Forever Movie Boys

Join the duo in a disjointed round up of the past 4 Rambo movies as they try and walk their way through what the hell happened with Rambo 5: Last Blood. We talk the price of YouTube Rambo rentals, What it would be like if Panos Cosmatos directed R5 and what bloody Blake Lively movie is Nick talking about?!  Join us next week as we find out - what are the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

This Week ChaBoi Tobes and the still unnamed Nicholas attempt to talk cool like Caan as they discuss there admiration for Michael Mann's Thief. With long winded detours into the Home Alone-verse and is Ace Ventura Pet Detective really terrible? Enjoy and return next week for Rambo: Last Blood!

After much dilly-dallying, thumb-twirling and window watching the day has finally arrived! Our hosts don their thinking caps and take a stab (sorry) at dressing down Quentin Tarantino's 9th film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.  The boys talk about the movie, Manson, QT himself, his penchant for podiatry and the effort required in keeping things cool. Enjoy!

The saga comes to a close. Our brave hosts conclude their deliberately convoluted foray into the unfiltered id of Nicolas Winding Refn by watching his Amazon series Too Old To Die Young out of order.  And after panning for that Refn gold for about 15 hrs; fate finally saw fit to reward our boys with an episode really worth remembering.... next up Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Welcome to a very special Forever Movie Boys where, in the spirit of family, our hosts invite their Uso's Jamison and Anand on to discuss the much anticipated, ultimately disappointing Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. Full disclosure, our mic quality's been better, but the company hasn't so there's the trade-off!  next episode we complete the Refn challenge. 

Sorry FMBuffs, our hosts got their wires crossed and muddled up their release dates for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. As penance for their gaff, the boys decided to turn the dial back and do some early Tarantino with Tony Scott's True Romance. This being an episode via correspondence meant some technical issues that resulted in the episode wrapping up earlier than desired, but regardless, Maciej...

Two Animal-themed releases in the same week had the boys spoilt for choice, so the FMB decided to throw a couple of dollars at the movie they felt needed it more (sorry anyone expecting a Lion King ep, not this year).  And boy when it comes to Alexandre Aja's "Crawl" our hosts landed themselves a pleasant surprise. The boys clearly had a blast and it shows as they breeze through an episode as lean...

Join the FMB as they continue their meandering, randomised quest through the episodes of Nicolas Winding Refn's Amazon series Too Old To Die Young.  As they crawl over the halfway mark of the series and the balance shifts to providing more answers than questions, the boys find that maybe they're starting to enjoy themselves a little... next episode the FMB watch Crawl.

Join the FMB this week as they take a break from the Refn challenge to see Phase 4 of the Marvel Universe out with Jon Watts' second Spider-Man film: "Far From Home".  Maybe it's cause Spidey's still a kid, but our hosts pull their punches a little this time around try to see the bright side of things for once; an attempt aided by strong performances from leads Holland, Gyllenhaal and Zendaya.  ne...

Follow the FMB into the mind of Nicolas Winding Refn (and Ed Brubaker) as they deliberately obfuscate the experience of viewing Amazon's Too Old To Die Young, by watching it out of order... possibly in the pursuit of some kind of artistic apotheosis.  Takeoff is glacial and the boys suffer some whiplash after opening with Volume 8 and then having to walk themselves back to episodes 1 and 2, but th...

Our hosts announce their upcoming episode series on Nicolas Winding Refn's groundbreaking televisual masterwork Too Old To Die Young. Encouraged by NWR's chutzpah, the boys have decided on a slightly more unique approach to ingesting the show...

So it's been a week since the Sydney Film Fest, so Tobias and Maciej kick their feet up and reminisce over Discord about their experiences during the second week of programming.  Brief aside's are given to The Dead Don't Die and vintage screening The Golem, but the lion's share of the conversation goes to Bong Joon Ho's Palme D'Or winner Parasite and Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir.  Next episode our b...

Join our hosts this episode as they pick over the meagre handful of films they managed to see in the first week of the 2019 Sydney Film Festival. Lip service is paid to the documentary Anthropocene and Clare Denis' High Life, but the meat goes to the films that both hosts manages to attend and those were Jennifer Kent's sophomore effort "The Nightingale" and Ben Wheatley's surprising little entry...

This episode, the FMB reluctantly cover the sequel to Legendary's Godzilla 2014 at special guest, Saleem's insistence.  They boys power through this episode with the energy of kids in detention, but their guest makes the proceedings considerably lighter and the hosts have fun with discussion about previous iterations of Godzilla himself and wild speculation on the what the inevitable sequel may ha...

Hey hey FMBuffs; this week our hosts sit down and sift through Disney's new Aladdin remake desperately hoping to find slivers of Director Guy Ritchie's trademark style. In that regard it's slim pickings, but the boys pad the episode by comparing the remake to the original, musing on the Disney remake craze in general and briefly touching on the idea of a Jeremy Piven Genie.  next episode we have G...

Join our hosts this week as they muse over the third instalment in Chad Stahelski's John Wick series. As usual when discussing movie franchises, the boys open it up to talk about the series as a whole and a healthy amount of attention is paid to parts 1 and 2. Conversational tangents include mangled impressions of Lance Reddick, mangled non-binary pronouns and the video game Quantum Break.  *apolo...

This is it FMBuffs, after approximately 10 hours, our hosts: Tobias, Maciej, and their guests: Nick and Mathew, have reached the end of their marathon James Bond series with acting-007 Daniel Craig. The boys bring it home with some spirited discourse about Craig's output and the survivability of Bond as a character, but really it seems like they've just been waiting to take a huge dump on Spectre....

Almost there folks; after a small break, the FMB and guests, Nick and Mackie, return to the James Bond series with an episode dedicated to Pierce Brosnan's time in the chair.  The boys run the gamut of Pierce's career as 007, from Goldeneye to Die Another Day, allowing them to fine-tune their Brosnan impressions to perfection. As always, the boys underscore the discussion with a tense bout of 007...

We interrupt our still-running Bond series to jump in on a admittedly landmark moment in cinematic history.  The Marvel Cinematic universe reaches it's epic conclusion and the Forever Movie Boys are here to help you process your thoughts on the film. Spoilers abound as the boys deconstruct this film to an almost atomic level in an admittedly bittersweet discussion essentially about the trade-off b...

The FMB and guests, Nick and Mathew continue on their quest to unpack every Bond film ever made. In this episode, the boys find themselves covering the transition from Roger Moore's preternatural tenure as 007 to Timothy Dalton's cynical take on the debonair super-spy. And as usual they punctuate their musings with some good-old fashioned Bond trivia. next week we take a break from Bond to close o...

Dry those martini's, friends! In part 2 of our multi-part examination of the James Bond series, we take a look at the turbulent attempts made post-Connery to have the franchise survive the 1970's. From Lazenby to early Moore, our hosts, along with guests Nick and Mathew continue the discussion while continuing to rack up points in James Bond Trivia.  Next episode, Roger Moore's epoch comes to a cl...

Welcome to the first in a multi-episode breakdown of all things James Bond featuring your favourite hosts, the FMB and their two esteemed guests: Nick Virgona and Matthew Mackie! They cover the Sean Connery years this episode, but also set the stage for general 007 talk, ranging from the rampant misogyny to the correct implementation of the Bond Car. Our hosts also pit their Bond knowledge against...

This week, Maciej strong-arms Tobias into finally watching the David Mamet/James Foley classic Glengarry Glen Ross. Our hosts start off strong, front-loading the episode with dense Glengarry talk, but derail the conversation halfway. The boys instead theorise about the interior decoration of Brian DePalma's bedroom and Tobias gets his intense hatred for Neil Blomkamp off his chest.  Next week we w...

We're just over a month away from Avengers: Endgame's release and Marvel have still found the time and energy to stick a funnel in our gullets and give us a lil' apertif in the form of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's Captain Marvel.  Our hosts are feeling the superhero fatigue a little and the whole thing feels a little familiar, but they try to give the film it's due and Tobias manages to somehow inv...

After the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, our two hosts settle back into their usual rhythm with some low-hanging fruit in the form of Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword.  They're enthusiasm for this film is palpable, but perhaps it's just a contact high from this clearly amphetamine-fuelled abomination. Colin Firth gets a mention for some reason and the boys offer a tantalising glimp...
