The Black Dog Podcast

Welcome to 2024 - A new year and a new episode of your favourite podcast after all the others you listen to first.  This week we all look back over our christmas break, Jim joins Darren in the cult of the Air  Fryer much to Lee and Eltons dismay. But Jim does redeem himself with "Piggys In Blankets in Holes" er... yeah... Probably best not to google that. He also watches some weird chrismas films...

This week Elton tries not to spend money and watches Scavengers Reign, Darren physically assaults a sofa and tries to bury in a garden, while Lee quietly seeths about something (see if you can tell what it is) and loses a dog down the side of a shed. Plus we wonder what Joe Pesci meditation audio books would sound like.. Then after some Robot Cop feedback, we move on to this weeks movie... Or is i...

The wheels are off... THE WHEELS ARE OFF! GROAN! As Lee goes on a Dad Joke marathon... Or is it Snickers now? THRILL! As Elton tells us about his toilet fixing and doesn't explode. GASP! As Darren enthuses about an Air fryer SCREAM! As Lee tries to digest a Ginsters "Sausage" roll. YAWN! As we try and review the tedious remake of Robocop SNORE! As we try and discuss it without mentioning the far s...

What can I say, this is a long episode with a lot to process... From great hopeful health news for Jim, to tap drama for Elton, Darren being excited by an air fryer and Lee getting savaged (and possibly super powers) from a rabid squirrel.  Add to that interesting feedback for last weeks episode and then its on to this weeks movie which is either a parable about greed, class, selfishness and socia...

This week Jim feels grotty but still manages to go to the theatre with Bennedict Cumberbach and Johnny Lee Mirror, Elton has problems with his water works and gets a very odd request from a lady in a car park. Darren has a danger filled trip on a train to attend a talk about fantasy genre as well as watching Roald Dahl adaptations on Netflix and finally Lee completes Spider-Man 2 on the PS5 and wa...

This week Jim watches a Haunting in Venice, Eltons week is [404 FILE NOT FOUND], Darren watches Culprits and the latest movie from the MCU, Marvels. While Lee sighs heavily at Loki and David Finchers latest The Killer, as well as Tom Cruises latest attempt to give Hollywood insurance men a heart attack with his antics in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1. Then after a bit of feedback its on...

This week Elton tries valiantly to tell us about his car battery. Jim watches Suitable Flesh, and When Evil Lurks. Darren goes for a bath and is asked to "Judge our fudge!" and Lee tries to get a car air blower working and ends up with almost having a viking funeral. Then after a shared trauma of feedback for our somewhat crazed Alone In The Dark commentary club cross over and a surprising retweet...

Hey everyone and welcome to Halloween... Welp! We did it! We did four horror films over October and released this episode on Halloween itself! Wow! How do we celebrate? By combining Blackdog chaos with Jim and Teresa doing a Commentary club on Uwe Bolls "masterpiece" Alone In The Dark, which is currently available on Amazon Prime. It is a watch along episode as all of us descend in to drunken madn...

I just can't even begin to describe how the wheels come off.... I'm pretty sure they were never attached and were probably on fire in the first place... So enjoy some green room pre show nonsense, some "hows your week" featuring Old Gods, Bodies, Loki, leaky conservatories, Polish Dub, Spanish Dub, Pirate versions of Craig David songs, Netflix streaming hatred, organ music and a general cock up ca...

The wheels are off the car before they even start the engine today... Welcome to this weeks episode of The Black Dog Podcast, where we discuss such diverse subjects as Roblox, old age health screening programs, subscriptions, ticket prices, dogging, ad revenue, microtransations, The Fall of the House of Usher and pouring boiling tea on to ones nether regions... Then after some feedback and an abso...

This week has a problem with his pipes, Elton gets in to the exciting world of farming on his playstation, Darren watches Gen V, while Lee tries (and fails) exercise, reviews The Creator and discovers that a man of religion is trying to run him over. Also the wheels come off in spectacular fashion as Darren and Elton face eachother down on the M6 motorway and potentially take the podcast in a very...

This week Jim gets into Brand New Cherry Flavour (not what you think) and a gets used as a pin cushion. Elton, gets a new roof and spends almost as much on complementary sandwiches, Darren asks Who is Erin Carter and Lee checks in at The Continental... Plus there is some feedback and somewhere along the line the ghost of Paul Shane joins us along with Bez from the Happy Monday communicating deep c...

This week Elton goes up the Post Office tower and rants at passwords and the ULEZ scheme, Darren goes on a murderous rampage in Starfield because the game wants him to play it, while Lee goes cold water swimming and has an unfortunate email interaction. Then after some feedback for Last Night In Soho, the guys set about reviewing Dashcam (2021) which is not to be confused with Dashcam (2021) and i...

This week Jim is back from a break, Darren is off touring the galaxy in the game Starfield and Lee celebrates a 25th wedding anniversary with food and alcohol decadence... Elton on the other hand is off this week because the double whammy of Space Mutiny and Indiana Jones 5 broke his mind.  After some feedback (mainly giving Indy a kickin') we move on to this weeks film. The Edgar Wright supernatu...

Welcome back to this weeks episode of The Blackdog Podcast. This week Jim is away. So Lee tries to fill the void with extra dose of poorly delivered dad jokes before we move on to everyones week, including Eltons shock that there is a national cinema day and Darren falling into a hell of generic superhero cliches watching Blue Beetle, followed by Jurassic Park. Lee on the other hand, climbs Elizab...

Welcome back... After a while away we return with Jim having a rough couple of weeks, Elton discussing The Bear, Darren & Lee catch up with Babylon 5 The Road Home, The Flash, Barbie and for his sins Lee also gets taken to see The Meg 2 and learns about the crush resistance of a deviated septum.  Then after some hastily cobbled together jingles (thanks fruit based megacorp for the obligatory third...

This week, the jingles all get shot down 1 hour after we finished recording so I'm plenty happy about that... Thanks hosting service and fruit based asshats... Anyway this week Jim joins a cult, Elton gets excited about USB car chargers (again), Darren screws up comedy and Lee replaces a fan in his car, then a resistor and then.... Well... Car repair is more of an art than a science... Then after...

Welcome back... This week the guys are refreshed from a fortnight off to tell you tales of exploding shower curtains, USB's in supposedly "classic cars", George Formby joining NWA, Steam nicking your money, self driving cars trying to kill you on a Scottish cliff edge, speedboats that go so fast they blow your lips over the back of your head and a London bus tour guide who clearly had other things...

This week Jim comes back from his holiday refreshed enough to throw an Old Man Shouts At Cloud grenade, which bleeds into Eltons week with Glastonbury and becomes pure chaos with various Axl Rose and Slash impressions. Lee also goes to a comedy club and gets frustrated with the game Aliens: Dark Descent. Then after a parish notice about Facebook group spam filters its on to this weeks film.  Amy A...

This week Jim is away and its clear without his guiding steady hand the wheels come off quite quickly... Elton recounts his joy at repairing exploded windows, Darren catches up with the 21st century watching Killing Eve and Lee goes full action mode watching Arnies new tv show FUBAR and Chris Hemsworth killing everything breathing with everything not nailed down in Extraction 2. Then after a bit o...

This week Jim gets out in the world with dinner and alotments, Darren goes to a comedy night and Lee... Well he watches Guy Richies latest film The Covenant, "enjoys" at vast length his new experience on Pandora with Avatar 2: The Way of the Water and then goes a bit too method with his review of this weeks movie.. Ben Wheatleys folk horror, In The Earth

Darren continues doom modding, while Lee takes some australian relatives around town and makes a terrible mistake returning to an old haunt.  After that we tentatively launch a varient to How's your week which for the moment is calle...

This week the wheels barely get attached before they come off in spectacular style as Jim causes some confusion over "lawn sausage", Elton gets a bucket of Bulls Milk, Darren listens to a serial killers policies and proceedures document and Lee has existential angst over AI which is quickly over ridden by a desire to have the earth swallow him whole as he makes a complete arse of himself on one of...

Welcome to this weeks shambolic episode. This week is a quiet one for most of the hosts, with Elton not doing much, Jim losing a book he's seen 20 times that day, Darren watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 and Lee hogging the lions share of the time with tales of buzzards, stoned pigeons, reviews of  Evil Dead Rise, Reminiscence aka an idiots remake of Inception by Mills & Boon and final rage f...
