Reel Politik Podcast

Jack interviews Ilford South investigative journalist Jimothy Baker (@JimothyBaker) to get a sense of the situation on the ground in the key battleground seat of Ilford South.

The great comedian Josie Long returns to the show for the first time since the last good & fun General Election to talk about a particularly febrile week in politics and our collective obstinate refusal to stop being socialists.

In their first recording as a duo since deading their staged beef to focus on election coverage, Jack and Geraint once again DECLARE WAR on British light entertainment comedy, training their fire on BLAIRITE STOATS Messrs Iannucci, Cleese, Richardson, Forde & Manners.

Farages Fucked Face @soldierpaypig returns to the show for our worst election coverage yet. TV debates ("Starmer dropped the ball"). Scurrilous gutter press gossip.

In light of news that Labour plan to put shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves at the centre of their general election campaign, we are re-releasing this choice half-hour from an episode last year (RP271: Shoe Factory), in which we conclude a run-through Keir Starmer's then-new ultra-Blairite shadow cabinet with nods to key Reeves allies Pat McFadden and sister Ellie Reeves, before reading a truly weird...

In a shock intervention in the 2024 UK general election, Jack (@FrayneJack34043) and Geraint (@wariotifo) are joined by Reel Politik herself, Juliet Jacques (@ZinovievLetter) to call for the resignation of Sir Keir Starmer as Leader of the Labour Party.

Another major figure from RP history, Sinan Kose (twitch.com/SKTheCrusader) joins Jack, Yair and Geraint to talk all things UK general election.

Rice's knowledge of the arcane and British is put...

What, you ask, differentiates this iteration of this episode (NOTE: listed as canonical episode rather than "RP Extra" as resolves cliffhanger from end of episode 289) from the version on patreon.com/reelpolitik? Well, while this version stops around the half hour mark, that one continues for roughly another 40 minutes! Main topic of discussion: Vile war criminal Antony Blinken performs Neil Young...

Luke Akehurst, the professional apartheid/genocide lobbyist director of "We Believe In Israel" and influential Labour right functionary, is likely to be handpicked by Keir Starmer's dictatorial leadership to run as MP in a very safe seat in the current UK election. In this extract from a much longer episode from 2018, we go through the mad ideological correctness test off his blog, which he appare...

RP Corp founder Jack Frayne-Reid and post-2019 junior partner G. Wariotifo bicker for an hour or so about the commercial and creative direction of the show, culminating in the return of classic RP segment "Cop or Comrade", a Nick Cave impressions competition, and the shock departure of half the once-iconic duo.

In this clip from our new Patreon bonus episode, Will Sloan explains who David Zaslav is, and why Keir Starmer would see him as a kindred spirit. ALSO IN EP: John Cleese (duh). Bill Maher. Owen Jones leaving Labour. Starmer comparing Stormzy to "Velvet Underground" (no "the".) SUBSCRIBE @ PATREON.COM/REELPOLITIK TO HEAR THE FULL BONUS EP & MANY MORE BESIDES

Jack and Geraint (@wariotifo) present extremely timely post-match analysis of the "funny" Rochdale by-election. But first, Geraint flies to Mar-a-Lago, Florida to interview somebody professing to be Beach Boys legend Mike Love.

Jack and Yair break down shocking new "smoking gun" evidence that has come to light suggesting Keir Starmer is agent of CIA. Then the rest of the episode is basically about another knight of the realm, Sir Paul McCartney, his various arrests for weed, and he and John Lennon's flirtations with radical politics in the early 1970s.

More than 200 innocent people lost their lives at Ilford South's infamous "GAPEFEST" music festival, which has been dogged by allegations of widespread financial corruption, endemic drug abuse, animal cruelty, human branding and vampirism.

Journalist Paul Waugh's unsuccessful attempt to get selected by the party as a parliamentary candidate, and Laurence Fox's travails in the courts. Jack's turn-up music, and the secret life of bees. The latest video from Women4Wes. Then, in the...

Following their discussion of the Chabad tunnel controversy, Jack tells Yair all about the vast multitudes of virtually interchangeable Netflix original thriller series based on the work of author Harlan Coben.

NOTE: This episode was originally released in October 2020 on patreon.com/reelpolitik, but we've decided to release it for free in light of Norman Jewison's death. We'd already made the first in this two-parter available for free on this very feed here: https://soundcloud.com/reelpolitikpodcast/unlocked-episode-168-jewison-the-mighty-fist-of-liberalism-pt-1.

Yair tells Jack about his decision to burn his Israeli passport, before the two seek to get to the bottom of the very funny Chabad tunnel scandal, and the organisation's extensive links to Bob Dylan and Yair's grandad.
