Looks Unfamiliar: David Smith – Every Third Word Is The Word Clown

Bandslam (2009) - listen to David Smith and Tim Worthington talking about it in Looks Unfamiliar.

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 this time is quiz expert David Smith, who gets an R Tape Loading Error every time he asks anyone about Earthworm Jim, PC game Torin’s Passage, Bowie-featuring teen movie Bandslam, ideologically dubious ZX Spectrum game City Bomber, Little Clowns Of Happytown, Sega Megadrive pinball spinoff Sonic Mountain Quest, and techy partwork magazine Real Robots. Along the way we’ll be finding out how much money Norbit shouldn’t have made, the two biggest mistakes you can make when building a robot, whether it’s actually possible to get past Level 179 of Lemmings, and why Little Johnny Jewel by Television is directly responsible for the worst crime ever committed against both music and superheroes.
