There Can Be Only Fun!

This week we’ll be travelling back to revisit  Tango and Cash , a couple of tough, wisecracking cops who kick ass, take names and rarely make any sense. This movie has everything: action, comedy (?), and great smelling mice. Plus, we’ll be getting two scoops of Vanilli when we discuss  Girl You Know It’s True by  Milli Vanilli ! Our co-pilot on this armoured super-truck into madness...

The boys of  Time Bandits  board a slow boat bound for the shores of New York City . There they face the danger of getting their heads punched off, or worse yet, having to sit through  Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan . While there, they drop in on Lou Reed as he teaches them the ins and outs of New York (and verbosity) with his aptly titled album,  New York ....

This week  Greg, Dan  and  Casey  travel back in time to experience  Jean-Claude Van Damme’s  eye-popping classic, Cyborg . Watch as JCVD kind of fights his way to Atlanta to briefly meet a cyborg who doesn’t need his help. It’s insane! Then we find complexity in Simply Saucer ‘s Cyborg Revisited , one of rock history’s most tragically under-appreciated bands and albu...

This week we travel back to bear witness to what is arguably  Wes Craven’s  least cohesive and silliest film, the crapfest that is  Shocker . Then we all geek out on the genius that is  Paul’s Boutique , the  Beastie Boys’  mind blowing follow up their debut rap album,  Licensed To Ill . Jeremy Schultz  of  Modern Superior’s  own  DrinkAlong P...

This week’s episode is a very special one as we dive deep to uncover the mysteries of underwater aliens in not one but three classic (alright, one classic, one underrated and one suck-fest) films from 1989:  The Abyss  , Leviathan  and  DeepStar Six . Then we head up to the surface to weather  Billy Joel’s Storm Front , an album most notable for it’s inclusion of the hit s...

Episode 30 finds the boys being excellent to each other while at the same time partying on with 1989’s  Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure . Then they painstakingly dissect the seminal album  Stone Roses (Self Titled)  and maybe geek out a little over the role production played in making the album a classic. They are joined this week by a real life Bill & Ted:  Bill and Ted...

Episode 29 finds us in Portugal for the 1989 release of Italian masterpiece/ Predator rip-off Robowar . Find out if the film’s “star” Reb Brown does one of his patented screams-while-shooting-an-assault-rifle (spoiler: he sure does). This movie is not to be missed. Then we try to pump some life into Aerosmith ‘s 1989 effort Pump by talking about how generic and terrible it is and how much Casey lo...

The dudes at  Time Bandits are going back in time alone this week, as a scheduling conflict has left them to check out the 1989 piece of horror-filmmaking garbage  Hellgate all by their lonesome selves. This movie is up there with  Troll II, Deadly Prey , and more in terms of how bad it is – so you want to hear this one. Then, they let their backbone slide and check out  M...

Time Bandits continues to trek through the year 1989, celebrating the 25th anniversary of both a film and album. This week, we set our sights on the blockbuster action sequel  Lethal Weapon 2 – one of the most successful movies of the year. Then, we go from bluesy guitar and saxophone to… neutered rock guitar, ballad bombast and saxophones with  Richard Marx ‘s slow-dance ready album&nbs...

Time Bandits returns for a whole new year of movies and albums – that’s right, from now on we’ll be travelling back to 1989  and celebrating the 25th anniversary of a movie and album. This week, on Episode 26 we are talking about the hotly contested big-budget sequel  Ghostbusters II,  and then we’ll try to figure out exactly what a Buffalo Stance is by listening to  Neneh Cher...

We’re guestless again this week, and we’re talking about one of the most bizarre films we’ve ever seen –  TRAXX!  Plus, we talk about some  Truth and Soul  – yes, we listened to some  Fishbone!  It’s our last episode of 1988 – so, see you next year, and see you in 1989! 

Once again the heroes of  Time Bandits  travel back to 1988 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ridiculous albums and movies. This week we get our primates all polished up for  George A. Romero ‘s confusing thriller  Monkey Shines . Then we try to figure out why  Morrissey  is so sad as we delve into his solo effort  Viva Hate . Will we viva love it or viva hate...

This week on  Time Bandits , we travel back in time yet again to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of a movie and an album. We’re looking at one of the most hilariously inept slasher films of all time: Hollowgate ! Then, we take a listen to King Diamond ‘s metal concept-album Them . Joining us this week, is Mark Pesci – Mark books some of the best shows going on in Toronto, and he also created t...

 Yes, Time Bandits is back and warming up this cold month of November with some heat!  Red Heat that is! The  Walter Hill  buddy-cop flick starring  Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belush ! Then, we get heavy with Metallica ‘s album  …And Justice for All – which Dan has never heard! Will he love it? Do Greg and Casey love it? Find out! Joining us this week is Anthony...

It’s that time of the year: Halloween! So obviously, we couldn’t resist watching 1988’s entry in the seminal horror series of the same name,  Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers ! Yes, a busty Michael Myers who can’t decide on what colour to dye his hair is on the loose again! And then we popped Helloween ‘s album  Keeper Of The Seven Keys: Part II  and got headbangin’.

 This week, we’re taking a look at one of the manliest flicks ever created – Mercenary Fighters starring Peter Fonda and Reb Brown ‘s guttural scream! Plus, we listened to the utter misfire that is Neil Young – here backed by the Bluenotes – playing horn tinged soul on This Note’s For You . Joining us to talk about these fine specimens is Matt Bahen , of  The Schomberg Fair – one of the...

 We’re back, and we’re guestless again! Yes, just the three hosts of Time Bandits have aimed their rifles at the 1988 piece of junk Deadly Prey . You might know this as one of the most infamous action films of all time, as it has made the rounds online in many bad movie circles. Yes, it’s that hilarious, and we really let loose on this film. It’s a must-see. Plus, we talked about My Bloody Va...
