Waffle On about A View To A Kill Hello and welocme to part 2 of 12 celebrating 1985. On this episode we are very lucky to be joined by regular guest host Mr Peter Coleman. He adores this movie, and so does Meds. Kell however has other feelings.  Roger Moore stars in his final adventure in the tux, he looks a bit ropey bless him but we love the old spy and he bows out with some dubious stuntmen and some even more dubious face lifts. Still banter is large on this episode so we hope you enjoy it.  As usual please do come along and join our Facebook group, we have a great friendly community there and you get to have extra waffle fun.

Waffle On about The Golden Voyage of Sinbad Its Christmas time and its part 12 of 12 celebrating 1973.  What a film to end on, this classic was always shown (here in the UK) either on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. Its a bit dubious in parts in todays standards which is why it doesnt get shown much nowadays which is a shame. Still we dont care and we loved it.  We have an announcement regarding next years episodes and of course a Christmas treat for those who listen right to the very end.  As always please do share our podcast, thank you for listening, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Meds and Kell

The Last Detail Its part 11 of 12 celebrating 1973 and we have good old Jack Nicholson to smile and raise an eyebrow through the whole of this episode. Yes its the 1973 film The Last Detail also starring a very youn (and sane) Randy Quaid and Otis Young.  The film is a journey from Navy base to Navy prison as Signalman 1st Class Billy Buddusky and Gunners mate 1st Class Richard Mulhall escort young prisoner seaman Laurence Meadows to his final destination (well for 8 years) due to him attempting to steal $40. They get into some scrapes but ultimately its buddy movie in the cold. Please do share our podcast and come and join us on Facebook as we have a great group of people to join in with quality chat.
