“You break my record, now I break you, like I break your friend.” This episode we venture to Hong Kong with Van Damme to the most dangerous fighting tournament in the world with 1989’s Bloodsport. This film has a cult status but does it hold up nearly 40 years later? Join us as we look at the highs, lows and sheer 80’sness of this “true story” from the decade where nothing was impossible. Please…
“Uh oh fart. Uh oh fart.” This week we are back in the decade we love, Christmas is over and as we start 2026 we take a road trip with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. Rain Man has been on our list for a long time, so join us as we delve further into this award winning classic. We have plenty more episodes planned for this year so make sure you are subscribed on your podcasting app of choice so you…
“Christmas is a very busy time for us, Mr. Cratchit. People preparing feasts, giving parties, spending the mortgage money on frivolities. One might say that December is the foreclosure season. Harvest time for the money-lenders.” It’s nearly Christmas and from both of us we would like to say thank you to everyone for your support throughout the years and 2026 will be another fun year in the land…
“Would it please the court if I gave you your Christmas card? I don't think I'll see you again. Unless I get arrested, which is highly unlikely because it's Christmas Eve and I'm going to bed uncharacteristically early.” Ho- Ho - Ho! Another decade breach this week for Christmas and this week we venture to New York in the 90s for Miracle on 34th Street. This remake of the 1947 film is fondly…
"Get outta here, you nosey little pervert, or I'm gonna slap you silly!" After nearly a year away we are delighted to be back with a whole bunch of new episodes starting with this Christmas gem. Yes, it’s the 90’s but 80’s Christmas films are hard to come by and besides, if you can’t decade breach at Christmas when can you? So, join us as we get lost in New York with Kevin McCallister and try to…
“The problem is, Jessie... I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore.” Ho-Ho-Ho. This week we are looking at a film we have debated doing every Christmas and that film is 1986’s Prancer. Starring the wonderful Sam Elliott, this Christmas adventure follows a young girl who finds a wounded reindeer and believes it is the infamous Prancer. So what did we think of this film? Did it ignite the festive joy…
“You're the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.” This episode we catch up with John McClane as he goes to pick his wife up from the airport at Christmas and well, you know the drill. With a slight decade breach we head to 1990 for Die Hard 2. It’s a tough task to live up to the original and in this episode we see if it can be done. So, grab one of Al’s Twinkies and join us as the…
“Fine. I'm gone. It's done. And you can go back to doing whatever you want to do, with whoever you want to do it, and whatever orifice you want to do it in.” This episode we go to a film that neither of us had ever seen as we head to Chicago in 1986 for About Last Night… starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore who look just as good today as they did nearly 40 years ago. So, why not head down to Mothers…
“They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were.” This episode we journey through the mythical land of Fantasia and beyond with Bastian, Atreyu and a whole collection of quirky and wonderful characters. This gem from 1984 still captures the hearts and imaginations of children and adults alike today, so why not take a listen and see what we have to say…
“There's something out there. That... that witch in the cellar is only part of it. It lives... out in those woods, in the dark... something... something that's come back from the dead.” Happy Halloween! This episode we are getting “groovy” with Ash in Evil Dead 2. This bonkers Sam Rami film from 1987 has an amazing cult following but will it have two more by the end of the episode? So let's all…
