Episode 13 - The Globetrotter Interview

On August the 22th, the day after the contentious Australian Federal Election, Harvey Globetrotter was savagely beaten by representatives of the World Wildlife Fund. The Prince Consort denied any involvement on his own part or on the part of his organisation, but eye-witnesses told a very different story. Many weeks passed before the document incurring their wrath, a podcast revealing a global conspiracy in which the panda-loving organisation was implicated, saw light. It has been suggested that...

Episode 12 - A Party Political Broadcast

In a much delayed election-night broadcast, Finn & Harvey urge you to vote for the only party that matters. Waging a literal war on drugs, uncovering the Green Genocide and Nazis are all discussed, and a clear distinction is made between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is briefly reviewed, before considering the political ramifications of the protagonist's abilities. Germans get a hard time of it, as do pandas, but that's only appropriate.

Episode 11 - The Sutekh Fun-Time Happy Hour

It's second semester, and there's no Sukhast anymore. Instead, during the Sutekh Fun-Time Happy Hour Harvey, Hat Guy & Reg discuss the Tuesday Screenings and show undue suspicion of virgin births before turning to Inception: the Last Shot, "Dream Inner-Ears", and how Cillian Murphy was Keyser Söze the whole time. Then something goes wrong and that Finn guy turns up again. Flossy R. R. Finklestein, "I'll Cry When I'm Dead" by Whack-Tangent-Tastic and midgets both evil and benign all feature....

The Sukhast Episode 10 - The End

In the semester's final Sukhast, and in light of the latest Ordinary General Meeting, Finn & Harvey reflect on the great OGMs of the past. Recommendations are made regarding the necessary preparations, but it's already too late. They also discuss kidneys as a cipher for all other internal organs and heavy metal as an extenuating circumstance until a heart-in-mouth cliffhanger ending that'll leave you fearing for the future of the Sukhast itself.

The Sukhast Episode 9 - With A Dan

In Week 12's Sukhast, Dan joins Finn & Harvey as they discuss Scott Pilgrim, favourite lecturers, the iPad, theses on pimp culture, and the most horrifying things that superheroes have done. We also discover that most Hungarians feel they were better off under communism and that Finn loves Reed Richards unconditionally. Not really.

The Sukhast Episode 8 - Nicholas Cage Special

Finn & Harvey commit Doctor Who-related blasphemies, discuss Star Wars, and consider eating pine cones. The topic of the day is Nicholas Cage and his illustrious career, from Adaptation to The Wicker Man. Also under discussion are RPGs - D&D, World of Darkness, and Brazillian Death Squads' fandom of the medium - and Harvey puts on his robe and wizard hat.

The Sukhast Episode 7 - From the Mother Country

Week 10's Sukhast is the least crass yet. Your hosts talk briefly about the British elections, before becoming bewildered by the question of how it relates to Sutekh. They return to their field of expertise with a reading of the esteemed Harry Potter fanfic, 'My Immortal', followed by earnest consideration of the legitimacy of its claim to "so bad it's good" status. Throughout the podcast, hard-line anti-communists fall for flower children and at some point Morgan Freeman teams up with William S...

The Sukhast Episode 6

Finn and Harvey are joined by Aidan, and flirt with relevancy by discussing Iron Man 2, the new Left 4 Dead 2 campaign The Passing, and ethics in game design, as well as a romantic hunting trip, Southland Tales, and Harvey's spirit animal.

The Sukhast Episode 5 - Harvey and the Ass Model Graveyard

This week, Finn McCool and Harvey "Ugly Girl" Globetrotter review Kick Ass, reveal the truth about Co-host Beta and expound on Nicholas Cage's remarkable ability to overact. Gasp! As you hear of Harvey's innovations in the realms of poultry and ice cream. Ruminate! As you discover that a kid is a baby goat and the Istari would wear Nikes. Swoon! To the show's tasteful shag/marry/kill triumvirate. And Write In! For the kind of transient, indirect fame that only an unreliably published small club ...

The Sukhast Episode 3 - Look Ma, No Guests!

Harvey and Finn find themselves bereft of guests in this week's Sukhast (it was Finn's fault), and are forced to tolerate each other without the buffer of another person for the first time in weeks. Can the Sukhast survive this crisis? Also this week: our hosts hit you with a deluge of undiluted, semi-researched, probably incorrect opinion about such matters as webcomics, Steam on Macs, and Harvey's pretentious love for all things postmodern, meta and intertextual.

The Sukhast Episode 2 - Now With Less Reg And More Bish

On Week 2's Sukhast, Harvey and Finn are joined by Bish, who has, according to the Sutekh Wiki, been known to destroy whole villages through soft-spoken pleasantness alone. This week they discuss Sutekh's board gaming and card gaming: Settlers of Catan, innuendo, Small World, innuendo, Bang and innuendo. Finn and Bish give their take on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and Harvey turns a critical eye to the podcast's adoring fans, before considering Robot Unicorn Attack, R Kelly's 'Ignition (Rem...

The Sukhast Episode 1 - Now With More Reg

For the Week 1 Sukhast, Harvey and Finn are joined by Reg, Sutekh's VP and Functions Officer, and explain the club's Real Events (untainted by the mention of Superman Returns), as well as touching on many and various fascinating topics such as load-bearing hair, cross-overs, great ice days, The Geek Tour (on this Thursday!), Sutekh's Videogame Olympics, and Leo DiCaprio (*swoon*).
