Mwah! Welcome to the 2024 Bootleg Turkey Valentine’s Special! Romance might be dead, but this podcast will never die! So, here’s an extra-special treat just in time for Valentine’s Day: It’s another of the fan-favourite ‘Guess the Twist’ episodes! This week we are watching the 2008 Ryan Reynolds rom-com ‘Definitely, Maybe”. (Before you start, we’re not actually 4 months late, we just don’t conform...

Season 2 Episode 9 covers the 2023 Horror 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey'. Themes include: Huel, New Year’s Resolutions, and Public Domain Day. (Apologies in advance for poor audio quality. But, let’s be honest, you ain’t paying for these, so you can’t be that annoyed.)

When it comes to turkey, some people prefer dark meat; some prefer light! This is neither, this is the pressure washed carcass that supermarkets throw out after they’ve made their succulent sandwich fillings. Enjoy!

Wow! Look! What's that in your stocking? It's the Bootleg Turkey 2023 Christmas Special! I guess you've been naughty this year... Season 2 Episode 8 covers the 2022 Chrismas Action/Comedy 'Violent Night'. Themes include: Joe's Play, Improv 'Comedy', and the Year in Review.

Season 2 Episode 7 covers the 2023 M. Night Shyamalan Horror-Mystery 'Knock at the Cabin'. Themes include: The upcoming Fartageddon, Morrisons Brownies, and Mascot Fights. (Apologies in advance for all the cussing.)

Season 2 Episode 6 really turns the series on its head. Instead of watching a movie to see how long we would last, Jacob pitches his movie idea, 'The Runner', which gives the listener the opportunity to see how long they can last before switching over to a better podcast!

Following on from last week, Season 2 Episode 5 is another 'Guess the Twist'. This week we are watching the 2009 Hawaiian vacation thriller 'A Perfect Getaway'. Themes include: The Works, The Simpsons, and Twisty-kinda-Mystery-type things.

WE’RE BACK!  Much like Season 1 started with Taken 1, Season 2 starts with Taken 2. It’s like poetry, it rhymes.  Themes include: Language Barriers, Driving Lessons, and Mind-Bending Riddles.

Ever wondered what gets left on the cutting room floor at Bootleg Turkey? Well, fret no more! New (Sort of) from Bootleg Turkey: Content that wasn't good enough to make it into an episode. We're too good to you.

Episode 4 covers the 1993 Sylvester Stallone sci-fi action romp 'Demolition Man'. Themes include: Dowsing Rods, Seashells, and Parachute Games. Apologies in advance for Joe's bad mood (and the audio quality, still).  

What better movie for our Christmas special than the 1988 action thriller 'Die Hard'? This is the first proper, slightly more polished episode, so thanks for sticking with us. It is not essential but watching the movie beforehand will improve the listening experience.

Episode 2 covers the 2009 John Cena action movie '12 Rounds'. We were still working things out in this one, but think it is still worth a listen. It is not essential but watching the movie beforehand will improve the listening experience. Feel free to skip to episode 3 if you want to start where we (sort of) got the hang of things.

Episode 1 covers the 2008 Liam Neeson classic 'Taken'. As this is our first one it is very much a rough cut but we felt it was worth releasing as it gives people an idea of how the concept has developed. It is not essential but watching the movie beforehand will improve the listening experience. Feel free to skip to episode 3 if you want to start where we (sort of) got the hang of things.
