MMR #31: Nostalgia 2: Specials syndrome

Podcast: They’re all on tour, forever – and if they’re not, their tribute acts are. The Specials! The Sweet! Deep Purple! Midge fucking Ure, Cast, the Doors and the Dead! But why? And who are they? Who goes to see them, and do they have anal leakage? Robin and Sean revisit the era of the sticky floor. Contains bum notes.

MMR #30: Nostalgia 1: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Podcast: Why is Quentin Tarantino mooching around with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, recasting the dying days of the golden age of Hollywood? Was it so golden? Did it really last this long? Sean and Robin clench the fist of nostalgia. Contains shoes.

MMR #29: Dominic Cummings? WTF?

Podcast: Who is Dominic Cummings, t-shirted nerdboy swinging through Westminster on a lanyard, talking bollocks and getting everyone to go full Brexit and vote for Boris Johnson by any means necessary? Political heavyweights Sean and Robin wade through his emissions. Contains destruction in the pursuit of salvation.

MMR #22: Trump’s tweets

10 Jun 2019 Robin Gibson

Podcast: Donald Trump. Bloody hell. Is he the Best Ever, like he says? Or the Worst? Whatever. Are there keys to his tiny mind in his childlike Twitter feed? Is his milk being adulterated? Can he rival the Mr Men for literary complexity? Robin and Sean inspect the White House shitehouse. Contains stone-cold losers.

Letter from America, part eight: Bohemian Rocketman

5 Jun 2019 Ben Diamond

Nobody wants to go on record about this, but I’m fed up and I’m taking a stand. There’s a pattern of British bands coming here, stealing our blues, taking our women, and criticizing America in their lyrics.

MMR #21: Thatcher: A Very British Revolution

2 Jun 2019 Robin Gibson

Podcast: Remember Margaret Thatcher? The prime minister who tore the country apart without asking first? Actually, we were trying to forget, but the BBC is banging out a mega-documentary on her so we can get screwed all over again. Robin and Sean relive the destruction of industry and the debasement of society. Contains Tebbit.

Letter from America, part seven: Come on UK, do something funny already

22 May 2019 Ben Diamond

We are in a UK comedy drought. We know your political system has fallen to shit. So has ours. Neither situation is funny. Where are the stories on politicians defending Muslim women’s rights and in the same breath calling them letter boxes? That’s funny stuff!

MMR #20: Frankie Boyle’s New World Order. Or is it?

19 May 2019 Robin Gibson

How funny is Frankie Boyle? And if he is, why is he on BBC Two when Mrs Brown’s Boys is prime time BBC One? Has anything changed since Jerry Sadowitz didn’t make it in the mainstream? Can anything shock you now? Robin and Sean talk bollocks for breakfast. Contains timechecks.

ASMR: That Tingling Feeling by Rowan Tallant

MMR #19: ASMR: that tingling feeling

12 May 2019 Robin Gibson

Podcast: Wake up, it’s the 21st century! When people rubbing their hands clock up more YouTube views than Ed Sheeran (figures not verified). Yes, it’s ASMR. Not sure if you can dig nine minutes of pickle chewing or half an hour of keyboard typing? Then you’re in the right place, with Robin and Sean. Contains triggers.
