The Black Dog Podcast

By: Lee Medcalf
  • Summary

  • Join Lee, Darren, Jim and Elton as they waffle, wonder and jabber on about film, geek news, video games and any other tangential rubbish that spring to mind, before reviewing a movie from yesteryear. Removing the Rose Tinted Specs to see if a film really deserves its classic status or the Sh*t Covered Goggles to see if a bad film is actually as awful as its reputation.

  • Saturnalia Cave-Woman From Outer Space
    May 1 2024

    We start this weeks episode with Lee suffering a head cold. Meanwhile Jim has car tech trouble, but manages to watch Parasite The Grey, Fallout and is looking forward to something that sounds like Shart Lake, which has nothing to do with Thames Water we're relably informed.

    Elsewhere Elton watches the very cheerful Zone of Interest and then quizzes the guys with IT Skills to find his Outlook search bar...

    Darren on the other hand manages to watch Civil War, play Clone Hero and also has a disco fridge.

    While Lee, plays Hi Fi Rush, watches Three Body Problem and then lets you know what not to talk to a quantum physicist about, if you ever have a chance to meet one.

    Then after some feedback and a little note about a random uptick in listeners thanks to some random coincidence involving a country & western pop princess we move on to this weeks film.

    Saturnalia Cave-Woman of Outer Space... Dear god help us.

  • Trainspotting
    Apr 17 2024

    This weeks shambles is solely Lees fault due to his inability to read an email, or a diary or tell the difference between the number 16 and 23.

    However, this week, Jim laments the quality of graffiti these days and witnesses a police raid on a old age pensioner drugs ring. Elton wonders why everything sounds so odd in Three Body Problem. Darren gets a shiny head and says a lot (without saying a lot) about Fallout the TV show. While Lee suffers gastric issues thanks to a weekend of Guinness, Pizza and a burger that has mac n cheese hidden under a cheese burger.

    Then after a quick bout of feedback its on to this weeks film. A movie that asks you to "choose life" or better yet choose friends who are not violence addicted psychotics and heroine junkies as we go Trainspotting.

  • Roadhouse (2024)
    Apr 9 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.
