Hiatus Announcement

3/28/2019
So, we're going on hiatus for a few months! Don't worry, we're not cancelling the show, we're coming back with a re-tooled and re-jigged format. We really did intend to finish the Harry Potter franchise and make this announcement there, but some things have changed (for the better!) in both of our lives, and it just became too hard. We're sorry about that. Thanks for all your support so far, we hope you're excited for the return. Please, send your ideas and feedback for what you'd like to see us do more or less of with the show going forward. See you in a few months! Ben and Jackson

Episode 41: SUSAN BONES!

2/28/2019
Twiddle dee dee traveller, welcome to my humble abode. Mind the fizznicks and squashbats, and the pile of shit in the corner. I'm a wizard you see? Perhaps you can rest your feet and ears with some mystical audio, featuring notable ghouls Ben and Jackson receiving an invitation to Hogwarts. Urgh. We're doing Harry Potter, are you happy now? This episode contains some truly appalling global terrorism, wildly irresponsible teachers and Good Charlotte. Are you proud of yourselves?

2/14/2019
Join us for our most peer reviewed episode yet, as marine biologist Taryn joins Ben and Jackson in the lab, for another scoop of the melting ice cream that is Spielberg's 2008 rendition of Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!

1/31/2019
Guess who's back, it's the regular version of this podcast! We're doing Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), directed by Steven Spielberg, picked from the brain of George Lucas, surgically removing some of the more troubling elements.

Episode ???: Dive Into The Deadstream

1/17/2019
Ben, Jackson and Grace are back at you with another episode outside of the official canon. We’ve destroyed the timeline much like Boris Karloff’s titular character and his desire to end Christmas in The Grinch (1966). Get your nog happening (in mid Jan?) and have yourself a merry podcast, filled with the rise of the proletariat, made up Latin and all powerful Xmas deities. Check our style out!

Episode 37: Shaken Not Stirred: Part Three

12/6/2018
How the bloody hell are ya? We're back with another bond flick, this time featuring the fair dinkum George Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). We're here with old mate (Thomas Owen) and if I can be frank, we're not here to fuck spiders. Don't reckon I have to tell ya twice that this here is a ripper of a film, so shake up a tinnie and let's get started. We also yarn about time travel, job prospects for Olympic skiers, and shattering the fourth wall of the franchise forever. Check our style out!

11/22/2018
We get it, you're busy grinding on that 9-5 life. We understand. So why not kick back and sample something a little lighter, a little less filling. We're back with another funsize episode for y'all, this time skimming through not one, but two trailers of The Wicker Man (1973 & 2006). Follow us to this spooky little village where we can dance with pagan furries, drum along with our percussive guitars, and marvel at one of the most poorly thought out names in cinema history.

Episode 35: I'm Joe Grizzly, Bitch, with Grace Chapple!

11/8/2018
We're clinging onto that spooky pumpkin flavour for our comeback, this time vivisecting Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of Halloween. Prepare for a whole lot less suspense and a massacre of chopping, popping and locking as Curio hall of famer Grace Chapple leads Ben and Jackson through this particular haunted house. Notable spooks include the crime-fighting capabilities of child psychologists, the boiling point of ethyl alcohol, and the cinematic aftershocks of Spy Kids ( 2001). Check our style out!

Episode 32: [Tarzan Yells]

9/27/2018
Sweet listener, beware this auditory gift. This is a cursed episode, with a history of murder. But! If that doesn't scare you away, why not burrow in and chat with us about the 1999 Disney animated film, Tarzan! This week we tackle a whole range of wild topics, such as Brooklyn accents in an African jungle, defeating the spirit of British colonialism and the unending quest for Phil Collins to sing throughout this movie.

8/16/2018
Huh, well if isn't the ace degenerate. You got a lot of nerve coming into this place. But, while you're here, you may as well have a seat and enjoy this week's fresh serving of deconstructed movie trailers.

Greetings young acolyte, won't you step into our ghoulish castle? Take a seat and enjoy a devilish drop of some form of spooky liqueur by this most mysterious fireplace, and pledge your allegiance to the all seeing eye! Internet memes aside, this week we're talking about Simon West's 2001 adaptation of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

Episode 28: Trust Me, I Killed Everyone, with Reinette Roux!

7/19/2018
There are two sides to every story. And in the case of Len Wiseman’s 2012 remake of Total Recall, there are also two different cuts of the movie. You better believe Reinette Roux is in the mix, dropping bombs about lazy design concepts, imdb gun enthusiasts and the dulcet tones of Original Colin Farrell. Check our style out!

Episode 26: The Official David Knell Fancast

6/21/2018
Best known for his roles as a goofy, callow youth in films like Spring Break, Splash, Total Recall, and Turner and Hooch, David Knell is a veteran in the industry with a career that spans over three decades. He appeared on Broadway in his teens in Liz Swados' "Runaways" before making his screen debut in "Life on The Mississippi," playing the young Mark Twain. Over the years David has performed in countless television series and commercials, in regional theatre around the country, and often works behind the scenes as an editor, camera operator, and assistant director. In this episode of Still Interested, Ben and Jackson discuss the man, the myth and the legend that is David Knell, through the lens of Paul Verhoeven's 1990 film: Total Recall.
