The Hat Chat Podcast

We (the super cool Hat Films guys) cover some pretty gross topics in this one, Ross admits he was never a fan of Skyrim and then we hear about the horrific stench of Pokemon competitions and Comicon events. There's some mockery of the latest Tesla event and concerns for trotts favourite categories on the hub. We hope you enjoy and check out all 233 other Hat Chat episodes as this was most definite...

We skip around with ideas in this one starting with Alun's methods in terms of dealing with food stealing seagull attacks. We discuss cars for a bit, even though we know very little about them. We pivot to our favourite dinosaurs and question how real they are and if their bones were planted as an elaborate prank. Then finally onto some bizarre news involving a guy attempting to do the nasty to a...

This week we get into misophonia - including Trott's own experience with it and what frustrates him most about living with it. Then we shift gears completely and talk about the new Pokémon 30th Anniversary cards, and how absurd the prices people are paying for them have gotten. From there we take a trip down memory lane, chatting about the Minecraft adverts we made back in the day and getting into...

This week, we discuss the harsh realities of AI technology potentially taking over the human race - but we keep it nice and light, with a sprinkle of animal nature in the form of bears tearing the skin off living salmon. If that's not your bag, we take a turn toward the newly announced iPhone Duo and question both its use cases and its exorbitant cost. There's also a new Zelda remake announcement,...

This week we debate the actual point of cloning yourself, using The Prestige as our case study - do you go full Hugh Jackman or full Christian Bale? We then question why the news insists on interviewing random people in the street about serious topical stories, then it's 'curtains for zoosha" as we look into how confusing the internet celebrity space is and how quickly you can fall behind. That le...

This week: the agony of saying "alright mate?" to a semi-stranger mid-walk, then straight into Star Citizen's endless funding vs. its glitchy, still-unfinished reality (courtesy of a stream that fell apart on air). Gamescom brings news of a Witcher 3 remaster, a new Worms game, and - bizarrely - a Thomas & Friends title. Then we get into it: Meta's smart glasses hackable recording indicator, the p...

Visit http://www.menhirsfate.com/ for more info about out LARP Fest! This week on The Hat Chat Podcast, we kick things off with a quick shoutout to the Triforce Podcast, then dive into the latest GTA 6 leaks from Cyberleek. We break down what we know so far, whether an old build leaking might mean the final game looks or plays differently, and what features we're now expecting from the leaked samp...

We're doing a Haturday Live on the 22nd August! Become a Member/Twitch Sub or join our Patreon and pick a side between three houses: Alexsor, Hard Ross Cafe, and Club Trotticana. This week we also get into why history's suddenly interesting now nobody's forcing us to learn it, Ross's story about watching a man kick a rat to death in Bristol, and how stretched Bristol police are with bike thefts, p...

We start this one asking if it's even worth naming every colour in the spectrum, and by the end we've somehow convinced ourselves humanity might be the uncontacted tribe - the North Sentinel Island of the universe, quietly minding our own business while some alien anthropologist takes notes from a safe distance. In between: the colour scientists supposedly created by lasering someone's eyeball, th...

Sony just killed physical game discs - and the internet is furious. This week on Hat Chat, we dig into Sony's decision to stop producing disc copies of video games from 2028, and why gamers are losing their minds about it. We break down what this actually means for you: full Sony control over your games, the death of the second-hand market (RIP trade-ins), and the very real fear that game prices a...

We're back, we're sweaty, and one of us might be a baby. We open this week with a pressing issue — AI will not stop using em dashes and we need to talk about it. From there we're sweating through the UK heatwave, losing our minds over the GTA 6 no-disc price tag situation, and piling onto the Steam Machine comeback which arrived with big promises and bigger price tags. We ask: what if you woke up...

In this episode of Hat Chat, we deliver a 'semi-spoiler' review of Disclosure Day, picking apart the film's biggest plot holes and the issues that left us unimpressed. From there, the conversation shifts to Hollywood pay culture, sparked by the Obsession art director's claims of being underpaid despite the film's global success. That leads into a wider debate on whether actors are paid too much an...
