Look Who's Podcasting

The Twin Peaks episode is slightly delayed while I learn how to make some damn fine coffee and pie, and instead we got together recently to talk about some of our favourites from 2025. We also talk some new movies with Mortal Kombat 2, Disclosure Day and Obsession, plus Greg Arraki's 1997 surrealist (bonkers) soap opera satire Nowhere gets a mention.

If someone started sending random tapes to my house to make me insane, it'd probably have to have that John Leguizamo movie the Pest on there. This movie poses a lot of questions; the main one being whether or not it is suitable to watch with your mother in law. It's not quite Monster's Ball levels of unsuitable, but it's definitely close. Take care when tracking this one down for...

Cyborg war whales! Udo Kier! Room service! The 2022 black and white re-release of Johnny Mnemonic gave us a new appreciation for the 90's cyberpunk action thriller.

This week the podcast looks back at the 1986 alien abduction fantasy Flight of the Navigator. We got some permed mullets, adults inappropriately flirting with 12 year olds, cute little pet bat things, hard R words, everything you'd expect from a kids film from the 80's. Great stuff all round. Also this is kind of a horror movie but we'll explain more as we go.

I don't know how else to say so I'm just gonna say it - bust out those hand jives folks we're gettin' greasy on this one. We talk about everything Grease; the stage play to film adaptation, the music, the characters, retro nostalgia and as always our thoughts and feelings on the 1978 classic. RIP to the beautiful Olivia Newton John and long live our chin blessed prince John Travolt...

This week on the pod Jimmy brings us the 2013 one man car drama (crama?) that is Locke. We talk about Tom Hardy's epic sick day off work, the millenial nightmare that is being on a stressful phone call for 90 minutes, and how this movie can also act as a radio play or sleeping pill. We also talk the technical behind the scenes, how limitations breed creativity in film, Jack Nicholson's wer...

This week we ain't rollin in no Hyundai as Tristan brings the 3rd installment of the Fast and Furious franchise to the pod. The movie that inspired young people everywhere to save up their Maccas money to buy a Nissan Skyline, and what Roger Ebert would describe as a magnificent contribution to car cinema - TOKYO DRIFT. Not really, but this one kinda has it all, if by all you mean romantic driftin...

This week on the pod Jimmy has graced us by selecting none other than the 49% RT score rollercoaster that is ̶W̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶H̶o̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶D̶o̶w̶n̶ Olympus Has Fallen! Directed by Anthony Powertool Vengeance Fuqua and starring our beloved Gerard Big Top Butler, we talk about code names, cosy Gerard, knife fights, code names, the one-man army genre, goofy patriotism and a little bit more. And in case th...

The question of is the podcast alone in the universe, has been answered. ID4 came out 30 years ago, and like a hostile alien race that may or may not have probed Randy Quaid in the cornhole, the pod has returned. For those at home keeping score, this is the first pod back since My Best Friends Wedding episode last year. We still have Olympus Has Fallen coming out next but we thought we'd mark...

Say a little prayer that rom coms will be on the pod table in the future after this episode. Spoiler alert - they will be! Friend of the pod and fellow MBFW enthusiast Lucy joins us on this special episode where we cover one of Tristan's favourites. Stay tuned til the end to find out what we'll be covering next week.

This week the pod picks up the nunchucks for the undeniably good time that is Black Dynamite. We dig the characters, costumes, music and backdrops that perfectly satirise the blaxploitation genre so closely you might forget for a moment that it was made in the late 2000's.

Jackie and Max forever. Or at least until the phone rings. Join us for a fun chat about Tarantino's quieter but mature 1997 follow up the cinematic game changer that was Pulp Fiction. Plus a personal QT movie ranking at the end.

WARNING - Despite our intention to not spoil OldBoy we can't help ourselves so spoilers for that movie from 17:00 - 17:30 This week on the pod Jimmy takes us back to a simpler time of 2002 when revenge movies weren't all about beekeepers, stern Liam Neeson or Russian mafia attacks on puppies. I mean they used to star Kevin Costner and Anthony Quinn back when I was growing up but I guess re...

This week it's all about violent psychopaths in Samurai movies as the pod discusses the nihilistic and brutal 1966 film The Sword of Doom. On release it was criticised as meaningless violence but has since been re-appraised as a cult classic and re-released as part of the Criterion collection. This one is going to be pretty niche but we recommend it all the same. If you are interested in watch...

Denzel Washington as a disgraced cop with a shot at redemption. Russell Crowe as the perfect virtual psychopath birthed from some kind of geiger-esque alien egg. Leather cop suits with matching hats. Mechanical arms. Mid murder impromptu musical performance. This movie has a little bit of everything. It's reverse terminator, reverse matrix, reverse lawnmower man, maybe even a Jurassic Park ref...

Tank Girl! Do we really need to say more? Probably yes. Now I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed? This was one that we had not seen for some time so we're looking at whether or not Tank Girl deserves its reputation as a 90's over the top misfire, or whether it can barrel it's way into our hearts and minds in 2025.

Did you know you can get Captain Kirk's leather jacket from Star Trek 3 The Undiscovered Country? There's some pretty good leather jackets in this one too. We might tangent off a bit on this one so fair warning going in, plus the microphone got dropped before we recorded this and one of the channels sounds a little worse for wear but hopefully nothing that will ruin your day. Thanks everyo...

So many questions. First being does this thing hold up for the millennials like us who probably watched it a thousand times as kids? Is Rufio really a paramecium brain? Why on earth didn't Michael Jackson wanna play Peter Pan??? All this and more plus some good stick discussion.

Which was better, Madame Web or Joker 2?

Just in time before the spooky season ends - it's a bit of a zombie movie round up. Also the pod is back! This one wasn't meant to be our first episode back but we had to sneak it in for Halloween. We dig in on our top three favourite zombie movies, with some you would guess and others maybe not so much. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We were lucky enough to see Terminator 2 on the big screen recently and sat down to share our thoughts on it. This is the last episode before the pod takes a season break, so we're going out on a big one. In the meantime look for us on instagram @lookwhospodcasting or you can send us an email at lookwhospodcasting@gmail.com and tell us what movies we should cover.

In anticipation of our Terminator 2: Judgement Day season finale next week we're re-upping the segments from our 1980's Arnold episode where we talked Terminator 1.

28 Days, 6 Hours, 42 Minutes, 12 Seconds. That is when this pod will end. Nah not really. But it's enough time for you to enjoy our chat through one of the Myspace era's favourite films. Time travel, alternative dimensions, bunny ghosts, people from Independence Day, an incredible 80's soundtrack, the list goes on for this mysterious and captivating movie. The guys think this one is wo...

Sneakin' in at the buzzer for this one. A delayed episode due to a bit of the winter sneezy blues but couldn't miss talking about some of the best movies to come out in 2024. This week's round up includes the Citizen Kane of bisexual tennis love mindgame movies with Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, the latest from Alex Garland with the intense and gritty Civil War, and Richard Linkla...

The pod watched Furiosa over the last weekend and hopped on mic immediately afterwards to share their initial thoughts. A bit of a shorter episode this week but you get our raw fresh takes on the latest entry into George Miller's fantastical Australian apocalyptic wasteland. Frankensteined motorbikes, Marauders, Revenge and nipple chains. Some pretty great cameos in this one too from some fami...
