Genuine Chit-Chat: Recent Episodes
Mike Burton
A weekly podcast hosted by Mike Burton - "Honest Conversations With Interesting People". Every podcast is about something different with a different guest, ranging from musicians to travellers, to those suffering with mental illnesses, talking about movies, sex, hobbies, morality, politics and much more!
Genuine Chit-Chat is back, and what better way to finish a hiatus than to have Gough of Beernuts Productions return for his tenth visit?
Mike & Gough talk about his newest two films; the narrative-driven “Mr X” and the gag-filled sketches in “Trick Or Treat”, including working with younger actors, the costumes designs and more behind-the-scenes elements that indie filmmakers must consider. Towards the end, Gough also talks about his recent time in an Australian airport where he almost missed his flight, due to the lack of assistance.

Educator & podcaster Tony Holt Jr continues his thoughts on Ralph Ellison’s essays; Shadow and Act this week!
This massive conversation had to be split in two (all Patreon supporters had both parts two weeks ago), but this week in part 2, Tony & Mike’s discussion on Ellison’s writing style continues! They delve deeper into specific essays and how they bring forward often overlooked perspectives, including some in Harlem. The duo also talk about how short a time it’s been since the major developments in the Civil Rights era around the 1960s and even the 13th Amendment from around 100 years prior.
Their first Ellison discussion on GCC was in ep 260 (February 2025) delving deep into Ellison’s most famous written work; Invisible Man.

Educator & podcaster Tony Holt Jr returns to GCC to talk about the first of Ralph Ellison’s essays; Shadow and Act!
This massive conversation had to be split in two (all Patreon supporters already have it in full), but this week in part 1, Tony & Mike discuss Ellison’s writing style and the value & timelessness of the essays. The two come from different perspectives (Tony: a Black American and Mike: a White Englishman) and not only discuss how a healthy dialogue can be made, but also spend their time deconstructing the meaning and value of such discussions and the work of these essays, both on specific parts and on the overall themes within. Although we encourage you to read these essays, they are not essential to enjoying this incredibly important discussion on one of the 20th Century’s most talented and prolific authors.
Their first Ellison discussion on GCC was in ep 260 (February 2025) delving deep into Ellison’s most famous written work; Invisible Man.
Part 2 will release in two weeks, but if you want early access, as well as bonus episodes, including extra episodes for Spooky Season, including the Candyman and the Scooby-Doo movies, and more! Support at www.patreon.com/GenuineChitChat or https://ko-fi.com/GenuineChitChat

The Forbidden Worlds Film Festival reviews conclude with 1962’s Japanese Moby Dick adaptation; The Whale God
Mike & Spider-Dan delve into the 1962 kaiju/Moby Dick movie The Whale God, which Mike was hugely looking forward to watching but it has some controversial topics within – although it’s not gratuitous, note the sexual assault trigger warning.
Neither Mike or Dan had seen or heard of this movie before, due to its non-existent UK release, so they were excited to watch it on an IMAX screen at Forbidden Worlds – they review the movie in-depth, talking about the plot, dialogue and kaiju for the first 30 minutes, then give the trigger warning and discuss the sexual assault scenes and the plot implications & character reactions that follow.
Although this is the last review, Mike & Dan still have some interviews to release, so keep an eye out for those before GCC returns to the more regular interview-style pods!

Clone Wars Conversations continues with the Legacy Multimedia Project, with content following the show’s cancellation in 2014, and in this episode Dave, Maff & Mike delve into the four unfinished episode that make up the Crystal Crisis arc, which were fully voice-acted and had been almost fully animated.
In detail, these episodes centre around Obi-Wan & Anakin investigating the disappearance on a Jedi on Utapau, after Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan & Anakin’s relationship is tested as cracks begin to show in Anakin’s composure while a mysterious giant Kyber crystal is discovered, set before the events of Season 7. Our trio discuss each episode in-depth, provide additional context & lore, and talk about whether or not these episodes are essential to understanding the final season of The Clone Wars and beyond!
The four episodes are; A Death On Utapau, In Search Of The Crystal, Crystal Crisis and The Big Bang.

Clone Wars Conversations continues with the Legacy Multimedia Project, where content was released from unused Clone Wars episodes following the show’s cancellation in 2014, and in this episode Dave, Maff & Mike delve into the 4-issue comic series Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir!
In detail, this comic centres around Darth Maul after his capture by Palpatine/Sidious in the fifth season of the Clone Wars following his Mandalore-takeover, noting his torture, escape and the eventual plot that unfolds around Dooku and Mother Talzin, set before the events of Season 7. Our trio discuss each issue in-depth, provide additional context & lore, and talk about how much they enjoyed the comics and if they’re necessary for the overall story of The Clone Wars.
Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir was written by Jeremy Barlow with penciller Juan Frigeri, inker Mauro Vargas and colour artist Wes Dzioba, and was published by Dark Horse in 2014 and re-published by Marvel in 2017.
The next 2 releases will continue the Clone Wars Legacy project, with the four unfinished episodes of the Utapau Crystal Crisis next (watch them here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdaXc2wzwv4&t=100s) and finishing with the Dark Disciple novel featuring Quinlan Vos & Asajj Ventress! Once completed, the trio will move onto the final (seventh) season of The Clone Wars!

Mike is honoured to welcome Anthony D Holt Jr (Tony Holt), to talk about the relevance of Ralph Ellison’s 1962 novel Invisible Man to today’s society, what we can learn and why Tony wrote an essay comparing it to Black Panther!

Mike & Tony also talk about Tony’s home city of Detroit, other works by Ellison and so much more – this conversation is important to every person on this planet.

This week Mike speaks with Louise; the second alter from the Doug Vincent System to appear on GCC, to explain how the alters within the system have used the MBTI Personality Test to better understand themselves and their roles.
In more detail, Louise starts by speaking about her “awakening” within the system, before answering some questions from you (the lovely GCC audience) about DID, including alters “switching” control over the body.
Louise then provides an in-depth explanation about what the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) is, how it was created, what the letters actually mean and how their system utilizes it for the different alters.Mike also took the test and is a Protagonist (ENFJ-A), with the “Diplomat” role and his strategy is “People Mastery” – he explains his results in more detail and he & Louise discuss what they mean. Louise also prepared a quiz for Mike where he guesses which Star Wars and Marvel characters would have what type of MBTI personality – listen to the entire conversation to hear the results!
To do the personality test yourself, completely for free, visit www.16personalities.com
Louise mentioned the book Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type by Isabel Briggs Myers & Peter B. Myers.

Greetings Programs! 2024’s final episode of Disney Discussions is Mike’s choice; TRON (1982) & TRON: Legacy (2010)!
In more detail, Mike first talks about why he chose this classic movie and it’s legacy sequel, then each person talks about their first memories of TRON. After going through the numerous characters, plot points and special effects of the original, the gang talk about the same things in Legacy while comparing them to TRON. Special effects and visuals are a huge part of TRON’s appeal, but is it enough to make a satisfying sequel? Spider-Dan has also read some TRON comics and has watched the animated series TRON: Uprising, which he talks about too.
SPOILER WARNING: aside from the two TRON movies that are discussed in-depth, the movie Ex-Machina is spoiled around the 40 minute mark, so be aware!

It’s all about dogs! In this episode of Disney Discussions, it was Megan’s pick, so we tackled the animated classics Fox And The Hound (1981) and Lady And The Tramp (1955)!
In more detail, Megan starts by explaining why she chose these two movies, before the other 3 talk about their first memories of them. They then talk about Fox And The Hound at length, talking about it’s characters, animation and songs, before delving into Lady And The Tramp to talk about the same! They then compare the two movies in all aspects to decide which they prefer and along the way they also talk about the bad pet owners in both movies! Keep an ear out for Mike “putting his foot in it” around the 40 minute mark (all the subsequent ribbing was in jest)!

This week continues the existential conversation with actor, podcaster and deep-thinker; Thomas Rochester, talking about the concept of the soul & God, before & after death, prophetic dreams and so much more!
This release is part 2, where the conversation on deep thought continues; Mike & Thomas delve into prophetic dreams and talk about their own experiences, discuss past memories and alternate perspectives. Thomas then talks about communicating with one’s soul and how our physical forms limit certain knowledge which leads into a few of Thomas’ anecdotes. As their conversation draws to a close, the duo discuss how science & spirituality can work in tandem, an anecdote about vibrations and more – these podcasts are definitely for the deep/philosophical thinkers among you!
Last week was part 1 of the conversation, where Mike & Thomas loosely explained their theories on life and their respective relationships with religion, before delving deep into existentialism, self-care, the idea that we are all God (& if such a being exists) and Thomas talks about some literature that delves into these sorts of concepts (details below). The duo also discuss meditation, anchor points and more!
Thomas mentioned numerous things in this conversation including;

As live-action Star Wars shows have paused for the moment, our trio of rebels have continued with their review of Star Wars: Rebels with season 2! This is Maff’s first time watching too, so hearing his reactions is very interesting!
In more detail, this episode is a sequel to the first season of Rebels and the trio’s first RR episode, so make sure you go back and listen to that if you haven’t already, but in this episode, they discuss how season 2 feels different from season 1, it’s comparisons to Andor and the best & worst parts of the show (including sound design). Maff then notes how he’s been consuming far more Star Wars content than he expected, Dave talks about The Clone Wars and then they discuss Hondo Ohnaka and the purrgils. The trio then delve into Ahsoka’s character and of course, the finale; Twilight Of The Apprentice!

TRIGGER WARNING! This week Mike speaks with Shaun Hamilton; writer of the book “When your Partner Says #MeToo: Your Role And Responsibilities In Their Recovery Process”, to talk about the book itself and what a someone’s role is when their partner is attempting to recover from sexual violence.
In more detail, their conversation begins with Shaun explaining why he wrote the book, the sexual violence his wife has experienced and how that affects him as a partner. Shaun then explains the “three paths” illustrating the mindsets one can have as a partner of someone going through recovery, the methodology used in his book and the environment one must create, Shaun then explains the difficulties he faced in writing a book of this nature, his definition of recovery and his wife’s experience with Rapid Resolution Therapy (TED Talk link detailing this below), plus other related topics – this is an intense, but incredibly important listen.

So for this week’s part, the conversation on consciousness continues but please be advised on a trigger warning, as rape is mentioned as an example during the discussion. For clarity, the rest of their conversation tackles abtract ideas, the equalisation of the universe, how the universe may have started, the causation of consciousness, the “fountain of existence”, free will & determinism, one’s self and more!
In case you missed it, part 1 of their chat started with the “passive apocalypse” and the polarising political system in America before delving into the main conversation topic; the concept of “good & evil”. Mike & Jack discuss whether “good” or “evil” even exist, as well as the historical retelling of events that alter perception, whether or not intent can affect the “goodness” of an action, religion’s impact of the perception of evil, heaven & hell and consciousness!

Hello there! Instead of a standard episode of Genuine Chit-Chat, this week Mike wanted to showcase his new show; Star Wars: Comics In Canon – found on the podcast feed of our friends at Comics In Motion!
This release is both episodes 0 & 1 rolled into one! Episode 0 is where Mike explains what you can expect from SW Comics In Canon going forward along with what “Canon/Legends” in SW is and the timeline of the movies, while episode 1 is about The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic and kyber crystal “bleeding” – this show is for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (we’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, we’re sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon, through the comic-book lens!
Regarding content discussed in Episode 1, for the best listening, ensure you’ve seen The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi, seeing The Rise Of Skywalker is suggested but it’s not essential and there will be no spoilers for it within – this comic series takes place around 6 years before the events of Episode VII: The Force Awakens; so as TFA is 34 ABY, this comic mini-series is around 28 ABY (flashbacks between 18-25 ABY).
The Rise Of Kylo Ren is written by Charles Soule, with Will Sliney as the artist and Guru eFX as the colourist, issue #1 released December 2019 & issue #4 released March 2020.
If anyone has questions about Star Wars or the show in general, send Mike an email at StarWarsComicsInCanon@outlook.com.
Next week will be back to the usual GCC shows, so if you’re not into Star Wars, check in next week!

This week is something a little bit different – as I (Mike) am going to Mexico for 10 days, I wanted to take a break from podcasting so I wouldn’t have to work while away and to ensure I don’t rush any upcoming episodes.

To be clear to any first-time listeners, this is more of a bonus episode to explain to anyone not following on social media that I’ll be away for 2 weeks, why that is and what you can expect going forward, so I’ll speak with you all on Sunday 25th!
In this solo ramble I mentioned a few podcasts to check out including #52 with Bill M of The Church Of Satan, episodes #48 & #65 with Gough, the blind filmmaker from Australia, #54 with Heather of The Brave Files, #63 with Comics In Motion and #24 with my brother Rob, Remembering Our Late Father – all of these can be found in the usual places and while I’m on the break, it’s worth checking out the rest of the back catalogue too!

This week, Dom is back, this time for a discussion about politics; especially discussing Brexit, the left & the right and how we must find balance between them, the “ideal world” and much more!
As shown by the above, this week is much more of a political podcast than the standard and as Dom & Mike are from England, the political realms of England is what is primarily spoken about, however among this, minimum wage, hard work, communism, accountability, a sprinkling of American politics and the rapper Akala are all also discussed!
Last week’s chat with Dom was vastly different to this weeks and listing everything they discussed would take far too long (and would be dull to read) but a few notable topics were language & the differences between UK-English and American-English, how hard it is for our generation to buy property, the younger generation and the internet days just-before Facebook, so be sure to check that one out if you fancy a chat less about politics and more about everything else!

This week’s chat is all over the place in all the right ways – there’s no specific genre or topic; just two dudes having a discussion about this, that & everything, including how apparently great it is to drive barefoot?
Dom is the returning guest this week, with a conversation that doesn’t stop bouncing from subject to subject – listing everything would take far too long (and would be dull to read) but a few notable topics were language & the differences between UK-English and American-English, how hard it is for our generation to buy property, the younger generation and the internet days just-before Facebook.
As well as the above, men’s outfits, clothing and shoes are discussed in a surprising amount of detail, the differences we found in school between boys & girls (including the term “Tomboy”), pizza, dog names and Dom’s great advice “opening a window is free” – these and more are all discussed this week!
Next week Dom is back again, but it’ll be for a more specific discussion about politics, especially discussing Brexit, the left & the right and how we must find balance between them, the “ideal world” and much more!

This week brings part 2 of Mike’s chat with Rhys & Josh regarding video games and this part is primarily about the current state of the industry and the politics involved.
This chat continues on why Star Wars Battlefront 2 was such a disgrace to the gaming industry/community and how loot boxes, pre-orders, season passes & micro-transactions are so dangerous for the industry as a whole. After discussing this and including names such as EA & Ubisoft, they discuss the various “special editions” of games that come out, they then speak about Visceral’s death as a company & the Dead Space trilogy, followed by how game publishers treat the creative teams behind such games, before finishing off by speaking about the James Gunn controversy (Guardians Of The Galaxy director), how political correctness effects games including “self-aware” games like Doki Doki Literature Club, “boob-physics” and women in the gaming industry (including a discussion about Bayonetta & the sexuality of her character).
If you haven’t already checked out part 1 and enjoyed this episode, be sure to go back & check it out! In part 1 of their chat, they discuss a few random topics for the first few minutes before having a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about games such as Crash Bandicoot, Halo, Jak & Daxter, Devil May Cry & more – they then discuss cheat codes & Easter eggs and how they used to come in books with gaming magazines, rather than just online like nowadays. Following this, they delve into the world of Steam’s game curation, which steadily turns into a discussion surrounding loot boxes & micro-transactions, they also brieflydiscuss Bitcoin & mining for cryptocurrencies, before delving into why Mike is such a let-down for pre-ordering Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Last week Mike spoke with Steve, a homosexual friend of his about his coming out story, what it was like growing up gay in the 1980s, Polari the “secret gay language”, transgender people in sports, the LGBTQ+ community as a whole, the “gay agenda” and so much more, so be sure to check that out too!
The guests Josh & Rhys have been in a few other podcasts, they were both in a discussion about transgender identity in politics (episode 14 “Just Don’t Be A Dick”), Rhys featured in the first ever episode too, about if it’s ever okay to “punch a nazi” and Josh has featured in several others, including being the co-host of the “Science, But Simple” mini-series on GCC too!

This week Mike continues his chat with his friend Steve Maidment, a homosexual man who opens up about his life, how the world has been changing and his opinions on the LGBTQ+ community!
In this week’s release, Steve & Mike discuss whether someone is born gay or if there are other factors that can dictate sexuality, as well as discussing “Polari” – the “gay language” used when homosexuality was illegal, as well as Steve’s youth work with Breakout & City Reach. They then go off on a tangent about names and whether or not they’d change their own names and if so, what to, followed by them getting back on topic and finishing off the talk by speaking about offensive pronouns, gender fluidity, how/if gender should play a role in contact sports (such as MMA), the treatment of women, how far society has come in the last 30 years and much more!
In part 1 (released last week), Steve detailed what it was like growing up gay in the 80s and when/how he realised he wasn’t heterosexual (when at that time it wasn’t discussed at all), bullying & acceptance, Steve’s experiences in college and his coming out story to both his college friends and his parents and being worried about reputation/acceptance when doing so. As well as the above, sexism, racism, bigotry, prejudice, equality, Brighton and “The Gay Agenda” are all also mentioned, so in case you missed it, be sure to check part 1 out!
The last episode of GCC had the return of our favourite palaeontologist/author Wayne Telford, along with Josh (the co-host of “Science, But Simple”), where they discuss religion & faith, along with some crazy land, water and extinct animals in another science-y addition of Genuine Chit-Chat!

Amazing animals, religion & faith (along with street preaching), misconceptions of the velociraptor and so much more is discussed this week on Genuine Chit-Chat!
Following on from last week’s return of our favourite palaeontologist/author Wayne Telford, along with Josh (the co-host of “Science, But Simple”), although this episode delves into different topical territory. Religion & faith are discussed, as well as morality of religion, Josh, Wayne & Mike then each discuss their views on consciousness and the afterlife, followed by some notable animals, including water-dwelling, land-dwelling and extinct creatures - so anyone who’s interested in learning about some cool new animals and some of the crazy things they do, this podcast will be right up your street!
Last week they discussed what superpowers would be the most ideal to use in a realistic (less vigilante-like) sense and which ones they think they’d get if they were a fictional character. As well as the above, they talk about human culling & utilitarianism, mentioning Thanos’ idea of balance and how, or if, it could work, followed by opinions on assisted suicide, “anti-natalism”, abortion and stem-cells.
Last week was technically part 1 of this chat, but we are having them as two separate podcast episodes as each part is strong enough to be its own standalone episode (we think)!

This week’s release is an especially emotional & important release for me (Mike). Today marks Father’s Day in the UK, so I wanted to release something about my father, Stephen Burton, who passed away in May of 2013 of oesophageal cancer. This episode includes discussions of death of a family member and some details about their death, so please be warned of this sensitive content. I am joined by my brother Rob (who is 17 years older than me) and we discuss how Dad raised each of us and how he was when he became older, followed by how we both found out about his cancer and how it affected him before his death. We then discuss his death itself and how it affected us and what to do moving forward. As I state in the intro, this is a very meaningful & quite emotional episode for both myself & Rob but we wanted to show that it’s healthy to speak about these matters and if anyone is going through something similar and wishes to chat, I am more than happy to discuss any of these things in a completely confidential way. If you feel as though speaking about this would be helpful, please contact me in the social media links, or via email, below.

Mike talks to Josh for another episode of the Science But Simple mini-series and this week they debunk scientific misconceptions! They delve into what cancer actually is, how it works and our treatments & why there isn’t a “cure-all” for cancer, followed by what “Big Pharma” is and the conspiracy around them somehow having the cure to diseases and holding them back, along with the method for testing & releasing new medicines for the public. They then finish off with what GMOs are (genetically modified organisms), more specifically regarding the food we eat, including how seedless grapes exist and why there’s little to worry about!
"Science But Simple" is mostly about explaining the fundamentals of things we see in our everyday lives in an easy-to-digest manner.

What is Palaeontology (or Paleontology for you Americans)? How do we find fossils today and what do they help with? Did giant insects exist on earth, and if so, how? All of these questions and many more are answered in this week’s episode of Genuine Chit-Chat!

Wayne is also an accomplished author and has released two fiction books, which delve into events surrounding 19th century London; A Light In The Mist, which follows a young Dr Jekyll while the second novel (Scarcrow) has a different protagonist surrounding similar events from another perspective.
Wayne wants to spread a message of hope, telling everyone & anyone to follow their calling, despite what others may say, as you can change the world, if you have the dedication to do so, which were the inspiration of said novels.

This week, Mike speaks with Wayne Telford, a palaeontologist who has written two novels surrounding 19th century London; A Light In The Mist, which follows a young Dr Jekyll while the second novel (Scarcrow) has a different protagonist surrounding similar events from another perspective.
Although they discuss Wayne’s books, the creative process and what made Wayne decide to create these fantastic works, they delve deep into individualism and the idea of good vs evil, as well as life’s purpose, morality, the wealth divide, societal issues and so much more, so if you aren’t interested in the books, this is a great chat about the human condition (and we’re sure you’ll be more intrigued by the books after the chat anyway)!

In the very first episode of GCC, Mike speaks with one of his oldest friends Rhys, about whether or not one should ever “punch a nazi”, the state of political correctness and what it means, as well as the goings-ons in North Korea.
Rhys was also in episode 14 of GCC along with Josh, where they discussed transgender identity, gender pronouns & being triggered.
GCC begun when Mike was inspired by the likes of Scroobius Pip, Joe Rogan & Sam Harris and their fantastic podcasts, so he decided to give it a go himself!
