Hey You Guys

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. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 23 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Katsuhiro Otomo's hugely influential, 1998 anime, Akira. It might get a big muddled in the middle, but the first and third acts of this movie are arguably as good as movie making gets.....unless you're Rob, in which case, nothing in Akira makes sense, the 'Estries' are confusing and there is far too mu...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 22 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Paul Verhoeven's 1987, ultra-violent classic, Robocop. From its satirical undertones and its great costume design to the unique difference between 'spitting' blood and 'gobbing' blood, no stone remains unturned. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 21 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the finest Stephen King adaptations ever made, and without doubt, one of the most beloved and most iconic movies of the 1980s. Rob Reiner's 1986 classic, Stand by Me captures the magic of youth and the nostalgia of childhood memories quite unlike anything else. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 20 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the finest horror comedies ever made. 1990's, Tremors might have spawned six (yes, six!) largely terrible sequels, but that shouldn't detract from what a stone cold classic the original is. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 19 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most ludicrous movies of all time. 1985's, Rocky IV might not be a 'good' movie in the traditional sense, but with more songs than your average musical, a totally shredded Sylvester Stallone and a very questionable relationship between a man and his robot butler, it's hard not to fall in lov...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 18 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a movie that is beloved by many, but one that the good folk at the Hey You Guys podcast feel a tad more conflicted about. If ever there was a movie of its time, it has to be, 1986's, Flight of the Navigator. A movie with a great premise, but one equally saddled with a robotic Pee-wee Herman and a complete and rather...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 17 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at James Cameron's Sci-fi action masterpiece, Aliens - one of the greatest sequels of all time, and arguably, one of the greatest movies of all time. 

Send us Fan Mail Episode 16 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at a comedy that, let's be honest, really isn't a comedy. There are a few laughs to be had for sure, but there is also plenty of violence, two of the craziest antagonists ever committed to screen and more than a hint of 70s cinematic grit. Still, comedy or not, Eddie Murphy absolute shines in his first big screen r...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 15 is here and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved movies of the 80s - 1984s (definitely not a kids movie), Ghostbusters. With the reboot now mercifully in the rear-view mirror and the somewhat more promising sequel (Afterlife) only a few months away, now seemed as good a time as any to revisit a movie that, Gozer's dodgy hairdo aside, totally...
