So, What‘s the Problem?

Leonard Nimoy is back, people!!!! Things are explained, villains are disposed of and Walter almost gets some! And it's only episode 4! Tangents include streaming services, the Body Snatchers movies and Munity on the Buses. Also, listen out for our subtle new way of hiding spoilers. Contains strong language and adult humour some may find in poor taste.

It's the first episode of Animation month! Jen has picked this classic tale that was the first animated movie to be nominated for best picture. Oliver & Company was snubbed! They talk about Disney movies of the 90s (and 80s),Stockholm Syndrome and ponder just how this curse works. Next week, a non traditionally animated movie. Contains strong language.

We have returned and it's a good episode, hurrah! Jimmy and Martin talk about many things including the ongoing debate regarding the length of Fringe's seasons, Scottish TV show Scotch & Wry and Jimmy's inability to picture people naked. Contains strong language and adult humour.

As a special bonus episode born out of busyness, Jimmy and Martin have an off-the-cuff, unedited chat about the future of Doctor Who given the news of the upcoming departure of Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall. This came out of a recording of Fringe Division and Jimmy is going to be out of town, so couldn't edit an episode on time, so we're releasing this. Contains strong language and...

It's Jimmy's pick and it's one he used to watch on VHS a lot. Is it any good? Did Jen watch it for the first time or had she seen it and forgot? Like she had forgotten a certain movie we have covered on the podcast already? Tangents include spoiler-free talk about the movie Freaky.  In two weeks, start of Animated Movie Month on So, What's the Problem? Find out what is first at the end of this epi...

An 80s movie not picked by Jimmy? I mean... what???? This curio from Disney often gets misidentified as a sequel to The Wizard of Oz (1939) but it's actually an adaptation of a couple of the books that were sequels to the novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). Got that? Good. This week, Jimmy struggles with his feelings about the movie and Jen faces a childhood trauma. Contains strong language.

It's a childhood favourite of Jimmy's again and one that Jen had never seen until the day of recording. So, strap in, folks, hot takes abound including one about the original Ghostbusters movie and our two hosts disagreeing about a character. Or two. Listen to the end to hear what movie is next. Contains strong language.

Episode two of season two and we say goodbye to a new character... wait, what? We get into ever so slight spoilers but only about whether a future Duchess comes back or not but we felt as though we had to. Also, the usual references to Buffy and Star Trek but oddly not the X-Files, which this episode of Fringe is clearly reminiscent of. We're just idiots. Contains strong language.  Theme- Premonit...

It's a dark comedy teen movie from the 90s time, so guess who picked this? Jimmy and Jen talk about the cast, Jen's love for a certain actress (or two) and Jimmy gets educated on something. Stay tuned until the end to hear what movie Jimmy has picked for next week. And yes, it's from the 1980s. Contains strong language and adult themes in the context of satire.

We're back with Fringe season 2, baby!!! Sure, we're a month late but illness is a bitch. We say goodbye to one character and hello to a new one played by a future Duchess. We also tangent about a friend's obsession with a particular Royal while Jimmy apparently has an obsession with a British boyband from the 1980s. And Martin namedrops Star Trek. We really are back!

In a change to our scheduled episode, Harry and the Hendersons because Jimmy's side of the audio was borked, we have this. Is it an easy target? Sure, but maybe one of us won't actually pick the obvious. Jimmy has a cold so is sucking lozenges while Jen changes her mind on a character during the duration of the podcast. Contains strong language.

Sigh, it's one of those episodes, folks. The hosts just don't agree on this movie being any good. Also, Jimmy reads some feedback, send us some, won't you? Email us- contact@shiftybench.co.uk and tell us what you think of this movie or any others we've covered. Contains strong language

It's the first episode of year 2 of So, What's the Problem? and Jimmy has picked this early 80s "classic". He loved it as a kid, does it hold up? Like, at all? This may be the episode in which Jen falls out with Jimmy over his choices. She'll get her revenge next week as she's picked a movie Jimmy hates. They also chat about Top Gun and one of Walter Hill's more recent movies that has a bizarre pr...
