TANNHAUSER GATE - EPISODE 20: TOPGUN
We took a couple of years off. Did nothing. And then watched one of the greatest films ever made: Top Gun. Here are our thoughts.

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. Stab-tastic.
A long, long, long time ago in a cinema far, far away Rogue One: A Star wars Story was released - here is our very late podcast on it. That is all.
ITS A TRAP! Its not a trap.
We'll swallow your soul! We'll swallow your soul! We'll swallow your soul - If you don't listen to this SPECIAL Tannhauser gate podcast, in which we are joined by Lee from Chris and Lee's 'Failure To Communicate' Podcast , to talk about one of the best movie trilogies of all time... no not the Big Momma's House Trilogy - The Evil Dead films!!! Groovy.
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
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.
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.
Tell me do you bleed? You will - from the eyes, after watching Zack Snyder’s latest film. Will and I are back, in a super powered podcast episode, with fellow film nerds Dave Byrne and Tom Walker, in our a special Tannhauser Gate Film and TV podcast - in which we we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about where the colon should go in the new Rouge One trailer, Will gets back into the SWING of his introductions, we continue discuss the merits of The Force Awakens, and will Vangelis patch things up with Ridley Scott for the Blade Runner sequel?, Before trying to explain what exactly The Tick is to Tom.

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.
Force-tastic
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.
Will and I celebrate reaching double figure episodes with our tenth Tannhauser Gate film and TV podcast - in which we decide to go all freestyle and thus ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about completely everything in the universe ever, ever.

YES - Thats right we review Mad Max: Fury Road!!! PUNCHTASTIC.
In our sixth Tannhauser Gate film and TV podcast we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about the fact that Will and Jonny are basically unemployed, argue about whether the Cap Amercia films are the best MCU installments, decide that Crossbone's movie armour looks 'Halo' cool, that Martin Freeman would make the perfect Marvel Movie Civil Servant, and that the new Supergirl TV series trailer looks like Ugly Betty smushed together with Smallville (and so, so rubbish too) before eventually we review two American film remakes that did NOT need to be made. Remake Radical.

Fantasy Fantastic.

This podcast is going to tear you apart... from the inside!
In our fourth Tannhauser Gate film and TV podcast we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about the fact that Thor's warrior buddies NEED to be shut down, just what does J.A.R.V.I.S stand for, and exactly what order should you watch ALL the Star Wars films in (preferably leaving out Episode 1) before eventually we review two films twisty turny time travel films. Time-tastic.
In our first ever Special Edition (really special!) MINIsode of The Tannhauser Gate film and TV podcast we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked analysing the Midi-chlorians out of the new Star Wars VII trailer and discuss whether Jedi's can get jiggy, the lack of peripheral vision in a TIE Fighter and that Jonny will be wearing a red Imperial Guard costume when ordering tickets for the film on his computer at midnight. Force-tastic.

Tannhauser Gate film and TV podcast we ramble, pontificate and generally get sidetracked about how on earth can Deadpool bend his arms in X-Men Origins:Wolverine, that Negasonic Teenage Warhead isn’t the catchiest comic book name, the practicalities of Mystique’s nakedness and how Paul Feig and PlayDoh are cynical, horrid people before eventually we review two films where teenagers are coerced into killing the bejeezus out of each other.
