The Knight Light

Brendan is joined by Ghostbusters super fan Oliver Jones all the way from Birmingham in the UK for an episode 33 years in the making - the release of the brand new Ghostbusters movie set in the continuity of the original films. Sure the movie has been out overseas for some time but it was only released in Australia on New Years Day so now that us Aussies have had the chance to see it, Brendan and Oliver talk all about the new film as well as Ghostbusters fandom in general. So grab your proton pack, your PKE Meter and a nice chilled Ecto Cooler and enjoy!

Brendan is joined by Matt Spaulding which means he's essentially being joined by Santa Claus. Matt is a professional Santa and graduate of the world famous Charles W Howard Santa Claus School, also known as the "Harvard of Santa Schools" and discusses what it's like to actually be the jolly man in red at this time of year as well as his history with and love of the Christmas icon.

So slip in to your favourite tuxedo, poor yourself a vodka martini and enjoy this latest episode.

Brendan and Andy. Two middle aged podcasters who share a mutual love for many things, most noticeably Batman. However there's something else these two have in common and that's a hardcore love of Christmas. However one grew up in the bright, sunny and hot climate of Australia where reindeer and Frosty The Snowman are nowhere to be seen and the other heralds from the more stereotypical American city of Chicago, where all your Christmases are white. So what was it like for both of the guys growing up to have such an affinity for the festive season but with so many cultural differences? Well listen in to this Christmas Special of The Knight Light 2.0 and you'll hear all about it and more on an episode totally 100% recorded on December 20th! Chances are Santa Claus: The Movie will come up in conversation too.

So slide down the Batpole, take off your grey spandex and kick back with a bowl of vichyssoise while you enjoy the countdown!
