Faces For Radio

The boys are back at it after an extended winter break (includes spring and half of summer) with a packed show during Lockdown. Reviews of Amazon Prime shows, Upload and Future Man, with an extended Wrong Dragon's Den section, with some very, very funny inventions.

Faces For Radio returns for a fourth season. Six months since the final episode of Season 3, the boys have come together during the global lockdown, to bring joy, tears, mirth, and flatulence to the comedy world. Here's a taste of things to come, or 1m 47s of your life you won't get back, depending on how you look at it...

In this, the penultimate episode of Season 3, our hosts talk about Butlins and Climate Change, in the same sentence. There's an insight into reality TV dating show, Naked Attraction, and an extended version of Wrong Dragon's Den, which this week proves too much for all three of them, as they collapse into hysterics in a Faces For Radio first. Welsh Alexa becomes a focal point before the conversation meanders into Movies and remakes, which rounds the whole episode off nicely.

This week's episode features and in-depth review of the Neil Armstrong biopic, First Man. There's lots of talk about new technology and space, some meaningless chatter about roller coasters, and a first look at the new Amazon graphic novel adaptation, The Boys. This week also sees the introduction of Wrong Dragon's Den, a new section designed to look at inventions that would typically be horribly wrong. And the whole thing is kicked off with three minutes of digitising toilets.

This week, Tim is injured in a suspected drug/people smuggling incident with his (second) briefcase. In order to continue with the show, Dan and Phil had literally nothing to do to improve upon the usual dross, but that does not detract from the genius idea to telephone Tim's wife and play a bit of a prank on the unsuspecting Tim. There's chat about Canadian Currency being "Spocked", Black Squirrels, Ozzy Man, Donald Trump's memory and lots more.

Episode 2 of Season 3 brings a lot of laughter and silliness, with tales of School Buses and things being waved. The trio discuss Chavvy kids, The Fifa Women's World Cup, the offside rule, Radiohead, U2, and a lot more. There's exploration of masculine lubricant too. Imagine that... Phil has a rant about mobile phone use and Audi Pre-sense, Tim says 9 words, and CakeTin joins us on the phone from Portland. There's the usual chat about Netflix and Amazon.

In this, the season 3 opener, we have a show packed with laughter and more than a little incredulity. The show starts with a quick catch up on the last few months since Season 2 ended, without an ending, and the boys talk about new equipment, rubber hand sharks, The Meg, Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, Pacific Rim, Godzilla, and other monster movies. Unusually we have a long section dedicated to Netflix Trending - this week, Beyond The Curve - a documentary about people that believe the Earth is flat. Yes, really. There's some more talk about telly, and the show ends with a thrilling (hilarious) tale of mobile phones on aeroplanes.

Season 3 is finally here! Here's a quick glimpse of what's to come over the coming months....

This week, our three idiots talk a LOT about movies, including reviews of the new Netflix Special, Polar, plus conversations about Miss Sloane, Final Destination 2, TrashHouse - by British Comedy/Horror director, Pat Higgins, Poached Eggs, Foxes and Rabbits, Terminator 2, Bad driving, cinematic soundtracks and a host of other topics which take us through an 85 minute episode where they assume their own Gangster-Rap identities.

The first ever Episode 5 from FFR. Topics include changing names, parachute jumping, AdBlue, Tom Hanks, and Heath Ledger.

In this latest episode, Danny, Phil and Tim swear a LOT, as they list the things in life that irk them, including fun-size Mars Bars, Tim, Tim again, Nando's, Netflix Movie's, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Siri, Brexit news and much more. They discuss Bad Awesome Movies, new production company, and pyjamas.

Siri the comedian comes into play, porn in the hedgerow, Album Artwork, Musical Influences, breaking into Chessington World Of Adventures, getting caught short and managing bad toilets.

Season 2, Episode 2 sees the gang embark upon their first drunken podcast, as an evening down the pub is abandoned for a chicken shed, pizza, a lot of beer and an entire recording studio. This week, on FFR - A review of the new Netflix Release - IO, Epic Tellyboxnessness with the new season of The Grand Tour, lots of childishness inbetween, and the first ever post-credit outtakes aired.

The first episode for a year sees an entire episode dedicated to movies, with discussions around Netflix budgets, Birdbox, Formula One and Star Trek, and a particularly brilliant section on phone boxes, plus a dramatic lifestyle change for Phil and Tim.

This extended Christmas Episode of Faces For Radio features an in-depth review of M. Night Shayamalan movie "Devil", Cropdusting and other Profanisaurus expressions, what would happen if Yoda met John McClane, Dr. Who and political correctness, Santa arrives at the studio, and the world's most childish trio debate the business model of Milk delivery.

In this episode, Tim hates Straight Outta Compton, Phil hates The Core, Danny hates ambulance-chasing cold-callers, and the 3 discuss Babestation, Sponsorship opportunities, other words for boobs, Phil debates the entry method of earth-drilling machinery, and there are several moments only appropriate for visual entertainment. They also share jokes from their children, except Tim, who can only compete by telling his own jokes....

In episode 2, we discuss Hilary Swank, Dwayne, Things that annoy us on Amazon & eBay, how to fly, bad awesome movies, super powers, Trevor the Flamingo and speculation on migratory habits of birds in Luton.

DO NOT JUDGE US ON THIS QUALITY. We basically recorded a meeting to discuss doing a podcast, and then released it as a podcast.... In this episode, the three tackle Music, Smart Phones, Star Wars, Star Trek Discovery & Enterprise, drunkenness and TV Series Mars. Danny Lenihan talks about why Star Wars Battle of Hoth is RUBBISH, Tim McEwan explains why he saved money with Samsung, and Phil Close tells us all about the TV Series, Mars, and his embarrassing drunken tales.
