Best Superhero Movie Ever?
by Mc on May.01, 2012, under Podcasts
Yes...it's finally here
The road that began years or decades ago when you first heard of or read your first Avengers comic, or that began for us in Summer 2010 when we first saw Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assembled on stage at San Diego Comic Con, ends this week with the release of Marvel’s The Avengers in cinemas across the world (everywhere that is except America this week for some reason).
As you can guess Gavin and I “go deep” on our review in this week’s cast but for the cautious we do avoid spoilers until the 45th minute of the cast, and we very clearly state this, so you can’t blame anyone but yourself if you hear too much.
This weeks’s show also has a very quick, non-spoilery review of The Cabin in the Woods and some of the usual news for which the show notes are below, Enjoy!
- Fresh off the internet presses, it’s the third and final Dark Knight Rises trailer
- The third trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (might be best to miss if you wnat to avoid spoilers)
- First pictures emerge of Anthony Hopkins As Alfred Hitchcock
Trailer for Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3 : Dog Days the only movie to melt Gavin’s cold stone heart - Here the trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Male stipper flick Magic Mike Starrign Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey!
- Trailer for promising prohibition crime drama Lawless

Podcast 100!
by Mc on Apr.16, 2012, under Podcasts
Nope, we've not even made ONE of these doing this bloody show
Yes, not only have we managed to do another podcast only the week after the last one, but this week’s show also marks the 100 episode (I’m not evevn kidding!).
With our usual panache, style and attention to preparation we’ve done absolutely nothing special for this week’s podcast to celebrate and instead we get on with the very important work of chatting about movies, insulting our audience (and Forest Whitaker) and reviewing John Carter of Mars, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and of course (!!?) A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas.
As usual here’s the show notes for anything we referenced on the show in case you want to take a look with us:
- Trailer for Rian Johnson’s “Looper ” starring Brice wilis and Jospeh Gordon Levitte
- Cool Poster for Tarantino’s “Django Unchained”
- Mondo Tees the site where Gavin can’t get a poster, no matter how hard he tries!
- WRIGHT!: Edgar Wright’s Intereactive web comic series thingy Brandon Generator
- PEGG! Trailer for Sion Pegg starring A Fantastic Fear of Everything
- Link from a lister: The 10 worst possible movies to convert to 3d from @rue_ay_ee on Twitter
Lets see if we can manage another 100!! or maybe … 8!

Laserdicks For Rental
by Mc on Apr.08, 2012, under Podcasts
As you can tell from the headline, ripped from the podcast itself, absolutely nothing has changed during our little break from podcasting. We have returned as immature and vulgar as ever.
Thor and Agent Coulson eagerly await the mcyapandfries podcast to finish downloading, on dial-up
As we’ve been away quite a while, on this week’s show we discuss only the very best and most interesting of the movie news that happened during the break, or at least the most interesting news that we can stilll remember after a month or two.
We’re also playing catch up on the review front, with The Hunger Games, Underworld Awakening, The Descandants, Abduction (!?) and Midnight in Paris all getting reviewed in one form or another on the show.
As usual, I’ll leave you with the show notes so you can share in the trailers and pics we discussed, as well as with the promise that we should now be back on a regular schedule, providing you with more podcast goodness, more often.
Until next time:
- That amazing Prometheus trailer
- The slightly different Imax Prometheus trailer
- Sean Bean in Drag!!?
- The trailer for Ted from Seth McFarlane
- The first Trailer for the Colin Farrell remake of Total Recall

Would you use an almost new spy-gadget from this man?
This week we are back on schedule and back to somewhat decent sound quality (I think, fingers crossed) with another great show featuring the usual news, including the casting of the new Q in the ext Bond movie “Skyfall” (that’s him over there) and reviews of “Larry Crowne”, directed by Tom Hanks and starring Julia Roberts amongst others; Ryan Gosling’s “Drive”; “The Trip” starring Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge and Phileas Fogg from the “Around the World in 80 Days” movie with Jackie Chan) and Rob Brydon (Uncle Bryn from Gavin and Stacey) as themselves as they argue and try out restaurants.
You’ll also finally get to hear Gavin’s thoughts on Tin Tin .
Here’s the show notes:
- Link to the pictures of John Logan, screenwriter of the next Bond movie “Skyfall” that Gavin found… interesting.
- Video of the production of “Aliens…on ice!” by The Old Murder House Austin.
- Simon Pegg’s “Mission Impossible: Ghost protocol” featurette (we love ‘im we do).

This podcast is BROKEN
by Mc on Nov.24, 2011, under Podcasts
Consider yourself warned.
Due to either the electromagnetic properties of Gavin’s farts, the fact that David Knight’s musical genius disrupts all known recording media, or because I screwed up the “refurbishment” of our “recording” “studio“(aka messed up the reinstallation of my laptop) this weeks’ podcast goodness is plagued by clicks and echo’s which I’m afraid no end of post processing and audio magick has been able to fix.
I’m putting it up as we had such a good time making it and we managed to get a guest star to join in, but the quality is, like, the worst. Consider this McYapandFries lost tape volume 1 (although that should really be the London-KL skype cast with 5 minutes delay between each end, but that’s really unlistenable).
Anyway if you can bear the rubbish sound quality this week’s cast features reviews of comedy Drama “Crazy, Stupid Love”, starring Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore and Emma Stone; banking crisis drama “Margin Call” with a stellar cast featuring Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons and Zachary Quitno amongst others; body switch gross out comedy “The Change up“ starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman, and finally “Melancholia”, the latest from Danish nut job Lars von Trier.
As usual here’s all the trailers that we discuss in the show, the next show should be back to full audio quality once more (if not quality of content). Enjoy!
- Trailer for Maggie Thatcher drama “The Iron Lady”
- In the first of the competing Snow White trailers we have Kristen Stewart,Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron (as the Evil Queen) in “Snow white and the Huntsman”
- Followed by an altogether differnet take with Julia Roberts hamming it up in “Mirror, Mirror”.
- Trailer for Madonna’s directorial debut W.E.
- (The “sizzle reel” for Liam Neeson’s “The Grey” has been taken down)
