Podge and Rodge: A Scare at Bedtime (1997)
highly original
Podge and Rodge - 'A Scare at Bedtime' is one of the funniest shows to have emerged from Ireland in the past ten years. Exploding on to T.V. channels in 1997, the show chronicles two brothers, (Podge, the pipe smoking, elegantly dressed one - & Rodge, the short ugly pervert) who live in a huge mansion which was formerly an asylum in the fictional town of Ballydung.
Each night Rodge comes home, tells Podge what he did that day and then Podge proceeds to tell Rodge a 'scary' horror story, usually involving crazy and unbelievable set-ups. For anyone not in the know, Podge and Rodge are puppets, controlled and voiced by the same voice-artists who created the Bronx Bunny Show.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get a huge amount of laughs out of an eight minute show.
Star Wars (1977)
overrated
First off, Star Wars is completely overrated. Then again, that's just my opinion, but please - the movie manages to make it to number one in various 'top 100 films of all time' polls. Why?! Secondly, it's just a jaded sci-fi movie with a simple story of good vs. evil. That's all well and good but (for me anyway), the thing just seemed to drag on and on. Mr. Lucas & Mr. Spielberg have a habit of putting young, promising actors into their films who go on to do nothing (see Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, E.T. etc). I'm pretty sure Mark Hamill though Hollywood was his to command after this. Oh how the mighty have fallen...
Anyway, if your a Star Wars virgin, save your time and money.
