Corriedale is officially out in the world. Jack leads the deep dive into the new episode and discusses the plot, how it came about, the filming, and what it means for the future of the soaps. Colson hosts the first movie quiz of 2026 and tests the lads on their film and TV knowledge in a somewhat smug manner.

🩸 Jack’s been to the Corrie Christmas do and what morsels does he have to throw to the hungry gossip seagulls? In all honesty, not very much. What do we make of the final Stranger Things series? The boys do their power poses, what would their songs to snap out of a coma be, and do the actors all look a bit bored by this stage? www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extra episode...

🤬 Ben’s been doing a lot of big film watching so that he’s ready for his BAFTA voting, so expect a film of the year level review.  And what’s so significant about this proposed Netflix takeover of Warner Bros?

Big news! Bounties have left Celebrations! Stop the clocks.

Plus, can we get hedges onto primetime TV? www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extra episode every single week, and it's big at the moment as we tell the story of Buster Fer...

⛷️ Ben runs the rule over the new Emma Thompson thriller and Jack’s been watching a horror film which is entirely from the point of view of a dog.  Arguably of greater note we have a Trick of the Trade which delves into Colson's Spotlight bio.  www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extra episode every single week, and it's big at the moment as we tell the story of Bust...

🍜 Back Again Again! Busy one this one as Jack’s got a bruise and there’s some on-location secrets revealed. The boys are worried that Wagamamas will stop their offers because they’ve been rinsing it so much. Plus they reveal the weirdest fan gifts… and it’s Jack that’s coming out on top. And what would their albums be called?  Finally Jack claims that the weekend is three days long. Who does...

Colson’s been to see what’s potentially the biggest Hollywood release of the year - Wicked: For Good - but does this one defy gravity and will it be as popular as the last?  For the love of all that is prairie, will this be the final time that Jack talks about the Yellowstone cinematic universe? And on the topic of the West there’s a new sheriff in town in the form of Billy Bob Thornton? Plus...

🥸 Big p-ews coming out of York today and Ben’s experienced a real dinner party gamechanger. Also someone at Corrie has bumped Jack’s car. But who? And how would you pass the pod when at Niagara Falls?  And on top of all that we get another excellent dispatch from our man in New York and Jacky P receives a TV review ban.  www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extr...

Buster Ferrybridge is a name which has been thrown around a fair bit lately. And with good reason. One of the biggest adult entertainers the UK has ever seen. Arguably Yorkshire's most significant cultural export. He has passed into legend. But what is that legend? Well, over on Patreon (www.patreon.com/onthesofa) we're exploring what his life has been like - scandals and all. Episode 1 - A Boy Ca...

🐦 Jack’s been filming the Corrie-Emmerdale quiz and he’s fascinated by Mulhern’s world of Deal Or No Deal.  Plus, there’s a Top 5 which Colson has a bizarre amount of expertise on - a category in which everything is in fact the same. And there's also time to discover the secrets of the work animal handler. “It’s dogger mum!” www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extra epis...

🍑 Colson's back from his hols, and we greet his return with a very important question: what could the boys put up their bums? But pure smut is not what we do on the podcast, because it's smut mixed with other chats of a cleaner variety. In less bum-based discussions strangers are paying Colson’s bill, I’m A Celeb is back and Ben reveals that he nearly became the lead on a massive American sitcom!...

🧟‍♂️ Guillermo del Toro’s new Frankenstein is out now but what did Jack and Ben make of the Mexican’s take on a horror classic? But for all of the money spent on prosthetics and make up, is Jacob Elordi simply too good looking as such an icon?  Also in Commission Impossible Ben builds a pitch to the TV execs.  www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extra episode every...

🐕 While Colson’s away the boys will play - and read through Colson’s script very slowly. Jack’s done what every husband dreams of doing by going to Chatsworth House. We also go behind the scenes of the Corrie Star Tours and find out what their favourite kids films are. Plus there’s a couple of belting emails about being on-set with Springsteen and we again ask “who is our biggest big dog lis...

🍯 Colson’s been running around with three legs but what would Jack and Ben’s Children In Need challenge be? And the boys analyse Colsonisms. Is there any underlying theory behind them? Does he think them up in advance?  Plus, Jack spills the beans on a very specific acting Trick of The Trade and Ben does a driving test. www.patreon.com/onthesofa for everything AD FREE plus an extra epis...
