Welcome to the home page of The Black Dog Podcast.

Join Lee, Darren, Jim and Elton as they waffle, wonder and jabber on about film, geek news, video games and any other tangential rubbish that springs to mind. Before reviewing a movie from yesteryear removing either the Rose-Tinted Specs or a Shit-Covered Goggles, to see if the film was really as good (or bad) as popular opinion would have you believe.

This week Jim is off with the lurgy but eltons woes with Facebook Marketplace continues with his newly acquired "Pppppffffftttpppllpppppp" guitar pedal. Darren doubles down on zombie action playing Last of Us and Dead Island. While Lee finishes Andor, finally catches up with Thunderbolts* and binge watches the Disney+ show Paradise. 

After that we deal with A LOT of Last Voyage of the Demeter feedback and take time to answer (in a roundabout way) what we think our favourite post credits scene is.

Then finally we review this weeks film. A dark quirkily humourous biopic / fantasy based around Frank Sidebottom or a "mental illness is a superpower" movie? We shout CHINCHILLA! as we review Michael Fassbender as Frank. 

Media discussed this week
Thunderbolts* - Cinema Release
Dead Island 2 - PC
Last of us - TV and PC versions
Paradise - Disney+
Andor - Disney+
Frank - Channel 4 on demand
