What‘s Our Seat Number?

What's Our Seat Number episodes are like buses. You wait months for one and then two come along at the same time. Once again, we gift you, free of charge, free of obligation, free of wit or intelligence, a bonus episode of our illustrious, prestigious and presumtuous podcast. Please enjoy the following prattle - we discuss the one thing that Jonny needs in order to bribe him into jumping out of a...

SCREAVI is the new Scream movie, bucking the trend of awkwardly stylized titles with numbers in them.  No, I lie.  It’s pretty awkward.  At least they didn’t call it Scream 2.  We went to see this movie the other night and then recorded this very episode you hold in your ears, while sitting in the car.  No one need ever rent studio time again, this is a patent, it sounds way better than doing it i...

Yippee Ki-Yay mothercluckers!  Fresh from game design stardom and slumming it with us once again, my co-host Simon Gross has finally returned!  Much like chickens batting exploding eggs at each other with frying pans, our conversation this evening was once again fraught with banter, slurred words and the constant, unprofessional shitting of the proverbial and literal bed.  In this episode, we talk...

A veritable Russian Doll of tangents are at the fore of this week’s episode, where the sheer amount of unrelated topics careening wildly off the road is positively mind boggling.  It’s like, you know when you’re in the middle of a sentence and you think of something else and then you get stuck on that thing but you were supposed to be talking about something else?  That’s this episode.  Right…wher...

Happy Halloween!  'Tis the night of ghouls, ghosts, witches, goblins and pumpkins and what better way to celebrate it than to stay inside, lock the doors, hide your candy (because it's MINE!) and listen to us chat about The Frighteners?  Peter Jackson's 1996 breakout flick sees Michael J. Fox as Frank Bannister, a con man who sets up hauntings so that he can exorcise houses.  The twist?  He can ac...

I know what you're thinking.  Didn't we do this already?  Haven't you already droned on for what seemed like a lifetime about this trilogy of films?  Well, now we've got added Si and through his eyes I could see deep into his soul to surmise...that he was tired.  Midnight is no time to record a podcast, dammit!   Now, dear listeners, you can hear the other side of the conversation.  Enjoy, and rem...

Hello and welcome to What's Our...?  Because it's half of what it normally is, due to the absence of one Si.  It's alright, he's fine, he's not dead or anything... we just didn't have time to meet this week, so instead, I decided to give my thoughts on the Halloween 2018 trilogy, that culminated in this week's release of Halloween Ends.  Both Kills and Ends have been critically ripped apart, and a...

Pray, dear listeners, for the demon resides within thee!  The power of WOSN compels you! We're not really speaking in tongues, we just sound like that. This week, we're eating cans of pea soup while engaging in some light movie watching.  It's Halloween movie #2, The Exorcist (1973), directed by William Friedkin and most certainly not Tobe Hooper or Steven Spielberg.  Let's just lay that to rest r...

In just over a month, the ghouls, witches and demons shall rise up to wreak havoc as All Hallow’s Eve befalls us once more, and what better way to celebrate the festival of darkness than by watching scary movies?  This week, we watched Poltergeist, a Toe Pooper film, not at all directed by Steven Spielberg.  And those skeletons in the pool aren’t real in the slightest.    Through a haze of fatigue...

Morbius has gained cult status simply by being reportedly bad, but there are those who have said "well, it's not really so bad."  Ever the detectives, we deigned to investigate to find out if Morbius is indeed bad... or not so bad.  We did this through intricately developed investigative techniques that took us decades to learn in the art of investigation and whatnot.  So we watched the film and m...

It's been a while, but here we are with our first full episode since the Eisenhower administration. Last Action Hero, much maligned at the time for it's overly comedic and satirical style (here 1993, I'll help  - it's a comedy and a satire...) and for the fact that it wasn't Jurassic Park, makes it's What's Our Seat Number debut as it pulls out it's magic ticket and slides effortlessly through our...

Hi everyone! We've been away for a bit, but we're back! We recorded an episode this week (Last Action Hero) but as I haven't had time to edit it all yet, here's a snippet we've put together so we can catch up on what we've seen over the summer! So, in the meantime...what have you seen?   MUSIC TRACKS Modern Funk Groove by StudioEtude. Feel The 80s by Nuclearmetal. Trap Ident by LEXMUSIC.

Oi oi!  You lucky people! Here is an interesting short discussion we had about people being mean online.  It's part moan, part plea, but all worth it to hear Jonny's Vanessa Redgrave impression.  Enjoy, stay in school.   MUSIC TRACKS Modern Funk Groove by StudioEtude. Feel The 80s by Nuclearmetal.

This week we went to see The Black Phone, starring Ethan Hawke and directed by Scott Derrickson, based on a Joe Hill short story (from the collection 20th Century Ghosts, if anyone wants to check it out.)   Remember that scene in Jumanji when Robin Williams' legs can be seen sticking out of the ceiling from the floor below?  That's what happened to Jonny as a result of the jump scares in The Black...

It seems that like the Tyrannosaur, WOSN doesn’t follow any set patterns or park schedules.  It’s the essence of chaos.  So, here we are, a week and a day after the last episode.  Anarchy!  But still, we’re not posting old episodes, we’re making all new ones! In this episode, we discuss everything Jurassic Park, from the 1993 classic directed by Steven Spielberg, to the current trilogy, Jurassic W...

Oh!  Uuuuh...oooohhh!  Um...ooooh! And so the Goldblumming begins!   This week we discuss the latest in a long line of sequels repurposed into legacy sequels - Jurassic World: Dominican...er...Dominion. Fair warning: HERE BE SPOILERS! We talk pranks (Si hilariously hindered my teeth brushing for approximately 2 minutes) and some alleged disc switching that kept me busy for quite a bit longer, Morb...

Message to all bank employees: never refuse an old lady an extension on her mortgage.  Just trust us on this. In this week's episode, we talk about Drag Me To Hell, Sam Raimi's demon infested horror that promises to drag your soul to hell instead of just swallowing it this time.  As usual, we have games (Si found that getting up and walking away from the mic gives him superpowers), trivia corners...

Well this is fun, isn't it?  Not only did we give you a full episode just two days ago, but now we're coming at you with some glorious BONUS CONTENT! This bonus episode is made up of three sections - a deleted cold open which went on for 12 minutes, a new game that failed miserably and a slightly lackluster, cut for time round of "You're Talking Bullshit". Enjoy and look out for episode 18, coming...

Stop, hey, what's that sound?  It's the sound of maniacal, hysterical laughter and the perpetrator is none other than Simon Gross, who has lost it.   The cause, is of course, me, Jonny, because I am hilarious, and my new game, which broke Si's brain. Once the giggling died down, we managed to get into a discussion of Sam Raimi's latest, which also happens to be the new MCU entry, Doctor Strange in...

Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought otherwise, but in this week’s episode, we chat about the 1987 classic Innerspace, not The Neverending Story.  Things were said, deflating horse testicles were mentioned, Si lamented his secret nightlife as a pinup girl and wet wipes were poked back in to the packet with our index fingers.  Because we care and don't want to burn in hell for all eternity. As us...

Riddle me this!  What scares Si more than the sight of an approaching pigeon?  Answer: apparently when I say "riddle me this"... This week we have an EPIC 2 hour discussion for you, all about Batman!  It's ALL BATMAN, ALL THE TIME! We take you on a journey from comics, to tv series, to movies, to animated series to games and along the way, we play our usual quizzes.   PLUS - We have brand new EXCL...

This week, we're having a spoilerific discussion of The Batman (2022), the latest incarnation of The Dark Knight starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright and someone claiming to be Colin Farrell.  Expertly directed by the great Matt Reeves, who, along with cinematographer Grieg Fraser, put a whole load of lighting technicians out of work for the duration of filming.  Serio...

This week's episode is brought to you by Betelgeuse, the bio exorcist!  Troubled by the living?  Is death a problem and not the solution?  Unhappy with eternity?  Having difficulty adjusting?  Then call Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse! On your own heads be it.   Yes, this week we're chatting incessantly about Tim Burton's 1988 classic, Beetlejuice.   We also chat about lending things to friends...

What's your favourite time travel movie?  Ok, fine, Back to the Future.  What's your second favourite?  Right, I can see we're going to be here for a while.  The Time Machine 2002 anyone?  Anyone?  No?  Just me?  Alright then... This week we're talking about everyone's 43rd favourite time travel movie, The Time Machine 2002, starring Guy Pierce, Samantha Mumba, Orlando Jones and Jeremy Irons.  We...

All rise!   On this week's episode, Jonny put 2004's Van Helsing on trial for crimes against cinema.  Jonny, arguing for the prosecution, will seek to prove that Van Helsing is a pungent poo of a film, while Si, arguing for the defense, will try to prove it's innocence (he doesn't have a sense of smell, so that may help).  What will be the verdict?  Listen to find out, your jaw will positively elo...
