Talk Until The Joy is Gone

Slip on your lycra jumpsuit and prepare to be rocket-pod launched straight into a dystopian 2017 as we talk about the self-aware sci-fi classic The Running Man. Since it's us, and staying on-topic is almost impossible for us, you can also hear Reggie frantically back-peddling on keeping women in cages, and then talking for ages about some dead lady. We indulge in a spot of mum-shaming, discuss pod...

A guest episode! We welcome long-time listener and Space Monkey Ash to our (temporarily relocated) studio today to discuss Kevin Smith's underappreciated gem, Zack and Miri Make a Porno ! We also discuss women in cages (again - seriously Reggie , this is getting weird), have a sex-based quiz), and wonder why Richi Crypt doesn't have a Wikipedia!

The boys got back to the wild frontier (or at least, a particular vision of that frontier) to talk about the Will Smith vehicle, Wild Wild West . Prior to that they manage to spend about 10 minutes talking about their underwear and Rooney's balls. Yeah. There's also a bunch of red-neck impressions, women in cages, and a list of animals to be eaten!

Rolling it back to the 80's, the boys watched the action movie classic First Blood , empathising with Rambo's police issues and hair do. They also chat Bigfoot (because of the woods in the film, and Bigfoot's habitat - get it?), Maddie McCann , #BeMoreRooney, remninisce about band drama, and Reggie's wavering line on what is an isn't acceptable to joke about! There's also a guest appearance from R...

The boys return once again to the Crusades as they dive into the Ridley Scott epic Kingdom of Heaven . Amidst the cries of "God wills it" (which is becoming Reggie's new excuse for just about everything), they also found time to address the abusively warm weather, having jeremy Irons on as a guest, guests with less celebrity status, the recent Euro cup final and fan fallout, and discussing whether...

In a call back to their earliest episode, the boys return to a TUTJIG favourite: Interview with the Vampire! This time having (re)read the novel! The un-ironically bemoan Louis' constant moaning, can't decide which of them is Louis and which is Lestat for more than about 2 minutes, and then manage what is possibly a world first - using the phrase "three knuckles deep" in reference to an authors wr...

This week the boys reaturn to the Pirates of the Caribbean universe as they talk about the second installment in the series; Dead Man's Chest. And the boys each form half of a perfectly balanced whole this week, as Rooneys enthusiasm is countered at every turn by Reggie's less-than-sunny opinion of the film! Also, because piracy and perversion go hand-in-hand in Reggie's world, he surprises Rooney...

When putting together an episode discussing the first of the proper modern comic book movies - Blade - what comes to mind for suitable supporting subjects? Representation in movies? The growth of the comic book movie empire? Or cult empire building? If you said anything other than the last one, you're wrong apparently, because Reggie decided that Jim Jones and the People's Temple would make for a...

The boys managed another TUTJIG first this week: they actually recorded the episode in the same room! Though they can't claim the glory for this one, since it only happened because Reggie 's laptop died, and they had no other way of getting it done (hence the change in audio - a problem Rooney promises will be rectified for next week!) After hasty studio set-up, they got stuck into some LadBible a...

The rumbing sound you hear is not the stampede of adoring fans rushing to show their appreciation for us (how many fans are needed for it to count as a stampede?), but this weeks episode, where we talk about the cult classic (and staple of 90's SciFi Channel broadcasting) Tremors ! We also went wildly off-topic with talk about Dwarves in barrels (thanks to Shadiversity ), lost DVD's, reminisces ab...

The boys got all medieval this week, as they hacked and slashed their way through the visceral Ironclad .  However, before they even made it to talk of the film, they had to unleash a barrage of random chat, which included trying to piece together memories of Rooney's birthday party the week before, discussing (translation: ranting about) recent Star Wars revelations from JJ Abrams , and bein...

Another month, another Book Club ! And this time the boys get Nordic via Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology , resulting in some high-grade weirdness (even by their standards). For instance Jar Jar Binks and Miss #NOFACE getting nasty, TUTJIG as the new hosts for Catfish UK , cave cannibals, TikTok through the lens of LadBible , and talk of commissioning their friend to draw Hel as a pinup in lingerie!...

For only £5 a month.... yeah, get used to hearing that phrase... Despite an almost total lack of preparation from the boys (which they take pains to explain), there's a lot going on in this episode. As well as the discussion of the Stephen Amell film Code 8 , they also get angry, preachy, and tell everyone how to make the world a better place!

Our first ever request episode! Reggie's brother asked us to cover a film he fondly remembers from his childhood (though probably not so fondly now), so, in spite of Reggie's OCD, we're covering the second Ewoks film, The Battle for Endor ! And obviously, we have a whole hour chatting about conspiracy theorists, plans to make Rooney a household name, David Icke, and offensive icer cream flavours.....

This week Rooney manages to trigger Reggie's obsessive compulsive tendecies by picking the second film in a trilogy to watch, without watching the first film ( Rooney : It's a prequel, so this is technically the correct order to watch it in! ), as they get archaeological with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ! And they start Year Two of the podcast in the most questionable way possible by maki...

Born of a simple throwaway joke weeks ago, TUTJIG... er... presents: Fuck Until The Joy Is Gone. A love letter to porno's through the years, and an excuse to rope-in some of the Space Monkeys and make them say weirdly sexual stuff. Enjoy.

Against all expectations (including those of the hosts), TUTJIG has survived for a whole year! Fifty-two episodes of swearing, innapriopriate jokes, offensive innuendo, and nonsense, without arrests or litigation! The boys take this chance to review the first twelve months, and talk about what's coming up in the next twelve, whilst alluding to the second part of the Year One celebration that is ye...

Heads-up folks, this is another Star Wars episode, so if listening to the boys yammer on about a galaxy far, far away is not your thing, you have been warned! The boys read Michael A. Stackpole's series-starting novel X-Wing: Rogue Squadron , and not only did they really enjoy it, but they (in particular Rooney ) has an awful lot to say about it. As the perfect pairing to an episode about spaceshi...

The boys roll it back to 1998 this week so they can get stuck into the cult classic teen thriller The Faculty , and its insanely good-looking cast!  obviously the perfect topical pairing for a smart-mouthed film about invading aliens is the pseudo-science of cryptozoology (and Rooney's love thereof), so Reggie reveals what he's learned about the subject and then play interviewer! They also ch...

Continuing the roll of covering some of Rooney's favourite things, this week the boys re-watched the Cameron Crowe coming of age saga Almost Famous , and got a little carried away watching it and kind of neglected to take many notes! But fear not! This is TUTJIG, so they still managed just over 3 hours, which included (for some reason) a brief introduction to the Heaven's Gate cult (we've given up...

Reggie decided they should check out the Studio Ghibli classic Howl's Moving Castle (despite him having never seen it), and then later regretted that decision. The boys debated who was creepier ( Turnip Head or Howl ?), whether things looked like penises on purpose, and why Sophie cleans out the fireplace after cleaning the rest of the room! They also came up with a risky marketing campaign, discu...

This week see's the boys put in another long one (nearly 3.5 hours !), despite Rooney being in danger of losing his voice! They covered the excellent V for Vendetta , and as if that wasn't enough, Reggie was tried to keep it all #SFW . It went about as well as expected... In addition, they talked about a lot of new episode ideas, Hollywood portrayals of British people, Rooney mocked Gammons and go...

For Book Club this month the boys decided to try something a little different, and read a comic book (sorry, graphic novel!). Reggie picked the seminal Batman comic The Long Halloween . It turns out they really struggle to write notes about a book that's mostly pictures... But of course, this wouldn't be TUTJIG if they didn't go wildily off piste! So they spent some time discussing video games ( V...

I know we've said this before, but this may be their most offensive episode yet - which is very odd, given that they watched the very sensible Enemy of the State ! Almost as if in some kind of strange sub-conscious backlash against the serious tone of the film, the boys come up with a TUTJIG spin-off nobody wants (Audiobooks with TUTJIG), discuss sex with aliens, virgin conception, Bitcoin and how...

This week Rooney drags Reggie into a journey through his childhood as they discuss the cult classic The Monster Squad . He then realises that there are some issues with this film, and wonders if they are the cause of his current fractured persona... The boys also discuss the asthetic qualities of the humble penis, Reggie gets angry about dick pics (which Rooney find hilarious), and they add a new...
