The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow

Gaz is knackered. He's literally breathing fluid at this point. He can't speak properly or laugh, but he's going to give it a good go. He'll do better next year, I suspect 👍

Whatever happened to The Mysterious Cities Of Gold? Did you watch it? What clanger has Gaz dropped? Where can I find this thing? All these questions, plus more, possibly answered, but also possibly not. Tune in anyway!

Faster than a speeding Spuggy, Gaz flies through his 1st bonus episode about the BBC teen drama Byker Grove. It's not your usual Gaz, he's full of covid, so he does actually stop to breathe(ish) occasionally!

Dange's final bonus show is about the 1985 horror movie Day of the Dead, mostly because Gaz and Lloyd wont talk about this movie, he also gives his top 5 most enjoyable shows from last season.

On this bonus Episode Dange discusses his love of the 1993 Mariah Carey album music box, he discusses his other favourite Mariah albums and what lead him to be a fan.

Dange's 2nd bonus show focuses on his love the the 1991 action comedy Suburban Commando starring Hulk Hogan and Christopher Lloyd, yes this isn't an award winner or even a classic but little Dange loved this movie.

This seasons over and the totally TIDRP bonus shows are back, in this quick episode Dange discusses his love for the game show Going for Gold, how the show flowed and what it was all about. Presented by Henry Kelly it went for 10 Series, from 1987 to 1996.

The truly brilliant animation that has been captivating children for almost 30 years is getting the TIDRP treatment in the second of their Christmas specials. There's a whole load of segments to keep you entertained and, hopefully, coming back for season 5 in 2024.

Snow is failing all around us, children playing having fun...those were the days. This week we talk about one of the forgotten Christmas classics from the UKs best selling artist of the 80s, Sir Shakin' Stevens. With a bumper packed 1st Christmas show of the season...enjoy

Could this be any more exciting? It's taken a few years, but the boys have finally gotten round to a Friends episode. Rather than a top 10 episode type show, the guys discuss the background of the show, who almost played the gang instead and defend it against those who would seek to criticise it unnecessarily. And because they forgot to mention it in the show, I'd just like to say "PIVOT, PIVOT, P...

Ahhh, the humble analogue tape cassette. Where would a generation or two of kids and young people be without you? To prove it's worth beyond being a prop in a horror movie, the boys decided to pay homage to the VHS and gush about simpler days and ways. Get ready to rewind in time!

Hello Benders! Welcome to the world's first and only electronic comic. I wish that were true...but instead what you're left with is a giggling and giddy Gaz and Dange as they sift through the hours of puns, wordplay and anarchy that was Round The Bend. Why was it so popular, why was it so unique and why was it cancelled? 80s/90s UK kids TV wasn't all pink hippos and plasticine postmen, there was a...

How did they go all this time without bringing this up? The boys cover the greatest Australian film of all time and discuss what makes it so. And only one mention of a knife too!

It's the (perhaps, maybe, officially/unofficially) 4th Halloween Special for TIDRP! The guys get a special guest on who knows a thing or two about horror films to have a discussion with Dange as Gaz herds cats blindfolded. It's a super fun and interesting episode as the lads discuss the great genre of horror from the top to the bottom of the two greatest decades. Don't miss out!

A borderline insane man in impossibly bright clothes says Blaaahhh a lot and hits kids in the face with a foam hammer. That's all we wanted, and by jove, we got it! Wacaday was an absolute thrill and the boys are dead excited to chat about this. For Timmy Mallett fans or newcomers, it's a must listen.

Goonies never say die! Or ride up buckets. But they do get dynamite and candles confused, so there is that. It's quite possibly the greatest kids movie ever made, and Gaz is definitely just a little excited. Which Goonie are you? How much do you want to move to Oregon? And can you do the truffle shuffle?

Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? No, it's not one of our season 1 episodes, TIDRP are covering the 90s hit comedy Dumb and Dumber. Was actually it met with blanket approval? Was the soundtrack up to scratch? Is explosive diarrhoea ever not funny? Tune in and see!

And like that, WHAM! It's been 3 years. Crikey, how time flies, hairlines venture off in search of pastures new and prices rise higher than a skyscraper. TIDRP is still pretty much the same though and we're hoping you'll celebrate with Gaz, Dange and Producer Buddy as they try to unpick how and why we love Wham so much

It's only a game so put up a real good fight, we gonna be snookering you tonight and if understand that, then you're going to want to listen to this episode. It's a great episode about a great show!

And if you'd like know more about what planet Gaz is from, please look at this little red light here....The boys are talking MIB this week, it's the return of Gaz and he's very excited about this subject! Fasten your seat belt, please.

You didnt let the dog in for free did ya? And no we didn't we charged him for Den's extra sausage. This week Lloyd and Dange discuss the 80s comedy scene of the Comic Strip presents. They talk about their favourite episodes featuring Pete Richardson, Ade Edmunson, Rik Mayall and Nigel Planer. TIDRP presents Bad News/More Bad News double feature...enjoy.

Do you remember the match that was canc on this show? Lloyd does, so settle back and listen to Dange and Lloyd revisit the 1994 Wrestlemania 10, the WWF'S biggest event turned 10 years old and there was alot going on and some memorable matches.

Nobody knocks off an old man in my neighborhood and gets away with it. No they don't and no co host is away and leaves Dange by himself. Nope Lloyd is back this week as they talk about the 1989 Tom Hanks movie The Burbs it's a cult classic and this one is a good one.

Paint the whole world with some retro! Or is that rainbow? I don't know, I can't decide which I like better. What I do know is that we can't call ourselves a retro podcast and not cover Rainbow. So settle in and get ready for the usual irreverent, laid back chatter.

This week Gaz is off on holiday and this means Dange is a man down, so he calls on his buddy Lloyd to step in as the discuss the 80s/90s TV Favourite The Wonder Years, with Fred Savage and Danica McKellar. We also have the favourites, Ask Dangerous, What Happened Way Back When and Quotely90s. Settle back and listen...
