New Year special - recorded on New Year's Eve 2025. 80's Mateys look look back at January 1986 where they review the Smash Hits of the month. Also they review the movie selected from the previous episode, Deadtime Stories.

Christmas Special focusing on December 1986. A great year for music, including Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, A-Ha and of course Nick Berry (hey?)!! Merry Christmas from the greatest decade.

The Brothers give a review of films picked from their previous podcast, Hell Island (AKA Attack of the Beast Creatures) and The Lift. After the film reviews, Chat GPT pick out the month and year for the Brothers to review, this time we land June 1984.. Which turns out to be an amazing month and a very good year. So we have taken the liberty of an extended running time!! You may wish to listen to it in a couple of sittings?! With articles from Smash Hits, discussions on Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson and much more. Improvised podcast, with no scripts and no real direction... Absolutely brilliant!

It has been over a year since the Brothers last graced us with their 80's podcast. Because they are afraid they will both be dead before they can finish the decade, they have refreshed the format. With the help of Chat GPT, the Brothers have allowed technology to choose the year (from the 80's) and month. What follows is a off the cuff review of the month. Looking through a copy of Smash Hits (UK edition) from the month and year. The brothers have gone up in quality with a new professionally made (well, kind of) theme tune which reflects on the decade of the 80's and a wink to the Brothers growing up ... The next episode will be decided by Chat GPT and we will be reviewing two Horror films, as selected during this episode. This podcast is definitely worth a listen, even if it is to cure your insomnia!!
