The Black Dog Podcast

Welcome to this weeks episode The Pubcast Grimace.

This week is a short episode as Lee & Darren enter the cinema for another round of fanboy wife beating as they sit through Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace 3D will the third dimension add anything? Will it be a gimmick? Will Darren get over seeing Kate Garraway at the screening? Will Lee stay awake? Is there ever a point where you can wear a Jar Jar hat and expect to live?

All these questions and more will be answered in the pub after the screening where the guys are joined by Laura Fox and the star wars clueless neophyte and Dr Who fanboy Billy Shearer.

Next week sees the cast go in a more romantic mood for their Valentines day recording. But being as its a shit covered goggles week, Darren chose Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones featuring one of the worst romances ever committed to celluloid.
