Episode Notes This week our heroes endeavour to blow your mind by offering you the red pill from The Matrix. Or is it the blue one? The one that makes you see things as they really are! That one! Things you thought you knew, things you took comfort in... Lorraine and Will are here to turn your world UPSIDEFLIPPINGDOWN! Think you'll catch a cold if you go out with wet hair, do you? Or even WETH hair as our heroes both refer to it in unison at one point. If that's what you think...brace yourself!

S1E27 - Ramblings 2 - Received Wisdom

Episode Notes Episode 26 of Pop Filter finds our heroes on an Arthurian quest even though one of them doesn't know it's an Arthurian one at all. Lorraine and Will take on David Lowery's The Green Knight but they won't make the mistake that Sir Gawain makes. Instead, they give the Green Knight a wedgie and tell him we'll see him next Christmas. It'll make sense when you see the film. They also examine The Witness, a new podcast about the first person in Ireland to enter the Witness Protection programme after years of abuse, having been brought unwillingly into the drugs world as a child. It's kind of grim so no jokes here! Finally, Kanye West's 10th album, Donda, dropped a few weeks back. Dropped is what the kids say! As I type this, Will and Lorraine are comparing gang signs in the background. It's what the kids want. They cast their critical eye over this bloated indulgence and find it....wanting.

Episode Notes This week, our heroes discuss the new Woodstock 99 documentary and get annoyed by toxic masculinity and terrible music. It's been many a year since Will was last on the pole but he and Lorraine both enjoyed pole-dancing nightmare film, Zola. Finally enjoy Lorraine struggling to pronounce the singer of this weeks album choice, Tove Styrke. Will gets it wrong too but he is confident in his correctness the way only a white man can be. Enjoy. Find out more at https://pop-filter.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode Notes Today marks the launch of a different kind of podcast from Lorraine and Will. This time they are off rambling on a specific non pop-culture subject; Words & Phrases. Hear Lorraine's mind being blown in realtime when she discovers that a damp squid is not what she thought it was and hear Wills moral quandary about using 'my friend and I' or 'my friend and me' correctly, when he knows there are people who will think he's gotten it wrong if he uses the word 'me' in this context. It's a packed half hour and Lorraine and Will had a splendid time making it. Find out more at https://pop-filter.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

S1E24 - 24 - Pop Filter Ramblings - Words and Phrases.

Episode Notes Lorraine and Will here... just calling to say we love you. Y'know...like Stevie Wonder would. This week we are giving our rambling thoughts on Aisling Bea's second series of This Way Up. Then, oops we did it again and are reviewing another podcast series: BBC Sounds' Pieces of Britney. We end with our friend and Inspireland podcast host, Dave Curran's album recommendation: Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life.

Episode Notes One subject, three different takes. It's rare enough that you get different documentaries on the same topic at the same time but here we are. Spanning over 2 decades and featuring a wide range of characters, it is a tragic and frustrating case. Can Detectives Lorraine and Will solve this one?

S1E22 - West Cork, Murder At The Cottage, A Murder In West Cork

Episode Notes This week, Lorraine and Will cast their ears over Sinead O'Connors audiobook autobiography (or is it a memoir?), Rememberings. Mad stories about Prince and many others delight our hosts. Then the eyes join in for the Friends Reunion show. Lorraine (young) is very harsh on the botoxed Friends, while Will (old) is much more forgiving. Finally, you've got the rest of the show off, eyes! Metro Area's eponymously titled 2002 album comes under scrutiny. Will was too harsh on it and is now enjoying it much more by listening to it on headphones rather than in the car.

Episode Notes This week, our heroes discuss 3 separate items from 3 separate mediums! Exciting. We discuss Matt Haig's latest novel, The Midnight Library. Will read it and Lorraine listened to it, so that brings this weeks medium count to 4. After that we discussed Channel 4's new comedy, Frank of Ireland. Listen to the end to hear Lorraine get her revenge on Will for making her listen to Wilco's album A Ghost Is Born. Her weapon of choice? Luxury Problems by Andy Stott (the milkman's favourite tunesmith). Find out more at https://pop-filter.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

S1E20 - The Midnight Library, Frank of Ireland and Luxury Problems

Episode Notes First up, Lorraine and Will talk about the Netflix documentary, Seaspiracy, or to be more accurate, the filmmakers' abject failure to use the much better title, Conspirasea. They follow up with a discussion on Sky's new film purchase, Promising Young Woman, a story that will hopefully make men of a certain attitude reconsider their life choices. Finally, Will totally misjudges his old friends' musical taste and steals nearly three hours of her life with 2 full listens of the Deluxe Expanded version of Wilco's 2004 album, A Ghost Is Born.

Episode Notes This week Lorraine and Will cast their astute legal eyes over Allen V Farrow, the new 4 part HBO documentary about the sexual abuse charges made towards Allen by his daughter, Dylan. In a Farrow-centric episode we discuss Ronan Farrow (the artist formerly known as Satchel) and his 8 part podcast Catch and Kill which details the allegations against Harvey Weinstein. And finally because there were no Farrows with albums to review, we look at Kurt Vile's most recent EP Speed Sound Lonely KV. Can Will appreciate his lo-fi charms?
