Throw in the Pal

Pals... You can't speak, because we can't hear you. We are the creators of a podcast that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions. And you? You're the listeners. Is any of this real? We are real. That's what makes us so good to listen to. Now, believe us, Pals: there's no more truth out there than there is in this pod we created for you. Same lies. The same deceit. But in our world, you hav...

What kind of things should you remake? A delicious pie after it's been fouled by a libidinous high schooler? Yes, says I! But what about if that second pie, equally as scrumptious and now just as cum-ptious due to that same horny fellow? Maybe once more, I suppose, but don't leave it cooling by the sill, for heaven's sake! Anyway, this is all a deviously complicated metaphor drawing from the popul...

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird... it's a plane... no, actually, its dimensions don't really fit either of those fairly common sky-bound properties. Aahh, could be some sort of... drone, I suppose? Well, actually, looks like there's a lot of fabric, so maybe it's a banner, like, as some promotion for... banners? Do banners need promoting? You kinda need one or you don't, right? People aren't typi...

What if God was zill-aah-ahhh? Just a giant liz-aaa-aaard? Would he have big riz-aaa-aaah? Or would could he just be our Paaaaaaaaaaal?

The New York Times made a list, ya see, of the very best films from this century Some are low brow, some are high, and most were made by some white guy Most are dramas, the human kind, with lots of doom and gloom in mind A couple comedies, worth a guffaw, and some foreign films you've never heard of before So the Pals are here, same as ever, to give you their two cents as to whether The list is go...

Did you hear about the man who couldn't stop eating corn? 28 Ears Later... his blood sugar Spiked, cause he didn't Boyle it well enough. Well, enough of ATJ (All That Joking), why don't you Comer along and Pal it up with these Fienne fellas!

"Per" is a prefix, meaning proportionally attributable in each instance or unit; "form" is a noun, meaning the expression of a thing itself; and "ants" are those things that you have in your pants. That's all the context you need to enjoy The Pals' latest Short n Sweet: Our Favourite Performances of the 2020s (So Far)!

On July 7th, 2025, in celebration of the many Pals they had previously thrown in together, the shortest episode in the podcast's history was recorded in Melbourne, Australia. The many years worth of fun, frivolity and friendship that had amassed up to this point came to be known as The Palwry. Unfortunately, in their foolish attempts to discuss the 2008 film Fool's Gold, the Pals had just about th...

Some say a villain is simply a hero ahead of schedule. Others say that morality is a compass in a maze of magnets, where the only truly righteous beings are those who set their headings by the stars. Others still have been know to say, "Huh? What?" Food for thought, and thus we three provideth a digestive bickie for thee to snack upon while contemplating yon riddle of chivalry and nefariousness up...

Our Pals once were podcasters. But unlike you, listener, they were Pals with bits, "Yes, and"-ers; Pals with spirit. And if their spirit can survive podding with each other for almost three years, then they can survive anything.

What is the deal with Vampires? They're out here all moody, milky pale and trying to avoid any natural light. It's like the front row at a My Chemical Romance concert! And what is it with all this stuff about sucking people dry just to sustain themselves? Where'd they learn that from, my ex-wife?! And hey, I know they've got all these strange weaknesses, but if you ask me, there's lotsa worse ways...

And now, the Sinners' prayer: Some films, if rated an eleven, hallowed be thy name; will this be one? Wouldn't that be fun, if we all gave this movie an eleven? Give us today not too wide a spread; and Frank give us our Marcuses, as we give Frank those who Marcus against us; and lead us not into Tom-tation, but deliver us more podcasts. For the pal-dom, the pal-der, and the glor-pal are yours, Pal...

Viewing things as a young child Held a real "je ne sais quoi" So we decided to go buckwild Hi there, it's the monkey who writes the blurbs for Throw in the Pal here! Eagle-eyed viewers will recognise that the above is an acrostic poem, using the acronym VHS as its basis, as this Short 'n Sweet is all about VHS classics from the Pals' childhoods. Some real indulgent shit, I'd say, but whadda I know...

The Pals... they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that podcasting is all the Pals are fit for. I'm so sick of it! But we're so lonely... So join us, won't you, and help alleviate some of our pod-based blues in listening to this week's episode of Throw in the Pal, discussin...

Video games... What are video games? Are they movies you play, with missions and aims? Is it all interactive, do you pick the events? Do you have to pay more, in dollars and cents? Is there easy and hard as a mode to select? Are there easter eggs hidden for you to detect? If I eat a burrito and hold in a fart,Then unleash it on canvas, would you call it art?"How's that related?" you ask with deris...

A Minecraft Movie, y'say? Next they'll be doing a Fortnite Feature or a Roblox Reel! And why stop there?! There could even be a THIRD THING! Anyway, enjoy the episode.

People keep writing in and asking the Pals when we're going to start talking more about current events. No, that's not 'currant' as in the berry, so calm down you juice-guzzling sickos. We mean current as in 'currency', the tokens that line our credit and draw us together in the spending spree of modern stuff. Coins and cash and doo-hickeys of all variety, from yen to pounds to the almighty dollar...

Now the story of a wealthy man who lost everything, and then the same man who had no choice but to let his boxing career flame out so that he could open up a sleazy nightclub in order to perform atrocious standup comedy and more efficiently make out with teenagers. It's a-Raging Bull, innit?

Balls: what are they good for, anyhow? Can you eat ‘em? Can you take ‘em out on an airplane and play with ‘em without getting into trouble? Can you go one day without someone getting on your case about holding onto ‘em for too damn long? For most of those, the answer is fairly self-evident, even if you’ve become confused somewhere in the middle and started thinking about testicles instead, which s...

The reason it's called the "f-you-ture" and not the "f-us-ture" is that everyone's is their own to make. That's really the main theme of the Back to the Future movies, if you ignore "white people actually invented rock and roll" and "maybe MILF is a more inclusive term that you originally thought." So let's get back to it, Pals, for our 100th episode spectacular and Season Two finale!!!

The Pals have been watching movies for so long that they almost forgot why they started doing it in the first place: so they could yell vulgarities at each other over minor score disparities. Luckily, we at Throw in the Pal have decided to celebrate our nearly 100 episodes by dedicating an entire "Short n Sweet" to the frequency with which we come close to physical violence when someone dear to us...

Pal boys, Pal boys, Not just one or two, Not just one or two, There's a third for you.

Picture half of an Australian choccie biscuit, blown up to massive proportions and then frozen over, becoming the coldest, most massive hunk of a common confectionery you've ever seen. They're calling it a Tim Brrrr-tonne, and it's the topic we were supposed to be talking about in this week's episode, but instead we started chatting about this freak-deeky goth director. Whoops!

Adam West did it best when he wore the crusader's vest Mr Affleck sadly naffed it, wasn't made for Gotham habits Robert Patz beat the stats, made for such a brilliant Bats Then there's Christian, sure do miss 'im, even when he's hissy fittin' But this here Michael is an eyeful, with a chin that's most delightful And Nicholson's a tricky one, who cackles like Don Rickles, hon! Throw in the Pal, oh...

Whether you're watching the second movie in a documentary series about anatomy (Leg: A Sequel), addressing an elven archer via a misguided nickname as you instruct him to use his water powers to stymy an oceanic tempest ("Lega! Sea quell!") or you've just got a mouthful of turkey stuffing and are garbling random syllables while trying not to asphyxiate ("Leh... guh... thee... kwoll!"), you're more...
