Episode Notes
This episode is going to be bigly. This week, Lorraine and Will are looking at Donald Trump's supervillain origin story, The Apprentice.
They learn how The Donald started as a meek (but rich) rent collector in Hell's Kitchen, New York and set off on his inevitable path towards the White House. Twice.
Next up is creepy new A24 offering, Heretic. Hugh Grant is just a man....standing before two girls....asking them to choose between belief and disbelief. It's the feel-good hit of the year.
Lorraine and Will loves them some A24 but is this just a copy of a copy?

Our heroes have done a 180 on the Monsters theme from last week and have now turned their attention to a more romantic prospect which is new Netflix comedy drama, Nobody Wants This?Watch Adam Brody and Kristin Bell navigate love and religion in this tale of a too-good-to-be-true guy and a really cool and fairly together girl who happen to treat each other fairly nicely which is a rare enough thing on TV.Swiftly followed by jazz-fusion juggernaut, Geordie Greep and his debut album, The New Sound.Geordie is your typical young man around town who likes to brag about his sexual prowess. He's also got a few choice words to say about your lady-parts, girls! It's all bravado and bluster and he soon reveals himself to be less than impressive, all set to a thunderous backdrop of jazz, salsa, rock and Broadway musical styles all played at a feverish pace.The usual mixed bag from Will and Lorraine. Enjoy!

Episode Notes
Our heroes return with another of their loosely themed shows. This time the theme is (arguably) monsters.
First up is Frankensteinesque body-horror fairy tale, The Substance. Will had to go see this one on his own as Lorraine was feeling squeamish. Not to worry, Will braved the relentless nudity for you all. See a return to form performance from Demi Moore and let us know if you agree with Will's take on The Substance as being a drug that was NOT ready for public consumption.
Next up, Lorraine and Will sit through 9 episodes of Ryan Murphy's new true crime series: Monsters, The Erik and Lyle Menedez story. It's a grim but slightly camp affair as we learn about 90's teen killers, Erik and Lyle and their ill-fated parents. Will Lorraine be able to get past the wigs she couldn't overcome in Murphy's similarly-toned OJ Simpson series from a few years ago?
Last up is Ellen Degeneres and her return to stand-up for a farewell lap before she bows out of the showbiz life she claims she has already been kicked out of. Can Ellen really be honest and deal with the allegations of unkindness that brought her talk show to an end? And, more importantly, can she be a funny comic again? Our pals, Lorraine and Will, will let you know.

This week, our heroes Lorraine and Will, try to get inside the mind of the man that gave us The Sopranos and some wonderfully and encouragingly bad student films, David Chase.They're looking at the new HBO documentary from Alex Gibney, Wise Guy.Fuhgeddaboutit! Except don't. It's really good and worth your time.
Next it's on to the Hollywood remake of the Danish film from two years ago, Speak No Evil. James McAvoy chews up the scenery as one half of a possibly quite mental couple who invite new friends they met on holiday to stay with them for the weekend. On their farm. In the middle of nowhere. In dirty beds.What could go wrong? Well, let Lorraine and Will tell you.
Enjoy!

This week our heroes take on a frustrating brace of films. First up is weirdly-wardrobed Blake Lively and her film, It Ends With Us. Spoiler Alert: It Ends With Some Very Low Ratings might be a better name.Lorraine spills the tea on the social media backlash towards Lively, and Will makes an inspired joke about the film and Lively's marketing efforts.
Next up is M. "Night" Shyamalan and his latest psychological thriller, Trap. Will and Lorraine feel like the protagonist trying to escape the stadium as they try and escape the illogical dumbness of the film itself.
It's not a banner week of recommendations but there are laughs to be had as usual.

In Space Nobody Can Hear You Podcast. This week, Lorraine and Will are trying to get to a sunnier planet just as their Summer holidays come to an end. If they could just get there without one of those pesky facehuggers ruining their plans, that'd be sweet.Before they head off, they are reviewing the latest installment in the Alien saga, Alien: Romulus. Will they survive? Will it be revealed that Lorraine's youthful appearance is because she's an Android living amongst us undetected? Or is Will going to look too closely into a leathery egg only to get a face hug from a space-crab?There's only one way to find out.
Then, they go even further north. To Belfast, this time. Kneecap are having their madcap, semi-made-up adventures, as Gaeilge.Is it a fresh new Irish take on the meeting of drugs, music and the Irish language, or is it Trainspotting from Wish.com?Again, there's only one way to....y'know....

Episode Notes
This week finds Lorraine, Will and three non-descript second-row band members pretending to harmonise, singing a soppy ballad to a group of kids in a school gym before being bundled into a van for two more shows that day.
Our heroes review new Netflix documentary, Dirty Pop, and find out the sordid story behind the backs of The Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. Who will turn out to be the Harry Styles of Pop Filter? One look at this weeks episode photo on Facebook will answer that question.
Next up, Will goes to the parallel bars while Lorraine takes a run towards the vault and hopes her case of The Twisties is behind her as they give their thoughts on Netflix documentary mini-series, Simone Biles Rising.
Will soon finds it more difficult than he anticipated to actually get onto the parallel bars, while Lorraine's case of The Twisties kicks in well before the actual vault, resulting in a spectacular fall and ten severely stubbed toes.

Episode Notes
If you let Lorraine Harton and Will in now, it could be niiiiice.
Our heroes return with a murder special. First up is Silence of The Lambs wannabe, Longlegs, where Nicolas Cage says the Devil made him do that stupid song he does.
Can Lorraine Harton or Will make any sense of the plot of this runaway success or are they just confused and astonished at the things very ordinary people say or don't say as much as they are with the unhinged, talcum-powdered madness of Longlegs himself?
Just as gruesomely followed up by the tale of Dublin's notorious Scissor Sisters. A new documentary series from Amazon about the discovery of (most of) a body in a Dublin canal and the efforts involved to figure out who it was and who put them there.
There are some mild spoilers for Longlegs but they are signposted.
Here's the Elvis Perkins (brother of the director) song that Will mentioned too.
It's called While You Were Sleeping and not 'something about babies' as Will said. There are babies mentioned in the first line, though.

Episode Notes
Will can barely contain his excitement as his old pal, Lorraine Harton, returns from her explorations in The East, where she was in search of exotic spices and the finest silks.
This week our reunited duo take on a firm favourite as Disney+ returns The Bear to our screens. 8 episodes of delicious food getting chucked in the bin just because the jus made from squirrel's tears was overdone by 2 seconds.
The dessert course this week is the new Amazon Prime documentary, I Am Celine Dion, in which the singer of the title tackles ageing and the poorly-named Stiff Person Syndrome to remind us all what a talented performer she was. Results will vary based on your tolerance to some quite strong cheese.

Episode Notes
Will Holds down the fort for another show as Lorraine is currently en route to Tokyo from Kyoto. Or maybe the other way around. There aren't many places where you can from one city to another where both cities are anagrams of each other.
Stepping into the breech this week is their old pal, Dave Curran. Dave is a friend and colleague from Coláiste Dhúlaigh like Nicky from the last show.
Dave was the host of a podcast called Inspireland where Pop Filter got it's start by putting out episodes under the Inspireland banner.
Inspireland is still available and is an excellent podcast with a wide range of guests including filmmaker Mark Cousins, documentarian Kirby Ferguson, author Jon Ronson and many more.
https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/inspireland-podcast/id840302259
This week, Dave and Will look at season 1 of Reservation Dogs and find a magical group of Native American teenagers and their struggle to escape the Oklahoma reservation they live in to go to California.
After that, talk turns to the decade-long decline in the relationship between rappers, Drake and Kendrick Lamarr. All of which has been documented in a string of diss tracks that have gone from arguing about who's the best rapper to much more serious and personal allegations.
Can two white Irishmen figure this one out? Of course!

This week, Lorraine is off helping the Japanese authorities with some podcasting issues they're having, so Will has turned to his old Podcast pal, Nicky Coghlan.Will and Nicky started making a podcast 15 years ago. Everyone has a podcast now but not 15 years ago they didn't!Will and Nicky talk about twisty-turny anthology series, Inside No. 9, which is currently heading for it's last ever episode. There are 9 series and you can watch the episodes in any order you like. You could do that with any series, really, but in this case, it makes no difference.
After that, the boys are transported back to a time when you could listen to music in crisp digital audio on your brand new discman, but only if you carried it around like a waiter would a tray of champagne flutes.The album on that discman? Moon Safari by Gallic lounge-futurists, Air.
Thanks to Nicky for stepping in and taking the time to do this!
You're the best, Nickers.

Episode Notes
After three (kind of)themed shows 'Fallout' and 'The Fall Guy', Pop Filthers week of rudeness with Challengers and Ashley Madison, and then the Anne Hathaway bonanza, this weeks theme is....the letter B. Our pals, Lorraine and Will, talk about Irish Twin Peaks wannabe show, Bodkin, and Billie Eilish's new album, Hit Me Hard & Soft.
As podcasters themselves, can Lorraine and Will attest to the faithfulness of Bodkin's representation of podcasters versus traditional journalists?
Also, can Billie convince our heroes to hit her both hard AND soft?There's only one way to find out on this weeks episode of Pop Filter.

Are you a Hathahater or a Fan Hathaway?Either way, our trusted heroes have a show for you. Anne Hathaway is back with a pair of films of varying quality (within each film as well as when compared to each other).
First up it's Hitchcockian grief-drama, Mother's Instinct. Can Lorraine or Will deduce just who is losing their mind between Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway? They've got 90 minutes to figure it out.
Next up is cradle-robbing, music drama, The Idea Of You, wherein Anne Hathaway has to pretend she doesn't look amazing for a woman of any age, let alone, her current age. It's the acting challenge of a lifetime!

This week Pop Filter HQ is now Pop FILTHER as our heroes look at the erotic tennis world of mixed thruples with new sports drama, Challengers. Love-All? It's more like Lust-All!
After that it's the latest in a relatively short string of documentaries on the hacking of marriage stress-test site, Ashley Madison, where it seems like 35 million men were telling 4 women that their wives didn't understand them.

Episode Notes
It's Fall Preview time at Pop Filter HQ as our heroes deliver not one, but two, items for review that have the word 'Fall' in their titles. That's where the concept ends. Don't go looking for hidden meanings. This idea is a mile wide and a millimetre deep.
Can Lorraine successfully make Amazon Prime's 'Fallout' one of her famous "Dinner Shows" or will it be too gruesome for Lorraine to enjoy her curry super-noodles and fish fingers?
Can Will get past his nostalgia for Lee Majors and his love for Heather Thomas in the original TV show to give 2024's version a fair shake?
This week's episode has all the answers.

This week our heroes test themselves by reviewing a thing that they don't like as much as they'd like to. Not much of a challenge, to be fair, but what if they told you they were reviewing Jennifer Lopez's new documentary, The Greatest Love Story NEVER Told? How would you feel about that?Well, Lorraine and Will want you to know that if they've made even one person feel that podcasting is possible, it will all have been worth it!
Next up our guys bring you fresh new Irish music in the form of Oisín Leech's debut album, Cold Sea.
To learn more about this weeks featured artists, check out Amazon Prime for J. Lo's documentary and Spotify/Apple Music etc and oisinleechmusic.com for info on their boy, Oisín Leech, and his upcoming shows.

This week our heroes go over to the dark side. First off, they wrestle alongside Amy Winehouse with her demons in the new biopic, Back to Black.
Then it's on to much more traditional demons in the form of late-night talk show horror film, Late Night With The Devil, where the main guest is actually....well the title kind of spoils it a bit.
Don't forget, you can contact your new favourite radio hosts via their ultra-modern, nay futuristic, email address [email protected]

Our heroes return for a triumphant second episode on Near FM (90.3FM/nearfm.ie) secure in the knowledge that last weeks episode was a huge hit or nobody with the power to cancel the show was listening. Either way, episode two is 'GO!'
This week, the team tackle Netflix psychodrama, Baby Reindeer, which proves to be an uncomfortable topic given the fact that Will sends dozens of texts and emails to Lorraine every day. It's mostly just him moaning about stuff, but still...
After that it is onto an unlikely choice from our daring duo with Beyonce's 8th studio album, Cowboy Carter.
If you want to hear two grown adults whining about having to sit through 27 songs over 80 minutes, you have come to the right place.

Episode Notes
So good they recorded it twice!
Our heroes return with a vengeance after the debacle of one of them losing the SD card containing their first recording of this episode. Will insists there is no need for anyone to know who lost the card.
This time, our favourite podcasting duo tackle two films which drove them to tears, The Iron Claw and All Of Us Strangers.
They also tackle the series 'One Day' which drove Will to tears of boredom. Lorraine is far more patient than he is.
There are spoilers but they are signalled in advance.
If you are skipping ahead to avoid spoilers once they've been signposted, here are the time stamps for each section.
It's at this point, I realised that Will forgot to record his One Day intro. Time for him to shuffle off to the podcast retirement home.
The Iron Claw: 2:18All Of Us Strangers: 44:15One Day: 1:04:55
