Hey You Guys

Send us Fan Mail In the first part of our Nic Cage season of podcasts, Liam and Rob look back at 1996's, The Rock. Is it the best Michael Bay movie? Where does it rank on the list of 90s action movies? Oh, and is Sean Connery 'secretly' playing James Bond? We discuss via the below links. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 112 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1991's, Hook. A movie beloved by many, hated by critics, openly disliked by its director, but one that still did great business at the box office. So, more than 30 years later, is Hook an underrated classic or a low point for Steven Spielberg? Perhaps it's a bit of both. Find out as...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 111 of the Hey You Guys podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1995's, Empire Records. A movie that bombed upon release, but one that has since garnered a solid cult following, it remains as hard to pin down as ever. Fun but pointless, poignant but without focus, enjoyable but, well, occasionally quite rubbish, yeah, Empire Records is a strange old...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 110 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1983's, Return of the Jedi. Back on the big screen in celebration of its 40th anniversary, does this decidedly mixed bag of a Star Wars movie still stand the test of time for those that grew up loving Star Wars? What about for somebody who doesn't give a monkeys about Star Wars? Well, let's just say that...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 109 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1993's, True Romance. One of the best casts ever assembled? Cinema's most likeable sex worker? How about best couple? Oh, and then there is that unforgettable score. So, just how good is True Romance? Find out via the links below. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 108 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob (and special guest, Dave) look back at one of the most important comic book movies ever made. Rarely given the recognition it deserves, it was released 20 years before Black Panther and was the movie that ultimately paved the way for X-Men and Spiderman. Home to one of the coolest opening sequences in cinema history (no, really), th...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 107 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1988's, Bloodsport. Supposedly based on a "True Story" (I mean, it's definitely not), it still remains a super fun tournament movie and arguably JCVD's most enjoyable movie. Chong Li or Tong Po? Mortal Kombat or Virtua Fighter? Stan Bush or, uhhhh, Stan Bush? We discu...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 106 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest and most erotic movies of the 80s. 1985's Lifeforce has low budget curio written all over it, but the reality is that the Canon Group gave the director of Poltergeist $25 million (in 1985!) to make a movie about sexy vampires for outer space.  The results are even we...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 105 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1986's creature feature, Critters. Is it a second rate Gremlins rip off, or a wonderful 50s B-movie throwback? Is it a legit horror, or is it playing exclusively for laughs. Most importantly though, does it still hold up or are we better off leaving the Krites in the past. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 104 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved martial arts movies of the 80s, a movie that, alongside Bloodsport, put Jean-Claude Van Damme on the map and established his as heir apparent to the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Does it hold up though? Is Tong Po as great a villain as we remember? Is the dance scene stil...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 103 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved, and downright strangest movies of the 80s. Jim Henson's, Labyrinth might be one of the most visually imaginative movies of the decade, but make no mistake, it's also one of the oddest. Does the movie still hold up? Is David Bowie's codpiece still mega distracting? Listen in and fi...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 102 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of Sly's more bizarre movies of the 80s. Ultra violent without the blood, a cult without an aim and a pizza....with a pair of scissors? Yeah, Cobra has plenty of issues, but then it also has Sly looking better than ever and, despite its myriad of issues, it undoubtedly remains oddly watchable. Love it or hate i...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 101 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of John Hughes' strangest movies. It put Kelly LeBrock on the map and is remembered fondly by many, but is it really any good? Was it ever any good? We take a look back at this 1985 cult classic to find out. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 100 of the Hey You guys podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what was at the time, the biggest movie of all time (well, not if adjusted for inflation, but hey ho). James Cameron's half romance, half disaster movie epic might be rather divisive (just ask Rob), but few films have ever brought a more eclectic demographic of moviegoers to the cinema b...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 99 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved blockbusters of the 90s. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves might well be a decidedly flawed movie, but it remains one that is arguably all the better for its idiosyncrasies - whether it be Costner's LA accent, Christian Slater's hair or the fact that, despite being quite brilliant, Alan Rick...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 98 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1989's, Back to the Future Part II. We all remember the Nike Mag trainers, the hoverboard, Jaws 19 and the self-drying jacket, but do we remember the clumsy plotting, the goofy sense of humour or the oppressively unpleasant second act? Well, needless to say, this beloved follow up to one of the greatest movies of al...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 97 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1990's, Dick Tracy. We thought this movie bombed both commercially and critically, that it came and went without leaving much of a mark. Well, we were very wrong. It might not have emulated the success of 1989's, Batman, a movie it was so keen to emulate, but this is a movie that still made plenty of money and...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the Hey You Guys Podcast , Liam and Rob look back at what many consider to be something of an underappreciated 90s classic. 1992's, Stay Tuned might not have set the box office alight, but an imaginative premise and an unsurprisingly fantastic turn by John Ritter helped to assure its cult status. Does it still hold up 30 years later? Click the links below to find...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 95 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1993's, Tombstone. As much of a classic western as it is a revisionist one, troubles behind the scenes ensured that the final movie is a touch tonally inconsistent, but one of the best casts of 90s  cinema ensures that it remains as immensely watchable as ever....and then there is Val Kilmer. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 94 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a movie that was arguably released 10 years too early. 1999's, Galaxy Quest is one of the most beloved comedies of the 90s, but does it still hold up in this world of toxic fanbases and mainstream geek culture? 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 93 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most accurate comic book adaptations of all time. Joe Johnston's, The Rocketeer might have bombed back in 1991, but thanks to its great cast and fantastic Art Deco inspired visuals, it is a movie that has garnered a passionate cult following in the years since its initial release. Is it a movie worth revi...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 92 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 2015's, love letter to the 80s, Turbo Kid. Can it celebrate cinema of the 80s without falling in to the trap of becoming too self-aware? Can it overcome its limited budget to deliver a suitable level of spectacle? Is the gnome stick the greatest melee weapons of all time? Oh, and is Liam a little bit in love...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 91 is here, and in the third part of our Christmas season of podcasts, Rob and Liam look back at National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Is it a Christmas classic? is it one of the best Christmas films ever made? Is Clark Griswald a typical suburban father who just wants the perfect Christmas or is he a psychopath waiting for that one moment to push him over the edge. ...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 90 is here, and in the second part of our Christmas season of podcasts, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time and arguably the finest cinematic adaptation of Charles Dickens', A Christmas Carol. I mean, everyone loves, The Muppet Christmas Carol, right?.....Right, Rob??

Send us Fan Mail Episode 89 is here, and in the first part of our Christmas season of podcasts, Liam and Rob will be looking back at 2005's, little watched, Santa's Slay. Starring Bill Goldberg as a demonic Santa and presented by Brett Ratner (admittedly less of a selling point in 2022), this violent take on the festive season is, well, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Still, despite the...
