Why Did You Watch

The only kind of good podcaster is a dead podcaster! As it's the 20th episode David pitches one of his favourites to Cathy: Starship Troopers! Cathy has tried twice to get in to this film, but maybe three hours of David describing it instead was what she was missing...

Subscribing guarantees citizenship! As it's the 20th episode David pitches one of his favourites to Cathy: Starship Troopers! Cathy has tried twice to get in to this film, but maybe three hours of David describing it instead was what she was missing... 

Sometimes... dead is better. Cathy is still in a bad mood and taking it out on David by torturing him with his greatest pet peeve: people making stupid decisions in movies. Surprise appearance from Orville the duck, and see if you can spot the point when Cathy thought David said something incredibly rude. Answers on a postcard! Or better yet, on our social media:

'WhydidIwatch' on Twitter (X) and Facebook.

Who can make a podcast, sprinkle it with laughs, cover it in detail and split it into halves?

The Candy Man! Oh, Dave and Cath can...

Cathy has ulterior motives this episode. And several notes:

We talk a lot about racism in this episode. If you're not in the mood to listen to two white academics complain about racism then maybe give it a miss.

If you'd like to learn more about excited delirium, or the Reasonable Man defence (which Cathy confusingly calls the man on the bus defence), we recommend the following podcasts:

Things Fell Apart - The Most Mysterious Deaths (S2e1)

More Perfect - Mr. Graham and the Reasonable Man

 

Music is 'Helen's Theme', performed by Michael Riesman and The Western Wind, written by Philip Glass.

The thrilling conclusion of our origin stories! Cathy officially pitches a movie to David that inspired the podcast in the first place. It goes about as well as it did the first time, even with the most ridiculous movie quote of all time.

Note: Cathy would like to make it clear that when she describes what women want in films, she is talking from the point of view of producers, and not from her own point of view. Which should be obvious given her taste in films...

Welcome to the conclusion of our impromptu musical episode where David and I inexplicably sing our way through this 80s classic horror. While David is not convinced by the film, he seems delighted with Cathy's singing. 

*Trigger warning*

There is some talk of child abuse in this episode which we've tried to be as sensitive as possible about but if you're not up for that then maybe give this one a miss. Also the singing is pretty dreadful too.
