024 - Garreth Hirons - I Backed The Betamax Of Nirvana Spinoffs

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim for a second time is musician and writer Garreth F. Hirons, who's getting puzzled looks whenever he mentions The Yellow Album by The Simpsons, the Frankie Goes To Hollywood computer game, post-Nirvana outfit Sweet 75, sitcom Linc's, the Transformers 'Action Masters' range, The Way Of The Tiger gaming books, and high-concept soft drink Quatro. Along the way we'll be finding out why Ian Amblin took exception to E.T.'s Rugby League, how marketable a Richard Stilgoe Action Figure would be, the correct angle for Ped Gill's head, and more than you would ever rationally want to know about what happened on 24th November 1998. Plus there's an update on the Piers Morgan/Monster Munch debacle! Find more episodes of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/
