In a world saturated with cinematic adaptations, Christopher Nolan's latest film, based on the timeless tale of The Odyssey, has sparked both excitement and debate among audiences and critics alike. As fans of Nolan's previous work, we gathered to dissect this cultural event, sharing our thoughts and experiences after watching the film in various formats. What are the standout elements of this…
Hey — grab some popcorn and come hang out with us for a chaotic Family Feud–style podcast where Joe hosts Rewind Gen-X podcast (Matt and Ali) vs Rusted Junk (Charlie and Dom). Expect buzzer fails, playful roasting, and pop-culture throwdowns from Star Wars to James Bond to Christmas movies. It’s low-key, messy, and totally fun — like gossiping with friends while shouting answers at the TV. Tune in…
Spinal Tap is back for one last, barely‑functional blast of rock mayhem — and we’re diving straight into the glorious chaos of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. The band reunites for a final, unwanted concert, the amps are still dangerously loud, and the drummers remain statistically unsafe. We also take a moment to mourn the loss of Rob Reiner, the legendary filmmaker who gave the world Marty…
Two of us believe The Muppet Christmas Carol is the peak of festive cinema, a perfect blend of Michael Caine’s gravitas and Gonzo’s narration. The other thinks it should be buried in the past with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Join us for a heated debate where we defend the magic of "One More Sleep 'til Christmas" against a co-host who has officially gone full Humbug. Is Michael Caine the…
Ho Ho Ho! We’re digging back into the controversy with the 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange. This episode mixes nostalgia, outrage, and obsession as the hosts debate Kubrick’s shocks, Malcolm McDowell’s wild turn, the film’s notorious bans, and why the movie still makes people squirm today. Expect candid opinions (some love it, some loathe it), behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and a few laughs — as a…
Hey — welcome to Rusted Junk. We’re digging into the 1994 classic Leon the Professional: Jean Reno’s quiet intensity, Natalie Portman’s breakout performance, and Gary Oldman’s unforgettable chaos. We chat versions (definitely watch the extended cut), the film’s European-meets-New York vibe, and why the director’s real-life history makes the story harder to swallow for some. It’s frank, a bit…
We’re chatting Monty Python’s Life of Brian: the controversy, the quotable moments, the oddball humour, and whether it still lands. Think of this as two mates catching up over a pint and arguing about what’s actually funny. Whether you’re a lifelong Python stan or a Gen Z first-timer, there’s a lot here to laugh at, squirm at, and debate. Spoilers? Slightly. Strong opinions? Absolutely. Pull up a…
Hey — remember that time a billionaire offered a million bucks for a night and everyone lost their damn minds? We laughed, cringed, and argued our way through Indecent Proposal. Join us for a cheeky, unfiltered chat about bad choices, terrible financial planning, and why hippos ruin dramatic finales. It’s casual, messy, and strangely nostalgic — perfect for anyone who loves a guilty-pleasure watch…
Come join us like you're hearing it from a mate on the sofa — we’re dissecting Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut: the weird, the beautiful, and the utterly baffling. We chat why Joe’s obsessed, why some of us were left cold, and the wild conspiracy theories that keep people rewatching this film for years. Expect humour, friendly arguments, and a few eyebrow-raising moments. Perfect if you love film rabbit…
Well, for regular podcast listeners, the time has come - Forrest Gump is Charlie's most contentious film and, my goodness, he doesn't hold back. Spoiler alert but it's 2 against 1 but it's a must-listen and (we think) one of our best.
