What‘s Our Seat Number?

What's your greatest phobia?

Si and Jonny delve deeply into the weird and baffling world of fear in this week's episode, our first one back in over 3 months!

Are you excited?  Are you hopping up and down with glee?  Are you perspiring with unfettered joy?  Or is it more a case of a subtle raise of the eyebrows and a muttering of "oh, right..." before adding this to a perpetually growing queue of podcast episodes that you won't get ...

Welcome to spooooooky season on WOSN!  This week we reviewed Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, a ghoulish tale of a murdering spectre with a tendency to lop awff the noggin. 

Why does that make Jonny Northern?  No idea.  It just happened.  Best to just go with it.

Along the drawn out way we hit the usual spots - Trivia Corner, VFX Cavalcade of Whatever, Movie News and yet another quiz that had Si scratching his...head.  

So, grab yoursel...

Summer is still here.  It just won't go away.  And yet, we managed a bonus episode to keep you going until such time as we can peel ourselves back up off the floor and get back to it.

This episode is made up of two discussions that unintentionally wound up connecting to each other.  

We talked typecasting, Alan Rickman was mentioned.

A couple of weeks later we recorded, on Si's PHONE ( the shaaaame!) an impromptu discussion on the ...

Si was a bit impatient during this one.  He felt that an episode concerning the movie Speed should run at a brisk pace.

I had other plans, clearly.  I say clearly, because editing this thing during the summer holidays with work and kids on my back, I haven't heard this since we recorded it two weeks ago, so here I am scolding my past self for being, well, annoying.  

The main thing is that it's here.  It managed to pull it's way up...

Last week, the Duke of Buttley and Lord Fartlebee went to see Indiana Jones and the Vial of Density and we recorded this episode in the car on the way home.  While our opinions of the movie haven't changed, fridge logic has now set in and we've found even more holes in it than Sonny Corleone. 

BEWARE, HERE BE SPOILERS.  ARRRRR!

But before we got to that, Si voiced his thoughts on last week's interview with my very special guest (ou...

Hello, and welcome to the new What's Our Seat Number.  No longer the frivolous, whimsical, sarcastic and erotic podcast that you're used to.  Instead we will now approach each subject with serious, sober reflection and a grave, businesslike demenour.  You can call us Fred Austere.  This podcast is now officially dour and funereal.

Right down to that strange hiccuping, burping noise Si made.  He also channels Luis from Ant-Man for s...

You wanna get nuts?  I know a place that sells nuts and many assorted snacks!  Let's get some nuts!

This week's episode is a solo affair, and no, I'm not talking about a middling Star Wars movie...or wanking...I just went to see a film that my partner in pod and biological brother, Si, has not seen.

I took an afternoon off and went to see The Flash by my lonesome.  The film stars intermittently annoying Ezra Miller as the Scarlet S...

In 1980, Superman II was released to great fanfare and adoration, but it was NOT credited to original director Richard Donner.  Donner had in fact been removed from the project halfway through the simultaneous filming of both movies and Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers '73) was brought in to replace him.  The result is vastly different to what was planned.  In 2006 Donner got the chance to unearth his discarded footage and recu...

I'm going to teach you all something very very valuable right now about podcasting.  Prepare yourselves, because these are pearls of wisdom right here.  

The key to having a successful podcast is CONSISTENCY.  

So here we are, willy nilly releasing episodes a couple of weeks apart, a couple of months apart...our last full episode was mid-April...so...yeah.  Consistency.  Always consistency.

Having said that, this episode is a crack...

Here's another bonus episode for you lovely people while we at WOSN er...get our act together.

It's-a us!

In this little amuse bouche, we talk about our kids and, along the way, we perhaps mention Puss in Boots and The Super Mario Bros Movie.  We stopped short of showing pictures of our little ankle biters.  I mean it's a podcast, you wouldn't be able to see them, that's just ridiculous.  

In amongst the movie and tyke-talk, we reg...

Do you know your ABC?  You'd better if Nic Cage is around...

This week, we went see Renfield, a new comedy/horror flick, which would have been just fine on it's own.  Nicholas Hoult is a great actor, the premise - Dracula's familiar in modern day New Orleans joins a support group for the abused - is high concept and funny.  But then you turn away.  Then you blink.  Then someone says "Nicolas Cage IS Draaaaacuuuulaaaa" and that's al...

How many filmmakers does it take to change an SD card?  Why do we keep asking the talent to clap before a take?  Why is there never a craft services trailer on my set?  

All these questions and many, many more that you've always dreamed of asking...won't be answered in this episode.  If you want to ask your own questions please send them to us on our Facebook or Twitter pages.

What we do have on this week's bonus episode is a Q&A s...

This week, we review a PT Anderson-like instant classic about a mother searching for her daughter in the woods, a cop trying to find meaning in life by way of his love for dogs, a ranger trying to keep control of the local thugs, a pair of drug dealers finding friendship amid grief and suffering and...a bear hopped up on cocaine gone on a rampage, ripping anyone who gets in her way limb from limb.

That's right!  It's Cocaine Bear! ...

What's Our Seat Number episodes are like buses. You wait months for one and then two come along at the same time.

Once again, we gift you, free of charge, free of obligation, free of wit or intelligence, a bonus episode of our illustrious, prestigious and presumtuous podcast.

Please enjoy the following prattle - we discuss the one thing that Jonny needs in order to bribe him into jumping out of a perfectly good plane sans spleen, w...

SCREAVI is the new Scream movie, bucking the trend of awkwardly stylized titles with numbers in them.  No, I lie.  It’s pretty awkward.  At least they didn’t call it Scream 2. 

We went to see this movie the other night and then recorded this very episode you hold in your ears, while sitting in the car.  No one need ever rent studio time again, this is a patent, it sounds way better than doing it in an actual room in a building.

We ...

Yippee Ki-Yay mothercluckers!  Fresh from game design stardom and slumming it with us once again, my co-host Simon Gross has finally returned!  Much like chickens batting exploding eggs at each other with frying pans, our conversation this evening was once again fraught with banter, slurred words and the constant, unprofessional shitting of the proverbial and literal bed. 

In this episode, we talk about late film critic Robert Eeji...

A veritable Russian Doll of tangents are at the fore of this week’s episode, where the sheer amount of unrelated topics careening wildly off the road is positively mind boggling.  It’s like, you know when you’re in the middle of a sentence and you think of something else and then you get stuck on that thing but you were supposed to be talking about something else?  That’s this episode. 

Right…where was I?  Oh yes…The Pagemaster!  I...

Happy Halloween!  'Tis the night of ghouls, ghosts, witches, goblins and pumpkins and what better way to celebrate it than to stay inside, lock the doors, hide your candy (because it's MINE!) and listen to us chat about The Frighteners? 

Peter Jackson's 1996 breakout flick sees Michael J. Fox as Frank Bannister, a con man who sets up hauntings so that he can exorcise houses.  The twist?  He can actually see ghosts and he sends his ...

I know what you're thinking.  Didn't we do this already?  Haven't you already droned on for what seemed like a lifetime about this trilogy of films?  Well, now we've got added Si and through his eyes I could see deep into his soul to surmise...that he was tired.  Midnight is no time to record a podcast, dammit!  

Now, dear listeners, you can hear the other side of the conversation.  Enjoy, and remember...spoiler alert!
