Tim and Maynard return with Bunga Bunga 55 just in time to advise the Australian Labor Party on their future AND blame their election loss on the catchy jingle they DIDN’T use.

Tim is going to Hobart, Maynard is going Village People (again).

Bunga Bunga doesn’t obsess over popular culture, we obsess obsessively over UNpopular culture.

We raise trivial issues of great importance including (but are not limited to):

Sir Lawrence Olivier, girl guides, Law & Order’s obsession with our podcast, what happens when Batman goes on holiday, Tim in a barrel, the sanctity of marriage/Star Wars, Apollo 11, the Hammond organ and the unearthly sound of Maynard’s possibly haunted harmonica.

That Flying High scene we talk about

What kind of a CD does an adult buy? Tim & Maynard have no idea. What kind of music wins an academy award? Maynard & Tim can only guess. Badly. Have Australian politics demystified, and find out which one of these two floats in Bunga Bunga 54.

Tim is on sale and Maynard is going out the door at below cost as BB54 whistles a happy tune, warns you of Tim coming to a street near you and answers your Crankmail.

Desperately Seeking Lance

Those desperately seeking Lance Leopard need listen no further than this podcast as Lance returns to talk all things fashion, faux pas and fabulousness.

Maynard is desperately seeking legendary Oxford St legend Lance Leopard in his credenza filled rooftop garden ivory tower of gossip. There are movies, dancing, some singing, and of course talk of Madonna and Elizabeth Taylor.

Lance Leopard reads yet Madonna book in the rooftop garden of his ivory tower.
Lance Leopard reads yet another Madonna book in the rooftop garden of his ivory tower.

Lance recommends a few lesser known Elizabeth Taylor movies for us as well as reciting by heart her complete range of fragrances.

Listener mail has Lance answering questions on…

Fashion mistakes he has made: “I don’t know what you are talking about”.

The cyclical nature of fashion: “The 1980s has already come and gone three times already this century. Things can come into fashion for one evening now, if someone has a good enough party.”

If you’d like to join Lance Leopard and myself at Barbarella on June 4 at Red Bar, details and tickets are here.

Lance also finds time (as his mother is staying with him) to review the recently renovated Midnight Shift, now known as the Universal. But he still has a soft spot for The Palms (previously Scooters) as he used to DJ there regularly.

The next Loveshack comes your way for your complete cocktail dancing experience on Saturday 22nd June. Facebook event here.

Although Lance’s claim of a needle mark on Marilyn Monroe’s body after death isn’t on the 1962 coroner’s report, her toxicology report does raise some questions that weren’t answered.

Lance didn’t like madonna’s 2012 fragrance or the bottle it came in. Make up your mind about the bottle.

In true Bunga Bunga fashion, Tim and Maynard get stuck into Tim’s huge new secret art project. It’s very big, very ambitious and very Ferguson.

The two are very impressed by Madonna’s acting/hair colour. Tim confesses his personal 1985 journey from Punk to Madonna devotee.

Maynard helps Kitler the Nationalist cat feel better. Recreational drugs aren’t just for mice anymore.

They also reveal how Tim can deliver The Liberal party a huge win in the coming election.

In a bonus to all listeners Tim reveals his previously deeply guarded secrets of financial investment in the only recession proof investments. Star Wars toys and Captain Marvel merchandise. You’ll thank us in your retirement.

William Shatner charms Sydney

William Shatner charmed the frankly overexcited crowd that came from far and very wide to see his live solo show at The State Theatre in Sydney in October 2018.

I grabbed my best Shatner tie and my 1969 BBC Star Trek puzzle book and knew I was going to be among my kind of people.

Maynard wearing his William Shatner tie for William Shatner live in Sydney.
If I can’t wear this tie tonight. Then when?

The resulting Planet Maynard podcast is from the dozen people I spoke with at The State Theatre that night.

The many shades of Shatner mentioned included:

The Outer Limits, TJ Hooker, Miss Congeniality, The Twilight Zone, Shit My Dad Says, Tribbles, Gorn, Kingdom of the Spiders, Canada, Red Shirts,Flying High 2, Star Trek 2 (but not Star Trek 5). Yet not one person could even hum the theme to one of my favourite works of The Shatman, Barbary Coast.

Here’s Bill in a mauve smoking jacket as he turns out to be a man of many disguises in the opening credits.

That theme tune!

Thanks to the Red Shirts, Belinda and her mum Robyn from the southern tablelands, Kevin Williams and the disgruntled Canadian.

Look At His Butt podcast (the all Bill all the time Star Trek show)
