    About this Episode

    A Long Time Ago In A Podcast Far Far Away there were **Star Wars Spoliers** - Will and I are back, in a time and space defying transatlantic podcast episode, with our twelfth Tannhauser Gate Film and TV podcast - in which we we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about Star Wars - The Force Awakens!!! Will Ruins my countdown to introduction, we discuss the merits of snowy beards and falling over during winter sports, ask the important question 'How does Kylo-Ren avoid helmet hair???', we also point out that whoever designs droids is woefully misguided and Jonny completely forgets to mention how the Star Destroyer in the film is called The Finalizer despite writing down how cool that is in his notebook. Oh and lets not forget Skippy - the Jedi Kangadroid.

    TANNHAUSER GATE - EPISODE 19: LOGAN

    Snikt!

    Professor X is using his mind powers to make you want to listen to this awesome 19th Episode of the Tannhauser Gate in which we we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about who would win in a fight between the aforementioned Prof X and Captain Picard, how Jonny likes to smear pizza on his naked sweaty body whilst watching 'Edge of Tomorrow', asking how a log called Anne would perambulate and that Idris Elba gets about a bit - before finally getting all excited about reviewing LOGAN.

    TANNHAUSER GATE - EPISODE 16: MACHETE & SPY KIDS

    Machete don't text. But he does listen to podcasts - and I happen to know for a fact* he listens to this one. And if you Habla inglés you should definitely listen to our 16th Episode of the Tannhauser Gate in which we we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about Jonny's first TED talk, that the Han Solo spin off should be called 'Han: A Solo Movie', and that Will thinks Liev Schreiber is a handsome man before reviewing the 'shared world' Robert Rodriguez films Machete and Spy Kids. So if you don't want to dance the Bolero at the end of a rope I suggest you listen now.**

    *This is not a fact

    ** Just kidding 

    TANNHAUSER GATE - EPISODE 15: OUTLANDER & PREDATORS

    TANNHAUSER GATE - EPISODE 15: OUTLANDER & PREDATORS

    There is no hunting like the hunting of a man. But because we're not mental cases and constrained by those pesky anti 'murder' laws we're here with our 15th highly lethal podcast - in which we we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about how having good grammar is cool, a silly silly person who threw their mobile phone at a brick wall for fun, was Barb sexually assaulted by a demogorgon, that every Star Wars fan theory is just wrong, and that we know nothing about the DC universe before finally reviewing alien hunting films Outlander and Predators. You want to survive? Go listen now.

    TANNHAUSER GATE - EPISODE 14: GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 & STAR TREK BEYOND

    Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end. And logically you should definitely listen to our supernatural,Intergalactic, dilithium powered powered podcast episode, in which we we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about where all the podcasts we've done have disappeared to..., how Will is trying to imitate Aquaman, how Kirk has time-travel-tastic daddy issues, how Wonder Woman actually looks OK as a film, before finally we talk about Ghostbusters 2016 (in an un-misogynistic way, honest) and the cosmic Star Trek Beyond. Well, once again, we’ve saved civilisation as we know it.

    Will and I are finally back with our eleventh Tannhauser Gate Film and TV podcast - in which we decide to link up with fellow podcast 'Chris and Lees' Failure To Communicate' (5 Stars on iTunes) and together we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about which episode number it is exactly we are on, how many deaths are super "heroes" actually responsible for, the vomiting that occurs around Joseph Gordon Levitt and that Chris "borrowed" beer for the podcast. All this before finally getting round to reviewing Pitch (im)Perfect and Contact. 5 STARS I think you'll agree.
