Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan

We're going back into the Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan Vault and this week, with one of our most popular episodes - Your Favourite Disaster Movies! Pure hangover eye candy where your favourite south coast podcast duo discuss Dan's all time favourite film genre! Join Alex & Dan on the virtual sofa as they bring you another socially-distanced episode! Covering what it means to be a disaster film, there's some absolute classics in their lists and some curve balls - and thanks to the power of social media, we have some voice messages and plenty of contributions from the listeners! Grab your go-bag, lock yourself in your home made bunker - it's going to get a little more apocalyptic in this episode! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan look back at some of their favourite TV shows - but not with fond memories, but confusion and disdain! How can main characters not remember meeting in their origin stories? Key plot devices are seemingly forgotten and the realities which these characters reside in, have no consistency? It's TV Plot holes week, as Lost, Heroes, The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and more are discussed! Plus, thanks to the power of social media, plenty of yours too! Also, in true OTT style, there's segues this week - Dan discusses a PSA on the power of AI in telephone scams (he shares his secret password!) and the boys catch up on some popular culture in TV and film! Sit back, relax and enjoy another episode where the South Coast duo destroy yet again, your favourite TV shows! Where is Billy Bob, the Purple and White Power Ranger?? #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #TV #Streaming #Plotholes #podcast #southsea #portsmouth #UK #Spotify Did we miss any?

This week, you dare not leave the house, for we cover some of the world's most craziest coincidences! From interstellar visitors striking the house of a similar namesake family, to those who have cheated death not once, twice but three times (or more!). Does lightning strike more than once? You bet it does! Some of these stories cover people who have lucky names - some who perhaps have experienced karma - to others, where they failed to heed the warnings of prophecies of old (WHY WHY WHY would you open a tomb when it tells you not to??). After a number of usual segues (what's YOUR favourite picnic?), Alex & Dan quickly agree that Man (and Woman) are not meant to travel the deep blue seas! They're treacherous places after hearing about this lot! #Onthetopic #TWRAD #Southcoastsounds #Conspiracytheories #Coincidences #Rabbithole #podcast #southsea #portsmouth #UK #Spotify Did we miss anything?

This week Alex & Dan follow the rabbit hole where this time we arrive at Cryptids: those elusive creatures that defy scientific explanation and captivate our imaginations! In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of these mysterious beings, exploring their origins, sightings, and the enduring myths surrounding them. As we unravel the mysteries behind these cryptids, we discuss the scientific theories and investigations that have attempted to uncover their existence. We examine the role of cryptozoology, the study of hidden animals, in shedding light on these mysterious creatures and the controversies surrounding the field. Are these cryptids figments of our collective imagination, or do they hold the secrets of undiscovered species yet to be revealed? Or are they something different altogether? Also it's another week and we discuss Dan's unlikely impression of Stevie Wonder - and whether Jason Statham's nemesis resides in the murky depths of the oceans with some voice messages..

This week, the South Coast Duo return from the mean streets of Old Portsmouth, fresh from their On The Go episode (link below!) to provide their spoilerific thoughts on the third [and currently final] outing of the rag tag misfits who have been entrusted with saving the galaxy! Alex has made no secret how he felt about Volume 2 - has this changed now? How does this sit with the rest of Phase 5 and are we as an audience suffering from Superhero fatigue? Also - Alex & Dan want to know, in true segue fashion, do you own an E-Scooter? And Gary - let us know - do you REALLY think this is the best trilogy? Not Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man? Tears are shed and as we venture towards the end of the episode, it takes a steep nose dive around vampires and erections... you've been warned listener! GITS

This week, join Alex & Dan not on the sofa, but the pub - as they celebrate their 5th birthday raising a pint glass or two! As per their usual annual tradition, it's an Ask Me Anything (AMA), where they invite and gather the listener community's questions and queries - from damaged VCRs, life skills via the British educational system, the question of potatos (look like one or feel like one.... a tough question!), the versatility of a British Crumpet (!) to murderous rabbits, 90s Brit music classics and much much more. The dynamic south coast duo asked for your questions - and you delivered! Sit back, relax and enjoy a pint with the south coast duo in the boozer! - Also a MASSIVE thank you to all of the listeners for their questions and contributions - it made for a brilliant episode and the channel and its success really couldn't have been without you lot! Much love! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan are exploring a thought-provoking topic that affects all of us who rely on the internet - the dead Internet theory. Essentially, this theory suggests that the internet as we know it could collapse due to a variety of factors, leaving us without access to the vast amount of information and connectivity we currently enjoy. As content creators and podcasters, we're particularly interested in how such an event could impact our ability to reach our audiences and share our ideas. But beyond that, the dead Internet theory raises important questions about our dependence on technology, the role of the internet in society, and what we can do to protect against potential threats. So stick around, and let's dive into this intriguing topic together. #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan dive back into the Quantum Realm thanks to the convenient help of Cassie Lang and team Pym - from best bits to not so best bits - well, you know the deal.... Has Phase 5 kicked off with a giant-sized bang? Or does it pack the punch of an ant? Discussing what this means for the remaining film release schedule, some potential misdirection at the end of the film and whether we want an Ant-Man 4...thanks to the power of social media, we have your comments and questions too! Grab your suit - we're going subatomic! #GITS

We're going back into the Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan Vault and this week, it's the phenomenal Mandela Effect! The South Coast Duo hand in their homework papers after being sent some by a TWRAD listener; they provide an overview of the mass cultural phenomenon from world events, movies to popular icons and logos. From Mickey Mouse and his lack of trouser suspenders, a set of absent famous phrases from E.T and Forrest Gump - to the origins of the theory around one of the most celebrated icons of modern history - Nelson Mandela himself. Both Alex & Dan have experienced this mind bending (potential alternate reality!) phenomena and share theirs - and thanks to the power of social media - some of yours! Strap on your tin hat from the last episode on Conspiracy Theories - because this one is a head scratcher! P.s - this week has a seagull themed blooper reel to be proud of! #weloveanimals #sendhelp #fightingbirds #ornathologists #getinthesea Get interactive! Share your thoughts or comments on the epi

This week, Alex & Dan return to ruin your favourite films by discussing some popular movie plot holes! What just doesn't make sense when you break it down? How can a T-Rex levitate? Why aren't Cows used as batteries? How does Kevin order pizza when the phone lines are apparently not working.....? Make it make sense - and we are barely scratching the surface! It's also an uncomfortable trip back to 1998 for Alex, as he goes on a date to the cinema... The south coast duo also plot a visit to the nearby swimming pool dressed up as Ariel and Usula! Just another epsiode from the dyanmic duo of Southsea! #GITS

It's a new year and Alex & Dan are once more going down the rabbit hole! Imagine a reality where our existence is not as concrete as it seems, but rather a complex, hyper-realistic simulation created by an advanced intelligence. It sounds like a fine story, but how likely is it that we are all living in a simulation? Not only is it possible that we are living in a simulation, it’s definitely possible. Almost 50% possible! We get philosophical, talking about pre-destination, luck (or being unlucky!), fate, religion, science, extra-terrestrials, The Mandela Effect, Crazy Coincidences, Folklore, Ghosts and the supernatural - this is the episode where it all comes together! Sit back, relax and join us on a crazy ride through the simulation theory! #Onthetopic #TWRAD  #Southcoastsounds #Conspiracytheories #SimulationTheory #MandeaEffect #unexplained #rabbithole #science #popularculture What do you think about Simulation Theory?

Alex & Dan are back from the reclining seats and wandering the streets of Old Portsmouth to give you their spoilerific breakdown of the MCU's 30th (!) outing - this time, a return to Wakanda with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever! From discussing the events of the film (including tears from the dynamic duo!) to bits they did and didn't like - and where this leaves our heroes at the end of Phase 4, this episode welcomes you to the sofa for a good old fashion chin wag! Dan also reflects on similarities between our favourite web-head and our latest iteration of the Black Panther - and Alex isn't wholly convinced that the Power Rangers have a place in the MCU.... sit back and relax, as the south coast duo take you on a trip between Wakanda and Talokan! #GITS
