Popshock Podcast S02 E03 Mystery Media

Mystery Media is our topic for the week. Ever saw something as a kid that blew your mind or scarred you for life that you had no idea what it was. The kind of thing that was on randomly and in the pre internet days you had no way to track down? Between the team we have tracked down most of our white whales. But many took me years to find out what they are. (Ger) Have you any Mystery Media that’s haunted you? Any you still haven't found? Comment below and let us know Time codes 00:02:00 Massimos's Marvellous Moustache 00:03:07 When not on the podcast and being fantastic, Massimo and Dan are card carrying journalists. From time to time, we will be releasing interviews the boys have with artists from film, tv and gaming industries on our channel as our new series ‘Popshock Talks’. Massimo got the chance to interview Viggo Mortensen and Solly McLeod at the Glasgow Film Festival where their new film 'The Dead Don't Hurt', had it's European premiere. The film stars Vicky Krieps, the two gents interviewed, and a host of others. Viggo Mortensen, as well as co-starring, directed and wrote the film. It is his second film as both writer, director, and actor after 2020's 'Falling'. We give it a little intro then you’ll see/hear the interview and then Massimo gives his thoughts on meeting a king 00:13:43 And Dan got the chance to speak to Anthony ‘Cut the Check’ Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz about Sony’s Twisted Metal series for his journalist endeavours. Unfortunately we don’t have access to the interview itself but Dan gives us the gossy deets about how it went. Dan also got to talk to JP Karliak who voices Morph on the critically acclaimed X-Men ‘97 for our ‘PopShock Talks’ series. His interview is available on our feed. 00:24:45 Fallout (episode taped prior to the shows release) 00:28:26 Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 00:33:35 Avatar the Last Airbender 00:36:19 Declan Shalvey time before time cut dan random sound effects. 37:30 - 38:0700:39:05 Amazing Spider-man, Ultimate Spider-man and Ultimate X-Men 00:46:15 Outlast Trials 00:57:30 Topic: We discuss our Mystery Medias over the years that it took us an age to track down. To name a few, Phantom of the Paradise, Return to Oz, Journeyman, Sliver Hawks, Storm Hawks, Naked Lunch and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
