Hey You Guys

Send us Fan Mail Episode 272 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Tobe Hooper's B-movie love letter to the 1953 original, 1986's, Invaders from Mars. One of many 50s inspired B-movies from the 80s, does Tobe Hooper's, Invaders belong in the same conversation as 1988's, The Blob, or does it fail to recapture the magic of the 1950s origina...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 271 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a movie Rob assumed he would hate....turns out, he was wrong. Unsurprisingly, Clint Eastwood's Oscar winning deconstruction of the Western genre is still pretty good. How good though? Has it stood the test of time? Are the performances as magnetic as they were in 1992? Listen in via your...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 270 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, we look back at Joe Dante's Werewolf classic, 1981's, The Howling. In the running for best werewolf movie of all time? Does its famed transformation sequence match the more celebrated American Werewolf in London? More importantly, how does it hold up 45 years after its initial release? Find out and listen in...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 269 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, we take a look back at the best movie of the 21st century that nobody talks about anymore. From its stellar cast and truly breathtaking cinematography to its hauntingly beautiful score and wonderful direction, Sam Mendes', prohibition era gangster flick, Road to Perdition is probably better than you remember. Lis...

Send us Fan Mail The latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what is objectively one of the worst Stephen King adaptations, 1986's, Maximum Overdrive. Stephen King's one and only step into the director's chair is, by his own admission, something of a cocaine-fuelled disaster....and it shows. Make no mistake, Maximum Overdrive is not a good movie...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 267 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the best 80s movie that you've probably never heard of. Walter Hill's, 1987 neo-western, might have its faults, but it also has one of the greatest casts of the decade, is wonderfully shot, and above all else, is home to a genuinely elite Nick Nolte performance. Did the movie deserv...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 266 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob finally look back at, whisper it, the best of the Back to the Future sequels, 1990's, Back to the Future Part III. It might lack the iconic moments of Part II, but thanks to its more structured narrative and emphasis on character, Part III is probably a better movie than you remember. Is it worth rev...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 265 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at cult British horror classic, 2002's, Dog Soldiers. Neil Marshall's best movie? The second best werewolf movie (after American Werewolf in London, of course)? A perfect amalgamation of Predator, Alien and Assault on Precinct 13? Above all else, how has it aged? Listen in via y...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 264 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at the Wachowski's divisive take on Tatsuo Yoshida's iconic 60s manga, 2008's, Speed Racer. Inventive avant-garde film making or an expensive eyesore? A bit of both perhaps? Whatever the case, one thing is for sure - 18 years after its original release, and there is still n...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 263 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest 'kids' movies of the 80s. A bizarre curio to be left in the past or a unique slice of 80s cinema that deserves to be revisited? Well, the answer to that will largely depend on your tolerance for Howie Mandel and whether you think Fred Savage was a particularly l...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 262 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the peak of Stallone's powers, 1985's, Rambo First Blood part II. Is it the best Rambo movie? Is this as famous as Stallone would ever become ? Was Co actually in to Rambo, or was she just looking for a green card? Listen in a find out via your podcast platform of choice. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 261 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, things get pretty extreme with 1986 skateboarding cult classic, Thrashin'. With a surprisingly strong cast, and an even stronger aesthetic, can its 80s charm and cultural nostalgia overcome its dodgy dialogue and overly busy screenplay? Listen in via your podcast platform of choice to find out. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 260 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at sci-fi cult classic, 1980's, Flash Gordon. As surprisingly dark as it is colourful, as camp as it is oddly sincere, and as horny as it is family friendly, Mike Hodges and Dino de Laurentiis' take on the 30s serial source material is nothing if not utterly eclectic. Does it hold up t...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 259 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most influential movies that most people have never seen.....or heard of? It's hard to escape the similarities between Alex Proyas', Dark City and the Matrix, but the surprising news is that, Dark City showed up a full year before The Matrix's monumental impact on bo...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 258 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, we look back at Top Gun in a car, 1990's, Days of Thunder. Is this another Scott / Cruise classic, or it all a tad too formulaic? Are there too many story strands? Is Nascar just too foreign a concept for those of us on this side of the Atlantic? Or, and stick with me here - does none of that matter when the race...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 257 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, we look back at the bizarre world of Full Moon Features and their ambitious sci-fi action horror movie, 1991's, Dollman. Yeah, this one is pretty niche, but is it any good? Can Tim Thomerson's best Clint Eastwood impression make up for the lack of budget? Is the movie charmingly hockey or, well, just plain b...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 256 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob take a long overdue back at John Carpenter's, 1981 politically charged, sci-fi action movie, Escape from New York....well, I say action movie, but honestly, the action here is both limited, and for the most part, not all that great. That's just fine though, because when you have visuals like thi...

Send us Fan Mail The fourth and final part of our Box Office Bomb Season of podcasts is here, and this week, we look back at the criminally overlooked, and surprisingly insane, Hard Rain. This 1998 thriller / heist movie / neo western / action movie / Die Hard alike / Speed alike is, well, it's a lot of things. Tonally, it's all over the map, the script is wildly inconsistent, and many o...

Send us Fan Mail The third part of our Box Office Bomb season of podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at, what by some estimations, might be the biggest box office bomb of them all, 1999's, The 13th Warrior. A mess behind the scenes, this was a movie beset by huge delays, numerous reshoots and a major re-edit by producer, Michael Crichton that went a long way towards pushin...

Send us Fan Mail The second part in our box office flop season of podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the movie that 'supposedly' killed the pirate genre. That's up for debate, but what isn't is the fact that Cutthroat Island lost a huge amount of money, arguably did irreparable damage to both Gina Davis and Matthew Modine's careers, and ended up put...

Send us Fan Mail The first part of our Box Office Bomb Season of podcasts is here, and yes, I know, 1995's Waterworld wasn't actually a flop. in fact, it ended up making money. Yes, that is true, but for a time, it was seen by many as the quintessential movie flop, a film dragged down by its reputation, but one that, well, might be worth revisiting. Has time been kind to Kevin Costner&ap...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam and Rob look back at one of the stranger movies from the early 90s, Brad Pitt's cult curio, Cool World. With a massively uneven tone, some sketchy animation and an aesthetic that many will likely find crass, Cool World was never going to be the home run that Who Framed Roger Rabbit was four years earlier. Still, that Ralph Bakshi an...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 250 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, we look back at a movie that has definitely fallen off the radar in the last decade or so....I wonder why? Yes, the decision to have the very white and Jewish, Fisher Steven play the very brown and Indian, Ben, feels completely out of touch by moderns standards....but also, is Fisher Stevens actually kinda good as Ben...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 249 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Bryan Singers neo-noir masterpiece, 1995's, The Usual Suspects. Whether it be its much celebrated screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie, Bryan Singer's wonderful direction or its impeccable cast, there are many reasons to love The Usual Suspects.....but does it hold up in 2026? And ha...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 248 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at a film that scarred a generation of young movie goers. Sure, it's a kids movie based on one of Roald Dahl's most beloved books, but then it also has Anjelica Huston Huston giving one of the most memorable...and disturbing performances of her career as the Grand High Witch. Do...
