Sorry Meadows: Recent Episodes
Sorry Meadows
Hello and welcome to the Sorry Meadows Podcast, where every week we watch, love and talk about our favourite films and TV shows. Joined by Jack, Melanie, Mike, Sammy and Rhys, we delve into the very best and very worst pop culture thrown our way.
We also have a Community podcast, where every week we watch, love and discuss the greatest TV show of all time. Search for "Intermediate Studies of Podcast Unoriginality" or follow the link below.
We would also like to thank and credit Spike Capper for composing our very own THEME SONG which is very cool!
Hey Wildcats! Things are changing here at Sorry Meadows HQ, just wanted to update you all with what's new!
Batman. The billionaire who dresses up as a bat and beats up criminals! But which Batman beats best? Mike, Rhys, and Sammy are here to glide in and solve that mystery!
In this episode Sammy, Mike, Rhys and Melanie talk about the newest (and not so new) MCU releases. They will discuss Eternals, Doctor Strange, Ms Marvel, Moonknight and Thor Love and Thunder. And maybe Morbius, but also maybe not. IT'S MORBIN' TIME!
Look, it's a Melanie, Sammy and Mike episode, you know what you're getting. It's unhinged, there's no structure, and we just end up listing hot people. Good movie though.

Turmoil has engulfed Sorry Meadows. The wi-fi of Sammy to outlying hosts is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly broadband, the greedy Jack, Rhys and Mike have stopped all contact to the small town of Portsmouth.
While we endlessly debate this alarming chain of events, Melanie has secretly dispatched a Zoom chat room, where the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, can settle their conflict... Are the Prequels good or bad?
In this episode, three of our hosts: Mike, Melanie & Rhys, take a trip in the Timey Wimey Machine and travel back to the year 2000. Each host must choose a film from that year to explore. Join us as they discuss all the best parts of their chosen films, Final Destination, Requiem for a dream & Battle Royale.

Hey Wildcats! Come listen to us unironically praise High School Musical for almost two hours!
Apologies for the poor audio quality, multiple technical errors with the audio files.00

TV? Hey, it's pretty great! Mike Melanie and Jack watch TV sometimes, and in this episode they talk about all the telly they've been enjoying recently! Listen in for some top-tier TV recommendations! Spoiler-free.
Mike joins Rhys once again in a look back through Disney's animated past. This week we delve into the second half of the Silver Age, including some of Walt Disney's final films, such as Sleeping Beauty (1959), 101 Dalmations (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963) & The Jungle Book (1967).
Quite some time ago Mike and Rhys made a blood pact where each of them had to watch a tv show the other recommended. In this first episode they will talk about Mike's recommendation Bojack Horseman. This is a very spoiler-heavy deep dive into the show, so please only listen if you have seen it (unlike me who had to edit this and now knows everything about the show 🥲).

With No Way Home releasing today(!!!), Mike, Sammy and Rhys decide to look back on all the Spider-Man films we've had in the past and rank them using a preference revealer, which, fully on brand, leads to excessive arguing.
Rest assured, there are no spoilers for No Way Home in this episode, however, what we do have, is countless technical errors which lead to most of the audio being misaligned for the first 10 minutes or so, but after that it should be fine.

It's the anniversary of Unus Annus and our two hosts, Mike and Melanie, have made it their mission to remember as much of it as possible. Will they win the race against the clock?
Memento Mori
Edited by Melanie Löw
Once upon a Sorry Meadows, while I pondered on It Follows,
Thinking over many a quaint and bloody scary movie—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a clapping,
As of some witch gently clapping, clapping at my wardrobe door.
“’Tis some witch,” I muttered, “clapping at my wardrobe door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak October;
And each Sorry Meadows member sat in fear upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—to watch The Conjuring, The Descent, Hereditary and It Follows
From my DVD bookcase of horror— horror for the lost Jack Tanner—
For the rare and radiant Melanie, and the one the angels name Jack Tanner—
Suffering here for your amusement.

This is Sorry Meadows episode 35. TV & Film fan Mike goes to speak with friends about Netflix's Fear Street, but who are they?
Ponder the question "What If?" together with Sammy, Mike, Rhys and Melanie.
Thank you to Spike Capper for the theme tune.

How crazy was the Rick and Morty Season 5 finale! IT WAS MENTAL! Rhys and Sammy were certainly excited by it, so much so they've decided to record an episode talking about the entire show! They cover A LOT of episodes in this, so grab your hip flasks and settle in for 90 minutes of unbridled reverence.

Family. Family family explosions, family. Family Corona, family family. Family; family; family; family.
Featuring family.
How great is TV? Seriously, how great is it? Mike, Jack and Rhys certainly think it's great, as they take your through some of their favourite TV shows around. Featuring discussions on Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Horrible Histories, BoJack Horseman, Black Sails and Gavin & Stacey. To be continued....
It’s just Rhys and Mike again this week as we attempt a combined ranking of the 3 biggest sci-fi action franchises that feature the most iconic monster-villains of all time. There have been 18 films that feature an Alien or Predator or Terminator, all staples of 70s and 80s science-fiction. And yet, most of them are pretty rubbish and in this episode, we start by scraping the bottom of bottom barrels and look at the lowest-ranked of the franchises. God these films SUCK!

There we were all nice and ready to record another Community episode when SOMEBODY didn't show up. So instead, we improvised and took a look at what DVDs we had on our shelves instead. Theme by Spike Capper. Edited by Rhys Lloyd.
There are LOADS of characters in fiction, in TV shows and films and books and plays and musicals and EVERYTHING! But can you narrow them down to a Top 100? Well, Rhys, Mike and Sammy have attempted to devise their own list and we will be exploring each other's selections by the most timeless of methods..... THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE!
In this opening episode, we get a few entrants from the world of Disney, Doctor Who (typical, I know) and Community (check out our other podcast if you want more).

Join Sammy, Mike, Jack and Melanie as they discuss the freshly finished Loki! Did they like it, did they not? Who was Melanie thirsty for this time? WOW! so many questions but will we have all the answers? Find out!
We (Melanie) would like to apologise for the bad audio, it seems we were visited by the God of Goofs himself and he messed with our equipment. Guess, he didn't like some of the hot takes we had ;)

Hey y'all, you know what's cool? Time loop films. There are loads and loads and loads of them, and they keep repeating and repeating the concept time and time again. In this episode Rhys, Mike and Mel look at 4 films from this (genre, is it a genre?) starting with the Grand-daddy Groundhog Day (1993) and then moving on to 3 examples of how the concept was utilized in unique ways, including Happy Death Day (2017), Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and Palm Springs (2020).

This week we take a look back into the nostalgia-filled childhoods of Jack, Sammy, Mike, and Rhys as we delve into the childhood video games that kick-started our lifelong passions for all things nerd! In this episode, we cover Pokemon Red (1996), Halo: Reach (2010), Transformers PS2 (2004) and Ratchet & Clank (2002).

Rhys is joined by Mike as we journey back in time through the history of Disney Animated films. Disney is obviously a household name in the 21stcentury. Holding a near Monopoly over the entertainment industry, it’s hard to watch a new release in cinema that isn’t owned or produced by the Big Mouse. Intrigued by how they became this successful, I decided to watch all 58 animated films, a genre which Disney is most well-known for. Having noticed Mike had started making his way through the films, I couldn’t miss this opportunity to ask him about these films.
We begin this watch-through at the very beginning, dubbed Disney's Golden Age! This includes Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941) and Bambi (1942).

Now that we've got Justice League out of the way, we're going to lose all sense of focus, consistency or continuity so we can make what we want, whether people ask for it or not. Which in a strange coincidence also happens in the DCEU! This episode we look at the 4 remaining DCEU releases, Aquaman (2018), Shazam! (2019), Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) and Wonder Woman 1984 (2020).

Mike, Sammy and Rhys continue their journey through the DCEU by discussing two films that, despite containing the same plot, structure, actors and characters, couldn't be anymore different. We'll start with the film that was made second but that came out first, Justice League (2017) before delving into the mammoth film that is Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021). Sit back, we enjoyed this one...

We begin our discussion of a universe which since day one has been met with tonal inconsistency, studio meddling, behind the scenes drama, Jared Leto, fan campaigns on Twitter and has come up against the full force of Rotten Tomatoes.
In this episode, we'll be covering the first "phase" of the DCEU, including the films Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Suicide Squad (2016) and Wonder Woman (2017).

Host Rhys has picked 4 films from the fantasy genre that he loved growing up, including The Neverending Story (1984), Howl's Moving Castle (2004), The Dark Crystal (1982) and Stardust (2007).

In today’s episode, we take a look at Mike’s favourite films, including superheroes, Star Wars, Scooby-Doo and a very strange encounter with Tommy Wiseau.
Was Melanie pushed out a window by her husband? Did Rhys get an arrow lodged in his throat? Was Sammy a sleazy Tory backbencher who's cursed to spend eternity with no trousers on? No, but BBC's Ghosts is full of such amazing characters and it's this brilliant TV show we'll be talking about this week! Thanks to Spike Capper for our amazing THEME song! Edited by Rhys Lloyd.

We start at the very beginning with Godzilla (1954), before moving on to discuss Godzilla vs Destoroyah (1995), Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (1999) and Shin Godzilla (2016).

Host Sammy is joined by Mike, Melanie and for the first time Jack, as we discuss things we liked and also things we very much didn't like about Wandavision. And even though it might not always sound like it, we definitely did like Wandavision (I cannot stress this enough).
