Jam packed episode!! Lots of comic book nostalgia talk, Jesse’s fateful viewing of “Madam Web”…(don’t do it kids), but saved by the FREEKY good “Twisters”( DO IT!!!), before we explore some insanely good albums by NIN, Danzig and snarly mcsnarl himself, Uncle Dave n Megadeth, before taking y’all on a voyage into hell with one of the 90s comic book cult phenom’s…”Faust”. Jake gives us the lowdown o...

We have returned after a wild couple of weeks off and chat up the goodness for y’all. This weeks focus is social commentary and talk back radio, brilliantly portrayed and prophetically also in the Oliver Stone film “Talk Radio”(1988). We chat deep on this one as well as the social commentary around it. We also discuss the new Superman film BTS pics floating around. Toys, comics and a Jake medical...

On this episode, we chat over the new Predator vs Black Panther comic, Jake gushes verbal diarrhoea over his acquisition of the FAUST omnibus, before we have some laughs over first reactions to the Crow reboot, gushing over the new Alien: Romulus trailer and more, before discussing a non zombie George Romero film, that in true style, hits the be...

In this exciting episode, we first chat the new Motley Crüe track and talk about the vibe of replacing key members in your favourite band. Jake gives us the rundown on the new X-Men comics and we chat new Blood Hunt and then finally discuss our joy at James Gunn’s first image of the new Superman(old news, but we ain’t a news show hahaha). This weeks movie is a good one as we talk about”Stone Cold”...

Grab your deck, drop the fringe and be rad with your fave idiots as we recap the finale of the AWESOME finale of “X-Men 97” and then get nostalgic about the skateboarding culture of the 80s and bit, before discussing a criminally overlooked film “Gleaming the Cube”(1989). Starring Christian Slater and a very young Tony Hawk, right as both were on their respective upward star trajectory. This is mo...

On this weeks slight detour episode, we pay tribute to the late great Roger Corman and his impact on Horror, as well as tribute to Susan Backlinie(Jaws). She will be forever remembered as the greatest Horror movie extra in one of the greatest scenes of all time. We chat the new Marvel “Blood Hunt” comic book event series, and other bits and pieces before chatting this weeks movie(not Ginger Snaps...

EPIC ROCK N ROLL EPISODE ALERT!!! This is one for the ages as we chat the Marvel crossover event that started it all with “Conquest of Champions”(1982). Jake tells us about the rad new Transformers comics making the rounds, before we salivate over one of the best rock albums of the 80s with The Cult’s ‘Sonic Temple’. Such a killer album! We also share our 10 individual picks for 80s power ballads....

We kick off our deep dive into one of the best Werewolf movie series you need to see! And if you already have, then you are RAD!!! We love this movie and give you all the best reasons why, as well as a bit of a fun feelgood Jake Time story from Halloween and my experience working with Alice Cooper. Also some cool comic nerd chats and more.

A landmark achievement unlocked as we celebrate 75 episodes of RAD and deliver to you an epic episode with all manner of randomness as well as a chat about the 1993 flick “The Three Musketeers.” A perfect film with a perfect single for the soundtrack. Simpler times as we always reminisce on and all the usual banter. Enjoy!

Another epic FREEKY episode and we’re joined by none other than our returning mate and SFX superstar, Chad Atkinson. He worked as part of the KNB FX team, led by Greg Nicotero(The Walking Dead), who are behind so many great movies we love, including this overlooked gem. Chad gives some great insight into working behind the scenes on the practical effects, working with Rebecca DeMornay, as well as...

This is ULTIMATE CHEESE!!! We’re talking cascading fondue fountain and cheesy goodness, chatting X-Men 97, Bon Jovi(Again?? Why not!!), memories of Wrestlemania and gush over the recent one. Jake also expresses his disdain of the song “Road to Nowhere,” and the traumatic high school story behind such trauma(he blames Beavis and Butthead), the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul MASSACRE and we get into the so...

Ever want to listen to two grown dudes fangirl like crazy over a movie? We did and this episode is for you! Not only do we discuss the brilliance of the 1987 severely criminally underrated vampire classic, “Near Dark”, and why it should be listed with “Fright Night” and “The Lost Boys” as the go to 80s vampire flicks. We also discuss the interesting parallels of The Lost Boys and Near Dark. Also,...

In this very RAD episode, we discuss the new X-Men 97 cartoon series that is brilliant and we share some fond memories, before chatting lots of Rad stuff and the underrated 90s Hard Rock band, Hardline, that segues nicely into this weeks movie “RAPID FIRE”(1992), starring the legendary Brandon Lee, in his breakout Hollywood action role. Included are an unforgettable cast and of course Hardline in...

BIG EPISODE and we unpack a lot before we get into our final episode of our Romero-thon that is the “Dead” series. First off, Jake teases his elation of the X-Men 97’ cartoon series, before unleashing on the trailer for the upcoming Crow reboot. It’s a hot topic right now and we debate its relevance and service to the legacy. We also spring joy over the terrifying trailer for Alien: Romulus, that...

Super fun, super rad episode kicking off with Jesse’s recap of the recent Machine Head/Fear Factory concert and the mutual love for new lineups and the legacy of the music and stuff. And then we time warp to 1987 and discuss the cheesy brilliance that is AMERICAN NINJA 2!!!! We discuss the GI JOE-isms and just how much fun this movie is watched rather than picked apart. Tell your mates and enjoy t...

Let’s get FREEKY as we celebrate 30+ years of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”, a happy birthday to Jesse, comics and the bizarre trend of people attending concerts….really late in the show. We then continue our Romero-thon into the ‘Dead’ series with the “Diary of the Dead”(2007). Another triumph of social commentary and as we discuss, a somewhat overlooked film in the series. Enjoy!

Action packed episode!!! We wish Trent and co a HAPPY RAD BIRTHDAY to one of our favourite albums, and unpack some great memories of a magical time. We also…sigh over the initial images released from the new Crow remake film. But we get all kinds of RAD as we dive into a Cannon Films classic and a film that really set the standard “AMERICAN NINJA”. We got a lot of love for this GI JOE themed actio...

This week on the FREEKY FRIDAY show, we are joined once again by SFX wizard and good mate, Chad Atkinson. “Land of the Dead”(2005) is hands down George Romero’s action packed entry in his Dead series and Chad worked on this one!! So, it was only fitting to get the man back on to share some tales and insights on working on some of the amazing gore and zombies alongside Mr Romero and Greg Nicotero(T...

On this weeks episode, we pay tribute to the legend of Carl Weathers, with one of the most underrated and highly RAD action films, ACTION JACKSON. For whatever reason, this film was stacked against heavy box office competition and we feel didn’t get the love it deserves. We reminisce on lots of rad related memories of the glory days also as well as a JON BON JOVI action figure??? Tune and get RAD...

The third entry to the Romero “Dead” series sees us take a different kind of turn with an enjoyable and interesting story development in the series, whilst not quite as memorable as the previous two. However! Tom Savini provides the gore and practical FX that takes this film to a whole new level of genius. We also chat Bon Jovi and that new Exorcist film that Jake hated a lot. Enjoy!

Deliveries, a dive into our love the X-Men “Inferno” series of the 80s and why 80s series make so much more sense than now, a frolick through new reads in comic nerdville and more, before we discuss the awesomeness of Antonio Banderas and his 99 (severely underrated)blockbuster “The 13th Warrior”. A rare feat in a film where the lead actor stays humble and helps create equilibrium in such a great...

This sequel set the standard as an incredible follow up to the original NOTLD, and its bold social commentary that is deeply discussed many years later. A fantastic story and moment in time! We discuss this and the somewhat parallel but often different interpretations offered in the Snyder 2004 remake. An explosive action packed and violent retelling that doesn’t try to one up the original, but of...

Assless jeans!! Who remembers SO FINE??? Wow!!Tupperware….AVON parties!!! We get nostalgic before going back in time at lyrics speed to talk about this weeks rad pick, “SPACEBALLS”(1987). If you haven’t seen it, you must become one with the Schwarz!! Check out the So Fine Jeans ad: https://youtu.be/io53QMwHZ48?si=SsQGSQay_j644_Of

We have risen from the grave again to bring you our first FREEKY episode for 2024, and dive into the zombie universe of the legendary George Romero. Kicking off this deep dive with the movie that changed the zombie cinema and set a standard that holds strong today. NOTLD(1968) is revolutionary and we tell you all the good stuff as well as the legendary Tom Savini remake of 1990, that we consider o...
