 What's Wrong with Wolfie? Discusses: Batman & Robin with Ash Versus | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:36:23

No Rich this week meant Jason had to find a suitable replacement and came up trumps when The AMAZING Cliff from the N64life podcast agreed to take his place. He was maybe not so thrilled when he learnt the film we were covering though. That film is Batman and Robin! Deemed the worst Batman film ever made and killed the franchise for eight years, we decided now was the time to go back and see if it is a better film than we remembered. To help us do this we were also joined by Ash Versus from the podcast Under Consoletation.

 What's Wrong with Wolfie? Discusses | Independence Day with Steve Leyland | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:32:42

This week brings us one of the biggest movies ever released. A film so big in 1996 other films had to be moved or postponed because of it. Independence Day was and still is in some cases the blockbuster film and we jump in to discuss many aspects of the film from praising the best parts to questioning some of the decisions that were made and why some of it just wouldn't work in real life. And yes, Jason is well aware he say’s June 2nd and not July 2nd…..muppet! Joining us is Jason and Rich's co host from the Dreamcast Years podcast, Steve and he doesn't hold any punches, but he does promise that he does love this film! Of course, this wouldn't be The Wolfie Pod without some tangents and we raise up Wes Anderson films and War of the Worlds as we dissect Independence Day.

 The Video Games of 1996: Wipeout 2097 | Tomb Raider | Quake | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:10:33

Not gonna lie, this one nearly didn't happen. From plenty of technical issues that were thrown our way we nearly called it a day, but we decided to struggle through and we think we ended up with a good show for you to enjoy. This week we continue our journey through the 90's and this time its the turn of video games. Before we discuss our picks we had a cheeky look through the multi format top ten for week 51 of 1996 and then progressing to our games which this week were Wipeout 2097, Tomb Raider and Quake. What an amazing line up, and the part of the 90's we have now hit is really showing the creativity from games thanks to the more advanced tech and tools available to developers.   Thank you for listening, If you enjoyed this episode then please consider leaving us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and spread the word on your favourite social media platform, we would really appreciate it.
