Robert takes on all challengers from all over the country, and takes them down online on EF 2000. Meanwhile rap group The Brotherhood drop by to play Wave Race 64. Dom is being ironic in California with Digital Domain, there's news on POD, Dante's Peak and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, and reviews of Soul Edge (PSX) and Melt (PC). The latter of which is... well it's something. NOTE: There was a problem with Luke's audio for the first 15ish minutes so it sounds like he's on his phone. It's fine after a while. Sorry!

| 20 Dec 2022 | UCP Xmas Special 2022: Eurotrash Xmas Special 1995 | 01:30:25 | |
Bonsoir my podcast chums! Welcome to our 2022 Xmas special where we stay up past our bedtime for a little bit of late night Channel 4. The kids are in bed and most of the decent films have finished, so it's time to flip the channel and turn the volume down as Ash & Luke tackle the bulging sack of goodies that is the Eurotrash Season Finale/Christmas Special/New Years Special from December 29th 1995. It's got everything that made Eurotrash great: the double act of Antoine de Caunes and Jean-Paul Gaultier, weird music, swingers, scatological humour, Pipi and Popo... it also has the Romeo Cleaners. We also take a look at what else was showing on the 29th of December 1995, and discover that a lot of the schedulers must drink in the same pub. Join us, won't you? Buy tickets for UCP Live 2.0 here.
