Episode 326 - Everybody Cut Footloose


Claire Vaughan from Chapter Arts joins us again this week, this time to talk about one of her favourite ever movies from the 80s - the Kevin Bacon dancing classic, Footloose!

Now it's true, this town HAS banned podcasting, and talking about 80s movie classics, but we're going to tear down the walls of authority and resist the adults, because that's what you gotta do when you're the cool kids in this type of scenario!

We may also kick off our Sunday shoes. So there.

Episode 325 - Working Overtime, Fighting Crime


This week sees the return of the Jer Bear himself, Jeremy Sebolt! He's here to talk about a personal 80s passion, those masked crusaders themselves. the mighty Mobile Armoured Strike Kommand!

Yes, we know that "command" isn't spelt like that. It was the 80s.

From Thunderhawk to Switchblade, from Spectrum to Viper, we discuss it all here, and even give some love to the more insane vehicles that came late on in the line!

We even say nice things about the cartoon.

The Nerva Beacon Podcast - Episode 9: The Third Doctor


It's the turn of Doctor number 3 to come under the spotlight of Leigh and Glenn, as they look at not only UNIT, Jo, Liz, Sarah Jane, The Master and all the other great foes he came up against, but also the real world reasons why the Third Doctor ended up being an exile on planet Earth, sometime around the 1970s or 80s. Ish.

Don't worry. We're not opening THAT particular can of worms anytime soon.

Episode 323 - Getting Too Old For This


Duncan joins us again this week - yes, Duncan from Stacebob and the Dweebs! He's come on again to talk about one of his favourite movie franchises - the Lethal Weapon series! That age-old tale of older cop meets unhinged cop, meets violent paramilitary drug dealing organisation. You know, that old chesnut.

So expect thrills, spills, Three Stooges, Leo Getz, evil diplomats and getting screwed at the Drive Thru.

Ok, ok, ok.
