What's Your Greatest Weakness? [Ep56 ft Ben's Dad]

Ben's Dad makes his seasonal return to The Conversation Hat Podcast to chat about lightsabers, crappy job interview questions and much more besides. Ben's Dad doesn't want to plug anything, he just likes having a chat.

====================================

SHOW NOTES

As briefly touched-upon in the podcast, lightsabers in the Star Wars franchise are powered by Kyber Crystals which also determine the colour of the blade. The crystals are harvested by young Jedi and the process turns the crystal to a specific colour. Sith and Dark-Side users, rather than harvesting the crystals in the "proper" way, will dominate them which turns the colour to red - hence all the evil dudes having red swords. You can read more about Kyber Crystals and much, much more Star Wars lore, (there's lots), over on Wookiepedia.

For music fans, we're updating the way our Patreon rewards work slightly - specifically the free music downloads. Anyone and everyone will now be able to listen to music from the show, (on SoundCloud, for example), but downloads will remain a patron-only reward. Log in to Patreon to learn how to access your downloads.

====================================

HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW

Our plan is that this show will always be available for free, but super fans are encouraged to support The Conversation Hat via Patreon. There’s a whole bunch of rewards available for doing so, including your own Conversation Hat hat, downloads of music written for the show and early access to episodes: www.patreon.com/conversationhat

If patronage isn't up your street, then maybe this is for you: Super Loot want to deliver a box of nerdy merch and geek chic to your doorstep each month, and will do so for £19.99, (you can get your first one for £15!) Take a gander, right flippin' now! www.superloot.co.uk/ConversationHat

If you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine by the way, I guess), there are a few ways you can do that: feel free to follow us on Twitter and retweet anything you see us post; like us on Facebook and hit as many thumbs-up icons as you possibly can; Follow StabbedPandaTV on YouTube, watch some of the Conversation Hat videos hosted on there and leave some nice comments on the videos as well; leaving us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also massively helpful, especially so on iTunes.

For updates and such, you can sign-up to our mailing list right here: eepurl.com/bNX8A1

Scent-Sational! [Ep50 ft Roman]

This episode features the sketch Detective Bastard, written by Liam & Laura, voiced by Ben, with music by Liam.

====================================

SHOW NOTES

This episode went out a few weeks earlier than it should have - we thought, rather than retracting and fussing we'd just embrace the mistake and have an episode released at a weird time! For those interested, this should have been episode 8 and would have been released to the public on June 24th. Oh well!

SHOW NOTES

Si mentioned the Gilbert O'Sullivan song, Alone Again (Naturally), in our conversation about songs that bring a tear to his eye. Interestingly, this track was sampled heavily by rapper Biz Markie and caused one of the first big court cases around copyright infringement through sampling. You can have a listen to the sampled elements on Who Sampled.

SHOW NOTES

When asked, Holly was most surprised by Bioshock - a franchise which Liam & Laura have enjoyed in-depth, a few times over. Bioshock is a lore-rich franchise, taking place in an under-water dystopian ruin. We highly recommend Bioshock, Bioshock 2and Bioshock Infinite.

If you're interested in some of the other titles we discussed, please see the following links: Minecraft; Dance Dance Revolution (DDR);

Liam & Ben did, in the end, get round to playing some Hydro Thunder on PSOne. You can watch the entire thing unfold below, in all it's pixelated glory!

Enjoy!

We also spoke about the Film Theory episode in which they discuss the idea that there is no Blair Witch, and the two fellers in the movie are actually the murderers - say whaaaa...

SHOW NOTES

It might be a bit messed-up to suggest we watch some Disney, given the context in which we discussed them today, but screw it! ... Or, don't!... Anyway... We pretty much covered all the bases with this film, but who do you like? Meg? Hercules? Hades? ... PHIL!?

#TeamPhil

We briefly dabbled in numbers today, but if you feel like you need more numbers in your life then why not check out this simple guide to Numerology? There are 24 numbers in this sentence, maybe you will be sent to prison for that many years for a crime you did not commit? Maybe not. That's how Numerology works, as far as I know.

Beating-Up Schoolchildren, Sexy Koalas and King Werewolf! [Ep16 ft Jay Plent]

This week's guest is singer and guitarist of Cambridge rock band Too Cool Kid, Jay Plent. You can, (and should), check out Too Cool Kid and download their entire repertoire from BandCamp, or get news and that from their Facebook page.

SHOW NOTES

Here are some of the things we spoke about in this episode.

First off, What We Do In The Shadows is a mockumentary film featuring some of the chaps from Flight Of The Concords. A household of vampires are interviewed about attempt to integrate in society and deal with the everyday trials and tribulations of being a vampire.

When we spoke about zombie movies, we accidentally referred to World War Z as something else... Whoops... The book version of World War Z is a series of mini stories about a zombie out-break and what different people do to combat it or survive around the world. The film version puts Brad Pitt in the role of all the people, and awkwardly throws him around the planet with little information given as to why...

Everyone Gets A Fiver [Ep15, ft Kay Blayney]

Today's guest and mediator-of-the-inevitable-craziness is Kay Blayney. Kay is a host on Cambridge 105, as well as working in various arts-related and education positions. We discuss our ideal celebrity, built from other celebrities' body parts; what laws we would enact should we suddenly rise to power; and whether or not you yawn in your sleep.

SHOW NOTES

Liam chose to incorporate singer and actor Danny Kaye into his Celebrity-Frankenstein. You can find a copy of the original Secret Life Of Walter Mitty movie, or indeed anything else by Danny Kaye, with this link.

Should you fancy listening to a duck-related song which isn't a bit segregatie and unpleasant, here you go:

Ben's dinner party guest was Charlie Brooker who created amongst other things, Black Mirror - a dark exploration of technology and societal norms. Sometimes humorous, and always deeply intriguing. You can get get a hold of seasons 1 & 2 with this link right here, and keep an eye on Channel 4 for new episodes.

Lastly, why not grab a copy of Carry On Screaming and check out the weird zombie-werewolf-Frankenstein things that are Oddbod and Oddbod Jr, (they're both Homo Gargantuoso, apparently). We're reliably informed that this is the least bawdy and offensive of all Carry On films, so it's got that going for it. Grab a copy with this link here.
