Ugly Pulp Odyssey
85 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago -Welcome to The Ugly Pulp Odyssey! Join us as we take an often uncultured, somewhat uneducated, and completely Scottish look at popular films from across the decades. There are childish sound fx, terrible impressions, and lots of returning segments including The Sh*tshow - a special monthly episode devoted to the worst films to grace the big screen. So tune in and listen to your hosts Baz, Marty and Rossco say the things no film critic would dare to say!
