descend in to drunken madness. So if you have no intention of watching this absolute nonsense then probably best skip an episode which sounds like the last captains log of the USS Event Horizon. Otherwise pull up a chair, a lot of booze, slap the film on and watch along as we slowly go mad trying to work out why Father Ted wants a Phillips screwdriver from the bottom of the ocean, why a ZBrush tutorial is apparently scary, what on Earth is so sexy about Ninah Cherry and Youssou N'Dour and why one soldier is so obsessed about lights.. There may also be wine tasting tips and a lot of B Roll footage... Who knows... I'm drunk writing this stuff... Just be glad its spelt right!

Then after some feedback and an absolute cock up of a jingle we move on to this weeks review for The Babysitter. A crazy kitch post modern black comedy slasher flick or just an excuse to get Samara Weaving in to a bunch of sexy clothes, act like a nerd fanasty girl, kiss a cheer leader and uncomfortably chat up a 12 year old boy?

Welcome back to this weeks episode of The Blackdog Podcast. This week Jim is away. So Lee tries to fill the void with extra dose of poorly delivered dad jokes before we move on to everyones week, including Eltons shock that there is a national cinema day and Darren falling into a hell of generic superhero cliches watching Blue Beetle, followed by Jurassic Park. Lee on the other hand, climbs Elizabeth Tower and gets his insides liquidised thanks to close proximity to the Big Ben bell as it struck the hour. As well as visiting a "pug cafe" and watching in quick succession the Daniel Craig James Bond movies and gaining a new appreciation for them in the process. Then, after a bit of feedback (and a possible threat of watching more Reb Brown movies in the future its on to this weeks film) which due to a small streaming error changed from the scheduled film The Vikings, into Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny... Which may actually be about Archimedes going to Timpsons key cutters, watch repairs and shoe weather treating oh dear...

Space Mutiny
Welcome back... After a while away we return with Jim having a rough couple of weeks, Elton discussing The Bear, Darren & Lee catch up with Babylon 5 The Road Home, The Flash, Barbie and for his sins Lee also gets taken to see The Meg 2 and learns about the crush resistance of a deviated septum. Then after some hastily cobbled together jingles (thanks fruit based megacorp for the obligatory third party legal requirement buy in) we move on to this weeks film... A gibbering mess of mid 80s warehouse sets, stolen film footage, bikinis, hula hoop space discos, interpretive dance, random evil laughing and "thrilling" cardboard pedal car chases.

The Power Of The Dog

The Power Of The Dog
This week, the jingles all get shot down 1 hour after we finished recording so I'm plenty happy about that... Thanks hosting service and fruit based asshats... Anyway this week Jim joins a cult, Elton gets excited about USB car chargers (again), Darren screws up comedy and Lee replaces a fan in his car, then a resistor and then.... Well... Car repair is more of an art than a science... Then after a tiny bit of feedback its on to this weeks film and an opportunity to resurrect the old "change the actors name" gag as we review BendyStraw Crumplezone's oscar worthy drama by director Jane Campion, The Power of the Dog... Oh... and heres the legal nonsense for the music...
