Double Impact

RE-RELEASE BABY! We. Are. Finally. Doing. PREDATOR. And just to make this even more of an epic episode, we have very special guest, Michael Schiavello, AKA The Voice, AKA the most-watched-sports broadcaster in the world. We talk all of our usual segments, but we can't have Michael on the show without asking all of our burning questions about JCVD, Steven Seagal and Frank Dux - and holy moly does h...

FESTIVE RE-RELEASE - We are going full-festive this week, with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, with special guest Hayden James. Sure he's an Aussie music superstar, but does he have movie chat? Turns out yes! We cover it all, from the rotating roster of the Griswold kids, to the grumpy old men Chevy and Randy have turned into - but most importantly, we go deep to truly understand how this t...

148 - Jingle All The Way: It's Arnie, and it's Christmas. Bish, bash, bosh - you got yourself a podcast episode. This is a jam-packed episode. Of course we talk about Arnold, his cookies, and how nobody told nobody to eat them etc, but we also breakdown the trackless of the classic 1993 compilation CD Hit Machine 2, for some reason. This and more! So have a listen and leave a review, it's the fest...

147 - We are well and truly in the festive season now, folks! For our first festive film of the year, we are hitting a tale as old as time - well, a tale as old as a 1843 novella with an 88 twist - with SCROOGED! I know we say this every week but we go DEEEEP this week guys - covering such important questions as, what would the 2020's twist on the classic tale look like? What is the relationship b...

146 - We don't get to this the 70's very often, so when we do, you know it's a special one. So get in your escape pods and put on your ear huggers because we are breaking down ALIEN!

145 - We have been wanting to do this one for a while - the only thing holding us back, was that there is no more Gremlins after this... for now at least. It's the sequel that dials the absurdity up to 11 and gets more Meta than Zuckerberg - but does it hold up today, or is it best left in the past? Tune in and find out! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on Instagram J...

144 - IT'S HEAT WEEK BABY! Pacino, De Niro, Kilmer, Sizemore, Judd, Trejo, but most importantly, FICHTNER! This is a big movie, so we take our time breaking this bad boy down. The pod is the juice guys, the pod is the juice! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on Instagram Join our Friends of the Show Facebook Group Follow us on TikTok

143 - What if the artist, was the hero? Enter: El Mariachi. This week we deep dive into the 1995 classic Desperado. Banderas, Hayek, Buscemi, Trejo, Cheech, Tarantino - THIS. MOVIE. HAS. IT. ALL. But does it hold up today? Tune in and find out See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on Instagram Join our Friends of the Show Facebook Group Follow us on TikTok

142 - After a brief detour due to Halloween, we return to our regularly scheduled programming, with 1997's DOUBLE TEAM. It's the film the world was asking for, "When will JCVD be able to team up with 2x Defensive Player of the Year, Dennis Rodman?", The world exclaimed, "WHEN!?". The answer was "now", or at least it was then. Ironically, the answer now, is "then&...

141 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN (week). This week we are diving into Halloween 2 - and by that we of course mean the first Halloween 2. Not Halloween 2 from 2009 or Halloween (2) from 2018. We are talking about the first of the three 2's. Halloween 2-1. There aren't many franchises where we get to say that, and a lot of this episode is about digging into exactly why that is, and navigating the hot mess that...

140 - So... usually every 10th episode is a JCVD joint, but it's spooky season so we've had to pivot. JCVD will be back soon! Instead, this week it's a slasher with a massive legacy - Friday the 13th - but is it any goooooood? We dive deep on this one. Tristan watched almost every movie in the franchise, so we end up talking about the series as a whole, it's legacy, and the inevitable comparison t...

139 - Welcome to week TWO of our Spooky-Time Spectacular miniseries, with the iconic Addams Family. This thing has been in a constantly evolving in pop culture since it first appeared in The New Yorker back in 1938 - and this iteration is no different! Join us as we poke around and break this thing down. So much to talk about. Too much to list here. So just trust us and listen! See omnystudio.com/...

138 - Welcome to the very first episode of our Spooky-Time Spectacular halloween mini-series. We start things off with a different kind of spooky with this one. Keanu tries an accent, Pacino plays the devil. Charlize Theron steals the god damn show. What else do you need? So join us as we unpack one of the more bizarre pop-cultural artefacts of 1997 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informat...

137 - Ok first things first, Greg had mic issues for the first 10 mins of this episode - so hang in there, there audio quality gets much better 10 mins in! Second, we have a VERY special guest this week - nostalgic film instagram lord, and Howard the Duck mega-fan, Dan Jones, who you likely know as the man behind @movieverse on instagram. Howard the Duck is the kind of movie you either love or hat...

136 - It's the final episode of our "Popping Tristan's Cherry" miniseries, and what better way to cap it off than a trip down old South Beach way, to check out the Birdcage? This movie was wasted on our foolish adolescent minds when it came out in the 90s, but has become a favourite in Greg's household since. Tristan on the other hand... Well he hasn't seen it obviously. Hey this thing w...

135 - Big movie week, guys. Danny Boyle, Ewan McGregor, Scotland, EMOTIONAL TRAUMA - it's Trainspotting! This is a pretty big one for a lot of us who reach teens by the mid-90s. Not Tristan though, he had never seen it before. Shame on Tristan. As you'd expect we go deeeeeep, and when it's a movie like this, it can get a little dark - so don't worry, we even it out with talk of Crochet and Steve I...

134 - Ok, this is 1992's Gladiator. With Cuba Gooding Jr, not Russell Crowe. Now that that's out the way - This is the first episode in the 'Popping Tristan's Cherry' miniseries where we are diving into movies Tristan had never seen before this week. If you are one of the many, many, many people that never saw this film, it's currently streaming on Netflix. If you are one of the existing fans of t...

132 - This. Movie. Is. Iconic. But we hadn't watched it in about 20 years, so the pressure was on! To add even more pressure, we've also got one of the stars from this very movie to help us break it all down - actor, magician, and TikTok extraordinaire, Adam Wylie. Adam of course gives us allllll the inside knowledge and behind the scenes scoops which make this episode, one that simply cannot be m...

129 - We are back in peak 80s teen aesthetic this week with 1988's License to Drive. But even more importantly, we have Jerah Milligan with us on the pod to help us break down this bad boy. From the Coreys, to... many things... truth is, we go off on a few tangents on this one, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. You can find more Jerah on his podcast Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] See omnystudi...

128 - Yes, we may have under-indexed on John Candy films to-date. But we are rectifying this as of now with 1989's Uncle Buck. For most people, it was either this or Home Alone that introduced them to Macauley Culkin, and according to his family, this Candy performance is the closest to the real life huggable human - so does this already make this 80s icon immortal? Tune in and find out See omnyst...

127 - Just in time (read: 2 weeks late) for Stallone's 75th birthday, we are hitting Cliffhanger. This is an oft-requested lat pack classic that has been on the list for a while - so here it is! It's another lockdown pod. We might be getting a little loopy. Anyway, hope you enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

126 - from another week in lockdown, we bring you another lock down pod. We hope all our friends of the show impacted by the Delta strain are hanging in there!
