Hey You Guys

Send us Fan Mail When can you talk about the same movie while simultaneously talking about two very different movies? When you're talking about, Clive Barker's Nightbreed, that's when.  This week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest movies of the early 90s, a film with far too many ideas for its own good, and one that is ultimately bogged down by studio interference and,...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 47 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back to the truly insane, utterly relentless, surprisingly emotional and, well, largely decent Transformers animated movie from 1986.  Whether it be the amazingly 80s score and soundtrack, the fact that this was Orson Wells' final role or that this movie killed off the majority of its most famous characters in the first 40...

Send us Fan Mail After a bit of time off over Christmas and New Year, we now return to our regularly scheduled programming with one of the most beloved, but equally forgotten movies of the 80s. Joe Dante's, Innerspace feels like the kind of movie that everyone has fond memories of, but nobody has seen for the past 20 years. Why did it drop off the map? Does it still hold up? Is Dennis Quaid&a...

Send us Fan Mail It's still Christmas, right?  And Lethal Weapon is a Christmas movie, right? Well, depending on when you're reading this, it might not be Christmas anymore, but I'll tell you this much, Lethal Weapon is still a Christmas movie.  Join Liam and Rob as they look back at Richard Donner's, 1987 action classic; a fantastic movie that is ultimately elevated by Shane B...

Send us Fan Mail Christmas is nearly here and the podcasts just keep coming. This week, Liam and Rob take a look back at Joe Dante's, 1984 monster movie Christmas classic, Gremlins. 

Send us Fan Mail Merry Christmas Everyone! The third part in our season of Christmas podcast specials is here, and this week, Rob and Liam are covering one of their favourite Christmas movies of all time. Richard Donner's 80s-centric take on, A Christmas Carol, is dark, witty, satirical, incredibly meta, and has Bill Murray in absolutely peak form....oh, and it also has Bobcat Goldthwait. Nee...

Send us Fan Mail Christmas is here, and so is Episode 42 of the Hey You Guys Podcast. As the first in our four part Christmas podcast spectacular, this week, we will be looking back at 1990's, Home Alone - the most successful and, make no mistake, one of the finest Christmas movies ever made.  From John William's fantastic score and Macaulay Culkin's star turn to John Hughes' e...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 41 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob will be looking back at one of the more obscure 80s movies they have covered thus far, but one that really should be experienced by anyone with even a passing interest in cinema. 1986's, The Wraith is, well, quite unlike anything else, but thanks to some truly memorable / utterly mental performances, one of the 80's finest...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 40 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob will be looking back at one of the more unlikely Stephen King adaptations of the 80s, Arnold Schwarzenegger's alarmingly relevant, The Running Man. Half brilliant satire, half slightly rubbish action movie, The Running Man still feels like an oddly unique entry in the Schwarzenegger 80s oeuvre.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 39 is here and this week, Liam and Rob take a look back one of the most quotable, and without question, most likeable movies ever made. Rob Reiner's, The Princess Bride is an amalgamation of multiple genres that has absolutely no business working, but thanks to its impeccable script and faultless casting, remains one of the finest movies of the decade and, Fred Savage...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 38 is here and this week, Liam and Rob take a look back at Ron Howard's, fantasy epic, Willow, a movie that, despite being Lord of the Rings lite, manages to maintain a sense of scale a grandeur that perhaps we never gave it credit for back in the 80s. A genuinely gorgeous looking movie, one that, despite a few dated special effects, largely looks like it could have b...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Halloween!  Part 3 of our Halloween Triple Bill is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Wes Craven's, 1984 horror classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Is the movie still effective in 2021? Has Freddy been parodied too much for the character to still have an impact or is the original as effective today as it was in 1985?  Oh and what of the hair and crop tops?...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 36 is here and this week, as part of our Halloween season of podcasts, Liam and Rob will be covering 1982's, maybe directed by Tobe Hooper, maybe directed by Steven Spielberg, family horror classic, Poltergeist.  A movie that's far scarier than it's original US PG rating would suggest and far from the family-friendly ghost (ok, Poltergeist) story that I reme...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 35 is here and this week, Liam and Rob will be covering Sam Raimi's 1987 horror-comedy classic, Evil Dead II. Undoubtedly one of the strangest and most beloved 'sequels' of all time.  Bruce Campbell delivers a Buster Keaton-esque performance for the ages, and in doing so, cements himself as arguably cinema's greatest horror hero....I mean, the guys has...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 34 is here and this week, Liam and Rob will be covering the first movie that Liam ever saw at the cinema. I think we would be hard-pressed to call 1987's, Masters of the Universe a genuinely great movie, but despite some wooden acting and a somewhat limited budget, there remains something rather special about Gary Goddard's first foray in to movie direction. Whet...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 33 is here and this week, Liam and Rob (and Dave) are covering one of the smartest and arguably most underrated movies in the Schwarzenegger back catalogue. Paul Verhoeven's 1990 mind bending sci-fi satire, Total Recall is as fun and thought provoking as ever, and might just be the last great practical effects driven movie. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 32 is here and this week, Liam and Rob are joined by the good folk at Sideboob Cinema for a special crossover event in which we review the fantastic Weekend at Bernie's, and its decidedly less awesome sequel. Are these movies jolly comedies about a pair of likeable idiots caught up in an array increasingly hilarious and complex hijinks, or are we dealing with a surpri...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 31 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a movie that, well, where does one begin? A man who can hardly speak English playing a Scotsman, the world's most famous Scotsman playing a Spaniard from Ancient Egypt (with a strong Scottish accent I might add), a great concept marred by occasionally dodgy execution, a truly unique, and all-encompassing soundtrack b...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 30 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a movie that, well, totally depends on who you are listening to. If you're on Team Rob, Daniel is a douche, Mr Miyagi is *ahem*, suspect and the whole movie is largely rather rubbish. If you find yourself on Team Liam though, The Karate Kid represents one of the finest sports movies of the decade, one elevated by an...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 28 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a movie that, while invariably intertwined with the death of its lead, still represents one of the finest comic book adaptations of the 90s. Heavily inspired by Tim Burton's Batman and the grunge / alt music scene of the time, this gritty and gothic tale of redemption remains as enjoyable today as it was back in 94....

Send us Fan Mail Episode 28 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what might be one of Schwarzenegger's finest on screen performances. A much better film than we remembered, and in many respects, a much better movie than it has any right to be, Kindergarten Cop, despite it's truly creepy villain, remains a legitimately enjoyable slice of family friendly fun.....oh, except for...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 27 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most resoundingly feel good movies of the 80s. Whether you're a fan of Bill & Ted's exploits or not, it's hard to argue with the idea that the world could do with a little more of their relentless positivity.  Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure remains a fun-filled experience, one driv...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 26 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what ostensibly became the template for the vast majority of 80s action movies. It might not be great in the traditional sense, but 1985's, Commando, despite its myriad shortcomings, somehow manages to be one of the most memorable, quotable and downright enjoyable movies of the decade.  

Send us Fan Mail Episode 25 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the criminally overlooked, utterly unique and truly quite insane, Buckaroo Banzai (or 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension' to give the movie its fittingly crazy full title).  Despite being crammed with enough ideas to fill three movies and a plot that is held together by sticky tape, this...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 24 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved and iconic movies of all time. Robert Zemeckis', Back to the Future remains as close to perfect today as it did back in 1985, a movie that, in many respects, has hardly aged a day in the 36 (36!?) years since its original release.
