  • Turkey In The Straw (Part Two)
    2025/11/24

    "ALF must avoid the Alien Task Force when a homeless guy blows the whistle on him."


    Im sure he's had worse blown on him....I mean, erm....happy Thanksgiving. Or Fappinao if you're from Melmac like ALF who is in danger of being pulled apart for experiments thanks to the shady behaviour of Flakey Pete. Its almost like his name was trying to tell us something.


    Sat in the van waiting for action are Ben Baker and John Matthews with some magazines and a deflated balloon for company. Also: Trevor sings!

  • Turkey In The Straw (Part One)
    2025/11/17

    "The Tanners are invited to a Thanksgiving dinner with the Ochmonek's bizarre relatives"


    TWO PARTS? And we're getting double Trevor and Raquel?? Strap us down and feed us rubber vomit! And who wrote this? The bloke who did ALF's Christmas Special? Oh ffffff......


    ...well, this is going to be an interesting Fappiano for Ben Baker and John Matthews. But could it be a miracle?

  • Pantosplaining - Pilot (Video Version)
    2025/11/14

    NOTE: If the video doesnt play, check out the alternate source here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovYesOJsi88


    And this is the panto poster we are discussing: https://bsky.app/profile/pantosplaining.bsky.social/post/3m52374ra622q


    If you've got this far into the series of "ALFsplaining" you'll be unsurprised that Ben Baker and John Matthews are pretty obsessional men. Not about anything predictable of course - this ALF podcast proves that! But as we've a week between episodes of the sitcom, we thought you might like to learn about another of our big shared loves - panto posters.

    Listen or watch along to the pilot of "Pantosplaining" where we pluck a poster from panto history and look at what we can find out about it for a real deep dive with many diversions into silliness.


    Why is Chris Quinten the new Robocop?

    Which position does Jess Conrad play in the Showbiz XI?

    What makes a good celebrity photograph?

    And will Norman Collier ever get that microphone fixed?!?

  • Promises, Promises
    2025/11/03

    "ALF reveals that Lynn is dating Eddie to her parents' dismay."

    They do seem obsessed with Lynn dating oddballs, dont they? And few come odder than Michael "Des" "Barnes", aka that British bloke who was in all the American sitcoms.


    Equally odd and also with erm...well you know, Ben Baker and John Matthews are also here. But you knew that.

  • Tonight Tonight
    2025/10/26

    "ALF hosts The Tonight Show for Johnny Carson...."


    ALF is live across America and its not a dream sequence. I mean, its not really much of anything but who needs explanations when you've got the U.S' most beloved late night talk show of all time? Its all a ruse to make a clip show but there's a fair bit of new material with the ALFer meeting lots of interesting guests, including...The Pope?

    In the wings, Ben Baker and John Matthews wait eagerly to see if they've been bumped. To help their case, they've invited a returning special guest to explain all things Carson - writer, musician and real life American Charlie Mason. Find more of his stuff on soaps.com.

  • Stairway to Heaven
    2025/10/13

    "ALF meets his guardian angel who makes him see life without the Tanners, and vice versa."


    A wonderful life - it is?! ALF's getting out of the house by means of fantasy again and this time it involves Sheena Easton. Ben Baker and John Matthews look on confused and wondering how this all ties into "Saved By The Bell", Bloomingdale's or Donald Trump. All will be revealed inside!
