HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We're getting started with a bang and addressing one of Mike's blank spots as we take a wander through the winter wonderland that is, Frozen (turns out Mike really doesn't like Disney musicals). Grab a reindeer and ride along as we discover just how much Mike doesn't like Disney musicals,   how much Rob doesn't know about Disney Princes (which he's totally happy with) and all your usual favorite elements.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, except Mike & Rob who, wine bottle in hand, come crashing down the chimney and leave sooty footprints all over the place in their search for the origins of Father Christmas. From the origins of St Nick, through the dark ages of Slavic and Nordic tradition, one thing's for damn sure... you'll never look at Santa the same way again!

Beginning a long career of cashing in on his own franchise, George Lucas alleges he had nothing to do with this 1978, made for TV, musical bonanza. We call BS as this is clearly the work of some kind of twisted genius with a penchant for variety TV. Featuring songs by Diahann Carroll, Jefferson Starship, Bea Arthur, and event Carrie Fisher which just goes to show you really can buy anybody, it's so utterly terrible that it took us two attempts to record it! So gather round and let's enjoy the age-old tale of Wookies, life day and the importance of family... who will likely thank you to not ever show them this Intro Music: Light the Sky on Fire, Jefferson Starship ℗© 1998 Jefferson Starship, Inc., under exclusive license to Rhino Entertainment Company, a Warner Music Group Company.

It's more interesting than it sounds ... honest! Mike & Rob look back at the history of antitrust action in the US and how it can apply to today's big tech companies... see told you it was interesting! Of course, we do so with quite a bit of childish innuendo, a range of slightly adult themes and be sure to stay tuned for the very special "bloopers"

It finally happened - we did a Tarrantino movie. Specifically, The Hateful Eight from 2015.  Mercifully, MIke manages to avoid going full film nerd and, instead, explores the nuance of one of the world's greatest directors in traditional puerile fashion. Rob gets confused by the movie and, it's very loud throughout. Enjoy!

Sorry We're (Drunk) and Late! It'll be worth the wait as this month we delve into the the genius of Jim Henson! Rob takes Mike through the life of the master puppeteer, writer and Director; Mike totally gets more than 50% on a quiz about Muppets, and things get downright emotional talking about childhood! Oh, and bad accents and dick jokes. Enjoy!

1982, or a thousand years ago whichever you prefer, Rob has dragged Mike back into one of his childhood favourites in this month's movie segment, as they explore the muppet filled planet of Thra in The Dark Crystal. Featuring a solid critique of a modern classic, a rock hard lambasting of the sequel, and an iron-clad agreement that the soundtrack is utter pants, we invite you to join us as we attempt to find smut in a beloved children's classic ... and succeed!  Intro Music: The Dark Crystal Overture, Trevor Jones ℗© 2017 The Jim Henson Company Outro Music: Skeksis Back, The Great Luke Ski © 2011 FIDIM Interactive, LLC

We're heading back to the DAWN OF TIME in this month's movie episode as we explore the lost world of dinosaurs, DNA and dumb computer security slobs in Jurassic Park. Ever wondered what it takes to wring out a T-Rex like a damp dishrag? Or just how many millions of dollars they spent on oiling up Jeff Golfblum's chest? Well wonder no more as we've done all the digging for you so sit back, relax, and remember, "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" Intro Music: Theme From Jurassic Park, John Williams ℗© 1993 Geffen Records Outro Music: Walk The Dinosaur, Was (Not Was) ℗ 2003 Universal International Music B.V. © 2003 Universal International Music B.V.

It's time for truly the deepest of dives as we talk submarines!

The year is 1990, the year is meant to be sometime in the 80s... we're not sure of the specifics but it's time for things to hot up during the Cold War as we dive into the depths of John McTiernan's adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel. With the usual bits, a quiz featuring the worst impression of Sean Connery you've heard recently, and more trivia than your average family board game night, it's a ripping ride through a modern classic.

In this month's deep dive, we're heading over the event horizon of one of the weirdest celestial phenomena known to humankind, the BlackHole. From the early theoretical roots to the first ever photo of an actual black hole, we manage to make it through nearly an hour of deep scientific debate without making too many "hole" jokes and without losing Mike!

This month on We're Drunk & We Know Things, we're reaching for the stars as we blast off and float through the epic wonder that is, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.

Mike & Rob roll up their sleeves, grab some cellulose and try not to blow themselves up as they explore the history, techniques and key players in the world of hand drawn animation.

In a first for us, we're covering an animated feature. And no it's not Disney, it's so much better! Mike & Rob enter the world of the spirits and take a bath with a radish in Studio Ghibli's 2001 masterpiece, Spirited Away. With a deep dive into Shinto region, a possibly slightly racist quiz and of course One Star Reviews it's a hand drawn wonder... oh and the dick jokes are mostly at the end.

It's finally happened... we're talkin' 'bout SkyNet! Hot on the heels of our T2 extravaganza we've got our first deep dive of the new season and it's time for Mike and Rob to search for some intelligence in the podcast, Artificial in this case which seemed our best hope.  So come with us on a journey through humankind's search for and quest to create artificial thought ... despite the fact that computers weren't really good enough for most of the time!

It's not how big it is ... er yeah. So rounding out the alphabet and we're talking Zip files and other compression algos in this month's rather technical tech segment. Including a brief history, an almost certainly incorrect break down of how compression works and a lot of trolls (of the patent variety) it's a nice enough way to end the season. And let's face it, it's the only tech thing beginning with Z of any note.
