Hey You Guys

Send us Fan Mail HUGTOBER continues with one of the most chaotic, gory, and aggressively mid‑2000s creature features ever made. In this episode, Rob and Liam dive into Feast — a film that doesn’t warm up, doesn’t slow down, and doesn’t pretend to be normal. It kicks off with explosive title cards, kills characters seconds after introducing them, and constantly flips horror tropes on their heads. F...

Send us Fan Mail HUGTOBER kicks off with one of the strangest, creepiest, and most unexpectedly chaotic sequels of the 1980s: Poltergeist II: The Other Side . This week, Rob and Liam dive into the return of the Freeling family, the cosmic weirdness of the “Other Side,” and the film’s biggest weapon — Reverend Henry Kane , whose calm, skeletal presence instantly elevates the entire movie. Every tim...

Send us Fan Mail Brad Dourif is feral, the robot dog is clunky, and the corridors are very wet — which can only mean one thing: we’re diving into Death Machine (1994) . Rob and Liam revisit Stephen Norrington’s pre‑ Blade cyberpunk oddity, a film Rob adored at age 10… and is now deeply questioning in 2026. From the aggressively grimy 90s aesthetic to the War Beast that moves like a shopping trolle...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam, Rob and special guest Dave revisit JJ Abrams’ Star Trek — a film that somehow pulls off the impossible. Part prequel, part reboot, part alternate‑timeline legacy sequel, it’s a movie that shouldn’t work… yet absolutely does. The guys dig into how Abrams threads the needle between honouring decades of Trek lore and delivering a fast, fun...

Send us Fan Mail This week Rob and Liam dive into Disney’s gloriously chaotic 90s swashbuckler The Three Musketeers — a film packed with mullets, moustaches, pantomime villainy and some of the most joyful sword‑fighting ever put on screen. We get into Oliver Platt having the time of his life, Tim Curry chewing scenery like he’s auditioning for Evil Santa, and the palace map room with a giant secre...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Liam takes us through Timecop , the 90s sci‑fi action flick where Jean‑Claude Van Damme roundhouse‑kicks his way through time, corruption, and some truly baffling filmmaking choices. We dig into the infamous “satisfy a woman” line — a moment so gross the movie somehow uses it twice — and the henchman’s taser that behaves less like a weapon and more like a handheld thund...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we wade into the oil‑soaked, explosion‑heavy world of On Deadly Ground — Steven Seagal’s one and only attempt at directing, and arguably the most sincere environmental PSA ever delivered through roundhouse kicks. We break down Forrest Taft’s journey from elite firefighter to eco‑warrior, the cartoonishly evil oil baron played by Michael Caine, and the film’s belief that...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we dive back into the digital trenches with The Matrix Reloaded , a sequel that cranks up the action, the philosophy, and — occasionally — the confusion. We break down Neo’s escalating powers, Zion’s questionable rave priorities, and why the Merovingian’s mansion fight still absolutely slaps. We talk about how the film leans hard into style over substance, how the...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 279 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at John Carpenter's Vampires. It might well be Carpenter's last financially successful movie, but is it Carpenter's last genuinely good movie? The reviews were somewhat lukewarm at the time, and comparisons with Dusk Till Dawn and Near Dark did it no favours, but time has been sur...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 278 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1984's, The Last Starfighter. One of the decade's finest sci-fi adventures? A great concept ultimately let down by a handful of suspect performances? Somewhere in between? One thing we can all agree on though is that Catherine Mary Stewart might be the ultimate ride or die girlfrien...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 277 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at, what on paper, should have been one of the better action movies of the decade, 1990's, Navy Seals. With a great cast, a solid premise and a handful of wonderful set-pieces, it felt like Lewis Teague had all the ingredients required for an action classic.....so, what happened? Why did Na...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 276 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Canon Films classic, 1985's, American Ninja. Bad acting? Check. Dodgy stereotypes? Check. Ludicrous premise? Check.....still kinda awesome? Check. Like its star, Michael Dudikoff, American Ninja might not be, well, objectively good, but there is definitely something about it. Does it hol...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 275 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most wildly uneven movies of the 80s, Joe Dante's. Explorers. With its fantastic cast, wonderful sense of adventure and brilliantly evocative Amblin sensibilities and aesthetic, 1985's, Explorers remains a genuinely great movie.....until it doesn't. Just how wrong do...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we dive into The Fan — a film that reminds you just how thin the line can be between admiration and obsession. On the surface it’s a slick mid‑90s thriller, but underneath it’s a character study about Fan devotion. You’ve got the fan who believes the star owes him something — that his loyalty, his passion, his identity somehow entitles him to a piece of the man he worsh...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 273 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the best, and most overqualified casts of 90s cinema. Don't get me wrong, Phil Alden Robinson's crime caper is a very enjoyable movie....but does it deserve this cast? And why doesn't anyone talk about this movie anymore? Is it deserving of a renaissance? Does it hold up...

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...
