The Podcast Nobody Asked For

Not that anybody asked but this week we squeezed into costume and hovered hopefully in the background because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies We Wish We Were An Extra In. And with Ian having recently lived the dream as a real life extra, we're asking the truly important question: which cinematic worlds would be worth standing around in for twelve hours for three seconds of screen time? Would you rather be a reveller in a galaxy far, far away, a pedestrian dodging kaiju in downtown Tokyo, or a partygoer in the most glamorous era Hollywood ever put on screen? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect being riverside on Riverside, middle class picklebacks and the bee who gets blamed for the honey going missing.

Not that anybody asked but this week we put on the red dragon and cleared our throats for a rousing rendition of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau because we're figuring out our Top 3 Welsh Characters In Film, and we are very happy to be joined by the fantastic Tales For Wales Podcast who are going to help us get to the bottom of this timeless question. From the valleys to the silver screen, we're asking which Welsh characters have truly represented the land of song, and which ones were just doing a funny accent and hoping nobody noticed. Are they heroes? Are they villains? Are they just inexplicably, magnificently Welsh? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect the Porthcawl Elvis Convention, Hollyoaks: After Dark and not being able to say "Gondoland" anymore.You can listen to Part 2 on Sunday over on the Tales For Wales - A Welsh History PodcastAlso, follow them on Instagram: tales4walespodcastand check out their website www.talesforwales.com

Not that anybody asked but this week we cracked open the fossils and hatched some prehistoric eggs because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies That Would Be Better If You Replaced One Character With A Dinosaur. From heartfelt dramas to high-octane action blockbusters, we’re asking the truly important question: would this film be improved by the sudden and unexplained addition of a prehistoric reptile? Should a noble hero be swapped for a T. rex? Could a cunning villain be replaced by a velociraptor? And would any romantic subplot survive the introduction of an ankylosaurus? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect Just Dinosaurs, a Nicki Minajless WW2 and a T-Rex that's 2 Miles high.

Not that anybody asked but this week we dusted off the DVDs and redrew the storyboards because we're figuring out our Top 3 Cancelled Shows That Need An Animated Series. Inspired by the news that Firefly is once again refusing to stay cancelled, we’re asking which shows deserve a second life but with fewer limits and a lot more animated chaos. Which cult classics would actually thrive without budgets, sets, or reality getting in the way? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a world where Tim Burton was happy, Nero's purple marble bathtub and having the same favourite dinosaur.

Not that anybody asked but this week we sharpened the samurai swords and got the editing software ready because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies We Would “Whole Bloody Affair”. In the spirit of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, we're looking at pairs of films that should really be sliced together into one glorious, overstuffed super-movie. Which cinematic mashups deserve the Tarantino treatment? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a dream of eating jelly beans in a ski resort, the biggest jelly bean you can legally buy and a search for The Pound Off.

Not that anybody asked but this week we phoned a friend and went for the grand prize because we're figuring out our Top 3 Gameshows That Sound Like They Could Be Bad Action Films. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect sweaty milk, Earthworm Jim Broadbent and the big t-rex that had the little bit of flesh that popped out so you could see the ribs.
