The Podcast Nobody Asked For

Not that anybody asked but this week we stayed positive and put on a smile because we're talking about documentaries you can watch to improve a bad day. We were lucky enough to be able to watch the incredible documentary "Mighty Penguins" which follows the Brentford Penguins, a dedicated football club for players with Down's Syndrome. It's a beautiful documentary that deserves a proper release and...

Not that anybody asked but this week we lit some candles and grabbed a cake because we are celebrating the podcast's 4th birthday! As is now tradition we decided to revisit an old episode but after a public vote our listeners decided they wanted us to revisit an old format. It's time for us to head back to The League of Good Bad Movies which has us watching the film Diana: The Musical. Expect Off-...

Not that anybody asked but this week we Cranked things up to 11 and quit our Bank Jobs because we're talking about Jason Statham. In this episode that prominently features pivot tables we decided to pitch our own Statham films that would see him playing a mundane job while secretly being a badass. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a Statham In An Iron Mask, the "Thanks Obama" e...

Not that anybody asked but this week we checked the rankings and smoked some wings because we're talking about Fantasy Football. If you're a listener of this podcast you already know that we're slightly obsessed with NFL and fantasy football, so this week we are combining our loves and turning our attention to a fictional league. But which characters would we want on it? What will make our final T...

Not that anybody asked but this week we revisited our CVs and checked out the job listings because we're talking about films and TV shows that have made us want to change profession.

Expect the heroic Chase Daniel, a passata emulsion and S...

Because a Patron asked this week we dressed in black and paid our respects because we're talking about death.

What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect Gr''eeg'g, 40 Days and 40 Wayne Knights and I...

Not that anybody asked but this week we shut our mouths and refused to tell because we're talking about secrets, or are we? We are.

What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect ladies wine Thursdays, the renaissance of c...

Not that anybody asked but this week we... and... because we're talking about beavers and keeping things quiet.

What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect beaver butchers/seamstresses, 57 inches of chest an...

We are unexpectedly dropping into your podcast feed with a special Top 3 list! To celebrate the incredible film "Hundreds of Beavers", which is releasing in the UK today, we are given you a quick run down of our favourite beavers from Hundreds of Beavers, which provides at most 3% beaver coverage and that's before fatoring in the non-Hundreds of Beavers beavers which we discuss. Expect Kastoraphob...

Not that anybody asked but this week we drank some incredible Pepsi™ and tucked into some Taco Bell™ because we're talking about product placement.

What will make our final Top 3 list this wee...

Because a Patron asked this week we cracked out the laptops and started to render because we're talking about VFX in films. We love a good bad movie here at The Podcast Nobody Asked For, but which films are made incredible due to how bad the visual effects are? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect retroactively bleeping the Johns, the Sean Bean death ratio and the availability of...

Not that anybody asked but this week Graham cracked out his bookmarks and Ian checked his audible credits because we're talking about books!

Expect the Demon in Brum, Andy Serkis at Ian's Death Bed and Be...

Not that anybody asked (apart from the listener who actively requested this episode) but this week we took a break from reality and wove a meta web because we're talking about films within films and TV shows that don't actually exist. This may well be one of the hardest episodes we have done to whittle down a shortlist into a shorterlist. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect doubl...

Not that anybody asked but this week we acted surprised and said mother f*cker a lot because we're talking about one of our favourite actors, the one, the only: Samuel L Jackson. Given he has over 200 credits to his name it is only natural that we may forget some things he has appeared in. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect the forecasted GDP of Haiti, The Immortal Piano Man and...

Not that anybody asked but this week are running screaming and avoiding some atomic breath because we're talking about films that we wish Godzilla had been in. With Godzilla being 390ft tall we felt this too big a subject to handle on our own so we invited our boy Harley Mumford from Fandomentals Podcast to join us and get our Kaiju on. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect cloaca...

Not that anybody asked but this week we take a break from arguing and turn instead to talking about our favourite films and TV shows of the year, then we messed up recording the episode so recorded it again!

Not that anybody asked but this week we found Greg Davies and little Alex Horne because, as a New Year Treat, we're talking about Taskmaster.

Expect the Tsunami Splashback System, the 13th Month Year an...

Not that anybody asked but this week we went round and talked more about Bono than we would have liked because we're talking about the Las Vegas Sphere. Sphere is that giant round thing in Vegas (and hopefully not Stratford, depending on when you're reading this) that is home to massive and pretty incredible screen. So that had us thinking, which movie scenes would we want to watch on it? What wil...
