S3E2 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Tir Na Nog

February 23, 2026

We’re back with episode 2 of the Saban Entertainment fantasy action series set in a TV executive’s idea of what ancient Ireland looks like. Having assembled the main cast they are now sent to the actual land of Tir Na Nog to do magical trails at the behest of a tiny king with a terrible beard. Can they manage to persuade him to help them before the castle of Kells is overrun by the forces of Temra? Listen along to find out.

Also I have a new game out at patreon.com/hjdoom. It’s called Mr Blobby and the Propaganda of the Deed and it’s a deeply libellous text adventure about light entertainment’s most deviant son. Yours for only a quid or local equivalent.

S2E12 - Enter the Asylum - King of the Lost World (2005)

July 31, 2025

Once upon a time you couldn't move for gorillas in the movies and, thanks to the King Kong remake in 2005, the Asylum got on some of that sweet ape action. Ostensibly an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World this horribly cheap jungle adventure features Bruce Boxleitner as the token actor you've heard of. How bad does the giant ape look? Listen along to find out.
