Reel Politik Podcast

A preview of our last two Patreon episodes, featuring Jack, Yair and Geraint discussing America's #1 song 'Try That In A Small Town', and Jack and FFF bitching about who they hate on the left. The RP Extra drawn from the Louis Theroux episode fronted by our core trio can be found here - https://www.patreon.com/posts/rp268-extra-87945901 - while the near-hour of additional FFF material can be found...

Jack, Yair and Geraint review Louis Theroux's three-part BBC documentary series, "Forbidden America", which aired in February 2022 and covers the US far-right, trap and soundcloud rap, and the porn industry. Inevitably, we end up comparing these recent films to our more "gonzo" favourites from the Theroux back catalogue.

In what can be construed as either another misguided attempt to break the American market, or an attempt to explain the peculiarities of American culture to our UK audience, Jack spends almost an hour reading the names of episodes of hit liberal podcast Pod Save America to an increasingly agitated FFF. NOTE: It took a lot of work to make FFF semi-intelligible on this one. Not only was his side of...

It pretty much came to an hour and chan...

Friend of the show Jude Wanga (@judeinlondon) joins Jack to review the Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band show they saw at Hyde Park last month. Jack also talks a bit about his own grand return to live musical performance at his friend's wedding.

We are hoping to get a corresponding one of these little Extra episodes out for every main episode we release. Of our recent episodes, only the wrestling and Lulu ones have failed to yield one, in great part because those eps were so fucking long to begin with. Enclosed here are previews of RP264 Extra - a Jack/Geraint convo that can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/rp264-extra-8665849...

in a reversal of standard RP procedure, an impassioned Yair goes in two-footed on the new season of Black Mirror while a largely indifferent Jack is just happy to be there.

Following a misguided attempt to crack the American market, Jack and Geraint desperately try and cling onto their remaining UK fans with a tight hour of Blairite-bashing and Starmer-slagging.

The original tenth GAPECAST from 2020, newly reedited and de-Memento-fied so the scenes take place in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER and the narrative MAKES SENSE! In GAPECAST #10, we rewind to December 2019, in the aftermath of the corrupt rigged election that replaced Gapes as Ilford South MP with Corbyn's Candidate, Sam Tarry. Written once again by seasoned Ilford hack Jimothy Baker (currently scribbling...

just the sketch stuff from the start of the latest ep

after our signals are hijacked by Ilford South sonic terrorists for a few minutes, the boys get down to business as Jack surprises Yair by announcing a plan for RP to break the American market once and for all on the back of a Yair Rice 2024 presidential run. PLUS social media bullshit! Corbyn is popular! three actual pre-written sketches!

Jack and a complicit Geraint bully special guest/metal brother Sinan Kose into admitting Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica is a masterpiece in an in-depth conversation containing so much truth and facts that we've had it shelved since January 2nd Check out Sinan's stuff @ https://www.twitch.tv/skthecrusader and https://twitter.com/TheSinanKose and subscribe to our newly reactivated RP Patreon @ patre...

the RP "Back On Top" campaign continues with the spectacular return of our Patreon, today featuring two brand new 30-45 minute collections of unused material from our last two recording sections. in this preview, you can hear special guest Juliet Jacques talk about Michael Heseltine on RP261 Extra, and Geraint tell Jack and FFF about noted traitor Paul Mason's brief spell moonlighting as a games j...

Frequent RP guest Juliet Jacques returns to the show to expand on her 2020 Red Pepper article 'How Corbyn unmasked comedy' (https://www.redpepper.org.uk/how-corbyn-unmasked-comedy/) in a discussion of the generation of British comedians and satirists who emerged in the 1990s from under the wing of two titans, Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci, following their mock news show On The Hour's successfu...

Jack Frayne-Reid joins longtime friend of the show Sinan Kose on his Twitch stream (https://www.twitch.tv/skthecrusader) to discuss recent news stories involving Roger Waters and Jamie Driscoll. Recorded 9th June 2023.

with FFF subbing for a holidaying Yair, the boys get into the current efforts by Starmer Labour and their fellow travellers to cancel a rich rock star like they did Corbyn, for touring an antifascist rock opera for 40 years. PLUS: Michael "White Mike" "Milk" Rapaport, the New Statesman's 2023 Left Power List, Bohemian Grove, and a litany of highly objectionable impressions (all by Jack)

Geraint and Jack, respectively expert and novice, take a step back from the frontline of politics and recruit dialectical wrestling podcaster @PuroPodcast (+ auxiliary host FFF) to explore the world of pro wrestling, with 3hrs on the 2004 Royal Rumble.

After spending Too Long In Exile, we are now BACK ON TOP. Following a brief film chat, Jack, Yair, Geraint and FFF dive straight into this political world with discussion of the latest lies of #SirSmearStarmer and his goon James O'Brien, Woke Elon's latest attempt to silence Jack for his right-wing views, the anti-democratic (Starmer was there) coronation, and - most importantly of all - Mike Gape...

Jack, Yair and Geraint are back from another period in the wilderness to spit some real hard left politics, both on the ongoing Starmer situation and in our new, wholly unique segment "America Corner". We also go in on the bizarre convergence of the left-wing Socialist Campaign Group and the not-left-wing Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, and - in spite of the rockin' artwork and Van Morrison-ins...

Jack and Yair kick off an exciting series of RP2023 with a detailed dissection of the British TV dramas Life On Mars (2006-7) and its spinoff/sequel series Ashes To Ashes (2008-10), and their iconic "Clarkson but it's ok because he's not real" antihero Gene Hunt. We talk about how the shows contrast the rough and rowdy days of the '70s and '80s with the sort of radical leftist woke culture of the...

GapeCast empresario FFF returns to the show to talk about a range of now-outdated news stories with Jack and Geraint, including: Sunak's Gary Glitter fandom, the death of Jerry Lee Lewis, the existence of Mike Gapes and "Ye" on Drink Champs.

Yair, Jack and Geraint pay tribute to classic improvisational TV comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO, 1999-present) and its creator/star Larry David's knack for acute social observation.

In the first of what should be at least three new episodes this week, here's a low-key "choppin' it up" ep in which Jack and Yair talk Dune(s), Lou Reed's 2000 album Ecstasy, and books by Bob Dylan and Lester Bangs.

After getting the lowdown from Ilford South investigative journalist Jimothy Baker on the reaction in Ilford South to the death of the queen, Jack, Geraint, and special guest Farages Fucked Face were all queened out and wanted to talk about pretty much anything else than the topic at hand. Instead: the 1996 Prince's Trust benefit concert at Hyde Park, the evolution, or devolution, of Ringo Starr's...
