Can I Pod With Madness
@podwithmadness.bsky.social
Can I Pod With Madness is a podcast in which we meticulously review a copy of Kerrang! or Metal Hammer, from the EIGHTIES (or occasionally the early 90s). https://linktr.ee/podwithmadness
We try to keep this podcast generally positive, cos we don't want this thing to be just two people droning on about things that suck, because who needs that? Having said that, this one's about Nickelback. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/nickelback...
1. Stop saying gummi 2. Stupid sexy Flanders! 3. Hello? Human Fly here! 4. Maya Angelou is black?? 5. I'm sorry what?
The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head 1. So I says to Mabel, I says 2. They had banished the awful lemon tree forever, because it was haunted. 3. Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? 4. He had one day left until retirement 5. MENDOZA
This is from Spider-Man The Icon, published in 2007. So come on lads, where's the Power Pack movie?
It's Robert Plant's birthday. I was once at a show where he (mildly) berated the audience for not knowing The Lemon Pipers, and I respect that level of pedantry from a Golden God. Happy Birthday Percy!
Mrs PWM had this boardgame back in the day and we've dug it out in recent years, and it's pretty fun. Did a bit of googling and found that the reverse of the board is a playable record and its only bloody Master & Servant isn't it. This is not mentioned anywhere on the box.

"We've got this concept for the 13-20 year olds where we show them loads of things named after food on a plate." "And will it be things relevant to their age demographic in late 1993?" "....sure."

Bit ageist to suggest Granny can't be a perv too!
Okay, there is clearly a co-ordinated PR campaign in play for the pervert glasses.

Christopher Timothy profiled in Buddy (7th August 1982)
Listening to How Did This Get Made on the 'two girls stuck up a phone tower' movie, Fall, and they've already referenced the 'two girls stuck in a shark cage' movie, the 'Blake Lively stuck on a rock in the sea' movie and the 'three people stuck in a cable car" movie, and I'm like yep, seen 'em all.
Watching extremely old episodes of Would I Lie To You and seeing if we can spot sexual chemistry between Victoria Coren and David Mitchell. They're the original Tom and Zendaya.
Mostly because I was in the middle of a tense, spooky level and someone threw a rock at my window.
Name a videogame that actually scared you.
Spoilers for Spider-Man Brand New Day: MJ listens to Brian Eno.
So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
NEW Stewart Lee column ‘Jokes’ like the one Zack Polanski shared on social media only help Farage deflect scrutiny www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...
Germans by Udo Lindenberg has been hidden, mouldering in my memory since I saw this in 1986, and now it's back forever.
40 YEARS AGO TODAY: the videos on Max Headroom are such an eccentric selection, including the never to be entirely wiped from your mind Rats On A Budget by Majka Jezowska, that Max doing his thing between them seems like the voice of reason.

This week we’re looking (back) at Kerrang Kontaktz, the Magazine Written By Rock Fans - or alternatively, a lazy money for old rope exercise in which some long rambling letters get published in full. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/pwm31-garf...
Eternal thanks to Dirk for allowing me to indulge my fantasies of being a contributor to White Dwarf circa 1987.

Stay classy Steve. Aerosmith fully in their Wilderness Years at this point (meanwhile Joe Perry is out on his own, probably recording that Buzz Off song, or something). I'm convinced Tyler is using a hose here. You couldn't do that these days cos of woke. podwithmadness.podbean.com/e/kerrang-oc...
Simonson's Thor. "This issue - what do you call a fighting mad 6 foot 6 thunder frog?" Imagine wandering into your newsagent and seeing THAT with no knowledge of how we got there...
Everyone saying you need to do homework to understand what's going on in a Marvel movie or whatever clearly never grew up reading comics when you'd take whatever was in the newsagents that week, that threw you in at the deep end with a editor's note that didn't even make sense.
