  • Now that's what I call 'Slashing Budgets' - The Infamous 'Roar' Film
    Dec 15 2025

    The most dangerous movie ever made. Probably not a title you really want, but once you hear this story you'll realise it was all but inevitable. This week John takes Aaron and Sean through the crazy story of the film that was inspired by a house over-run by wildlife - Roar. Also a quick note - we won't have an episode next fortnight as we take a break for a busy Christmas period.

  • Priviledge Doesn't Make You A Good Guy - Puyi, China's Last Emperor
    Nov 17 2025

    Sometimes the crazy guy cleaning the street telling you he's a former Emperor isn't so crazy after all. This week join us as Sean takes Aaron and John through the story of the last Emperor of China, Puyi. Listen as he spends his formative years in a strange life, then his middle years in exile, then his final years being reprogrammed by the new regime and then in hiding.

    Also, please don't ever assume the crazy guy telling you he's a former Emperor is actually former Emperor. He's not.
