  • Time Bandits (1981) with Simon Eilbeck (Hot Mess)
    Oct 3 2024

    Simon Eilbeck, Hot Mess DJ and queer dance party king, joins us to discuss this bizarre and boisterous beast of a film with one of the wildest endings we've ever seen.


    Evil washing lines, jaunty George Harrison, diva antics, exploding dogs, Sean Connery impressions, philosophical questions and atmospheric smoky cinemas await. But not Baldrick.


    We share our thoughts on the film and its themes, some behind the scenes gossip, delve into the nightmarish moments and dream up some ridiculous merch. What do we think of the recent Apple TV series? Listen and find out!
