Talk Until The Joy is Gone

This week, we took a look at the under-appreciated post-apocalyptic tale of faith, The Book of Eli , and mostly kept the conversation civil! Aside from talking about the bleak, but (almost) bible-free wasteland of the future, we also took the time to finalise out own TUTJIG Rules for a Post-Apocalyptic Society, Boy Scouts, creepy teachers, The Subways, a very dry look back at 1991, backwards count...

No, not that Serenity, the pilot episode of the TV series, which was also (confusingly) named Serenity! Yes, we're back on a Firefly kick this week, looking at the episode that simultaneously started it all, and also nearly stopped it happening completely, the pilot! But aside from us gushing about our favourite TV show, we also manage to share some words on subjects such as: Rooney is tired ... b...

Our monthly round-up starts with welcoming a recurring guest who seems to have somehow secured himself a regular slot; Mr Vanilla! As we chat nonsense, we also work our way through some of the choicest cuts pf news articles from across the web, and we cover such diverse subjects as: Reggie getting lost Fan heaters being noisy A return of the "Would you rather?" quiz Aimee sending us an envelope #F...

In an attempt to save Reggie's blushes, we left the anime behind this week and resumed our quest through the MCU, with Thor: The Dark World, and realised we both actually enjoyed this film a lot more than we remembered! We also squeezed in: SMUT! Seriously, skip the first hour if you're just here for Thor... Some new promo ideas Reggie talks, and indeed gushes, about The Beatles. A Beatles music q...

We venture back in the the Stuio Ghibli archive this week for one of anime's most treasured films; My Neighbor Totoro . Studio Ghibli fans may want to turn back now, because as it turns out, Reggie has serious issues with this film... We also discuss: Traffic! Sorted Food The Andrew Tate fiasco Our memories of 1990 How Reggie is all about the anticipation...

We continue our tradition of starting the New Year by discussing a whole series, because we are clearly insane. We took a very earnest look at the Star Wars spin-off, Obi-wan Kenobi. And to aid us in our madness, we brought back a guest, the inestimable Ash, to join us as we start 2023 in our own questionable way! And then we got to talking about: clothes, selling scooters, starting a biker gang,...

Brace yourselves, because it's finally here! We rented a hall, gathered the Cultists together, let one of them organise a quiz, and attempted to make podcast episode out of it. These are the results (if you listen carefully, you can hear the moment Reggie stops trying to run it like a regular episode and gives in to the madness!). We have cracker jokes, some news stories about lie detectors and Sa...

We get into a stone-cold Christmas classic this week, with Charles Dickens' seminal festive story: A Christmas Carol. We were also both exhausted (we'd recorded the 2022 TUTJIG Christmas Special the night before), but we certainly tried our best! We also dropped a tonne of teasers for next week's special, talked the London ULEZ (?!?!), gave lots of quotes, got made to look really stupid when we cl...

Let us start this blurb with an apology: we messed-up the audio, so Reggie sounds like he's in another room (which may or may not be a bad thing). We will do better! That aside, we watched Iron Man 3 this week as part of our continuing trek into the MCU, and discussed it's highs, it's lows, and the bits in-between! We also acknowledge Reggie's birthday, talk about the upcoming Christmas Special "A...

This week we get back into some dark stuff after two weeks of fluffiness and light, with the Ripper-inspired From Hell . Alongside grim Victorian murder and conspiracies, we also find the time to veer wildly off into talking tangents on such diverse sibjects as: The TUTJIG Twitch channel Our first guest booking of 2023 Questionable clothing The Shropshire Man-Monkey Rooney being a #Glasshole UK Cr...

Our monthly catch-up with the weirdness of the internet is here again, and fair warning; this time we're both really tired, and falling back on our tried and trusted method of just making smutty jokes. We also as Daddy Bezos for a million pound investment, talk about "too much" porn, hooker ghosts, audio-infused foods, festive lube, and time-travelling Greta Thunberg!

In an attempt to lighten the mood after last week's episode, we watched - and I can't quite believe I'm writing this - Bedknobs and Broomsticks ! But before  - and indeed alongside - all that classic Disney silliness, we also talked about where Rooney draws the line, drunk Reggie, a rubbish "news" article, Elon Musk, Knight Templars, a re-incarnated Nostrodamus, and some more Nazi-bashing!

For this week's episode we leapt back to the 00's, to the suprprisingly dark thriller, The Butterfly Effect . In an attempt to lighten the mood (seriously, dark film), we also chatted about drunken walks home, how Rooney is still not a Twitch affiliate, Lions on the loose, masturbatory abstinance, Inuit's, and Pornhub 's local favourites!

We finally emerge from the shadows of Spooky Month, and dive straight into one of the biggest cinematic events in the last decade: The Avenger's (or Avengers Assemble for us in the UK). But before we put on our super-suits, we meander our way through some ecclectic topics, such as: Tea! The Essex Ghostbusters Annoying surprise softcore porn on Instagram Sexy astral projection Marrying your ghostly...

For our Halloween Special this year, we revisited the very first film we ever covered on this podcast, way back in Episode 1 : Interview with the Vampire . But before we get into our love for foppish, sensual vampires with amazing hair, we rant and rave about the state of UK politics, Rooney really gets behind #EatTheRich, and we consider running for government. We also wonder if vampires are just...

A Halloween book club episode this week, and we lost ourselves in the brilliant Anno Dracula , by Kim Newman. But before we started gushingly declaring our love for Genevieve Dieudonné and this book, we discussed Reggie as a proponent of avant garde punk music (and him being a germbag), Andrew Tasselmyer, people who live as real life vampires, cosplay and crossplay, and Rooney got angry over the l...

For the second installment of vampire month, we had to go back into the 80's, for the childhood classic The Lost Boys , to see just how well it had aged... Along the way we discussed US President Biden being pro-weed, the pitfalls of getting old, 17th century vampire lore, King Charles III being a secret vampire, Rooney being head of a new Republic of Britain, #Treason, vampires in mythology, and...

TUTJIG sucks! That's right, it's Spooky Month, and we're all about the blood-suckers, as we delve into vampires, starting this week with the Rodriguez/Tarantino horror, From Dusk Till Dawn ! We also indulge in some Tory bashing, do some catching up on what we've been up to, Rooney talks excitedly and bewilderingly about World of Warcraft, and we talk about TV shows. We also send an open invite to...

This week we look at the state of the world (or at least, the bits we thought were funny), with September's slice of TUTJIGIA Today! On the list this time we have: #SmokeMirrorsandPenisJokes Rooney moaning about stuff The Sidemen charity football match Reggie outing himself to his colleagues as a pervert. Us mocking PETA Us mocking the Catholic Church Lord of the Rings vs Russia Nessie! And becaus...

We return once again to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be introduced to the man with the shield in Captain America: The First Avenger. We also talk #Mournhub, Rooney moaning like an old man, throwing everyone from our past under the bus, a whole lot of waffling, conspiracy theories, a GMM shoutout, and so very much questionable content (and we don't mean the webcomic)!

For episode 122 we had a little nostalgia fest and chatted the 80's adventure classic Raiders of the Lost Ark ! But before we put on our sepia-toned glasses, we took some time to catch-up with Uri Geller (this time hanging with John Lennon!), Rooney found a sound-effects box, we checked-in with Nippy Nigel (Yurii Tolotchko), .announce a new Instagram campaign that we may well live to regret, and d...

Brace yourselves people, because things are about to get earnest ! We revisit our Book Club series and talk about the book that inspired both The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi (probably): Star Wars: Kenobi . It's the perfect storm of Star Wars and a book, which means this episode is almost safe for work and sensible (for a given value of sensible). Aside form all that earnestness, we a...

This week Rooney forced Reggie to be all Otaku and watch another anime film - this time, the slice-of-life gamer fest, Summer Wars . But before that, we had to endure another Would You Rather, this time with the TUTJIG Minister for Filth and Fromage Rachel! Be warned folks, it's a real eye-opener... There was also talk of cryptids, Reggie struggling with names, cultural differences, and Rooney srt...

Continuing our march through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this week we watched the introduction of the Norse gods to the MCU; Thor ! We also branch out like the boughs of the Word Tree into subjects as diverse as: #BurnTheRich Conspiracy theories that were actually true Numerous subjexts that Rooney can talk about Seriously, Rooney talks a lot . Abusing America The realities of porn Cryptid erot...

We're back with our monthly delves into the profane, paranormal, and down-right bizarre news from around TUTJIGIA (aka, The Known Universe )! This month - after we get through moaning that it's been rather warm - we played a game of Would You Rathe r with long-time listener/Cultist/ginger person Will , and learn more about him than is probably healthy. Then we catch-up with famous spoonbender Uri...
