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 preps for christmas booze and enjoys a trip to Derry Maine while disparing at the discourse around the show. Elton has a major "up moment" hanging out with chill musicians. Darren laments the cost of everything and seems fairly non plussed at the new Doctor Who spin off show. While Lee, gets banned from Reddit for saying naughty words about the Fanta Menace, enjoys an interactive cartoon game and travels to a pub in Bristol to teach people to paint robins in a pub. 

After that we all get our gym wear on and try to awkwardly look anywhere but the screen when our partners are in the room as we review The Substance.
