Pointless Spin-Off

Pointless Spin-Off is taking a mid-season break but we just thought we'd drop an episode for our adoring fan(s) as a token of our appreciation and to let you know we haven't forgotten about you. Enjoy our improvised spin-off to The Whistleblower (2010) / bittersweet ode to Doug Walker the Nostalgia Critic and we'll catch you in the second half of the season!

In our very 51st episode, join us as we journey to Rory's ancestral homeland and embark on a good old fashioned hard-boiled detective caper with all the hallmarks of a classic neo-noir thriller: saxophone music, someone's bare asshole, a GameFAQs guide, etc. Inspired by the 2012 film 'Grabbers'.

In our special extended 50th episode extravaganza, Sonny, Rory and special guest improviser Phillip Whyte journey into Zack Snyder's 'Rebel Moon' universe to bring you a space operatic tale like no other. Suck it LucasFilm!* * Make more of those classic LucasArts adventure games, then we'll talk.

In our long awaited Season 4 premiere, Sonny and Rory return to the studio (and then back to Rory's apartment after we got kicked out for running over time) to bring you a pointless spin-off of John Carpenter's 1980 classic 'The Fog'.

In our first of probably three Halloween special episodes for 2023, Sonny and Rory take to the skies of Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes as we thankfully avoid the aforementioned hills altogether in the safety and comfort of a US Air Force fighter jet.

Go, go, go, go, go, go. Go, Rory. It's your birthday. We're gonna party like it's your birthday. We're gonna sip Bacardi like it's your birthday. And you know we don't give a hoot it's not your birthday. You can find Rory in the club, bottle full of bub'. Look, Rory's got the X, if you're into taking drugs. Rory's into having sex, he ain't into making love. So come listen to Rory's 3rd Annual Birthday Spectacular Episode, if you're into getting rubbed.

In our very forty-sixth episode, Sonny and Rory embark on a globe-trotting* adventure** with one of the background waiters from the opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as they find out if you really can teach an old dog*** new tricks****. * in and around a single city ** series of fruitless tasks *** some prick **** ways to die and suffer

Sonny and Rory return from their hiatus to bring you the premiere episode of Pointless Spin-Off Season 3! Join them in their new studio space as they cook up a tasty improvised sequel to Aardman's Chicken Run.

In our combined belated Halloween / Xmas / Season Two Finale special episode, Sonny and Rory present a spooktacular pointless spin-off to Tim Burton's and Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas, which also doubles as a prequel to our very first episode. It's been a bumpy season, but we hope you enjoyed it nevertheless. Happy holidays and happy 2023!

You are not well. We recommend staying at home and listening to our latest Pointless Spin-Off of 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'. It's the best thing for you. (the gag is that this episode synopsis resembles an interaction between a caretaker and a 'patient' as if it were an instance of Munchausen by-proxy syndrome)

In our very forty-second episode, Sonny and Rory present their very own take on the classic tale of Pinocchio the silly wooden boy, specifically the prop Pinocchio toy from Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King (1991). Featuring the debut of Rory's Robin Williams impression (it's pretty good).

In this week's episode, Sonny and Rory face the unimaginable as COVID forces them to record the podcast remotely via video call. How will they cope not being in the same room together? Also, it's Rory's birthday again.

In our very special 40th episode spectacular, Sonny and Rory present the unofficial romantic comedy prequel to the 2011 Canadian film 'Starbuck' that examines the secret lives of the millions of sperm cells within a single donation vial. Whole lotta cum talk in this! TW: self-harm

In our very thirty-ninth episode, Sonny and Rory present the completely pointless and unnecessary canine spin-off of Francois Truffaut's Oscar-winning classic 'Day for Night' and also share some scandalous* behind-the-scenes stories of their own experiences working on films sets. * (mundane)

In our second back-to-back One Year Anniversary Special, Sonny and Rory put on their journalist hats and get the inside scoop on the murky world of underground student protestors from some guy who, sadly, isn't Timothee Chalamet.

In Part 1 of our much belated One-Year Anniversary Special, Sonny and Rory ponder what would happen if one of the murderous school children from Kinji Fukasaku's BATTLE ROYALE happened to play hooky on that fateful day. Featuring our first ever bonus Pointless Spin-Off of a piece of printed media!* * a novel tie-in to a video game

Some new Marvel legends arrive in our ver first Pointless Spin-Off of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Sonny and Rory follow a trio of truffle-hunting lab pigs on a relatively low-stakes globe-trotting mission to prove that they have what it takes to collectively become the next Black Widow. Featuring the obligatory discussion about whether Marvel movies are true cinema.

In our very thirty-fifth episode, Sonny and Rory leap, flip and tumble across the rooftops of a pre-Apocalypse Jerusalem as they join a ragtag gang of parkour enthusiasts in their unofficial prequel to 'World War Z' titled 'World of P'. The 'P' can stand for either parkour, prequel or podcast, let's be honest.

In our second ever venture into the Barbie multiverse, Sonny and Rory encounter a couple of low-level guards who'll do anything to rise through the ranks and become just like Barbie and her elite musketeers - even if it means resorting to toxic incel behaviour!

Teaming up for one last job (until the next episode), Sonny and Rory embark on a mission to help a college freshman lose his virginity in 24 hours, before an old family curse does something vaguely bad to him.
