Ah sequels, where would we be without them? Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Speed 2: Cruise Control... my life would have no meaning! In this final of our two-part wrap up show, we delve into a mega-credits segment that looks at the amazing cast and crew involved in creating The Ferals , and their other notable career highlights... well, at least those we can track down via IMDB. Some true private eye-level investigations there, folks. We also cover our best and worst...

Alas, it's all over, the last _fresh_ Ferals-related recording from us; yes, we still have our best of season two as a final release. But wait, in our obvious subconscious desperation to hold on to any semblance of a show that provides us three with a scintilla of meaning in our life, we've run over time. Yes, a whopping Peter-Jackson-worthy three and a half hours of raw uncooked Ferals deconstruction goodness. We've decided to split the recording into two parts: 1) First Wrapup and 2) Ferals: F...

This is it - dear listeners. The final countdown! It's been a long, hard road, but we're finally up to the last ever episode of The Ferals - Fossil Fools. While we still have our final wrap-up episode and Season 2 highlights package on the way, I feel it's only fitting that we step back and take a moment to bask in the glory of our accomplishment. Over 37 hours of talking bullshit about a 90s Aussie kids puppet show. Damn. That's a lot of bullshit. In the finale - Episode S02E15 - all hell break...

It took 29 episodes, but it's finally come down to this, dear listeners. I'm quitting The Ferals Podcast. I know there's only one episode left to review - but I just can't take it anymore. The pressure to perform at an elite level; to put on an entertaining show, week in, week out - it's too much for me to handle. So, I'm sorry Monkey Boy & Mike - Swinny Costello is hitting the road. Going it alone. Like Jane Eyre - I've got to turn my back on something I truly love in order to continue my j...

Back in the episode summary for S02E05 - I predicted that Lenny would be the character most likely to snap and kill everyone on the show. But now I see I was truly misguided - my imagination led astray and lulled into a false sense of security by a character whose early intentions seemed good, nice... Innocent . However... imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in. Robbie - you tricked me. And as I lie here dying - writhing in a puddle of my own blood ...

Ahhh... weddings. Everybody loves weddings. Or at least the guests sculling all the free alcohol do. So with that in mind, there's no better time to talk about another relevant subject that is very important, my friends. Laser Tag. For far too long, the dangers of Laser Tag have been concealed to the general public. But I'm here to uncover the truth and lay this barbaric excuse for a sport out for all to see! A few weeks ago, I witnessed - first hand - the horrors and terrible repercussions of t...

As we creep closer to the end of The Ferals, it's beginning to really dawn on me... It's almost over. What the hell am I going to do when the show ends? How will I ever survive without my weekly fix of Rattus P. Rattus, Joe King and the crew? WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE SWINNY!?!? There's only one solution when we hit Episode 30. Do it all again... The Ferals marathon, bitches! In Episode S02E11, Rattus swallows a bomb and is forced by the gang to either vomit or crap it out to survive. Oh, and ...

I just came up with the most awesome idea EVER. I mean - the best possible idea one could possibly ever come up with. ...a Hollywood action-blockbuster interpretation of The Ferals - with all the animals played by actual actors - directed by Michael Bay! Rattus would be played by Tom Cruise, naturally. Modigliana would be played by Megan Fox (because Michael Bay). Scarlett Johansson would be Mixy and the part of Derryn would be played by Kelsey Grammar. He was in Transformers once, I think. Keit...

6 episodes away from the end of The Ferals, and I have a sneaking suspicion we'll never get to find out the answers to these very important, plot-critical questions: ...Did Derryn ever rebuild peaceful diplomatic relations with the moon-king? ...Will Lenny ever confess to lending his 'home movie' collection to Rattus? ...Was the rock monster actually Bumblebee from Transformers?!? ...Is Joe King's middle name 'Far'? You've got six episodes, people - time to start wrapping up those loose ends! Ep...

Priceless. In Episode S02E08, Joe wins big on the lottery. Picks up a fat wad of prime time benjamins. Gets his hands on some fresh dough. Is rolling in the moolah. Piling up stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks. IT'S ABOUT MONEY PEOPLE!!!! We also talk about a very special cult cla...

Ever have that one character that you just can't stand? One that annoys you with their very presence. Frustrates you in every scene they occupy. Every line they utter akin to aural diarrhoea being force-fed into your ear drums. So with that being said, I have no qualms about breaking this news... Fake Kylie - YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. GOODBYE! Episode S02E07 of The Ferals features the gang learning to read, Robbie becoming a meganekko, Joe failing at rudimentary literacy and Lenny improving his ...

Two thirds down, my dear listeners. Twenty. Damn. Episodes. And you know what? I'm starting to believe that we'll never see that magical moment we're all waiting for. You know what I'm talking about - the scene where Lenny just randomly snaps and murders the rest of the cast in cold blood while they're sleeping. It's gonna happen. Just look at his eyes. Those cold, empty - digital eyes. Episode S02E05 of The Ferals features an a-hole robot, an a-hole little kid, Mixy kidnapping a baby and Rattus...

If somebody travelled back in time and told past -me 12 months ago, that future -me would be 19 episodes deep into an in-depth podcast deconstructing The Ferals, I’m sure that past -me would simply shake his head and not believe them. Future -me would then get totally bummed out by that, and take it upon himself to also travel back in time, but this time further - 32 years ago. Unfortunately, since the time machine (named the Temporal Transfer Field) can only send living tissue back in time, fut...

If watching 17 episodes of a crazy 1990s Aussie puppet show has taught me anything about life - it's this very important rule: Health inspectors can't go out at night. Weird, yeah? I know, tell me about it... MIND. BLOWN. In Episode S02E02 of The Ferals, Joe reluctantly adopts Derryn as his pet, Robbie randomly learns karate, Keith struggles to get his gummies and Modigliana suggests they disguise themselves as toilets. Great plan there, Modi. Listen as Monkey Boy, Swinny & Mike delve into t...

I don't know what I'm more shocked about... The fact that a show like The Ferals ever got made - or that a podcast dedicated to breaking it down episode by episode has now lasted an ENTIRE SEASON! So it's time to celebrate people. Break out the champagne and crackers - I'll bring the frankfurters. It's time for a Ferals Podcast end-of-season party! In the final episode of season 1, the Ferals make a home movie about Cinderella and viciously assault Santa, a transport strike threatens Robbie and ...

How do they expect me to fill up my Ferals Extended Universe™ with all these missed opportunities? Oh well. There's always Rule 34... Episode S01E14 features the princess puss of practical pranks, puppet gang warfare, Lenny in drag and Joe serving up the decapitated head of Keith Urban.
