The Marvel Vs DC movie mash-up- 'The Incredible Hulk' commentary

Well, we didn't like him when he was Ang Lee, so will we take to him this time?

Yep, the Mash-up is striking back this month as we cast our gaze towards the second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the semi-oddity that is 'The Incredible Hulk'. Arguably the black sheep of the Marvel family, here we have a film that had significant disputes behind the scenes involving star Ed Norton, director Louis Leterrier and the bigwigs over at Marvel who, wishing to avoid the ponderous tone of the widely criticised 2003 'Hulk', wanted to bring home a lean, action packed adventure that would reinstate the Hulk in the minds of cinema goers en masse.

So, who won in the big dispute (I think you can guess) ? Does the film shake off the shackles of the Ang Lee/Eric Bana attempt? To put it simply, is it Hulk Smash...or Hulk Gash?

Mad Men - 'The Strategy' commentary

Boys and gals, we're almost at the day when we say goodbye to our good pals at 'Sterling Cooper Rodney and King' for yet another year - and what a (half) season it's been, densely packed and with so much to discuss we've barely been able to keep the podcast anywhere near a reasonable length!

Well, it's not letting up this week, as we were delivered another meaty treat, with the much desired emphasis on the legend that is Pete Campbell, the return of master of disguise Bob Benson and finally, finally, finally the reconciliation of Don and Peggy.

Can we start to guess where the show is going? Will Bob Benson marry Salvatore? Will Don and Peggles start a dancing agency? The only way to find out is to tune in to WHINECAST before it's too late!

WHINECAST- 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' review

We ALL know the Marvel Vs DC Movie Mash-up, right? Well, get ready for the Proper Amazing Casts Mash-up!

Yep, we've got critical darlings and box office goliaths spilling out all over the place this week, as the X-Men franchise returns to our screens with 'Days of Future Past', taking the beloved cast from the original trilogy and smashing them together with the Sex and Talent team that is the First Cast ensemble.

Combine that with the return of original director and alleged playa Bryan Singer, plus the adaptation of a much loved comics storyline and we've got the potential for something very special indeed. But can the film deliver? Is the huge cast ably serviced? Does the franchise continue its slow slog towards redemption? Will they explain why Xavier is alive?

SO many questions and, we can assure you, SOME of them will be answered in the below podcast!

WHINECAST and Goats in the Machine review 'Godzilla'!

Last weekend, something momentous happened.

The streets shook. Buildings shifted. Rubble fell. People screamed. Yes, it's true, WHINECAST's @ChrisSykes108 took a journey up to Eden Burg in The Scotch Land and joined @RJBayley of goatsinthemachine.wordpress.com to review the hulking goliath currently smashing it's way through cinemas worldwide - GODZILLA.

Yep, the king of monsters is back and this time he left Matthew Broderick at home. But is this a good thing? Does Gareth Edwards deliver the goods and bring everyone's favourite behemoth back to life for a new generation? Well, lay back, place a facemask on, do some light Smack and then drift off into a world of lizard based discussion as we start levelling some skyscrapers!

'Godzilla' Review

WARNING - because he's a right proper idiot, at the 35 minute mark, @ChrisSykes108 drops a pretty major spoiler, so watch yourself, for God's sake!

Mad Men - 'The Runaways' commentary

Holy smokes! I'm not a cigarette man, but if I was, I'd be smoking myself silly right now, trying to come to terms with a densely packed nipple of TV's Mad Men, one that's going to require a couple of well bred, well educated and well watered hombres to sit down and hash out what the nipple this all means!

We've got ourselves group sex popping off like filthy champagne, we've got pregnant nieces stinking up our nipple apartments, we've got Lou the Worst doing everything he can to retain his title of The Worst, there's Don making the biggest Don Draper Playa Move for eons and amidst all this there's an elephant in the room - an elephant that looks a lot like someone's tit in a box.

Get out while you can!

Mad Men - 'The Monolith' commentary

A wise man once said 'The times they are a-something something'. Well, he was sure right in respect to this week's episode, as nothing says Father Time better than throwing out all your creative folk (useless hippie slacker types - amirite?) and replacing them with The Matrix 9000, a computer so sophisticated it can accurately predict all the woman Don will ever sleep with.

But aside from a new technological marvel entering the corridors of 'Sterling, Cooper and Someone' we have an even more impressive arrival at the agency - Don's seething resentment! Will our plucky hero be able to swallow the Shit Sandwich put together for him by the partners, this week seasoned with a side of Peggy Superiority? Will he be able to stick to the stipulations laid out for him upon his return to the company, staying off the booze and away from clients?

No. No he won't. 

But don't write off Donny D just yet, as WHINECAST charts our favourite ad man's leap onto the carousel of destiny that will either leave him standing above Lou's de-spined corpse like the Predator, or hanging around Grand Central like a high class rent boy. Which will it be? Listen in to find out!

Mad Men - 'Field Trip' commentary

Once again, we're returning to the hallowed halls of 'Sterling Cooper Draper and Friends Incorporated' for another week of advertising the shit out of all those products - and it turns out we're not the only ones!

Yes, this episode finally sees Donny D get off his ass, stop flying around the country like Jack Shepherd and decide to try and get the hell back to work, but Lou the Worst, Cutler the Ghost and basically the entire upper staff of the agency aren't gonna make it easy for our beloved Dick Whitman.

So, can Jon Hamm make basically sitting around looking increasingly frustrated into an engaging episode of television? I think you know the answer

Mad Men - 'A Day's Work' commentary

WHINECAST gets deeper than ever into our '69 experience (Ey-oh!) as 'Mad Men' continues its season 7 run with episode 2, 'A Day's Work' an episode that initially seems quite low key, but upon examination has some extremely major shifts for many of our key characters, leaving us salivating as to where Weiner and pals plan to take Sterling Cooper and friends over the coming months.

We've got tantrums and racism in the office, sex, sun and sullenness in LA and high emotions on the road as everyone's favourite Draper Duo play a game of trying to mirk each other good and proper.

Does this episode leave Don with a glimmer of hope for the future? Will Roger retreat further into a pit of hedonistic isolationism? Will Dawn become president? All of these questions and more will be answered (or possibly addressed) in this week's commentary/review!

'A Day's Work' Commentary

WARNING - We've tried our best to solve the audio issues that plagued last week's episode, but we always want to improve, so if you have any comments, feel free to tweet up a storm and find us via @billowl and @ChrisSykes108

The Marvel Vs DC movie mash-up- 'Iron Man'

Goodness!

After almost a year of podcasting about the various antics of the caped crusader and that bloke of steel, we're finally ready to put some Marvel into this Marvel Vs DC Mash-up!

Yep, we're kicking off the next stage of the project by turning our eyes to the very first instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, when The Avengers was but a hopeful dream and we all had endured fewer Loki fangirls. But before we get there, we have the curious first entry, Jon Favreu's 'Iron man', a 2008 release that took a comparatively lesser known character like Tony Stark and brought him up to the very biggest of leagues, kicking off a series of films that continue to pummel us relentlessly.

So, sit down with a fine brandy, possibly a cigar, and get ready to fiddle about with things in your workshop until you've got yourself the makings of a leviathan cinematic franchise!

Mad Men - 'Time Zones' commentary

Well hello!

Last week saw the return of 'Mad Men' to our TV screens, a show that we at WHINECAST hold with great, great affection. So, with the show finally beginning the first part of its final season, we thought what better way to celebrate than to record a weekly review/discussion/commentary for each episode as it airs, discussing our thoughts on the turbulent life and times of those at 'Sterling Cooper Draper Olsen Pryce is right and Friends'

So, listen in as we debate the show's focus on the final year of the sixties, the impending reign of Nixon, the personas that our various beloved characters erect for themselves and, of course, whether you truly can cure alcoholism by sitting in the cold!

We've taken the commentary approach this time round, but we've gone to pains to make it a podcast you can enjoy just as a discussion if you don't wish to watch along. However, if you're not a fan of the commentary format and feel our future 'Mad Men' centric podcasts should be flat out reviews then be sure to tweet us on @ChrisSykes108 and @billowl and let us know.

We hope you enjoy!

Mad Men- 'Time Zones' commentary

WARNING - As for our recent review of 'The Winter Soldier' we've experienced some audio issues this week with our recording, resulting in there being less clarity than usual. Rest assured, we're looking into new recording equipment and will endeavour to avoid this happening again.
