Dan Carlin's Hardcore History


 This is an epic history podcast, but the host is entertaining and informative. He takes one topic, like for example the First World War, and he does about ten episodes on the topic. Episodes are about 5 hours long, so it's more like listening to a book than a podcast. 5/5.

The Cat from Outer Space

  I am 100% sure I watched this film when I was a kid. It was on the Disney hour on Sunday evening. I watched it with my family and I remember most of what happens in the movie, which is kind of crazy.  The film is called the Cat from Outer Space and that basically explains all of the plot. The cat is very ably voiced by Roddy McDowell and the film is directed by Norman Tokar who did a lot of these Disney films in the '60s and '70s.  Interestingly for Mash fans, it stars Harry Morgan and McLean Stevenson. Harry Morgan played the first commander of the unit and McLean Stevenson actually replaced him on Mash.It's a mash-centric movie and it sort of feels like the answer to the question, what if Disney made a MASH sci-fi movie for kids? A bit boring in parts, but it definitely holds up and is worth a watch.

  This is a trivia show for the podcast age. It is unique from other game shows in that the guests actually pick the topic that they want to be asked about, and usually they have an expert who is connected to the topic to decide if the player got the answers right. The players are usually people from the entertainment industry, so they know how to keep an audience entertained.  4/5
