We missed you, we missed you.  NO ENCORE returns with checkerboard Vans, three-quarter-length shorts, Warped Tour t-shirt, and lip ring - side piercing, natch - all in tow as we stage-dive head-first into the career of rambunctious, implosive San Diego pop-punk icons Blink-182.  Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam welcome arts journalist and broadcaster, and dedicated Blink disciple Chris Wasser - he has the ink to prove it - to the studio co-host chair in honour of the recently reformed trio's hopeful return to Dublin in the coming days.  Hopeful in that the mood in the Blink camp is quite harmonious these days, and hopeful in the sense that oh for the love of god please let the gig actually go ahead this time, thank you. Don't miss out on exclusive Patreon bonus content - episode two of the NO ENCORE Film Club lands this Sunday, talking divisive Danny Boyle and Leonardo DiCaprio team-up The Beach. Hit up patreon.com/noencore for access.  ACT ONE: A preamble in which we ramble.  ACT TWO (9:40): Melvin Benn brings the curtain down on Electric Picnic for another year, Ireland officially inspires David Grohl and the Foo Fighters which also sparks a lengthy chat about criticism, a Donald Trump/Taylor Swift collision, James Hetfield auctions himself off, Olivia Rodrigo embraces a cat-like lifestyle, and Disney goes pop-punk - it's the news!  ACT THREE (42:17): Top 5 Blink-182 Songs. - Follow Chris Wasser on X / Instagram Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn podcast.  Normal business resumes following last week's debut Film Club offering as Hugh Carr of iRadio fame returns to the co-host microphone, and he's got five bulletproof Fall Out Boy songs with him in honour of this week's rather nostalgia-fuelled main event.  Throw in a stacked news section and it's all to play for on NO ENCORE this week.  Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE. ACT ONE (4:20): Following the tragic and untimely passing of Eoin French aka Talos, we try to find some words to honour the man's memory and the wonderful music he leaves behind.  ACT TWO (10:10): Our weekly news section features a typically ebullient Melvin Benn, the Olympics closing ceremony overloading Shazam, Nine Inch Nails providing a valid reason to see a Jared Leto movie, Kurt Cobain sparking a thoroughly modern debate, Ian Wright being awesome, a producer of a classic pop song sounding off, and the most important songs of Bryan Danielson's life.  ACT THREE (45:25): Top 5 Fall Out Boy Songs. - Follow Hugh Carr on Instagram / X / TikTok Listen to Seansalaíthe Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

A change of pace this week as we introduce our new stream of Patreon-exclusive bonus content with a feature-length free sample.  Joining the already-established Album Club is the NO ENCORE Film Club, in which Dave Hanratty and ex-Le Galaxie hitman Michael Pope convene to discuss the plot mechanics, onscreen standout performances, offscreen production anecdotes, and overall pop culture legacy of a chosen film.  Unlike the currently-on-hiatus NO POPCORN, there does not need to be a music-related connection to the motion picture in question, so it’s a free-for-all of cinematic offerings - both good and bad - that take our fancy.  And so the boys kick things off in boisterous cyberpunk style with 1995 box office bomb turned cult favourite - HACKERS. A chilling vision of things to come, or a crazy swing-and-miss attempt to capture sexy technological zeitgeist and future all at once?  Dave and Michael run through the plot, soundtrack, casting, and general notoriety of a film that confounded critics yet created a die-hard community that persists to this day.  The first episode of Film Club is free to all ears. Subsequent episodes will be housed exclusively at patreon.com/noencore and will drop on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between new episodes of Album Club. If you like what you hear and want more, please consider supporting our show.  And remember; HACK THE PLANET~! - Follow Dave and Michael on Letterboxd Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
