    S2 E9 | An Ocean Half Full Sort of Person | Disaster Movies w/ Chris Tilly
    Apr 8 2021
    Here we are again, at the finale of another season of Mockbusters!

    Although the result may already be written in ink, there's still plenty of drama at the end of it all, as Jack & Matt take on Disaster Movies.
    Joining us for this apocalyptic ending is journalist, movie guru and host on Clash of the Titles podcast with Alex Zane and Vicky Crompton - it's Chris Tilly!
    We chat to Chris about his favourite ever movie match ups on Clash of the Titles, his thoughts on Disaster Movies and Chris poses us the ultimate question: Is there a dog in danger in your movies?

    So head down into the Mockbusters bunker ready to weather the storm for one last time.
    An ocean of optimism, a barrage of Butlers and Jack is awarded his custom made victory song under a burning sky.

    Mar 24 2021
    Because we knew that you just couldn't get enough of internet chatrooms, grotty erotica and more - we thought we'd give you some bonus chat from last episode.
    We didn't want to cut anything because Poppy was a delight to talk to, but this is some extended conversation featuring Hypnotist chatrooms, which came first - the podcast or the chatrooms and what Poppy would do if she had Bernard's Watch.
    Enjoy!

    Oooooh yeah, let's turn the lights down and get hot and heavy with our steamiest episode yet.

    In Episode 8, we strip things down to the skin and get up close and personal with the world of Erotic Fiction.
    And who better to help us sail through the smut, than the Queen of Internet chatrooms - the fantastic Poppy Hillstead!

    We get close ups on Poppy Hillstead Has Entered The Chat, her history with the grotty online world and she's also tasked with guessing which our titles this week are made up by the plot device and which are REAL erotic fiction titles.
    So climb into bed with Mockbusters - and prepare yourself for the sweaty peaks of Shakespearean shagging, Les Dennis' bare arse, a Jonas Brothers soundtrack and some good old self lovin'.

  • S2 E6 | 140 Year Old Virgin | Teen Drama w/ Nicole Varona

    S2 E6 | 140 Year Old Virgin | Teen Drama w/ Nicole Varona
    Mar 2 2021
    Mockbusters comes of age this week as we wade through the emotional depths and hormonal highs of Teen Drama.

    Presiding over all this angst, from across the pond we're joined by actor, playwright and poet - the multitalented Nicole Varona! We chat with Nikki about her debut play Bit Of Sunshine, her favourite teen flicks and how poetry is making a comeback in the internet age.
    Just like a teenage mood, things get emotional in more ways than one with this week's trailers. One of the boys makes a heartfelt offering, and the other ruthlessly breaks them in an incredibly contentious episode.
    Turn up your iPod Classic to hear an unexpected type of teenager, Michael Gambon's star casting, witness protection and loads and loads of Virgins.

    Massive thanks to Nicole for joining us, you can find her work and Bit of Sunshine over at https://www.nicolezweiback.com/acting and you can find Nicole on the socials at @nicolevaronaz for her personal and @izzapoetry for her poems on Instagram.

  • S2 E5 | Badda Bing Badda Pez | Investigative Drama w/ Cameron James & Alexei Toliopolous

    S2 E5 | Badda Bing Badda Pez | Investigative Drama w/ Cameron James & Alexei Toliopolous
    Feb 23 2021
    On the fifth episode of Season 2, the dark underbelly of Mockbusters is revealed as we delve into the grimy streets of Investigative Drama/True Crime.
    And who better to lead us through the dark alleys than the masterminds behind the smash hit investigative podcasts Finding Drago & Finding Desperado - it's Cameron James & Alexei Toliopolous!
    Cam & Alexei take time out of their busy schedule searching for elusive author Todd Noy and tracking down world record holder Lord Sidney Ling, to pass judgement on two equally compelling cases - our trailers!
    We catch up with the boys about what really goes into creating a break out hit, spending time on online forums and all four of us get bogged down in some dubious corporate sponsorship.

    So follow the trail of evidence, with clues along the way including a directorial mash up, a lethal brass instrument and Pez dispensing the true justice.

    Massive thanks to Cameron James & Alexei Toliopolous for joining us this week, do not forget to check out their excellent work on Finding Drago & Finding Desperado on your podcast platforms or here:

    https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/finding-drago/

    Also, Cam & Alexei also run several other fantastic shows such as Total Reboot (the only podcast in the world about films) and Mike Check (which is literally probably the only show in world dedicated specifically dedicated to Mike Myers).

    And joining them this week on their audio safari, it's comedian and host of BBC Sounds podcast 'But...Where Are You Really From?' - it's the delightful Nimisha Odedra!
    We chat to Nim about her brand new puppy, cultural identity and accidentally translating the word satsuma.
    So as we brace ourselves for this new ecosystem, prepare yourself for: Danny Dyer's brand new career move, animals as you've never heard them before and Jack's lack of research leaving him to fend for himself in the wilderness.
