The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow

Help is on the way dear! This week the boys go back to 1993 as they reminisce about thw comedy hit Mrs Doubtfire starring Robin Williams, Pierce Bronson and Sally Field. They talk about their 1st time watching and see if it still stands up today. Tune in and listen poppets.

Gaz and Dange discuss the very best of what this genre had to offer during the 90s, and whether you were there or not, whether you like this kind of music, this episode is well worth a good listen as the guys have a good chat and Gaz loses his mind, which is always worth a listen.

This week we conclude our look at the music and albums Iron Maiden released in the 80s, with Powerslave, Somewhere in time and Seventh Son of Seventh Son, do we agree which songs we like? Tune in and find out, always asking can i really play with madness?

Everyone run to the hills and watch out for the wrathchild who will steal your soul. The lads discuss to their suprise one of both their favorite British metal bands ever...the legendary Iron Maiden. They discuss their albums and songs from the 80s, with even more coming next week....

Watch about, Beadles about...What's about? You may ask, if you're not from these fair isles. Well, you'll have to tune in and have a ruddy good listen won't you, and find out who split the nation with his outrageous behaviour!

Travolta, Cage, Woo the 97 action Sci fi action film, it had it all and the boys dive back in time to remember how they felt about this, Dange gets to speak about his mid to late 90s love of Cage movies and Gaz has some good things to say about this gem of a movie as well.

If you were a child in the early 80s UK, then there's no way you missed this wholesome gem aimed at children who were a little different from the rest. So settle in, reattach a leg and spin your head the right way round as you listen to the boys review this lost classic.

Back in the 80s a game show came along called Family Fortunes that became a favourite of families across the country. From Bob Monkhouse to Les Dennis, the boys reminisce about the show and memories of the time.

Ooh er, it's one of the greatest, if not the greatest, medical dramas of all time up for the TIDRP treatment this week. The boys are thrilled and ready to spill their guts, but there's no Dr Greene to put them back together this time. It's possibly their longest chat ever, so tell your loved ones you'll be late and get ready for a long shift centred around Cook County General Hospital!

In this show, Dange picks his 12 best Whitney songs and the boys discuss and review the songs to see if they agree or not, along with all the other fun that can be jammed packed into a 2 hour show.

All for one and more for you to enjoy in the season 5 premiere of The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow. Hotdiggity, it's great subject, the boys are excited to be back and there's the usual insights, in-jokes and insanity that you've come to expect 👍

Gaz is knackered. He's literally breathing fluid at this point. He can't speak properly or laugh, but he's going to give it a good go. He'll do better next year, I suspect 👍

Faster than a speeding Spuggy, Gaz flies through his 1st bonus episode about the BBC teen drama Byker Grove. It's not your usual Gaz, he's full of covid, so he does actually stop to breathe(ish) occasionally!

Whatever happened to The Mysterious Cities Of Gold? Did you watch it? What clanger has Gaz dropped? Where can I find this thing? All these questions, plus more, possibly answered, but also possibly not. Tune in anyway!

On this bonus Episode Dange discusses his love of the 1993 Mariah Carey album music box, he discusses his other favourite Mariah albums and what lead him to be a fan.

Dange's 2nd bonus show focuses on his love the the 1991 action comedy Suburban Commando starring Hulk Hogan and Christopher Lloyd, yes this isn't an award winner or even a classic but little Dange loved this movie.

This seasons over and the totally TIDRP bonus shows are back, in this quick episode Dange discusses his love for the game show Going for Gold, how the show flowed and what it was all about.

The truly brilliant animation that has been captivating children for almost 30 years is getting the TIDRP treatment in the second of their Christmas specials. There's a whole load of segments to keep you entertained and, hopefully, coming back for season 5 in 2024.

Snow is failing all around us, children playing having fun...those were the days. This week we talk about one of the forgotten Christmas classics from the UKs best selling artist of the 80s, Sir Shakin' Stevens. With a bumper packed 1st Christmas show of the season...enjoy

Could this be any more exciting? It's taken a few years, but the boys have finally gotten round to a Friends episode. Rather than a top 10 episode type show, the guys discuss the background of the show, who almost played the gang instead and defend it against those who would seek to criticise it unnecessarily. And because they forgot to mention it in the show, I'd just like to say "PIVOT, PIVOT, PIVOT!!!"

Ahhh, the humble analogue tape cassette. Where would a generation or two of kids and young people be without you? To prove it's worth beyond being a prop in a horror movie, the boys decided to pay homage to the VHS and gush about simpler days and ways. Get ready to rewind in time!

Hello Benders! Welcome to the world's first and only electronic comic. I wish that were true...but instead what you're left with is a giggling and giddy Gaz and Dange as they sift through the hours of puns, wordplay and anarchy that was Round The Bend. Why was it so popular, why was it so unique and why was it cancelled? 80s/90s UK kids TV wasn't all pink hippos and plasticine postmen, there was a subversive side too! This is a MUST HEAR episode if you fancy a good laugh. Alright me old son, press the plahay button!

How did they go all this time without bringing this up? The boys cover the greatest Australian film of all time and discuss what makes it so. And only one mention of a knife too!

It's the (perhaps, maybe, officially/unofficially) 4th Halloween Special for TIDRP! The guys get a special guest on who knows a thing or two about horror films to have a discussion with Dange as Gaz herds cats blindfolded. It's a super fun and interesting episode as the lads discuss the great genre of horror from the top to the bottom of the two greatest decades. Don't miss out!

A borderline insane man in impossibly bright clothes says Blaaahhh a lot and hits kids in the face with a foam hammer. That's all we wanted, and by jove, we got it! Wacaday was an absolute thrill and the boys are dead excited to chat about this. For Timmy Mallett fans or newcomers, it's a must listen.

Goonies never say die! Or ride up buckets. But they do get dynamite and candles confused, so there is that. It's quite possibly the greatest kids movie ever made, and Gaz is definitely just a little excited. Which Goonie are you? How much do you want to move to Oregon? And can you do the truffle shuffle?

Wanna here the most annoying sound in the world? No, it's not one of our season 1 episodes, TIDRP are covering the 90s hit comedy Dumb and Dumber. Was actually it met with blanket approval? Was the soundtrack up to scratch? Is explosive diarrhoea ever not funny? Tune in and see!

And like that, WHAM! It's been 3 years. Crikey, how time flies, hairlines venture off in search of pastures new and prices rise higher than a skyscraper. TIDRP is still pretty much the same though and we're hoping you'll celebrate with Gaz, Dange and Producer Buddy as they try to unpick how and why we love Wham so much

It's only a game so put up a real good fight, we gonna be snookering you tonight and if understand that, then you're going to want to listen to this episode. It's a great episode about a great show!

And if you'd like know more about what planet Gaz is from, please look at this little red light here....The boys are talking MIB this week, it's the return of Gaz and he's very excited about this subject! Fasten your seat belt, please.

You didnt let the dog in for free did ya? And no we didn't we charged him for Den's extra sausage. This week Lloyd and Dange discuss the 80s comedy scene of the Comic Strip presents. They talk about their favourite episodes featuring Pete Richardson, Ade Edmunson, Rik Mayall and Nigel Planer. TIDRP presents Bad News/More Bad News double feature...enjoy.

Do you remember the match that was canc on this show? Lloyd does, so settle back and listen to Dange and Lloyd revisit the 1994 Wrestlemania 10, the WWF'S biggest event turned 10 years old and there was alot going on and some memorable matches.

Nobody knocks off an old man in my neighborhood and gets away with it. No they don't and no co host is away and leaves Dange by himself. Nope Lloyd is back this week as they talk about the 1989 Tom Hanks movie The Burbs it's a cult classic and this one is a good one.

Paint the whole world with some retro! Or is that rainbow? I don't know, I can't decide which I like better. What I do know is that we can't call ourselves a retro podcast and not cover Rainbow. So settle in and get ready for the usual irreverent, laid back chatter.

This week Gaz is off on holiday and this means Dange is a man down, so he calls on his buddy Lloyd to step in as the discuss the 80s/90s TV Favourite The Wonder Years, with Fred Savage and Danica McKellar. We also have the favourites, Ask Dangerous, What Happened Way Back When and Quotely90s. Settle back and listen...

Good evening, its wonderful to be here again, isn't it Gaz?

I have come here to chew bubble gum and listen to this episode.... and im all out of bubble gum. That's right people, it's another Jim Carpenter film, and this time it's his science fiction social commentary classic They Live. The boys discuss the theme, its stars, and where it belongs in today's society. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

I want to believe....that this is one of the best tv shows of the 90s, and it is! Get involved and get ready for a smashing show with loads of enthusiasm from the boys about everyone's favourite FBI twosome, plus, all the usual segments, insights and laughs!

I love being a turtle...watching retro enthusiast! OK, it's time for your next belly warming helping of TMNT, and this week, it's all about the films that followed the animated series.

Cowabunga dudes! It's a tohterrly mondo episode with loads of radical facts and memories about the comics, '87 cartoon and toys. What are you waiting for? Time to haul shell and press play!

Mmmm, mmm, that is a tasty subject!
Quite possibly one of the finest films of the decade is getting the TIDRP treatment this week. Where do you stand on the chronology? Why aren't more films made like this? Lots of questions and frustrations on this week, and all your favourite segments

No, they're not running out of ideas, Gaz genuinely wanted to talk about music from this year specifically. But why this year? What was so special about 1992? Tune in, enjoy, contact the lads and pass the pod!

It's Saturday night in the 90s and there's only one show that we're all watching. Good old NHP! A pre smart phone and reality TV gem that kept us entertained with games, comedy, pranks and prizes. An absolute smasher of a show and a favourite of Mr Dangerous.

What a wonderful episode the lads have for you this week. Top author and sports writer Ewan Flynn has agreed to come on and chat to us about the best boots and kits from our childhoods. There's an abundance of choices and even more memories to go along with each one. Also, we get to hear Ewan talk further about his book, his life and experiences. It's a great episode, so tune in and kick back 😎👉👉

No, it's not the hideously vomfest, Twilight wannabe from TV, it's the cult 1985 classic with Michael J Fox. It's not a masterpiece, but it brought us so much joy, we had to give it a go. Sink your teeth into this episode and wolf it down!

You'll never grow old Michael, and you'll never die. But you must listen to this episode! The boys discuss this classic with both love and irreverence in their hearts, but where does it stand amongst the classics? All that and the usual segments. Make sure you're wearing a garlic t-shirt, or it's your funeral 🧛‍♂️
