  • S1E69 - A Complete Unknown, Nosferatu and Marilyn Manson Unmasked
    Feb 6 2025
    Episode Notes

    In what might be their last hurrah for a while, our heroes present a rogues gallery to send them off. This week they have Bob Dylan, Nosferatu, and what could be described as what you might get if Bob Dylan and Nosferatu were to somehow reproduce: Marilyn Manson.

    First up it's mustachioed, undead bloodsucker, Count Orlok, a.k.a. Nosferatu. Will Robert Eggers horror epic give Lorraine and Will the fear? Can Will get past Orlok's clumsy ultimatum?

    Next is tiresome shock-merchant, Marilyn Manson, who has been up to what can only be described as fairly unsurprising behaviour. Channel 4's 3-piece documentary boils our heroes blood to the point where Count Orlok himself would burn his tongue on it!

    Finally, Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown rounds off this trio. Can Timothee Chalamet pull off the job of inhabiting the most cantankerous and obtuse musicians of all time?

    This may be our last show for a while. We've had a great time doing it and we hope to be back at some point.

    Thanks to NEAR FM.ie for having us, and as Dylan himself said "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".

  • S1E68 - Better Man and Babygirl
    Jan 23 2025
    Episode Notes

    This week our heroes are talking about men and girls. Men in the form of Robbie Williams and his monkey-centric biopic (with a soft 'o' for Lorraine) and then kink-shaming drama, Babygirl, starring Nicole Kidman.

    Better Man has already come up short at the American box office but will Lorraine and Will let Robbie entertain them one last time on the show (he's been on A LOT)?

    Next up is kink-shaming drama, Babygirl. Nicole Kidman is the sexually-repressed CEO of a robotics company (yes, really. The symbolism is that heavy-handed) and Harris Dickinson is Samuel, a young intern who is surprisingly good at making attacking animals submissive (yes, it really is that heavy-handed).

    When his perv-radar goes off on Nicole Kidman, sparks fly and she ends up being incredibly harshly judged and punished.

    There's no room for kink-shaming in Pop Filter. Unless kink-shaming is your kink. Then they'll let it slide.

    Enjoy!

  • S1E67 - Best of 2024
    Dec 26 2024
    Episode Notes

    Well, it's that time of year again and our heroes at Pop Filter are celebrating their most productive year of podcasting ever. What better way to celebrate than with a big tub of Heroes and a recap of Lorraine and Will's pop culture highlights of the year. They even sneak one last mini-review in as they give their thoughts on pope-drama, Conclave. Talk about a stocking filler! Happy Christmas to everyone who listened or downloaded this year. But only those people! Everyone else is getting a piece of coal for Christmas. See you all next year. Lorraine and Will.
