Dissect the Direct

We drill into this 90s Arnie classic to complete the Verhoevan sci-fi trilogy for our podcast collection.

Heroes. Giants. Villains. We put a quotable comedy adventure on the slab for our 26th episode.

We put this silly sci-fi comedy under the scalpel in our 25th episode.

A severed head, a dead cat and a useless security guard. We dissect the Lovecraftian video nasty that drew snorts of derision before it commissioned two sequels and its own Broadway musical.

Swords, sorcery and silliness. The Go-Go brother of Cannon flew too close to the Mattel sun with waxy wings in this critical and commercial failure that sank their company in the late 1980s.

We do our part to reclaim this cinematic artefact from the clutches of Neo-Nazis and wide eyed conspiracy nuts in our autopsy of this low budget science fiction horror.

Disney and Warner Bros go under the scalpel in our trip down memory lane to Toon Town.

We meant to get this out before Xmas but were busy with other projects. We pick apart the Christmas movie that became the template for most of the action films between 1989 and 1996.

Anarchic Christmas chaos is under the scalpel in this episode. It's always after midnight somewhere.

We take a scalpel to one of Tom Hank's earlier films when he was still best known as a comedy actor. The film deals with issues of paranoia, xenophobia and mundanity in suburbia. Something... Daily Mail... something... Reform UK. Write your own fucking satire.

Join us for our 17th pod where we take a scalpel to the story of a nerd's Pyrrhic attempt to get laid. This episode marks the one year anniversary of our project.

Our 16th episode picks through the film that launched a beloved franchise that thrives 40 years later. A paean to the paranormal and New York city, Ghostbusters was a childhood favourite for the both of us. Get involved for a reminisce and a giggle.

Fascists, bugs and wobbly bits. We dissected Verhoeven's satirical scifi blockbuster in the 15th edition of our podcast. We did our part now you do yours...

Our 14th podcast takes you to a re-imagining of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World which takes place in a futuristic Los Angeles. It's also an action flick with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. We've covered our bases.

Festival season is now over so we jump back into the pod for our 13th episode with the nostalgia inducing original TMNT film. It's weird and hasn't aged well but it's still a lot of fun. Sometimes the jokes write themselves...

The final film of the original Evil Dead trilogy goes under the scalpel and we take a few swings at Braveheart too in the intro. Same timeline, innit.

We cut open a Pre-Nolan Batman film for your geeky pleasure. Not suitable for little ears though. Soz.

We reconvene after a hurried plot reassessment to complete our dissection of one of the most iconic horror movies ever made.

We put Fred Kruger and Johnny Depp's debut film on the slab for our 10th episode.

We conclude the dissection of the film that made Nick Cage an action star. Hard to believe he won an Oscar just one year before.

Often described as Sean Connery's last role as James Bond we pick apart another 90s action film starring Nick Cage.

Fear, flesh wounds and Fanta!

We chat about Deadites, Doom and death in this first part of this comedy horror classic.

We wrap up the final part of the best face swapping based film ever made with a bit of Q&A from some of our listeners and a couple of little digs at the LAPD.

More Olympic level over-acting by Cage and Travolta in the second act of this daft pot boiler.
