Good day to you all, and welcome to Episode 176 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour. This month I am joined by Raging Rich and T.A. Shelano of the Middle-Aged Bodcast for a delightful chat about podcasting, men's mental health, and writing two novels. I get very excitable about Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, Rich is already on the Christmas film train, and T.A. tries to convince me to give Breaking Bad a second try. All this, plus Pluribus, The Chair Company, and...shepherd's pie?! Grab a nice hot drink and enjoy x

OOooooOOOOOoooooOOOO! Welcome one and all to a very special Halloween episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! As well as all the wandering ghosts and scary clowns, I am joined by my very good friends and Never Seen podcast co-hosts, Jenni and Lee, and boy do we have a lot to chat about, spooky season style. Lee climbs atop his soap box for an Alien: Earth rant, Jenni shares her love for They Live, and I lose my mind over a Macaulay Culkin thriller..! All this, plus banned comics, my 31 Day Horror Challenge progress, and the horrors of the perimenopause...
Grab a pumpkin-spiced beverage and enjoy.

It may have been 2 years since we last recorded, but that doesn't mean Duncan and I have lost our Podcast In A Half Shell touch! (And by that I mean you can expect our usual brand of tangent-filled Turtles waffling, specifically this time on Tales of the TMNT). Enjoy!
Big old spoilers for Episodes 1-6 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (plus some minor spoilers for the IDW comics*)

*I am aware that I am a bit wrong in my description of these comics, but it was purposeful so as to not ruin too much for Duncy!

Well hello there, lovely listeners, and welcome to another splendid installment of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month I am joined by my hubby, Rich, and boy do we have a lot to chat about. Reviews include but are not limited to; AEW's Forbidden Door, Hayley Williams' latest album, Twisted Metal, Pavements, Together, Eddington, and loads more!
Pop the kettle on, grab the biscuit tin, and enjoy x
Just a little note here to apologise for the sound in this one; there's some clicking that was down to the creaking of our terrible/old kitchen chairs and table. Lesson learned: no more kitchen podcasting!

Good day to you, my lovely listeners, and welcome to a full-length episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This episode, I am joined by Geeky Brummie's Keith Bloomfield, as we have a chat about what made Thunderbolts* so enjoyable, the glorious daftness that is Final Destination Bloodlines, and whether Alexander Skarsgard is too emotive to be a Murderbot. All this, plus Keith recommends Central Park, we both share some shouty cathartic music, and I don't know what a 'The Rani' is... Enjoy!
