After recording our Rollerball episode we thought it would be a good idea to sample some vintage Top of the Pops, and hence we pit June 1977 against July 1978!

After recording the Zombie Creeping Flesh episode, it seemed like a good idea to keep on drinking and watch a Top of the Pops from November 1980 the same week as the film's release. And we had such a good time, we sampled another episode from 1981 for good measure!
In a special show, we revisit an early classic from the late great Roger Corman - Not of the Earth (1957)
It's crap movie time and we are looking at a legendarily shoddy movie - a 1980s Italian Dawn of the Dead knock-off which you may know as Zombie Creeping Flesh AKA Virus AKA Zombie 3 AKA Hell of the Living Dead AKA Night of the Zombies AKA That Bloody Terrible Film
We thought we'd revisit a Top of the Pops from 1988 the week Big was released... and it didn't go so good. So we also had a look at an earlier episode from 1985 to right the balance!
