With Umbrella, Charm And Bowler (that Other) Avengers Podcast

Disclaimer: This podcast was recorded pre-plague so some previews of upcoming projects may not now be accurate. Thomas and Scott are back to discuss the second of (thankfully) only three episodes featuring the infamous Dr. King as the Avengers search for “The Sell-Out”. There’s a mole in the organization and Steed and King are main suspects, or is the double agent even deeper. One Ten is on vacation and we meet his less friendly counterpart One Twelve as Steed is tasked with protecting a UN negotiator. Will Thomas’ nerves handle one more King episode after this? Did Scott enjoy it more than he should have? Will Steed be able to get to the bottom of Dr. King’s rugby career? These questions and more are answered this episode as well as extensive James Bond theme song discussion tangents and Tom and Scott sharing way too much about their love of all things Karen Gillan. Cathy Gale is back next time, but indulge us and give a listen to this one, hey, it will kill an hour of your quarantine. Don’t forget to take

Thomas and Scott tackle the sixth episode of season two as Steed and an unwitting Venus Smith infiltrate a “murder for hire” company. Its an episode thats heavy on the booze, sexiness and suntan oil as the French Riviera is the backdrop for this months intrigue. Venus gets two songs, the jazz pianist gets to solo and a surly dock worker gets to monologue. Bonus content includes: Did One Ten Tap That? And risking the ire of our listeners we talk way too long about some characters related to that “other” Avengers property.

Its a tale of corporate boardroom intrigue and murder this month as Thomas and Scott recap “Bullseye”. Its Cathy Gale doing all the heavy lifting for Steed this time as she infiltrates a gun manufacturing company that seems to be having a major problem with their stockholders being the fatal victims of their product. Fear not, Cathy is there to solve the mystery and, presumably, to make Steed a healthy stock profit. Is it the Avengers version of Gordon Geckko who is trying to take over the company? Is it the mild mannered secretary? Is it the creepy board member who cant stop touching women inappropriately? Is it Cathy Gale? All will be revealed as The Avengers give us this great Honor Blackman centered episode. So keep your powder dry and SELL, SELL, SELL when the Bear Market turns into a Bullseye Market (sorry, not sorry) on this months With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler.

Get ready to rumble as With Umbrella Charm and Bowler wrestles the third episode of season two to the ground and makes it submit. Thomas and Scott don their masks and cover The Decapod, which is a ten tentacle cephalopod, but thats not important right now. What is important is that Steed and singing companion Venus Smith have to protect a rather colorful leader of a Balkan country who has a penchant for watching his body guards wrestle, no judgement here. Theres two, count them, two lounge songs for us to enjoy, wrestling themed murders and even Steed himself ends up in the ring. Spoiler: Randy Savage he is not. Its a fun if underwhelming episode and we bring it to you from the top rope on With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler (That Other) Avengers podcast.

Scott and Thomas take a deep drink of Propellant 23 and cover the second episode of the second season. John Steed and Cathy Gale must find a Chinese missile fuel that has entered their realm in an unorthodox manner, in this tale of cold war intrigue. There are airport romances, airplane murders, airport drunks and bakers in peril in this episode. Plus an alternate universe France where no one has a French accent!!! Theres more bad fights, more great banter between Steed and Gale and a lot of drinking going on in this one, but sadly no champagne. Additional content includes a deep tangent on serialized television and the CW superhero shows as well as a discussion of many of the great Two True Freaks podcasts you should be listening to. Take a shot of rocket fuel and join us this month on With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler (That Other) Avengers podcast!Feedback for this show can be sent to: cheapscottproductions@gmail.com   

Thomas and Scott tackle the first episode of season two with the bizarre and brilliant “Mr. Teddy Bear”. We get to see the seeds of The Avengers we know begin to take root with this one and we also get introduced to Steeds new companion Cathy Gale, played by the incomparable Honor Blackman. Steed and Gale face off against a gadget orientated hitman with a penchant for stuff animals, mannequin heads and little pills that go boom. Also in this episode we meet Steeds boss, his dog and learn that he really needs to lock his apartment more often. Blackman gives us a solid debut as a worldly anthropologist who in many ways steals the episode from Macnee as they match wits with the first true Avengers super villain. Bonus content includes a contest and a discussion about whether or not judo training can also be a form of foreplay.

Youll find no “Endgame” here, were just getting started! Scott and Thomas cover the last episode of season one that they have access to as The Avengers deal with The Frighteners. John Steed finally joins our soon to be absent Dr. Keel to take on a company of Thugs for Hire who are set to rough up, and maybe worse, a man who just wants to be with a woman, but daddy doesnt approve. Is this a simple case of a Romeo and Juliet or are there more sinister forces at work? Will Steed save the day, or will he make Dr. Keel do the dangerous deeds? Will Thomas and Scott use half the podcast to talk about Doom Patrol again, or will they read a listener email and have a contest for our outro tag? All these questions or none of them will be answered in this episode of With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler, (that other) Avengers podcast.

Top Professional, Thomas Deja and Talented Amateur, Scott McGregor are back to finally cover a full episode of the earliest days of The Avengers. Sadly, Girl on a Trapeze is a “Steed Free” episode, but we get to see Dr. Keel and his bad ass nurse Carol take on some shady goings on at a traveling circus. Theres Iron Curtain(ish) intrigue, creepy clowns and of course some medical procedures. Bonus content this episode includes a way too lengthy tangent on the new Doom Patrol TV series and the Steed and Peel comics written by Grant Morrison. No Umbrellas, champagne or bowlers yet, but the circus is in town and a member of this podcast sings! So do please join us for this review of episode six of season one of The Avengers!Feedback for this show can be sent to: cheapscottproductions@gmail.com   

Its the inaugural episode of With Umbrella, Charm and Bowler (That Other) Avengers podcast. Thomas Deja and Scott McGregor discuss their introduction to “The Avengers” and other 60s/70s TV while growing up in New York and how it has shaped their cultural worldview and led to this podcast! In this episode they cover the incomplete first episode of the series (2/3 of which is lost to history), but Thomas has the inside spoilers on how it ends, so its worth the listen. Welcome to a journey into the wonderful absurdity of the glory days of TV spy shows! Sit back, open the champagne and Thomas and Scott will handle the rest.
