This month the Geordie mafia returns in the shape of my very good friend Gary Foalle. A Bass player with Newcastle metal legends XLR8R and for one song only, Marillion! Gary also has a prog album about to come out, a project he\'s put together with people around the globe but we\'ll save that chat for Talking Bollocks. This is all about movies and we have lots to talk about.

This month I get to catch up with my new friend Derek Sykes. We met at Lords Of The Land in 2018 and at last get a chance to catch up properly. We cover a tonne of subjects including new music and what the future holds across a two part, three weeks apart interview. There is also the ever popular mix of news, reviews, complaints, observations, mental health warnings, almost great anecdotes, Babymetal and love for Randy Blythe. Yeah it is a weird one.

In this episode I get to catch up with the drumming legend that is Jimmy Degrasso. In an extended interview we cover a massive range of subjects from touring to auditioning, from food to festivals, from movies to lockdown we cover everything including his times playing with Alice Cooper, Megadeth, and Suicidal Tendencies. Also includes recommendations, warnings, signs of mental fatigue, arguments, the great dickhead debate, frontier gibberish, genuine concern for Ted Nugent\'s well being and much more.

I catch up with old friend, movie buff and Geordie guitar legend Ed Box. We go back to our youth and revisit a few moves before taking a wander through genres, directors, actors and movies that have made an impact on us. Also Ed gets to answer the podcast crucial questions at the end and then we carry on. Past the end.

In your second helping of bollocks this month we have some classic metal for you. First I catch up with Ralf from Mekong Delta who are one of the very first progressive thrash bands. We talk legacy, line up and the new album. Then it\'s a chat with fellow vocalist Candlemasses returning singer Johan Langqvist. We discuss his love of metal, what happened first time around and what the future may hold. Included are the usual bits and pieces, some recommendations, music and film, some moaning, some overly revealing personal comments and a general sense that things could go wrong any minute. The usual. This Is Phantom Ice Cream Van Bollocks

In another packed Bollocast I chat to former Shadows Fall, Flotsam and Overkill drummer Jason Bittner. We discuss ways of keeping busy during lockdown, collaborations and the latest on that long awaited Shadows Fall return. Next up I\'m off to talk to my newest friend Dany Jones of The Heretic Order. We discuss her journey from Naples to London, the cultural differences she had to overcome and of course being a woman in metal.Added to that are a few useless ideas, inconsistent opinions, tangents and the usual corona chat.

In this episode I catch up with a new friend and tell you all about how we first met which sounds like a scene from a movie. We talk comedy, music, punk, vinyl and the differences between our mutual lovers comedy AND Bill Stevenson of Descendents makes a guest appearance. Added to this is an oversized, humongous rant about Corona Virus and peoples various attitudes to gigs in the future. The future in some peoples cases meaning July.

In this episode I keep up the accidental theme of so far only having spoken to people called Paul on this podcast. In two very different interviews we cover a myriad of topics, movies, directors, genres and TV shows. There are of course some quality tangents included too, it wouldn't be a Bollocast otherwise!

In the first Bollocast of the new format you get an exclusive interview with the legendary VioLence vocalist Sean Killian. I had so much fun doing this, Sean was a great guest who I have been trying to get on the show for some time as I tell him. We cover all sorts of subjects like both being vocalists who have had our fair share of criticism over the years, new VioLence material, where it went wrong the first time around and how the reformation came about. You also get all the usual madness, maybe a little madder as lockdown starts to influence the show.

Episode one with BAFTA Award winning Peaky Blinders editor Paul Knight. In a wide ranging conversation we get stuck into the knock on effects of Coronavirus on the industry, the rise of high quality TV, how he got his start in the business and we get a chance to do a bit of The Sopranos worship too.This Is Movie Bollocks.
