We're back in the dusty seats of the local flea-pit cinema to talk about the films of 1997 this time on the podcast. There was some serious box office cash spent this year and we cover some of the biggest smashes in cinema history.We're joined by brother of the pod Adam to pick two films each to talk about, plus we've all watched Spice World for the first time ever! And of course, we'll break down the box-office top 10 and the award winners. Tune in to find out which film Alex only realised was an all-time classic only after a rewatch in his late 30s, which threequel does Stu think is somewhat overlooked and which film was the first 15 certificate film Adam saw in the cinema. And what did we all think of the plot of Spice World?Also this time: 90s tennis players! 90s exhibition visits! A potential challenger to the role of official diarist of the pod!

Five years, eh?! Who would have thought that a tinpot project that started way back in June 2021 would have come this far. That is to say, a tinpot project which has somehow now produced over a hundred episodes? Join us as we celebrate this significant milestone for the podcast!In a shocking turn of events, just as we had finished putting up the streamers and balloons, the podcast accidentally broke through to the mainstream through an Instagram reel of us discussing mixtapes and BBC2 idents, generating a high level of (mostly positive) interest from new listeners to the pod (we hope). How will the lads handle their new found fame? More to the point, how will Geoff monetise it? If only he was around somewhere so that he could be asked that question.Once the party begins in earnest, we swap gifts before taking on an extended quiz, then answer some listener questions in our first ever 'Ask Us Anything' . There's far too much Aston Villa/Norwich City content in the end, but it's our birthday so you'll have to let us off.Also this time: Hungry Joes! Culture Club redux! Bees in goalmouth redux! And much, much more...Thank you for all your support over the past five years, we make the show for you and we really do appreciate it.

Excitingly, this is our first ever FULLY VISUAL episode of the pod, so we urge you to watch along wherever the visual version is available.Join us as we watch along with the very first episode, from 1997.

If You Have To Ask what this episode is about, then you'll never know...don't turn over to the Otherside, because this time on IBAITN, and much to Stu's excitement, we're finally Road Trippin' (OK, that's enough of that) through the history of one of the biggest rock bands of the 90s, Red Hot Chili Peppers.Join us as we look at each classic 90s RHCP album in turn, examining the highs and lows of their decade including more on the John Frusciante redemption arc, the cursed One Hot Minute tour, and the Californication-era gigs with Stu's dream line-up of bands.

Listen up! This time we're talking about one of the purest sources of nostalgia there is - sound and TV theme tunes. It turns out there really is a wealth of 90s nostalgia in the world of audio.We've each picked 5 sounds and 3 TV theme-tunes to discuss, so tune in to find out which of Stu's choices was the subject of extensive online detective work, which form of physical media did both Stu and Alex reference, which slice of sports-based audio can Stu quote along to in real time, and which TV theme tunes almost paralyse Alex with nostalgia...Also this time: Hot air balloons!

If there's one thing that everyone at IBAITN Towers can agree on, it's that the halcyon days of collecting physical media really were the best of times, which the streaming media of today simply cannot replace. To that end, we've decided to spend some time reminiscing about our own personal favourite VHS tapes and CD singles from the decade.We've each picked one VHS and single each to discuss, so tune in to find out which video cassette Alex was given by a famous (and unnamed) neighbour to make up his collection of one (1) VHS, which phrases from the original and best football bloopers tape are still used by Stu today when he needs a haircut, and which obscure CD singles the chaps have chosen to highlight as their favourites of the 90s, one of which already has a place in podcast lore...Also this time: 90s web addresses!

It's time for another 90s Time Capsule episode on the pod, and this time we're welcoming back original member of Stiltskin, production company CEO and musician Peter Lawlor.As usual we allow our guest to pick a selection of things they'd like to bring back from the 90s, plus one thing they'd rather leave in the past. Tune in to find out which British comedy Peter is convinced by Stu and Alex to switch for an alternative, which live music-based programming Peter watched alongside someone who had appeared live on that show earlier that very day, and why Michael Carrick has rendered one of Peter's choices redundant.

We feel it in our fingers, we feel it in our toes...yes, it's Valentine's Day at IBAITN Towers (or at least it was - nearly - when this episode was recorded), and who better to help us examine romance in the 90s than our very good friend and official teenage diarist of the pod, Teresa Stenson? The pod lawyers have been all over this one and plenty of names have been redacted to protect the innocent, so tune in as we discuss the iconic couples, cultural moments and romantic gestures of the 90s, while Teresa gives us a world exclusive of some 'affecting' teenage poetry, Stu reveals his bigamist past, and a Take That episode gets planned for recording while Alex is on holiday...Also this time: Catalogue shopping!
