Edwin Sammon Of Knowledge

It's another episode of the podcast where, this week, Ed finally reviews the horny second half of Bridgerton and gives his two cents on the sequel to Wonder Woman which is set in 1984. Is this a clever reference to George Orwell? No. There's nothing clever about this movie. Ed also talks about a treasure trove of old Uncut magazines he has recently come into possession of and reads from a article...

It's another movie favourite from my childhood, a run through of Tim Burton's funny and scary and horny ghost with the most in the form of Michael Keaton's title character. But what's his real name? No, not Betelguese. Michael. Who could have been cast, what's a scat got to do with it? What's a BeetleMoose? Why is there a full run through of terrible talking horse comedy 'Hot To Trot', a movie wit...

Ed puts this classic action adventure filum to bed with soothing tones and calming factoids on the making of the movie. There are hot takes and some casting alternatives along with asides, lukewarm takes, bad impressions and some surprising and controversial left turns the movie could have made in its casting and production. And whether or not you could call Hitler "a nut" in 2021 or would you hav...

It's the end of the year and Ed hasn't much to review! One stand up gig and one new movie watched in the cinema since the pandemic started but he's joined by very special guest Sir Paul McCartney who chews the fat and does his impressions of the other Beatles. Ed also talks about new hip show Bridgerton. He also reviews the first Dad book he has received. Will it prepare him for impending fatherho...

It's a Christmas special edition of the podcast designed to help you drift off to sleep while listening to soothing facts and relaxing opinions on some of ed's favourite movie filums. This time its the often overlooked and barely spoken about Christmas holiday classic "Scrooged". How does it compare with other adaptations? What's some interesting facts about the making of it? What confused Ed as a...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year that's full of health and happiness and no more virus based nonsense! Ed sings lots of songs in this episode because it's the time of year when songs are sung. Some of these are his own short versions of holiday classics and some are songs from his upcoming album which may or may not be a real thing. There's a special cameo appearance from Cara and a very speci...

This week the year is coming to a close and Ed talks about his favourite shows he watched and eventually gets around to describing them correctly. He has a brief conversation with a midlands baby and a slightly longer one with the main Christmas man himself, Santa Claus. All this plus Ed defends Tom Cruise's on set rant and sings a made up Bruce Springsteen song.

Another episode to drift you off to sleep and also just if you like podcasts about movies. This time it's the 'is it a Christmas movie or not' classic, 'Die Hard'. With comforting facts and funny asides about the making of the movie and soothing tones throughout as Ed gives you the cold hard facts, made up facts, misremembered facts and lukewarm takes. Enjoy and sweet dreams. With thanks to Wikipe...

Merry celebration time everyone! This week Ed tries to get himself cancelled straight away as he has Bob Marley on the brain and it's proving problematic. Ed recounts his recent stint as a Zoom Santa Claus and the highs and lows that come with being seasonal gift man. There's also a silly news section where Ed gets to the truth about the dangers of what his Father Gerry has called "Mint Heart". Wh...

A new offshoot, occasional podcast about movies that also helps you go to sleep! Do you use podcasts to drift off to sleep at night and do you like soothing facts about movies with witty asides delivered in a midlands Irish accent? Well, this is for you! Every episode ad free so no noisy interruptions. The podcast is not sponsored by Wikipedia, I just availed of it for structure, which may evolve...

This week sees Ed almost but not quite get scammed and you have to listen to the end to find out how. There is also a brief discussion on the plausibility of vaccines being demon seed, if the Queen is a lizard or a human being and what bus shelters should be called but mostly the episode is a review of (and a warning to not to watch) the new show "the Undoing" with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. He...

This week Ed has a hot take on the Late Late Toy Show and recalls his first and only viewing party. He talks to his robot buddy BB-8 about whether the matrix is real or not and how he copes with being a corporate plaything. Ed also has been summoned for jury duty but he knows how to get out of it and recalls the last time he served. Plus, what new job has Ed landed that involves 19 other men? The...

While making the podcast at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, Ed was tired of just delivering monologues about his life and thoughts on the topics of the day no matter how cool, funny and interesting they were. He then had the idea of making a silly soap opera for the podcast and all he had was a title, "Love Notes". That alone made him laugh and armed with no plot, he started recording ten...

It's a bumper episode that sees the long awaited return of space set soap opera spectacular 'Space Notes' where new villain Francis Raygun threatens Tony with a class action space lawsuit. Ed also gives his two cents on the shock semi final exit of the Great British Bake Off and his tip for the winner. Also, what's going on with insomnia and bananas and why are Ed's dreams set in the seventies? Al...

Ed bemoans the lack of quality Irish accents in film and gives his best and worst culprits as the trailer for the new movie 'Wild Mountain Thyme' breaks the Irish internet. Ed asks, is it that bad? It probably is. There's a mini trailer for his own version which would probably be called 'Brendan and the American Potato Fancier' but it is unnamed. Ed also complains about his horrible neighbour driv...

This week Ed is in a freestyle rapping mood and is not in any way talking about the political election between two very old white men across the pond. Instead he is talking about the long list of scary movies he has yet to watch, which horror musical he watched recently, how a house swan and a street rat can get along and talks about the sad passing of occasional guest star of the podcast and tita...

This week Ed deals with the horror of having a dishwasher break down. Not only does he have to wash everything by hand he has to call for a repair in what ends up being a real horror show. Ed also has an exclusive interview with a vampire called Simon who may not be as ancient as he thinks and is also confused as to what podcast he is on.

Ed gets to the bottom of the conspiracy that absolutely no one is talking about and has amazing exclusive audio of Sir David Attenborough that may shock. Is any of it real? Probably not. But Ed is becoming his own cat and is wary of the folks out there who have a degree from the university of Google. All this plus some horrible German music, Ed talks about his old Santa job and Brendan Blowhard gi...

A spooky special as Ed explains the origins of Halloween but not before discussing the merits of The Karate Kid and it's similarities with a certain space saga. Ed keeps the swear jar empty for the duration of the episode but adult themes remain in a PG kind of way. There's also a run down of his top picks for Sunday afternoon television and why Antiques Roadshow is a perfect tonic for these mad t...

This week's episode is a James Bond special as Ed talks about the spy franchise and the ongoing delay of the latest installment "No Time To Die". Ed is not a fan of some of the previous Daniel Craig films in the series and gives his view on where the franchise should go next with the character. There's an exclusive interview with Sir Sean Connery, the original Bond and Brendan Blowhard sings a stu...

Ed talks about the nitpicks himself and his beloved had on a recent holiday getaway weekend that involved dongles and pods and some very confused hotel staff and Ed has a rambling chat with his Godson. Enjoy Sammon Skins!

This week's podcast comes from the beautiful countryside of Galway as Ed records in the office of long time listener of the show and all time brother of Ed, Julian. Ed talks us through his 100 per cent completion of Red Dead Redemption 2 and begins drinking his prep for his annual colonoscopy. There's some clips of his first stand up gig back after six months and a reading of Van Morrison's new pr...

This week Ed prepares for his first gig in six months and discusses the new lock-down in Dublin and whether or not sports are good for your mental well being, which may be true for some people but Ed has never really enjoyed them compared to pretending to be Conan The Barbarian. There is also a hot new take on the terrible movie Twilight. It may be twelve years old but that won't stop Ed from pick...

Ed gives some of the 'substantial' meals he's had during the recent pandemic a very poor review as this coming September 21st sees the reopening of the 'wet' pubs. Ed talks about why he thinks it's a good thing ultimately but not for the reasons you think, there's a strange re-imaging of Star Wars and the brand new soap opera "Space Notes" makes its stunning debut as 'glut' is the word of the week...
