Not that anybody asked but this week we checked the motivators and got down to some programming because we're talking about robots. Films are great, we love films, but sometimes you can't help but wish they had more robots in. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect The Hall of Fame Hall of Fame, The Opposite Jabba The Hut and Little Arthur. You can find the trailers for our choices,...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are climbing into our TARDIS and bending the truth because we're talking about fictionalising historical figures and throwing them into horror movies. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and a film where Edgar Allen Poe fights a demon show that historical figures have what it takes to be horror icons. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect Edgar A...

Not that anybody asked but this week we picked our lineups and set some waivers because we're talking about fantasy sport. Unfortunately for us we aren't talking about actual fantasy sport, our teams are too bad to pretend we can talk at length about that, but instead we are talking about the best fictional sports that have appears in films and TV. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Ex...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are donning our headphones and turning up the volume as we talk through our Top 3 list of films where the soundtrack is better than the film, again! October 1st marks the 2nd birthday of The Podcast Nobody Asked For so we thought we would go back to the beginning and revisit our first ever topic. Are our choices the same? Have we actually figured out how to...

The Church of Tarantino specifically asked so this week we interpretted the prophecy and figured out things to do in Denver when we're dead because we're talking about Christopher Walken. Joining us is the illustrious Reverend Scott K from The Church of Tarantino Podcast, a man who has been petitioning for this episode since at least March. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect We'...

Not that anybody asked but this week we waited and we waited some more because we're talking about Legacy Sequels! Thanks to the success of Mary Poppins Returns and more recently Top Gun Maverick we started to think which other films that are 25 years or older deserved a long awaited sequel. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect Brawl In Jurassic Park, flogging a dead pegasus and t...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are forgetting the laughs and peeking up from behind the sofa because we're talking about comedy actors who should turn their attention to horror movies. A lot of actors renowned for comedy have dipped their toe into horror, but who else should follow suit? Joining us is writer, comedian and old school friend Rajiv Karia. What will make our final Top 3 list...

Not that anybody asked but this week we unlocked our phones and turned them off silent because we're talking about smartphones. Which movie plots (or in our cases, 5 movies and a TV Season) would have been changed by the characters having access to a smartphone? I know Mark Strong tells us to turn our mobiles off but, in this case, we're keeping them on. What will make our final Top 3 list this we...

Hi we're Ian and Graham, Welcome to The Podcast Nobody Asked For. Not that anybody asked but this week we are building our ramps and trying to get health insurance because we're talking about Jackass. Johnny Knoxville and the gang were, bizarrely, a cultural sensation in the 00s and we are eternally grateful for that, but which of their more extreme stunts do we think we could do? What will make o...

Not that anybody asked but this week we applied our sunscreen and avoided the pie because we're talking, again about the modern horror masterpiece Midsommar. For this year's Midsommar special we were honoured to be joined by the film's Director of Photography Pawel Pogorzelski who talks to Ian about all things Midsommar (and Nicolas Cage) and then Graham and Ian talk about their Top 3 movies to do...

Not that anybody asked but this week we set our phasers to stun and learned to swoosh because we're talking about Disney and science fiction. Inspired by last week's revelation that the sequel to the novel 101 Dalamatians is called "The Starlight Barking" and features an alien dog, a discussion about flat out murdering Cruella De Vil in her sleep and the sudden manifestation of psychic dog abiliti...

Not that anybody asked but this week we (did something) and had our mind's blown because we're talking about our favourite movies that we don't really think we understand. If you like being confused and discovering a sequel to a children's book you didn't know exist then this is the episode for you. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect The hit new podcast "Ian and Graham Remember...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are changing our name to Ben and locking our S-foils in attack position because we're talking about the Star Wars Saga! With films like Solo and The Book of Boba Fett it's time to turn our attention to other characters who have been lurking in the background of the series but who we think deserve their own spin-off movie or series. What will make our final T...

Not that anybody asked but this week we donned our Cage masks and double checked we weren't actually John Travolta because we're talking about The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. As part of our target audience you are probably more than aware that Nicolas Cage is starring as Nick Cage in what is probably the best movie ever made. But what other actors would we like see star in a movie as them...

Not that anybody asked but this week we put away the stories and decided to learn because we're talking about plots from movies that would make a good documentary. We aren't talking behind the scenes - we're talking if Rocky IV was an ESPN documentary. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a sorbet for the mind, the bassist for The Sopranos and God Emperor Louis Theroux. Spoiler kl...

Det är dags för ännu ett litet avsnitt av League of Good Bad Movies! Varje månad låter vi våra lyssnare rösta om vilken bra dålig film vi ska se och sedan slår vi upp ett par öl och rullar film. Den här månaden såg vi Ari Asters 2019 mästerverk Midsommar. Har någon verkligen brytt sig om att översätta denna sammanfattning? Om du har det är det jävligt imponerande! Jag skulle kunna säga i princip v...

Not that anybody asked but this week we roared and we howled because we're talking about talking animals. Movies and TV Shows are great aren't they? People however are generally awful, so what better subject to discuss when the world is falling apart than which movies or shows would be better if their entire casts were replaced with talking animals. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? E...

Not that anybody asked but this week we started the fanfare and dramatically started recording again because, after a short break, we have triumphantly returned to talk about our favourite scenes in movies and TV that features a triumphant return. We're that kind of meta, haven't you missed us? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect loosely factual anecdotes, fizzy gravy and Warhamm...

It's an episode literally nobody asked for as Ian dusts off his history degree and bids Graham farewell because, with Graham off in New York City on holiday, it's time for Ian to talk about history. What will make Ian's final Top 3 list this week? Expect Triple H in a toga, vicious lampooning and Ian's history degree. You can find the trailers for our choices, and other things referenced, on this...

Not that anybody asked but this week we arranged some leaving parties and checked our pensions because we're talking about characters that should have retired. Do you ever feel like someone stays around longer than you're happy with? Maybe they should have called it a day sooner instead of hanging around? Maybe this is all a thinly veiled excuse to talk about someone? What will make our final Top...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are donning our headphones and hitting subscribe as we take on the very meta subject of podcasts. Everybody and their mother has started a podcast, so why shouldn't movie characters get in on the fun? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect Orbit of Experts, Messiah muscle puns and the okayest movie ever. You can find the trailers for our choic...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are combining and smushing because we are talking our dream movie or TV crossovers. Everybody loves a good crossover, taking one character from one property and smushing them into another, so why not talk through the potential combinations that leave us feeling funny inside. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect London Irish's mashed potato,...

Not that anybody asked but this week we have our party outfits on and we are facing off as we continue our Nicolas Cage birthday celebrations. He is the thespian that keeps giving so we think it only fair that we give him another episode. This week we are diving into Cage's own filmography to see which films may have been better had he been wearing John Travolta's face. What will make our final To...

Not that anybody asked but this week we are wrapping some presents and lighting the candles because we are celebrating the birthday of the one, the only: Nicolas Cage. If you have listened to this podcast before, or just know us as people, you will know we are huge fans and what better way to celebrate the legend that is Cage than by talking about which John Travolta movies we think he should have...
