Jonny is a filmmaker and Si is a 3D graphic artist. We are two brothers who love films. If you do as well, maybe you‘ll enjoy listening to us discuss movies, good and bad, while we relive our childhoods, deconstruct them and go off on tangents. Be advised, this podcast contains strong language, including sexual swearwords.

By Crom, we did it! There's finally another episode after 5 months of dead air, but better some than none! This episode is our 40th full length episode! Celebrate with us! Come and partake of our foot soup, a delicacy in Cimmeria, or perhaps you would like a bite of dead vulture? We watched Conan The Barbarian, the classic 1982 swords and sorcery e…

It's been a long while, dear listeners. And I know you're there because I see you listening, people in Ireland, Japan, Singapore, US, UK and Italy! You guys are awesome and thanks for listening, even when we're not putting out new episodes! While I edit our latest full length episode (which, sadly, may be the only one until at least August due to l…

Well, my stupid, sorry, parasitic sacks of entrails… a new episode awaits your listening pleasure. Clear out the wax in your ears and use it to curl your moustache, because this week, we're talking about Steven Spielberg’s version of Peter flockin’ flyin’ Pan - Hook (1991)! Peter Pan was a big deal to me. After having been to see the play, I rolled…

What's your greatest phobia? Si and Jonny delve deeply into the weird and baffling world of fear in this week's episode, our first one back in over 3 months! Are you excited? Are you hopping up and down with glee? Are you perspiring with unfettered joy? Or is it more a case of a subtle raise of the eyebrows and a muttering of "oh, right..." before …

Welcome to spooooooky season on WOSN! This week we reviewed Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, a ghoulish tale of a murdering spectre with a tendency to lop awff the noggin. Why does that make Jonny Northern? No idea. It just happened. Best to just go with it. Along the drawn out way we hit the usual spots - Trivia Corner, VFX Cavalcade of Whatever, Movie…

Summer is still here. It just won't go away. And yet, we managed a bonus episode to keep you going until such time as we can peel ourselves back up off the floor and get back to it. This episode is made up of two discussions that unintentionally wound up connecting to each other. We talked typecasting, Alan Rickman was mentioned. A couple of weeks …

Si was a bit impatient during this one. He felt that an episode concerning the movie Speed should run at a brisk pace. I had other plans, clearly. I say clearly, because editing this thing during the summer holidays with work and kids on my back, I haven't heard this since we recorded it two weeks ago, so here I am scolding my past self for being, …

Last week, the Duke of Buttley and Lord Fartlebee went to see Indiana Jones and the Vial of Density and we recorded this episode in the car on the way home. While our opinions of the movie haven't changed, fridge logic has now set in and we've found even more holes in it than Sonny Corleone. BEWARE, HERE BE SPOILERS. ARRRRR! But before we got to th…

Hello, and welcome to the new What's Our Seat Number. No longer the frivolous, whimsical, sarcastic and erotic podcast that you're used to. Instead we will now approach each subject with serious, sober reflection and a grave, businesslike demenour. You can call us Fred Austere. This podcast is now officially dour and funereal. Right down to that st…

You wanna get nuts? I know a place that sells nuts and many assorted snacks! Let's get some nuts! This week's episode is a solo affair, and no, I'm not talking about a middling Star Wars movie...or wanking...I just went to see a film that my partner in pod and biological brother, Si, has not seen. I took an afternoon off and went to see The Flash b…

In 1980, Superman II was released to great fanfare and adoration, but it was NOT credited to original director Richard Donner. Donner had in fact been removed from the project halfway through the simultaneous filming of both movies and Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers '73) was brought in to replace him. The result is vastly different to what wa…

I'm going to teach you all something very very valuable right now about podcasting. Prepare yourselves, because these are pearls of wisdom right here. The key to having a successful podcast is CONSISTENCY. So here we are, willy nilly releasing episodes a couple of weeks apart, a couple of months apart...our last full episode was mid-April...so...ye…

Here's another bonus episode for you lovely people while we at WOSN er...get our act together. It's-a us! In this little amuse bouche, we talk about our kids and, along the way, we perhaps mention Puss in Boots and The Super Mario Bros Movie. We stopped short of showing pictures of our little ankle biters. I mean it's a podcast, you wouldn't be abl…

Do you know your ABC? You'd better if Nic Cage is around... This week, we went see Renfield, a new comedy/horror flick, which would have been just fine on it's own. Nicholas Hoult is a great actor, the premise - Dracula's familiar in modern day New Orleans joins a support group for the abused - is high concept and funny. But then you turn away. The…

How many filmmakers does it take to change an SD card? Why do we keep asking the talent to clap before a take? Why is there never a craft services trailer on my set? All these questions and many, many more that you've always dreamed of asking...won't be answered in this episode. If you want to ask your own questions please send them to us on our Fa…

This week, we review a PT Anderson-like instant classic about a mother searching for her daughter in the woods, a cop trying to find meaning in life by way of his love for dogs, a ranger trying to keep control of the local thugs, a pair of drug dealers finding friendship amid grief and suffering and...a bear hopped up on cocaine gone on a rampage, …

What's Our Seat Number episodes are like buses. You wait months for one and then two come along at the same time. Once again, we gift you, free of charge, free of obligation, free of wit or intelligence, a bonus episode of our illustrious, prestigious and presumtuous podcast. Please enjoy the following prattle - we discuss the one thing that Jonny …

SCREAVI is the new Scream movie, bucking the trend of awkwardly stylized titles with numbers in them. No, I lie. It’s pretty awkward. At least they didn’t call it Scream 2. We went to see this movie the other night and then recorded this very episode you hold in your ears, while sitting in the car. No one need ever rent studio time again, this is a…

Yippee Ki-Yay mothercluckers! Fresh from game design stardom and slumming it with us once again, my co-host Simon Gross has finally returned! Much like chickens batting exploding eggs at each other with frying pans, our conversation this evening was once again fraught with banter, slurred words and the constant, unprofessional shitting of the prove…

A veritable Russian Doll of tangents are at the fore of this week’s episode, where the sheer amount of unrelated topics careening wildly off the road is positively mind boggling. It’s like, you know when you’re in the middle of a sentence and you think of something else and then you get stuck on that thing but you were supposed to be talking about …

Happy Halloween! 'Tis the night of ghouls, ghosts, witches, goblins and pumpkins and what better way to celebrate it than to stay inside, lock the doors, hide your candy (because it's MINE!) and listen to us chat about The Frighteners? Peter Jackson's 1996 breakout flick sees Michael J. Fox as Frank Bannister, a con man who sets up hauntings so tha…

I know what you're thinking. Didn't we do this already? Haven't you already droned on for what seemed like a lifetime about this trilogy of films? Well, now we've got added Si and through his eyes I could see deep into his soul to surmise...that he was tired. Midnight is no time to record a podcast, dammit! Now, dear listeners, you can hear the oth…

Hello and welcome to What's Our...? Because it's half of what it normally is, due to the absence of one Si. It's alright, he's fine, he's not dead or anything... we just didn't have time to meet this week, so instead, I decided to give my thoughts on the Halloween 2018 trilogy, that culminated in this week's release of Halloween Ends. Both Kills an…

Pray, dear listeners, for the demon resides within thee! The power of WOSN compels you! We're not really speaking in tongues, we just sound like that. This week, we're eating cans of pea soup while engaging in some light movie watching. It's Halloween movie #2, The Exorcist (1973), directed by William Friedkin and most certainly not Tobe Hooper or …

In just over a month, the ghouls, witches and demons shall rise up to wreak havoc as All Hallow’s Eve befalls us once more, and what better way to celebrate the festival of darkness than by watching scary movies? This week, we watched Poltergeist, a Toe Pooper film, not at all directed by Steven Spielberg. And those skeletons in the pool aren’t rea…

Morbius has gained cult status simply by being reportedly bad, but there are those who have said "well, it's not really so bad." Ever the detectives, we deigned to investigate to find out if Morbius is indeed bad... or not so bad. We did this through intricately developed investigative techniques that took us decades to learn in the art of investig…

It's been a while, but here we are with our first full episode since the Eisenhower administration. Last Action Hero, much maligned at the time for it's overly comedic and satirical style (here 1993, I'll help - it's a comedy and a satire...) and for the fact that it wasn't Jurassic Park, makes it's What's Our Seat Number debut as it pulls out it's…

Hi everyone! We've been away for a bit, but we're back! We recorded an episode this week (Last Action Hero) but as I haven't had time to edit it all yet, here's a snippet we've put together so we can catch up on what we've seen over the summer! So, in the meantime...what have you seen? MUSIC TRACKS Modern Funk Groove by StudioEtude. Feel The 80s by…

This week we went to see The Black Phone, starring Ethan Hawke and directed by Scott Derrickson, based on a Joe Hill short story (from the collection 20th Century Ghosts, if anyone wants to check it out.) Remember that scene in Jumanji when Robin Williams' legs can be seen sticking out of the ceiling from the floor below? That's what happened to Jo…

It seems that like the Tyrannosaur, WOSN doesn’t follow any set patterns or park schedules. It’s the essence of chaos. So, here we are, a week and a day after the last episode. Anarchy! But still, we’re not posting old episodes, we’re making all new ones! In this episode, we discuss everything Jurassic Park, from the 1993 classic directed by Steven…

Oh! Uuuuh...oooohhh! Um...ooooh! And so the Goldblumming begins! This week we discuss the latest in a long line of sequels repurposed into legacy sequels - Jurassic World: Dominican...er...Dominion. Fair warning: HERE BE SPOILERS! We talk pranks (Si hilariously hindered my teeth brushing for approximately 2 minutes) and some alleged disc switching …

Message to all bank employees: never refuse an old lady an extension on her mortgage. Just trust us on this. In this week's episode, we talk about Drag Me To Hell, Sam Raimi's demon infested horror that promises to drag your soul to hell instead of just swallowing it this time. As usual, we have games (Si found that getting up and walking away from…

Well this is fun, isn't it? Not only did we give you a full episode just two days ago, but now we're coming at you with some glorious BONUS CONTENT! This bonus episode is made up of three sections - a deleted cold open which went on for 12 minutes, a new game that failed miserably and a slightly lackluster, cut for time round of "You're Talking Bul…

Stop, hey, what's that sound? It's the sound of maniacal, hysterical laughter and the perpetrator is none other than Simon Gross, who has lost it. The cause, is of course, me, Jonny, because I am hilarious, and my new game, which broke Si's brain. Once the giggling died down, we managed to get into a discussion of Sam Raimi's latest, which also hap…

Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought otherwise, but in this week’s episode, we chat about the 1987 classic Innerspace, not The Neverending Story. Things were said, deflating horse testicles were mentioned, Si lamented his secret nightlife as a pinup girl and wet wipes were poked back in to the packet with our index fingers. Because we care and do…

Riddle me this! What scares Si more than the sight of an approaching pigeon? Answer: apparently when I say "riddle me this"... This week we have an EPIC 2 hour discussion for you, all about Batman! It's ALL BATMAN, ALL THE TIME! We take you on a journey from comics, to tv series, to movies, to animated series to games and along the way, we play our…

This week, we're having a spoilerific discussion of The Batman (2022), the latest incarnation of The Dark Knight starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright and someone claiming to be Colin Farrell. Expertly directed by the great Matt Reeves, who, along with cinematographer Grieg Fraser, put a whole load of lighting technician…

This week's episode is brought to you by Betelgeuse, the bio exorcist! Troubled by the living? Is death a problem and not the solution? Unhappy with eternity? Having difficulty adjusting? Then call Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse! On your own heads be it. Yes, this week we're chatting incessantly about Tim Burton's 1988 classic, Beetlejuice. We …

What's your favourite time travel movie? Ok, fine, Back to the Future. What's your second favourite? Right, I can see we're going to be here for a while. The Time Machine 2002 anyone? Anyone? No? Just me? Alright then... This week we're talking about everyone's 43rd favourite time travel movie, The Time Machine 2002, starring Guy Pierce, Samantha M…

All rise! On this week's episode, Jonny put 2004's Van Helsing on trial for crimes against cinema. Jonny, arguing for the prosecution, will seek to prove that Van Helsing is a pungent poo of a film, while Si, arguing for the defense, will try to prove it's innocence (he doesn't have a sense of smell, so that may help). What will be the verdict? Lis…

After a brief hiatus due to illness and all sorts of misery, behold! Episode 10 is here! Si has a few surprises in store for Jonny in this week's episode, in which we review Ghostbusters Afterlife, the third film in the Ghostbusters fan-chise. Fourth if you count the 2009 game. Fifth if you count the reboot - the question is, should you? It's a sli…

In this week's episode, we're talking about the 1991 classic The Rocketeer, a boy's own adventure romp that made nowt more than a whimper at the box office, which is a shame because it really is a fun flick. Along the way we discuss celebrity crushes and after our respective cold showers, we talk about big gophers, Dan Stevens, the Big Wow, tiny li…

Hello dear listeners and welcome once again! This week's episode is packed to the gills with cartoony fun and family flick mainstays such as alcoholism, gun violence, murder, adultery and oversized cartoon boobies. We tell tales of Fruit Gums gone awry, villains so terrifying that millions of kids wet their beds all at once back in the 80's and an …

This week, we watched 1998 acid trip "The Avengers" (no, not that one) starring Ralph Fienne's bare buttocks, Uma Thurman in yet another furry costume and Sean Connery's handlebar moustache on absolutely fine form. We get tripped up by topics such as mankinis, incomprehensible dialogue, repeated calls for afternoon tea and at one point the conversa…

Have you ever seen a ghost? Jonny thinks he has... or has he? Spooooooky! Happy Halloween! In this week's episode, we're talking Ghostbusters II (1989) and we wonder - why do people dislike this movie? Answers on a postcard please. We discuss our love of the characters and how they're developed in this sequel, it gets surprisingly deep! We also dis…
