It's almost Christmas (so close I can almost taste that turkey dinner!) and the excitement is tangible! Barry & I got so over-excited we ended up spoiling Star Wars so much that most of that conversation ended up on the cutting room floor...! So, enjoy this unspoilery Star Wars Christmassy love fest! On a serious note, I'd like to wish our listeners that happiest of holiday seasons and a healthy, safe and fun New Year. You're all delightful stars!

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas everyone! Welcome to Episode 80 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! Joining me for this festive year in review bumper extravaganza are Parlour regulars; my splendid hubby Rich, and not-a-Cockney buddy Phil! We're recounting the things we loved most about 2017 (in pop culture that is, because 2017 outside of pop culture was a bit of a nightmare, innit..!) and the odd thing we weren't so keen on. Who was disappointed by Riverdale? Which superhero movies made it into our list...

Howdy ho, my dears; welcome to Episode 11 of Stace & Barry in the Morning! It's all gone a bit tits up this episode as I have apparently lost all ability to form thoughts or do basic maths, and Barry, gawd love 'im, tries to keep the whole thing afloat! There's cartoons, some thoughts about the Comichaus app, some CW crossover spoilers and a whole avalanche of fun Saturday morning nonsense. Enjoy!

My apologies for keeping you waiting so long for the other half of my wonderful chat with Nick Papconstantinou! We talk about so much stuff it's almost ridiculous, including Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Motherland, the Deadpool teaser, The Good Place and loads more! We also have our fingers totally on the pulse of pop culture and chat about Ferris Bueller and Get Out... Enjoy!

What ho, lovely listeners, welcome to the newly refurbished Parlour! Joining me and the slight smell of paint in the Parlour this month is official Friend of the Show and me; Nick Papaconstantinou!

Well, delightful listener types; this is it! The last(ish) episode of Podcast In A Half Shell! (For now!)

Join Duncan and I as we muse over the state of The Shredder, whether or not Kip The Entirely Irrelvant News Dude is dead, and how many childrean actually wanted to hear Splinter sing a ballad about skipping stones ...

Please note; this episode was due for release on Saturday 28th October, but was temporarily thwarted by techno-gremlins. Therefore, Barry & I invite you to just pretend it's Saturday again (only, you know, still go to work and that 'cos we don't want you to get fired...) Goood morning lovelies, and welcome to Episode 8 of Stace & Barry in the Morning! Barry's doing some psychic fondling, I can't pronounce 'manhunter', and we have a Big Important Announcement! Ooooh!

Happy International Podcast Day, all! To celebrate, my tip-top hubby, Rich, and I got together (i.e. sat in the kitchen) and bust out our spooky film recommendations in preparation for the creepiest month of the year; October! These aren't necessarily the best horror movies ever made, but those that we feel are worth a look. Expect some spoilers (but not big ones). If you happen to check out any of the movies, let us know what you think via @StaceysParlour on Twitter or by joining the Facebook g...

Good morrow one and all, and welcome to the latest slice of geeky nonsensery in Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! For Episode 73, I am joined by Parlour regular and Official Friend Of The Show, Lee Grice! Things started off fairly light as we chat about excellent TV comedies Toast of London and IT Crowd, however things took a turn for the early Halloween as Lee and I went daaaark! We chat about (and therefore spoil to all heck) S3 of Rick And Morty, the 1990 IT TV movie-series-thingy, The Mist, Mr M...

Gather round, TMNT fans, it's time for another slice of Turtle-y awesome podcasting with Duncan & Stacey! This episode, we've read a bunch of late 80's/early 90's Archie TMNT Adventure Comics, and they're...certainly...a collection of words and pictures...! Duncan swears a lot, I get hung up on poo particle transplants and neither of us have a clue why anything is happening...you know, standard! Enjoy! Booyakashaaaa and all that!
Sep 06, 2017•1 hr 15 min•Ep. 19
Merry Saturday one and all and welcome to Episode 5 of Stace & Barry In The Morning! This episode contains copious references to Grumpy Skeletor, a lot of digressions, a distinct disdain for Caramacs and some sass jazz! Grab your bacon sammy and enjoy this slice of early morning geekdom.

Hold on to your lil poopy pants, folks, it's time for another episode of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month I am joined by the incredibly talented and delightful Bryony Evans!

Expect a few spoilers for Rick and Morty S3, as well as some much less spoilery chat about the newly rebooted Duck Tales cartoon. We also have q...

Staaaaace & Barrryyyyy in the mooorrrrning! Jazz! Join Barry & I as we debut a new segment in which I am ashamed at my lack of pop culture prowess, we're both a bit excited at the return of Rick and Morty, and my fake trumpet skills are...ahem...rather lacking. Stick the kettle on and enjoy!

Well jolly good morning to you, nerdy folk! Welcome to Episode 3 of Stace & Barry In The Morning; your slice of Saturday morning silliness (best served with a lovely giant bowl of cereal)!

Hello there, lovely folk of the internet; welcome to Episode 71 of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour! This month, my hubby and general geeky gent Rich Taylor is saving you from having to sit through a solo Stace episode by joining me to chat.

Oi oi, it's Podcast In A Half Shell time again! This episode, Duncan and I made the minor mistake of thinking that Cartoon All Stars To The Rescue might actually contain some Turtles, and the rather major mistake that Turtle Tunes might be an interesting watch... It's madness afoot as we try to understand what anyone was thinking when making both of these shows, whether the makers of Cartoon All Stars had done none of or ALL OF the drugs (we genuinely can't tell) and why Leonardo has a rowboat.....
