The world of soon to be Vice President Cheney is far from a straightforwardly machiavellian one, as his kind, humane reaction to his second daughter Mary's revelation shows. Dick is still a Republican at heart though, and an absolute devil for intrigue, and so can't resist the siren lure of the return of a call to the dirty game of politics, despite having fulfilled his vows to wife and crown.

Expect unexpected Shakespearean soliloquies, phone calls from lackeys, perfectly paced scenes ripe with dramatic tension and Sam Rockwell who is great in this week's episode.

Merry Christmas everyone. Today we'll be delving into the true meaning of Christmas, the impending end of life on Earth and the fragility of existence. We'll discuss how Michael Bay gets a D- (at best) for astrophysics and the intricacies of allowing a lunatic, a sex offender and a Rasputin level mad cosmonaut loose on an asteroid with a big drill. Expect sexism, space dementa and a great ass(teroid) as we break out the mulled wine for a Christmas Special that's an action movie that stars Bruce Willis but isn't Die Hard.

Welcome back! We begin another movie with a whistle stop tour of the beginnings of Vice President Richard B. Cheney, history's beigest monster. Cheney whoops like a madman, gets into fights in bars, flunks Yale, makes a promise to his girlfriend that he more than keeps, and encounters a rogue's gallery of absolute gargoyles, villains and cutpurses - also known as the powerbrokers in Washington DC. Expect perfectly innocent meetings about what to order from the Chinese takeaway. Cinema is History, We Are Back Baby!

This podcast and all subsequent episodes were recorded earlier this year prior to the passing away of Dick Cheney at the age of 84 having lived a long life of misdeeds and expertly machiavellian intrigue..

Happy Halloween! For a special treat we are going to be exploring the world of DRACULA - but not as you know it, the sets are made of questionable material, and the accents are disappointingly Anglophone. Everyone is middle class, looks smart and wears and tie, and of course, bloodsucking members of the undead harass decent law abiding verge trimming Conservative voters. It wouldn't have happened if that Mr Attlee hadn't gotten into power.

Expect scintillating turnip lantern chat, Christopher Lee throwing the smackdown and horse vampires as we explore the weird, wonderful, often disturbing world of Transylvan... Konigsberg? Klinsmannberg? WHY DID THEY CHANGE THIS?!?

Enjoy

The concluding part on Official Secrets introduces us to a pervert judge who is also somehow Winston Churchill. Katharine Gun enters her plea and has to be prevented from mooning for rebuttal *bell*. Ken MacBonald tries to fish where he don't have a permit no more. Lord Voldemort wins a case using dark magic, proving that Wokeism is the fourth unforgivable curse. Kenny and Alex give their contrasting verdicts to the question Alex posed in episode 1 (to the Salt Mines with her!) and we agree to all be a little more Hank Kissinger :O
