No plot though. More rambling, but this time it's stood up.

Also, no episode next week because Jake's on HOLIDAY. Yes that's right. It's his fault.

Next week gives me time to formulate content and stuff, whilst I'm walking on my under desk treadmill.

Yeah sorry about that. We go in to more detail on this episode. Welcome to the first lost episode! We recorded this episode in April (yes I know I'm sorry), and we finally brought it out of the archive after both of our lives settled somewhat.

Bonus points if anyone notices where I play around with the edit.

Also, I do apologise for the weird background noise half way through. I don't know what's wrong, but I am looking in to it. Definitely need to look in to it.

This week, we have something I don't think we've ever had before, Matt guessed a quote within 3 seconds, with no clues or guessing. Hurrah! The only way is... well, down from here.

Well well well. Jake's vanished so I get to write this bit without him knowing. Tonight was a bit of an adventure. I started off a little under the weather (definitely not just hungry), then Jake turned around probably the best plot I've heard here in a while. That definitely perked me up, despite the fact that we got massive confused in our horror movies. Right, I'm off to eat my McDonalds.

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 20:48:33 GMT

Easy one for me this week, Jake takes the reins, both in terms of the quote and the plot, but also the intros. I'll let you guys some to your own conclusion on how that one went. I actually did quite well this week, guessing both pretty easily (if I do say so myself). This weeks chat takes a little bit of an existential turn, so have fun with that after the plot.

Oh, and we had a little bit of a play with streaming, and we've finally got round to uploading it on to youtube. Go check out the first part of Jake Plays Stray over on our shiny new channel, Morford Studios!

We're back. We took a break for a week for hangover reasons, and ended up developing a new means to generate (no) money! We've started streaming, and by started, I mean we did it once, and rather enjoyed it. Anyway, back to the podcast. We're back this week with a really hard quote - one that I personally feel has put me to shame, as they always do. Matt's back with the plot this week. Very poorly written, as the namesake mentions, where I actually missed out probably 45 minutes worth of plot. Don't shoot me, I haven't seen the film in a while.

OH BOY WE'RE FEELING PERKY. For our 10th episode, we're definitely feeling on the chipper side. And we actually did okay this episode! 2 quotes this evening, and Matt did eventually guess both with limited to moderate clues! Hallelujah! This time, Jake brings out a little known film from the archives for his plot, and contrary to our tradition, it was actually quite difficult to guess! That's right, really mixing it up for episode 10.

We try to mix things up this week, and I cant say it went too well, but hey, we're working on it, we're learning, we're growing. Let us know if you think it works. I don't know how, but try. A moderately difficult (made more so by the attempted 'jazz up') quote, and a disastrously easy plot from Matt. You know the drill.

I'm not even going to apologise for the hiatus this time - Jake got a new job and I turned 30. Okay fine, we're sorry. This week is a bit of a painful one. Matt had trouble with both the quote and the plot. Probably karma for forgetting it was actually his turn to host the poorly written plot. We dive a little deeper in to a niche Sci-fi from the early 80's which we've realised is not Matt's strong point. A little deflating but I'm hoping to be on better form next week.

Alexa's Taking Over

Tue, 31 May 2022 21:21:00 GMT

It's a little long this week, so I appreciate you may not get to the end. We start with a review of the week, with Jake giving an intimate run down of his time at ComicCon 22, and a heated rant from Matt about people wearing morph suits. Back to normal on the quote this week. Far too many clues for a very slow guess, but I will say that Jake brought his A-Game on the Poorly Written Plot. Boring post chat about AI and the end of the world, and Alexa pipes up too. Stay tuned for more top notch content.

Picture That with a Kodak

Tue, 24 May 2022 20:49:30 GMT

Hello yes! Consistently non existent episodes are back, and boy are we rusty. You don't realise until you have a VERY poorly curated podcast how much fake skill you lose after taking some time off. Speaking of time off, we both forgot (and couldn't be bothered to re-listen to the latest episode) who actually presented their plot last time, so naturally we played Rock Paper Scissors to decided who got the honour this week. It was Matt's turn, and honestly I'm kind of shocked that we haven't already done this film. If we learnt one thing from this episode, it's that we need to keep a spreadsheet of films we've actually done.

Oh, and Matt actually guessed a quote without too many hints this time! Hurrah.

As one of our listeners said this weekend; "It gets better". We'll get in to weekly spin soon.

After a brief hiatus, for no reason other than life got in the way, we're back with more of this absolute dumpster fire. After some technical tuning to start, we dig in to a main course of absolute idiocy. Another quote, far too hard to guess, and another poorly written plot, far too easy to guess. And for dessert? As my grandmother always says, "wait and see pie".

I know I know, it's late, and contrary to what we said on this episode, it's not a week after pancake day, although I do hope you had some good pancakes. This week, it's Matt's turn to bring out the poorly written plot, and did quite a good job at keeping the film under wraps until the very end. This of course, follows another stupendous, albeit very general, quote from Jake, which again, took Matt far too long to get. Sorry not sorry.

Listen, I know it doesn't look like it, but it feels like we're getting in to the swing of it slightly. Matt FINALLY guesses a quote correctly (with only one marginally too easy clue), and Jake brings the adventure with a very well written (or in the theme of this podcast, poorly) plot. We even start to discuss some SciFi tropes and their uses. Riveting stuff. Laughs and stupidity ensue as always.
