The Ferals PodcastFerals: First Wrapup Part IIAh sequels, where would we be without them? Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Speed 2: Cruise Control... my life would have no meaning!In this final of our two-part wrap up show, we delve into a mega-credits segment that looks at the amazing cast and crew involved in creating The Ferals, and their other notable career highlights... well, at least those we can track down via IMDB. Some true private eye-level investigations there, folks.We also cover our best and worst episodes (thanks to the stat-master Monkey Boy), general Season 2 'awards' and...2016-01-111h 13The Ferals PodcastBonus First WrapupAlas, it's all over, the last _fresh_ Ferals-related recording from us; yes, we still have our best of season two as a final release. But wait, in our obvious subconscious desperation to hold on to any semblance of a show that provides us three with a scintilla of meaning in our life, we've run over time. Yes, a whopping Peter-Jackson-worthy three and a half hours of raw uncooked Ferals deconstruction goodness. We've decided to split the recording into two parts: 1) First Wrapup and 2) Ferals: First Wrapup Part II.What you'll get in this episode: an in-depth _Charlie...2016-01-041h 45The Ferals PodcastS02E15 Fossil FoolsThis is it - dear listeners. The final countdown! It's been a long, hard road, but we're finally up to the last ever episode of The Ferals - Fossil Fools.While we still have our final wrap-up episode and Season 2 highlights package on the way, I feel it's only fitting that we step back and take a moment to bask in the glory of our accomplishment.Over 37 hours of talking bullshit about a 90s Aussie kids puppet show.Damn. That's a lot of bullshit.In the finale - Episode S02E15...2015-12-281h 35The Ferals PodcastS02E14 Joe's ArmyIt took 29 episodes, but it's finally come down to this, dear listeners.I'm quitting The Ferals Podcast. I know there's only one episode left to review - but I just can't take it anymore. The pressure to perform at an elite level; to put on an entertaining show, week in, week out - it's too much for me to handle. So, I'm sorry Monkey Boy & Mike - Swinny Costello is hitting the road. Going it alone. Like Jane Eyre - I've got to turn my back on something I truly love in order to continue my journey...2015-12-211h 09The Ferals PodcastS02E13 Prime SuspectBack in the episode summary for S02E05 - I predicted that Lenny would be the character most likely to snap and kill everyone on the show. But now I see I was truly misguided - my imagination led astray and lulled into a false sense of security by a character whose early intentions seemed good, nice...Innocent.However... imagination, of course, can open any door - turn the key and let terror walk right in.Robbie - you tricked me. And as I lie here dying - writhing in a puddle of...2015-12-141h 20The Ferals PodcastS02E12 Four Ferals and A WeddingAhhh... weddings. Everybody loves weddings. Or at least the guests sculling all the free alcohol do. So with that in mind, there's no better time to talk about another relevant subject that is very important, my friends.Laser Tag.For far too long, the dangers of Laser Tag have been concealed to the general public. But I'm here to uncover the truth and lay this barbaric excuse for a sport out for all to see! A few weeks ago, I witnessed - first hand - the horrors and terrible repercussions of this dreadful pastime.

I mean - the best possible idea one could possibly ever come up with....a Hollywood action-blockbuster interpretation of The Ferals - with all the animals played by actual actors - directed by Michael Bay!Rattus would be played by Tom Cruise, naturally. Modigliana would be played by Megan Fox (because Michael Bay). Scarlett Johansson would be Mixy and the part of Derryn would be played by Kelsey Grammar. He was in Transformers once, I think.Keith & Kylie? CGI robots. Because robots are...2015-11-231h 18The Ferals PodcastS02E09 Feral TV6 episodes away from the end of The Ferals, and I have a sneaking suspicion we'll never get to find out the answers to these very important, plot-critical questions:...Did Derryn ever rebuild peaceful diplomatic relations with the moon-king?...Will Lenny ever confess to lending his 'home movie' collection to Rattus?...Was the rock monster actually Bumblebee from Transformers?!?...Is Joe King's middle name 'Far'?You've got six episodes, people - time to start wrapping up those loose ends!Episode S02E09 of The Ferals features the launch...2015-11-161h 27The Ferals PodcastS02E08 Rich and InfamousLEGO Classic Creative Building Box.$40.00Family pass to see The Wiggles perform in concert.$150.00Letting your kids watch a show where puppet animals are served drinks by an indentured Latino servant named Gomez?Priceless.In Episode S02E08, Joe wins big on the lottery.
