The Podcast Nobody Asked For

Tv & Film

Frequency: 1 episode/11d. Total Eps: 208

The award-winning Movie & TV podcast that takes ridiculous questions far too seriously.

Ian and Graham each bring three picks before arguing, debating and occasionally compromising their way to an official Top 3.

Expect ridiculous questions, a dog called Bowie and an unreasonable amount of Ari Aster’s Midsommar.

Films We Would Add The Muppets To: Revisited

Episode 177

Thursday, October 22, 2026 • Duration 01:14:45

Not that anybody asked but this week we put on the party hats and fired Gonzo out of a cannon because we’re figuring out our Top 3 Films We Would Add The Muppets To, again. Six years in and we are celebrating the only way we know how, by going back to an old topic and pretending we have new ideas. Which movies would be improved by a bit more felt and a lot more chaos? Should Animal be on the drums for every big finale? And is there any film that couldn’t be fixed by a musical number from Miss Piggy? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect grumpy Knight Rider, Gary The Puppet and magnum opi.

From The Archives - Films We Shouldn't Admit We Enjoyed (Live at The Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival)

Thursday, October 8, 2026 • Duration 01:07:49

Yes, this is an absolutely shameless attempt to get you to buy tickets to our live show which is taking place in Balham on the 18th October. You can buy your tickets here.

Not that anybody asked but last year we grabbed a pint and took to the stage because we were talking about films we shouldn't admit we enjoyed live on stage at The Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival. It was a fantastic experience and was the first of at least two.. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect The Girl From Ipanema, the surprising apperance of Ian's mum and a good, old fashioned clap-o-meter.

Needle Drops That Worked Surprisingly Well

Episode 176

Thursday, September 24, 2026 • Duration 01:30:40

Not that anybody asked but this week we dropped the needle and turned it up to eleven because we're figuring out our Top 3 Needle Drops That Worked Surprisingly Well. Sometimes a director takes a song you've heard a thousand times, sticks it over a scene it has absolutely no business being in, and it becomes impossible to hear it any other way. Which unexpected soundtrack choices turned out to be pure genius? Which ones made a cheerful pop hit deeply sinister, or a fight scene weirdly emotional? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect whipping your tonsils out for someone, the nunchuck of knives and the extent of our NIN knowledge.

The Benny Special (with Joaquin Pedro Valdes)

Episode 175

Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 57:39

Not that anybody asked but this week we're all singing and all dancing. Back in episode 21 (over 2,628,000 minutes ago) we argued our Top 3 "Villains Who Have A Point" and nearly had a momentous falling out as Ian went to bat for Benny from Rent. The debate was never settled, so this week we brought in the man himself. We're joined by the incredible Joaquin Pedro Valdes, newly cast as Benny as Rent returns to the West End for its 30th Anniversary. Expect Shinigami, Shakespearean lions and whether the Scorpions had a point on Thunder Road.

Rent is playing the Tom Stoppard Theatre from the 26th September. You can buy your tickets here.

Movies Most Changed By Replacing One Word With Another

Episode 174

Thursday, August 27, 2026 • Duration 01:20:25

Not that anybody asked but this week we grabbed the thesaurus and started swapping the subtitles because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies Most Changed By Replacing One Word With Another. One tiny tweak to a title can turn a beloved classic into something completely unrecognisable, or somehow make total sense in a way it never should. Which single-word swaps cause the most chaos, the biggest laughs, or the most unsettling improvements? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect the magical football bush Bowie likes to hide in, not letting Ian buy a chainsaw and Forgetful Daddy

Movies That Should Have A Video Game

Episode 173

Thursday, August 13, 2026 • Duration 01:22:12

Not that anybody asked but this week we blew into the cartridge and mashed the reset button because we're figuring out our Top 3 Movies That Should Have A Video Game. Hollywood loves a tie-in, but somehow the good ones always get left on the cutting room floor while we're stuck button-mashing through licensed disasters instead. Which films are crying out for a janky adaptation, a cheat code and an ill-advised escort mission? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a good use of "skulking, power-washing the shape of a phallus into the side of a digital van, and The Great Mosquito Massacre

Places We Would Want To Screen A Movie

Episode 172

Thursday, July 30, 2026 • Duration 01:23:45

Not that anybody asked but this week we packed the popcorn and scouted some questionable venues because we're figuring out our Top 3 Places We Would Want To Screen A Movie. Forget your standard multiplex with its overpriced nachos and reclining seats, we're asking where a film would truly hit different. Does a horror movie need a location that's already trying to kill you? Would a war film play better somewhere the history actually happened? And is there a spot so perfect for a screening that it might just ruin cinemas forever? What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect watching the Emoji Movie the mirror of a rental car, sexual union and The Collected Works Of Pops: A Study Of Prompts and Consequences, vol 1.

The Midsommar Special Goes Forth with Zoe Hegedus (From The Archives)

Thursday, June 25, 2026 • Duration 01:36:32

We’re heading back into the daylight nightmare to revisit grief, cults, questionable relationships, and one of the most uncomfortable group holidays ever committed to film. If you missed them first time, now’s your chance. If you’ve heard them already, you probably need the closure.

Originally released 27/6/24

Not that anybody asked but this week we preheated the aga and started to ferment some herring because we're once again talking about Midsommar. This year our special takes on a culinary twist as we look into the food of the film as well as interview the incredible Food Stylist Zoe Hegedus who's work has appeared in films such as Dune, Poor Things and our favourite folk horror movie. Expect menstruation cocktail humour, a porridge pie for second breakfast and 10,000 hours of gnocchi

You can find the trailers for our choices, and other things referenced, on this youtube playlist.

You can find out more about Zoe and her incredible work at here website www.zoehegedus.com

Our episode on our Top 3 Movie Meals can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 01:52:04

Originally released 22/6/23

Not that anybody asked but this week we pulled out our paint brushes and headed to Halsingland because we're talking about Midsommar, again. This year we were lucky enough to be joined by Nille Svennsson, one of the film's art directors, who spoke to us at length about his involvement in the movie and all things art. Expect codeine, non-Swedeish flowers and dancing until you're skeletons.

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 02:09:48

Originally released 23/6/22

Not that anybody asked but this week we applied our sunscreen and avoided the pie because we're talking, again about the modern horror masterpiece Midsommar.
