We’re very grateful to Frazer Snowden and the Global News team for this vital exposure as a small start-up it was deeply appreciated.       PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures […]

Pod Stallions 63: Convention Stories

The last PodStallions we did was so much fun, we rushed back to do another, look at us being proactive! This week’s show is all about conventions and toy shows. We explore our humble first conventions (which were mind blowing to us then) and eventually get all the way to modern tales of San Diego […]

Pod Stallions 57: Amicus Films

It’s our October double shot! Episode 57 is all about the films by England’s other horror studio (even though it was run by two Americans) Amicus! We get into every film they make touching on their classic horror anthologies, Doctor Who movies and their amazing adventures with Doug McClure. We even discuss later films such […]

Pod Stallions 54: Movies of 1982

For our 54th show, we start with a brief (well for us) discussion about our thoughts on the newest actor to take the mantle of Doctor Who.  Then we dig deep into the movies released the summer of 1982. Some call it the greatest summer for movies and hey, a lot of these movies went […]

Pod Stallions Minisode 3: Records!

We’re back this week with another mini-sode and we’re talking about one of our favourite subjects, haunting record shops and collecting, of course. Mini-Sode was inspired by last weekend’s Record Store Day festivities where we talk about experiences, vinyl, collecting philosophies, soundtracks, Doctor Who. Fawlty Towers, Power Records, The Ramones, Wild in the Streets,  GI […]

Pod Stallions 52: Tom Baker

Episode 52 is a unique turn on our usual tribute shows as the subject we’re speaking about is still alive and well. We salute veteran actor Tom Baker in this month’s show and celebrate not only his tenure as Doctor Who, where he cemented the character into pop culture but also his amazing turns in […]

Palitoy Talking Dalek Speaks

I was rather excited to reunite with a working Palitoy talking Dalek this past month. This toy was my first “Big boy collector mail order purchase” at the yonge age of 13, I innocently sent $25 (US!) to a classifed ad in the back of Starlog. The next three months of waiting were nerve wracking […]

Pod Stallions 50: Listener Request Show

For our 50th show we put it to you, our wonderful audience and boy did you have some good ideas, seriously you gave us a year’s worth of topics, Jason and I don’t have to do any thinking in 2017 and we thank you because we hate thinking. But for this show we chose these […]

Pod Stallions 42: Don’t Panic!

It’s episode 42, we’re both entirely too nerdy not to do an episode devoted to Douglas Adam’s seminal “Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” series. Jason and Brian talk up the books, radio dramas, the BBC TV series and of course, the big budget movie from 2005. Along the way we veer off into Doctor […]

Pod Stallions 41 : Robots!

For our 41st episode (and 3rd of 2016 if you’re keeping count) we’re joined by Famous Monsters of Filmland Editor David Weiner (@tikiambassador) for a discussion of all things robotic. We each pick and discuss our personal three favourite and least favourite mechanical men from film and television over the decades and discuss why. Along […]
