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?

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...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 247 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 1991 cult classic, Stone Cold. A movie, that, let's be honest here, has a lot going on. So, there is The Boz to deal with, his haircut and utterly unique wardrobe, the fact that this movie actually has an awesome cast and, whisper it, despite being utterly mental, might actually b...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 246 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 1990 cult classic, Prayer of the Rollerboys. A movie that, well, might not be exactly what you remember. Is there fun synchronised rollerblading, dodgy haircuts and ludicrous outfits? Sure there is. But then, there is also white supremacists, outright racism and a few moments of extrem...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Hey You Guys, we dive down the chimney into Violent Night (2022) — the gloriously unhinged Christmas action flick where David Harbour proves he was born to play a battle‑weary, Viking‑blooded Santa Claus. We talk booby traps that would make Home Alone’s Kevin McCallister proud (and slightly terrified), a sleigh-load of festive carnage, and why Harbour’s grumpy, hammer...

Send us Fan Mail The third part of our HUGmas season of alternative Christmas movie podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 2010's uniquely Finnish take on the Santa Clause legend, Jalmari Helander's, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Is this a modern Christmas classic, or should this comedic action horror movie be ignored for more traditional fare? Listen in via...

Send us Fan Mail It's the second part of our HUGmas season of alternative Christmas movie podcasts, and this week, Liam and Rob are going full Tubi and looking back at 1997's, Jack Frost. No, not the one with Michael Keaton and a magical harmonica, the one released a year earlier with a homicidal snowman and enough ice related murder puns to make Arnold Schwarzenegger blush. Is it good?...

Send us Fan Mail It's Christmas, and for the first part of our festive season of alternative Christmas movie podcasts, we are looking back at 2003's black comedy horror, Dead End. This low budget cult classic might not have made much of an impact on the big screen, but thanks to its wonderfully bleak premise, great writing and (mostly) exceptional cast, went on to make a huge amount of m...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 241 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam, Rob, and special guest Dave, are looking back at one of the most criminally under-watched comic book movies of all time. Blame Sylvester Stallone's somewhat botched take on the character in 95, blame poor marketing or the lukewarm response from US critics, but whatever way you look at it, 2012's, Dredd...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 240 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is ready to download, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at.....what? Steven Spielberg's masterpiece? A slow and ultimately boring UFO drama with too many plates spinning? A bit of both, perhaps? Listen in via the links in the bio to find out if 1977's, Close Encounters of the Third Kind has aged like a fine wine or a warm glass...

Send us Fan Mail This week on the Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam and Rob look back at Richard Linklater's iconic coming-of-age comedy, Dazed and Confused. With its fantastic cast, endlessly quotable dialogue and wonderfully timeless interpretation of 18 hours on the last day of school, Dazed and Confused might be set in 1976, Austin, Texas, but make no mistake, this remains one of the most relata...

Send us Fan Mail The latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest sequels in mainstream movie history. It's meta, it's satirical, it's not particularly scary, we're still not sure if it's objectively 'good', but it's nothing if not memorable and utterly unique. Listen in via the link in the bio as we try...
