Smersh Pod

Welcome to another ChirstSMERSH special. 

This week we’ll be really getting into the spirit of Christmas by letting a child eat his own weight in chocolate, giving life lessons to an old man, and making some parents feel like utter sh*t.

Yes, it’s Home Alone.

Joining me to make some bandits wet is Tom Burgess

This week we’ll be finding out just what happens when awful, unscrupulous people take over an airline and cause nothing but fear, panic, terror and chaos, and I’m not talking about Ryanair. 

Yes, it’s Die Hard 2

Joining me to do nude karate while ensuring that his seat is back and his folding trays are in their full upright position, is Paul Gannon.

This week we’ll be looking for true love, lost fathers and six fingers, but enough about those Andre the Giant rumours. 

Yes, it’s The Princess Bride. 

Joining me to read a story to a cancelled child, are Tom Neenan and Tom Crowley.

An archive classic all the way from 2017!

Grab a massive glass of Advocaat, down it in one and then pour another: it's the first of three Christmas Smershpod specials! Kicking us off, it's Richard Curtis's 2003 romantic-comedy Love Actually.

John is joined by the thoroughly brilliant Guardian TV critic Julia Raeside.

Welcome to a Christsmersh Special!

This week we’ll be having no sympathy for the devil, thank you very much, as we try and stop the very worst form of the Millennium Bug - Satan himself. 

Yes, it’s End of Days.

Joining me to link hands, sing Auld Lang Syne and fall on his own sword is Dan Thomas.
