Stacey’s Pop Culture Parlour

Grab a bit of cake and pop a candle in it folks; it's The Parlour's 14th birthday! To celebrate, I recorded a wee solo Stace adventure in which I review The Running Man, Die My Love, and The Housemaid, recommend a few other tip-top podcasts for your audio enjoyment, and share the strangest dream I've ever had. Enjoy!
Thank you so much to everyone who has tuned in and supported the show in any way over the last 14yrs; you're all stars and I'm super grateful that you chose to spend some time with me in The Parlour. Cheers!

(It's possibly too late in the month to say it but also rude not to); Happy New Year lovely listeners! This month I have been snowed in and therefore seen and done very little, so you know what that means; it's time to get the ever delightful Ruth Husko back for a bit of a chinwag. As Ruth still hates films, we dive into such topics as whether Arm & Hammer toothpaste is actually any good, actors who are too actor-y for us to suspend our disbelief, the uncanniness of AI generated human faces, body horror, and the best compliments we've ever received. Grab a nice hot bevvy and curl up under a blanket, and enjoy Ruth and I in your ears x

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!

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 all, and welcome to the latest slice of fried audio gold that is Episode 173 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour!

Good news everyone; it's a new episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month I am joined by the utterly marvellous Em of the equally marvellous Verbal Diorama podcast, and boy howdy do we get to talking. Join us as we get our teeth into Superman, I absolutely lose my mind at 28 Years Later, and Em professes her undying love for Clueless.
