EPISODE 39 - Hook (1991) - 19-02-24 - "That's A Floggin' Looly"
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Well, my stupid, sorry, parasitic sacks of entrails… a new episode awaits your listening pleasure.
Clear out the wax in your ears and use it to curl your moustache, because this week, we're talking about Steven Spielberg’s version of Peter flockin’ flyin’ Pan - Hook (1991)!
Peter Pan was a big deal to me. After having been to see the play, I rolled up paper and stuck it down the back of my shirt to emulate the wires the actors flew on and I ran around the house like that, flying and fighting Captain Hook. You can imagine my surpise when the men came to take me away. But I've been back for two weeks now and have never felt better.
But digression is a mortal sin, and I do digress.
Blah blah steamboat pickle schnozz on a pile of poo.
What follows is two hours long. Yes, two. Not one, not one and a half. Two.
My advice? Strap in. But get your enema first.
We have some preliminary discussions about the re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace on it's 25th anniversary and sex, two uneasy bedfellows.
Our quiz this week was sponsored by Hyperbollick Bollix and is a collossal waste of time and resources, so enjoy that. Si sure did!
And of course, our awfully big adventure with Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts, whose feet remain clean almost throughout (damn that inkpad) and all of whom are upstaged by a red mohawk.
Now, I want you to bend your heads ever so slightly. A little more...that's it. And brace yourselves listeners, because this...is really going to hurt...

EPISODE 38 - Arachnophobia (1990) - 17-01-24
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
What's your greatest phobia?
Si and Jonny delve deeply into the weird and baffling world of fear in this week's episode, our first one back in over 3 months!
Are you excited? Are you hopping up and down with glee? Are you perspiring with unfettered joy? Or is it more a case of a subtle raise of the eyebrows and a muttering of "oh, right..." before adding this to a perpetually growing queue of podcast episodes that you won't get to before 2026, if it even survives the inevitable purge in a few month's time?
Cynical? Moi?
Well, seeing as no-one reads this, I can say whatever I want, can't I? I like I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Yes, I do. It's not the best, but I like it, so you can shove it up your arse. Yes, I've gone rogue and I don't care who knows it. I used to eat Coco Pops out of two plastic cups. One with Coco Pops and milk in it and one with just Coco Pops for a refill. It was glorious. I used to lie on my bed, watch 24 and eat it with a plastic spoon. I bloody loved it and I'm not even ashamed. The song "Hello, Hello, Hello" by Remi Wolf is on my playlist and I don't skip it when it comes on. You wanna start something? Come on! I'm right here! The ship sinks! Bruce Willis is a ghost! It's a sled!!!
Ahem...
Sorry about that. I seem to have gotten Gizmo wet and fed the offspring after midnight...
So here's another episode, we talked about Jaws...er...Arachnophobia.
The one with the spiders and Harry from Speed.
Peace out.

EPISODE 37 - Sleepy Hollow (1999) - 04-10-23
Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
Welcome to spooooooky season on WOSN! This week we reviewed Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, a ghoulish tale of a murdering spectre with a tendency to lop awff the noggin.
Why does that make Jonny Northern? No idea. It just happened. Best to just go with it.
Along the drawn out way we hit the usual spots - Trivia Corner, VFX Cavalcade of Whatever, Movie News and yet another quiz that had Si scratching his...head.
So, grab yourselves a nightcap, settle down by the fire and lock your doors. Don't worry, he won't come for you unless you've pissed off Miranda Richardson lately...
Enjoy another steaming cup of Si and Jonny this Halloween as we delve into the mysterious happenings of...Sleepy Hollow.
THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED THE DAY BEFORE SIR MICHAEL GAMBON PASSED AWAY. IN SLEEPY HOLLOW, HE PLAYS THE ROLE OF BALTUS VAN TASSEL. WE'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS EPISODE TO HIM. RIP AND WELCOME TO THE LAYER CAKE, HARRY.

BONUS EPISODE - Typecasting and WOSN in the Park - “A Prominent Schnozz” - 24-08-23
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Summer is still here. It just won't go away. And yet, we managed a bonus episode to keep you going until such time as we can peel ourselves back up off the floor and get back to it.
This episode is made up of two discussions that unintentionally wound up connecting to each other.
We talked typecasting, Alan Rickman was mentioned.
A couple of weeks later we recorded, on Si's PHONE ( the shaaaame!) an impromptu discussion on the subject of THAT nose while with our kids in the park. The results...well, I'll let you decide.

EPISODE 36 - Speed (1994) - 17-08-23
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Thursday Aug 17, 2023
Si was a bit impatient during this one. He felt that an episode concerning the movie Speed should run at a brisk pace.
I had other plans, clearly. I say clearly, because editing this thing during the summer holidays with work and kids on my back, I haven't heard this since we recorded it two weeks ago, so here I am scolding my past self for being, well, annoying.
The main thing is that it's here. It managed to pull it's way up from limbo and into your delicate ears, much like one of those parasite things from Star Trek 2.
So here we go. Pop quiz, hotshot. There's an episode of WOSN, it's an hour or so long and you've only got half an hour to listen to it. What do you do?
Well, listen to the first half hour, put it on pause and then listen to the rest later. You nonce.

EPISODE 35 - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) - 07-07-23
Friday Jul 07, 2023
Friday Jul 07, 2023
Last week, the Duke of Buttley and Lord Fartlebee went to see Indiana Jones and the Vial of Density and we recorded this episode in the car on the way home. While our opinions of the movie haven't changed, fridge logic has now set in and we've found even more holes in it than Sonny Corleone.
BEWARE, HERE BE SPOILERS. ARRRRR!
But before we got to that, Si voiced his thoughts on last week's interview with my very special guest (our very first "previously on WOSN") and you can listen to some more out of date movie news!
So, set the alarms on your dials of destiny, because this is one episode you won't want to miss.

EPISODE 34 - Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) “Pastrami! Pastrami!” - 28-06-23
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Thursday Jun 29, 2023
Hello, and welcome to the new What's Our Seat Number. No longer the frivolous, whimsical, sarcastic and erotic podcast that you're used to. Instead we will now approach each subject with serious, sober reflection and a grave, businesslike demenour. You can call us Fred Austere. This podcast is now officially dour and funereal.
Right down to that strange hiccuping, burping noise Si made. He also channels Luis from Ant-Man for some of the finest summarising anyone's ever done, ever.
This week, we review Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' classic Raiders of the Lost Ark, for no apparent reason other than we wanted to. No-one else has done anything Indiana Jones-centric this month at all, and there's nothing significant happening in the world of Indiana Jones right now.
We also decided to keep it short, glossing over each scene with never so much as more than a passing mention, for a paltry 2 hours, making this one of our shortest episodes ever for a film we really have no nostalgia, reverence or even a mild passion for. It's really just a big dud, isn't it? Perfectly round boulders made of fibreglass? Ha. Bollocks. That's not realistic at all. Boulders are made of rock. Idiots.
Si came up with an awesome Indy quiz that stumped Jonny more frequently than once...and quick visits to Trivia Corner and VFX Attic reveal Raiders' secrets that you can likely Google and find more quickly than it took us to talk about them.
Hear Si complain about the speed of our progress every few minutes (which invariably slows us down further) and hear Jonny pronounce Toht as Tote several times (that’s how Spielberg says it, but maybe it’s pronounced Tot?)
PLUS! Jonny brings on a very special guest to talk about her opinion of Raiders' ending, something they disagree on, but Jonny's stuck with her, so what to do... witness the podcast debut of Michal Gross, Jonny’s missus.
So sit back and relax, because this ramble will take you on a journey. Where, you ask? I don't know, we're making this up as we go...
POD ART - Once again Si has conjured up some awesome episode art for this episode. I'm just glad he didn't go with the mooning golden idol with my face on it...

BONUS EPISODE - The Flash (2023) NOW WITH EXTRA SI! - 22-06-23
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
You wanna get nuts? I know a place that sells nuts and many assorted snacks! Let's get some nuts!
This week's episode is a solo affair, and no, I'm not talking about a middling Star Wars movie...or wanking...I just went to see a film that my partner in pod and biological brother, Si, has not seen.
I took an afternoon off and went to see The Flash by my lonesome. The film stars intermittently annoying Ezra Miller as the Scarlet Speedster, while a couple of previous Batmen show up to ensure audience turnout.
In the words of Louis from The Princess and the Frog - it didn't end well. Box office has been somewhat below expectations for Andy Muschietti's fanbaiting multiverse flick, despite some positive reactions, and while it is an amusing way to pass a couple of hours and Michael Keaton is always welcome, there are some issues that keep it from achieving greatness.
Listen on for my thoughts!
UPDATE!
This episode now comes with a generous helping of SI!
Si unexpectedly watched the movie and we chatted about it right here in this updated episode!
!!SPOILER ALERT!!

EPISODE 33 - Superman II (1980, 2006) - “Thoopahman” - 11-06-23
Sunday Jun 11, 2023
Sunday Jun 11, 2023
In 1980, Superman II was released to great fanfare and adoration, but it was NOT credited to original director Richard Donner. Donner had in fact been removed from the project halfway through the simultaneous filming of both movies and Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers '73) was brought in to replace him. The result is vastly different to what was planned. In 2006 Donner got the chance to unearth his discarded footage and recut the film to suit his original vision. Is it better? Is it worse? Well, that's what we're here to talk about!
We compare and contrast both films exhaustively with another visit to trivia corner (hosted this week by a pair of invading Daleks) and some more Jonny and Si bants that you can only get right here!

I'm going to teach you all something very very valuable right now about podcasting. Prepare yourselves, because these are pearls of wisdom right here.
The key to having a successful podcast is CONSISTENCY.
So here we are, willy nilly releasing episodes a couple of weeks apart, a couple of months apart...our last full episode was mid-April...so...yeah. Consistency. Always consistency.
Having said that, this episode is a cracker!
Where else can you get Movie News that's over a month old without going back and listening to old...
...
...yeah, I suppose you could do that. And why not? We have fun, don't we?
This week's episode deals with the absolute clusterfuck that was the making of Superman The Movie and Superman II.
And next week, we go into to detail comparing and contrasting Superman II the theatrical cut with the more recent Richard Donner Cut, the original director who was fired after having completed 80% of Superman II and was given a chance in 2006 to realise his vision. Also, we got a couple of Daleks to do Trivia Corner, so listen out for that...
Also be sure to take a gander at Si's pod art for this week, it's bloody gorgeous!
Enjoy!
