Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan

This week, Alex & Dan traverse the multiverse once more to bring you their review of Deadpool's 3rd 4th wall-breaking-billion dollar box office listing - Deadpool & Wolverine! As usual, the dynamic duo cover the synopsis, their thoughts on the 34rd MCU film (!) and Alex is dishing up some tasty Easter Eggs for a change - and of course - there's many to cover this time around! Who spoilt the film for them 1.5 weeks after release? Does the film suffer from underwhelming villains again? Can the film be simplified in one sentence? All these questions answered - and more! Also thanks to the power of social media - we have some of YOUR thoughts and ponderings for the state of the MCU overall - sit back, relax and reload those Wolverine arms, as it's about to get messy! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan are hot off the heels of not one, but three (!) On The Go episodes and clearing their back catalogue - the first up is the country-ific (?) tornado disaster sequel film, Twisters! As is usual fare, Dan struggles with some difficult scientific ingredients (to be fair, it is a mouthful!), Alex educates the masses on some real world use of Silver Iodide (because, science!) and there's discussions around red flags and creepy characters. There's the usual favourite bits, not so favourite bits and as a bonus, we have some BTS content on the making of the film. Sit back, relax and get yourself your favourite cowboy boots - because this one is a doozy! #GITS

We're turning back the clock to 2007, joining Sony with their 25 years celebrating the famous wall crawler on the cinema screens. What else was popular in 2007? Glad you asked - Gordon Brown was Prime Minister in the UK, it was a year of threequels (Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End) and there were world-defining events in Banking. The less we talk about the latter, the better. Anyway, for a special On The Go episode, the Dynamic South Coast duo return to the not-so-mean streets of Old Portsmouth to the cinema and back, to bring you their honest thoughts on the final outing of Maguire's solo Spider-Man franchise - with a cacophony of villains and meme-worthy dancing, Alex & Dan reflect on their memories of watching the film when it was a simpler time - and whether it still holds up in the leather recliners all these years later! #GITS

This week, the Dynamic South Coast duo return to the not-so-mean streets of Old Portsmouth to the cinema and back, to bring you their honest thoughts on the latest outing of Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool - featuring the familiar face of Fox's grumpiest mutant - Hugh Jackman's Wolverine! 
 This is the 34th MCU Film (!) with lots to discuss and plenty of easter eggs - but this is as usual, a spoiler-free review fresh from the recliner cinema seats - the main review episode will follow shortly. 
 The dynamic duo also end up gazing into the bright glare of an otherworldly being, who wields the power of the actual sun in their glorious travelling machine. What does it all mean and is it the end for them? Who knows! They're as confused as you will be! So sit back and relax as Alex & Dan take you on a short tour once more! #GITS

It's oddly been a long time since the dynamic south coast duo have been to the cinema for a review (all the way back to November '23's OTT #97 The Marvels!) - and this week they return to the not-so-mean streets of Old Portsmouth to the cinema and back, to bring you their honest thoughts on the spirital successor to the 90s disaster movie classic Twisters! This is as usual, a spoiler-free review fresh from the recliner cinema seats, so sit back and relax as Alex & Dan take you on a short tour once more! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan return to the archives to bring you some of the most famous movie scripts never to have seen the light of day! Some films are ready for release and get pulled at the last minute; some for tax write-off reasons. Others because the scrips are just absolutely bat sh*t. Alex & Dan pick some of their favourite films, destined to remain on the writer's room floor. From dark horror sequels from distinct PG-rated family films, to canned Disney Pixar concepts - the southcoast dynamic duo discuss some interesting plots never to adorn the silver screen or our living room TVs! Also as always, a massive thanks to the listeners, we also discuss the state of a once much-loved franchise and how it will spin off another episode in the coming weeks - contact details at the end of the episode and below - get involved! #GITS

This week, the dynamic duo of the Southcoast ditch the sofa for the gaming chairs, as they discuss some of their all time favourite gaming moments - and thanks to the power of social media - some of yours too! From the shooty shooty bang bang of Red Dead Redemption and Halo 3, to the mystical glows of Final Fantasy VII and Zelda: Ocarina of Time, we discuss our top gaming moments. It probably should be saddest gaming deaths, it's a bit bleak - but look, they're memorable for a reason! Alex recalls a simpler time, running down to Debenhams for Call of Duty and Dan calls back to his retail days, "have you got THE game?". Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some of yester-year's best gaming moments! #GITS

This week Alex & Dan delve back into the vaults to bring you a COVID-19 classic; Flawed Pop Culture Gadets and Weapons! Continuing the show from quarantine using digital tools to bring you time-relevant delicious podcast content whilst maintaining appropriate social distancing, this episode saw the dynamic duo discussing some utterly pointless, random and truly unique gadgets and weapons from the movie world, they share some of their favourites; from the Scuba Duck outfit to a slow time travelling car - this episode has it all! There's also a public service announcement during this episode, all thanks to an exceptionally loud laptop fan in a previous episode! Sit back, relax and enjoy some much deserved continual alone-time during this period of isolation. #GITS

This week we're cracking out the candles once again and taking to the sofa with some beers and choice crisps, to accompany yet another year of ecletic questions and answers! We asked and yet again, as always, you did not dissapoint! From haunted locations which Dan is threatening to take Alex on, to Jedi's vs. Wizards - all time line up musician bands to deadly comedians; our Mount Rushmore of MCU films, drinking liquers from shoes to Pompey's Mad Pooper (is that a thing?) - and then some questions, we rather wouldn't have been asked! The show must go on, however! Thanks again for all of your contributions, messages and episodes over the last year - here's to many more! #GITS

This week, we're going back to 1997 with the now-cult classic sci-fi film review of Starship Troopers! Doing their part, Alex & Dan return to the sofa with a retrospective review of what was initially a concern of a far-right advertisement and alleged wooden performances by a stellar line up! Discussing the production, plot, reviews and how it ended up creating a range of sequels and spin off's, the duo guide you through the gory adventures of Jonny Rico and Dizzy! Recounting their memories of when they first saw the film (Alex at one of his earliest pre-teen sleep overs!) and Dan's dodgy tape deliveries at the back of a van, it's another trip down the nostalgia lane for the dynamic southcoast duo! Alex also needs to explain the birds and the bees with Dan, with an uncomfortable parental discussion on arousing thoughts... who'd have thought this podcast would remain in the gutter? Come on! We all did, let's face it..... #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan discuss famous abodes from the silver screen and the tv streaming world - where for the small price of an overnight stay, you can have a bed in a famous house/location from your favourite film/tv show! From the Fresh Prince to the X-Men Mansions, pictureseque lodges in Sex Education to the Home Alone House and the Spice World Bus - yes, we discuss all of these places and more! Sit back and relax as we bring you some stellar stays - and thanks to the power of social media - some of your ideal locations, too! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan take to the South Coast sofa for another chin wag - this time, to discuss some actors who have put in the hard graft and just simply don't get the proper recognition for their supporting roles. On the flip side, some seem to get all the roles and appear to be one-sided and typecasted - the travesty of it all! Inadvertantly throwing shade, this episode links to our pre-OTT days (link below!) Your Hollywood Divas Vol.1 episode! Who has on paper, lots of acolades but simply seems to be the same cooky, slightly deranged character? Who can traverse the tv streaming and silver screen platforms, break cultural barriers and still not be reconigised for their achievements? What do wrestlers have to do with it all? Sit back and relax as we bring you our thoughts - and thanks to the power of social media - some of yours too! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan take to the sofa to discuss Jon Negroni's Disney Pixar Theory - they're all connnected! From The Good Dinosaur and Brave, all the way to Monsters Inc. - there's a tall tale of the rise of AI (we've discussed this before, of course!), the demise of the Human race and the anthropomorphic nature of animals - your viewing of these films will never be the same again! Boo ends up being more important than we ever could imagine and the impact of Buy-N-Large is far reaching - it's time to grab those tin foil hats! It's a doozy! #GITS

This week, it's the unthinkable (but inevitable, really) - Alex & Dan take to the sofa to talk about the nefarious, world-famous jogger-come-Mad Pooper. That's right - it's been a long time coming (some might say backed up!), but the dynamic duo of the South Coast of the UK cover the repeat offender of Colorado Springs, what were the motives, suspects - and some similar stories from across the world. Dan and Alex discuss what endorsements or pay out's they'd take - and Alex talks about Google Trends on poop and what a "poop noodle" is (don't Google it if you don't know. It's better that way). You'd be forgiven for skipping this one - but to be fair, it is only a bit of fun... until someone defecates in your front garden... #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan are going back to the movie archives and discussing some of their most distressing and life-affirming movie deaths. Who was done the dirty, when mere moments after they were skewered, their friends forget about them? Hyenas will forever be the instrument of nefarious wrongdoing - and why did Alex have literal tears in his eyes recounting a particular iconic scene from one of Denzel Washington's back catalogue? Most of these films are from the 90s children's silver screen and they have absolutely no right to go this hard! Dan returns to the stage as he auditions for Alex's opening traumatic death - for the consideration of Best Recreation of a Cinematic Childhood Trauma at 2025's Oscars! These, amongst many are some of the dynamic duo's jarring deaths - and thanks to the power of social media - we have plenty of yours too! Who's cutting onions? We're not crying - YOU'RE CRYING. #GITS

This week, we are back behind the mics as we discuss what we have been doing during our brief hiatus! We discuss family, health, gaming, music, feeling old and what we have coming up on the channel over the next coming months! Come join us on the sofa as we catch up with you on all things OTT! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan go back into the Vaults and once more delve deep into their childhood as they discuss TV shows which had them glued to the rear projection set in the early mornings during the weekends! Featuring a "feckless inventor" making dangerous children's toys for toddlers, a reckless science teacher who shouldn't have had a driving licence, an elephant King of Celesteville and the treacherous trek of wood animals straight from the BBC, amongst many. I'm not crying, you're crying! Alex also shares his frustrations as a small child with the Argos catalogue and the ever elusive Wolverine figurine, Dan once more recounts some harrowing childhood stories, straight from the playground - and there's a drug-safety message embedded in the episode (take someone who know's what they're doing with you!) #GITS

It's a new year over at OTT Central on the South Coast of Portsmouth, UK and Alex & Dan are once more delving down the rabbit hole - this week, to talk about Simulation Theory! The central premise is that an advanced civilization, possibly far beyond our current technological capabilities, has created a complex simulation that mimics the conditions of our universe. Apparently its more than possible though.... nearly 50% likely! Things get philosophical for the dynamic duo on the sofa this week, as they talk Religion, Fate, Luck (or being unlucky!), paranormal events, space, science... this episode has it all. Sit back, relax and enjoy the episode which brings all of the Rabbit Hole playlist together - you're in for a wild ride! #GITS

This week Alex & Dan partake in their annual review of the year ahead and what they are looking forward to: from blockbuster films, streaming series to gaming and music! Things take the usual odd turn for the channel, when Dan starts discussing dressing gowns and dishevelled tv writers… and Alex imagines a world of Love Islanders on Jurassic Park, with some conflicting emotions… just another normal week over at OTT central in Southsea! Thanks to the power of social media, plenty of you guys get involved too! Sit back, relax and grab your calendar, as the south coast duo plan out their next year of entertainment! #GITS
