CATCH UP WITH HEY FAM!

troopers

I record a podcast every week called HEY FAM with my pal Angus Truskett. Every week we make jokes about all the hot content we’ve consumed, mostly geeking out over comic books, video games, movies, TV etc. We ask funny mates to come join us every other week, sometimes we even get on some actual industry people with real careers! Hey Fam is almost 20 episodes deep now, and I haven’t written about the podcast since episode eight, so here’s a stack of links and pics for the last nine episodes! The easiest way to hear them all is to subscribe on iTunes, but you can also stream it on Stitcher or on our Libsyn page. Enjoy hearing me waffle about things I love with people I love! Follow more of our adventures on the Hey Fam Facebook page.

Episode 9: The Boys Are Back in Town (with Radge and Eb Yusuf)

Radge and Eb Yusuf spend half their time and all their money watching movies in Gold Class. They are the 1%, and the only people on the planet that liked the Fantastic Four movie, so we got them both on to discuss the best and worst of superhero movies, from the depths of Daredevil and Elektra to the soaring heights of The Winter Soldier. We also ask them to recommend TV shows to fill the True Detective sized hole in our hearts AND we respond to the biggest beef in podcast history – the heroes of Hey Fam versus those scum at the Blank Slate Movie Podcast!

becky

Becky Lucas is a comedian and also the woman responsible for our LEWDEST EPISODE YET! Get ready for thrills, Wils and grills when we ask our first guest who doesn’t watch TV, see movies, play games or read comics to talk to us about TV, movies, games and comics! Marvel as we compare Disneyland to Banksy’s new art stinker ‘Dismal-land’, justify our embarrassing tattoos and serve up another hot slab of beef to our sworn enemies at The Blank Slate Movie Podcast!
lewi
This week we stole Lewi McKirdy, the voice of Australia’s youth, from the triple j studios and forced him to reveal unbelievable facts about himself to us over the course of 90 minutes. Did you know he’s an obsessive iPhone gamer who has at one point held the highest scores in the world for some apps? Or that he recently entered himself into a Mario Kart 64 tournament and has a man crush on a particularly beautiful Nintendo rep? Or that he was on an MTV reality show that saw him swap lives with an American farmer? Also, once he peed his pants on a flight to Hawaii. We learnt all these things about Lewi and learnt a few things about ourselves, like how Angus gets an abscess every time a Metal Gear Solid game comes out, or how Levins still doesn’t know if it’s Sex And The City or Sex And The City. Listen and learn with us, and who knows, maybe you’ll learn something about ~yourself~.
meeting
It’s our first all musical episode with our special guests, the Godfathers of Australian Dance Music: The Meeting Tree! We invited Joyride and Raph to talk about movies, TV, video games and comic books – but end up talking about the ARIA awards, memes and the fact that Raph hasn’t seen a movie since Avatar. Plus Joyride books flights to Brisbane during this episode and it’s an absolute thrill to listen to.
steele
We invited Steele Saunders, comedian and host of the hit podcasts Steele Wars and I Love Green Guide Letters, into the Hey Fam studios and we made him cry! Actually, he made himself cry as he recounted his emotional journey through Hall H for this year’s Star Wars panel at ComicCon. It’s an all Star Wars episode this week, while Steele isn’t crying we get amped about The Force Awakens, go over the revisions made to the first trilogy and recount our Force Friday experiences. We actually interviewed a line of Star Wars fans out the front of a Toys ‘R’ Us for the midnight launch last week and crammed that into this jam packed episode too.
