The Pod Files - Monday May 22 2023

Monday night was a busy one, and I should probably stop expecting myself to listen to shit loads of shows, but instead be more realistic, almost expecting less.  

The ‘casts -

(Notes spoken to Siri, and edited later if I remember)

Stew World Order - (0:35) Episode 65: May 22 2023: Stew chats with Todd from the podcast Don’t Tell The Wife I’m A Cult Leader to discuss the comic book related film Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito, and Christopher Walken. Directed by Tim Burton. Danny DeVito‘s penguin. Michelle Pfeifer’s iconic Catwoman. Licked back to life. Walken’s character Max Shrek - I remember back in the day thinking he was superfluous for the most part. 

Jacked Up Review - (0:26) season 7 episode 73: May 22 2023: Sully is joined by Giancarlo from Science Fiction Remnant Podcast to discuss why the band Massive Attack are still freaking awesome. I wish I had known this was being recorded, because I love this band. Message to the guys - Shari Nelson, Tracey Thorn, Tricky, and others were all guests who have other careers. For instance, Tricky has released some superb hip hop, and Tracey Thorn is the lead singer for the superb Everything But the Girl. Making music for films under the pseudonym of 100 sons. Robert Del Naja has worked with Thom Yorke of Radiohead. I’ll take it from what they are saying that Massive Attack weren’t that known in the US for a good number of years, because I remember singles from their first albums, such as the title track to Protection and the superb Unfinished Sympathy. They’ve had numerous hit singles in the U.K., I believe including two number ones?
