Episodes

FREEKY FRIDAY 58: “Escape from New York”(1981) & “Escape from LA”(1996) 20.07.2023

One for the ages!! We cover a favourite pair of Carpenter gems and discuss all the usual FREEKY goodness. If you haven’t seen EFNY, please….please watch it. You’ll thank us later we promise.

RAD 54: “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”(2008) 14.07.2023

Pretty much wrapping up our Indiana Jones adventure through the series, we hit this entry with an open mind and offer all the best qualities for what we reckon is a good film. Is it crap? No, but it certainly has a level of cringe that we cover, and we also offer our alternative approach to how this movie could’ve excelled. Hey! It’s Indy and he’s awesome at least!

FREEKY FRIDAY 57: “Warlock”(1989) 13.07.2023

With the recent tragic passing of legendary actor Julian Sands, we felt it only fitting to discuss a movie that for us, started a deep love for this incredible talent. His performance as the evil Warlock is legendary and flawless. A movie with a superb cast and criminally underrated. A true Horror classic from the 80’s.

RAD 53: “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”(1989)/animated films and franchise magic. 07.07.2023

Want to see the perfect adventure film? Look no further radmeisters! This is quite confidently, the best Hollywood adventure film and the best(our favourite at least) in the Indy series. We talk in depth about what makes this film so memorable and discuss a bit about franchises and the possibilities of bringing amazing scripts to life through animated film. It’s just a really rad episode!

FREEKY FRIDAY 56: “An American Werewolf in London”(1981) 06.07.2023

This episode will have you HOWLING!!! Or at least it did for us, as we discuss one of the best werewolf films ever and all the cool bits. We mention the…sequel, but also Jake discusses the “unofficial” sequel that sounds RAD ASF!!!

RAD 52: “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”(1984) 01.07.2023

This weeks a wild one as we get into that debate again about movie gossip and the dreaded inter webs spoiling the fun(as usual like that annoying twat in the cinema that spoils the scene), before continuing our adventures through the Indiana Jones series and a fantastic(whilst somewhat dark)sequel.

FREEKY FRIDAY 56: “Night of the Creeps”(1986) 29.06.2023

There are many B-Grade Horror gems from the 80s that many miss, and we’re here this week to tell you about 1 in particular that needs to be watched and loved. Because…TOM ATKINS!!!

RAD 51: “Raiders of the Lost Ark”(1981) & “The Flash” movie & the art of franchises 23.06.2023

In this weeks adventurous dose of RADNESS, we explore the debate of the recently released film “The Flash” and studio politics, whilst adding our two cents on how to make a winning series. Quite simple actually! And then we head back to 1981, whack on the fedora and trek from the jungles to the desert, as we deep dive into one of the greatest movie franchises ever. Starting with “Raiders of the Lo...

FREEKY FRIDAY 55: “Event Horizon” (1997) 22.06.2023

This week is a real treat as we discuss a movie that will surprise and horrify you upon first viewing. A nod to some truly great films of the genre, the 97’ gem that is “Event Horizon” takes the haunted experience to new heights and beyond. We think you’ll dig this one.

RAD 50: “The Punisher” part 2 16.06.2023

50 EPISODES OF RADNESS!!! Thanks so much for the support! We continue our celebration of all things The Punisher as we discuss Jake’s vibe on issue 12 and the death of The Punisher(?),before covering some memorable comics highlights, the toys, trading cards, the phenomenal PS2 masterpiece game and of course the movies and tv show. I also mention a spoiler free lowdown on the freshly released movie...

FREEKY FRIDAY 54: “The Fly”(1986) 15.06.2023

Movie remakes, when done right, are an exceptionally awesome work of art. The 86’ Horror masterpiece “The Fly”(starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis)is one of the modern genre classics that we are so pumped to discuss. This is a good one!

RAD 49: “The Punisher” pt 1: The comics and Death of The Punisher? 09.06.2023

A fun and engaging conversation about our history with The Punisher and the comics. This is part 1 of a series we plan to do on one of our favourite comic book characters. We discuss the recent final issue that’s making waves as we see the “Death of the Punisher”. Spoiler alert! We do discuss what happens. We also discuss Mark Miller’s triumphant “Nemesis Reloaded” finale and preview the massive M...

FREEKY FRIDAY 53: “The Fog”(1980)….and that crap remake (2005) 08.06.2023

A perfect ghost story neatly wrapped into 90ish minutes of ghoulish, eerie, supernatural terror. That’s the magical effect John Carpenter once again delivers in his 1980 classic “The Fog”. This is a perfect example of less is more without excessive gore, but more emphasis on eerie tones that make this a timeless movie for any true horror fan. We sadly touch on the 2005 remake also and warn why you...

RAD 48: “Scarface”(1983) 02.06.2023

How do you even begin to describe an episode that discusses ‘The Perfect Film?’ Easy! You don’t. We just want to say that this episode is super mega rad and discussions of the exciting and excellent new “Green Lantern” comic, as well as SCARFACE!!! The best movie you’ve never seen!!! And if you have, then you are one rad Mofo. If you haven’t, that’ll change after this we promise. Yes, this movie i...

FREEKY FRIDAY 52: “The Howling”(1981) 01.06.2023

We’re so pumped for this episode!!! Quite possibly one of, if not the best werewolf movie ever!!! Yep! I said it. We have a blast discussing the movie featuring some of the best SFX that’s been copied and emulated since. We also chat the new “Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider” comic from Marvel and theorise how cool a screen version would roll amongst all the usual FREEKY awesome fun.

FREEKY FRIDAY 51: “Freddy Vs Jason”(2003) 25.05.2023

The bloody journey that started in Crystal Lake and tip toed through Elm Street has finally reached its end here in bloodthirsty showdown. The clash of the titans that is “FREDDY VS JASON”(2003). We chat some of the political mess behind the film and the sequel that never was, but focus on the fun of this film and it’s glorious soundtrack that is RAD ASF!!! Cheers for joining us on this ride, and...

RAD 47: “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace”(1987) 19.05.2023

An epic end to an epic journey of the Christopher Reeve “Superman”film series, we discuss in depth the heart and soul Reeves gives to this final performance as the beloved Man of Steel, as well as bringing many of the original cast back for one last dance. Whilst sadly this film is well documented for its troubles behind the scenes, we still got a great film with a powerful and inspiring message d...

FREEKY FRIDAY 50: “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare”(1994) 18.05.2023

We’ve made it to the big 50!!! And what an episode we have for you! Not only do we discuss the final(for now)Elm Street film in the series, and no we shall not credit that remake we don’t dare mention, but we also chat to an absolute legend in the film industry. Special FX GOD, Chad Atkinson( Ginger Snaps, Deep Blue Sea, The X-Files, Planet Terror etc), to get a little expert insight on this film...

RAD 46: “Superman 3”(1983) 12.05.2023

A fun episode and a fun third film in an excellent series. Slapstick and a movie marred in weirdness, the Man of Steel holds his own with a stellar performance from legendary comedian Richard Prior to make this a memorable and fun third Superman film.

FREEKY FRIDAY 49: “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare”(1991….is it the final? We think not!) 11.05.2023

Well, here we are at what should be a triumphant finale to the franchise, but sadly falls a little short in our opinion as we hit the 6th instalment in the Elm Street series with a movie that lacks the punch and especially the gore of previous entries. Whilst a great movie still, if this was to have been the finale, we’re glad it wasn’t. Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp making cameos add a little spar...

RAD 45: “Superman 2”(1980) 06.05.2023

An absolutely epic episode for an epic film, where we give you all the best of the original theatrical version as well as the Donner cut. Both possess excellent qualities that we dive deeply into as well as all the usual fun we have in this RAD podcast. Enjoy!

FREEKY FRIDAY 48: “A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child”(1989) 04.05.2023

We delve deep into a Mark Miller appreciation chat(if you haven’t read his comics….Wanted, Kick Ass, Jupiter’s Legacy…get the idea?), and then get into the 5th instalment in the Elm Street series…. “ITS A BOY!!!!!” A weirdly good movie packed with insanely cool SFX, and an insightful peek into the Krueger mythology. As always we find the human elements of these films and explore the characters and...

RAD 44: “Superman the Movie”(1978) 28.04.2023

This episode kicks off our journey into one of the most iconic and important superheroes of our generation and a movie that made us believe, that a man can fly. There is so much about this movie that emotionally charged the soul and lifts the spirits to places few movies to this day can accomplish. Enjoy.

FREEKY FRIDAY 47: “Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master”(1988) 27.04.2023

This was a big year for many reasons. The toys and comics were certainly mind blowing, music, movies, Expo 88! It was all happening, but this was the year NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET unleashed what we consider to be possibly the best film in the series. Freddy Krueger hits his peak and delivers the goods. The movie is a home run and we will tell you why. Be sure to give this episode a 5 star rating an...

RAD 43: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”(1986) 21.04.2023

A fun but strange movie on a social level, pending how you look at it. We explore the face value of this 80s favourite while diving into the depth of middle class privilege and a guy named Ferris… This is an odd episode for us but we have fun and also dive into some comic book nostalgia as always. Share this episode and channel, give us that 5 star rating cause it truly helps, and be sure to subsc...
