This week, the dads head into the mosh pit with Jeremy Saulnier’s brutal, claustrophobic thriller Green Room — where a struggling punk band finds themselves trapped in a neo-Nazi club after witnessing a murder. It’s one part siege movie, one part social horror, and all parts grim.
When the Ain’t Rights take a last-minute gig deep in Oregon’s backwoods, they expect low pay and bad beer — not blood, dogs, machetes and Patrick Stewart as a terrifying skinhead ringleader. What follows is a night of panic, violence and duct-tape surgery, as the band fights to survive against an organised fascist militia who’d rather clean up witnesses than pay for another gig.
We dig into:
Elsewhere in the episode:
☕ The Top 5 Hot Drinks delivers peppermint tea, Dirty Harry’s coffee, and more filth than a builder’s thermos.
🎸 Reegs spirals into video-game documentaries (Tony Hawk: Pretending I’m a Superman, Speed Runners).
🎤 Dan gets nostalgic about The Last Dance, Sidey recounts a surreal Lady Gaga show, and everyone somehow ends up discussing Tracker bars.
It’s one of those episodes where the jokes come thick, the violence is thicker, and nobody leaves unscalded.
🎧 Listen now for fascists, feedback, froth and a quiz that can only be described as “Hot Coffee or Tea-bagger?”
