Life is swings and roundabouts, we are lucky to live through times enjoying brilliant art, but as the years creep on, we lose more of the artists. Joe Flaherty gave us more laughs than can be counted, and because he means so much to us we do our best to honour him, his many characters and his dependability in the latest Pod Stallions.
We, um, also manage to squeeze in commercials featuring Doctor Who actors, Lifeforce, and the cinematic oeuvre of Steve Railsback.
It’ll all make sense. Enjoy.

Jaws era Shark Puzzle (eBay Link) –

I can’t honestly tell if I like official “Jaws” merchandise more than “Generic Shark meant to look like Jaws” merchandise. They’re both kind of awesome.

For the inaugural episode, we’ve chosen two absolute doozies starting with the “Man from the 25th Century” AKA “Irwin Allen’s Kitchen Junk Drawer.” Followed up with Jason’s choice, the American version of “Spaced” which, totally doesn’t suck.

Then we trail off into topics like Dick Shawn, rare SCTV and voice-over legend Bob Holt.

Pod Stallions 103: Martin Short

Pod Stallions 103: Martin Short

Some things in life are constants: the sun goes up/down, the world turns, Coke & Pepsi will never see eye to eye, and dogs RULE. There’s a comfort in that, never better exemplified than by a Man Called Short. Martin Short. Always gives 100%, always 100% funny no matter what, and the laughter and joy he’s given the world are incalculable. We’re lucky to live in a time where Martin Short lives to bring us joy, because, man, do we need it. Todays Pod Stallions: ‘It’s a Short, Short, Short, Short World- We’re Just Living In It .

The post Pod Stallions 82: John Saxon appeared first on PS.

We’re back with a new show discussing something near and dear to our hearts.

Episode 46 opens with a tribute to the late, great Gene Wilder and then we move into what is Brian’s favourite television show of all time, SCTV.

We talk about the show’s Canadian origins and inspirations, what made it’s comedy special and the many unsung heroes of it’s 8 year journey on television.

Along the way, we discuss the many sketches, actors and characters that made us love it so. The best of all it’s in 3-D!

Hit us up on our facebook page and tell us what your favourite SCTV sketch is!


Show Notes:

The post Pod Stallions 46: SCTV appeared first on PS.

We’re thrilled to be back recording PodStallions after some truly turbulent times.


Today’s show is all about our mutual love for the Monkee’s, although neither of us were alive for the show’s original run we were both hooked on reruns and records during the middle 1970s.


We kick off the show playing catch up and discussing Jason’s adventures at San Diego Comic Con, including a chance meeting with SCTV’s Dave Thomas and being on  the Famous Monsters of Filmland panel.


Then we get into the Monkee’s, our early impressions, favourite bits of merchandise, songs and episodes. We even get into the disastrous “New Monkee’s” series that should just be forgotten.


Hit us up on our facebook page and tell us what your favourite Monkees song and merch is!


Show Notes:

•  The Box Set Jason mentioned
• The Monkee Mobile was repackaged as Fonzie’s car in 1976
• The amazing Monkees dolls being produced by Figures Toy Company
• Pin Mates by Jason’s company Bif Bang Pow!
• Trailer for HEAD
• That version of “Listen to the Band” Brian mentioned
• An excerpt from Mike Nesmith’s Television Parts.
