Look Who's Podcasting

Fuller, go easy on the pod-si! This week on the pod the guys pick a fan request and talk about the beloved millennial nostalgia fest that is Home Alone. They talk Macualay Culkin's early career, child horror, Catherine O'Hara, that annoying neighbour kid, John Candy's polka band leader as the devil, and so much more. It's what the french call - pod incompeténte.

On this special episode the pod noticed there's a new Seth Rogen / Evan Goldberg helmed teenage turtles movie coming so they're going back to look at the inception of the comic, the subsequent toys and TV show, and of course the 1990 live action film. It's really just a convoluted round about way for Tristan to finally talk about his April O' Neal obsession. We celebrate this stran...

To commemorate the release of John Wick 4 on the home media's the guys are running through their personal top ten Keanu movies. Who doesn't love some Keanu? This was a really fun episode to record so stay tuned for more actor top tens in the future.

Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny? Me neither, I was just askin'. On this special Jimmy pick episode we're looking at SNL movies with the most successful of the bunch - Wayne's World and The Blues Brothers. But before that Jimmy gives us an intro to one of his favourite ongoing sketch shows and it's history over the years, the ro...

This week Jim and Tristan talk about two of the best J-Horror movies from the 60's. Kaneto Shindo's Onibaba and Kuroneko. Two movies about women killing samurai. Some might be cat ghosts! They're kinda scary? They definitely look amazing. If you're at all interested in watching them then please do before enjoying this episode as there are major spoilers for both movies. We warned y...

It's finally here! The guys honour the One True God himself with a top ten. You never really know how difficult it is to try and rank these movies, there's so many memorable performances. We've promised this one for a while so thanks to everyone for bearing with us. More actor top tens to come in the future as this was a lot of fun to do.

Ah little lad, you're starin' at my fingers? Would you like me to tell you the story of old left pod right pod - the story of Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear? This week the guys have queued up a Robert Mitchum double. This episode they give their thoughts on the strange yet beloved cult classic Night of the Hunter from 1955 and the original Cape Fear from 1962. In each movie Robert Mitch...

On the previous episode we promised a Nic Cage top ten up next, but we're gonna withhold that a little bit for now, and change up the formula a little. From here we're going to include more Round Ups and Bonus episodes that break off from the double feature format. So that means today's the day for Round up Three! The movies mentioned on this episode are The Platform (2019) , Dune (198...

This week on the pod Jimmy wanted to discuss some movies that got them a little bit misty eyed, so they cued up the notorious tear jerker Studio Ghibli classic The Grave of the Fireflies. They discuss the qualities of the film that make it so enjoyable despite its heavy theme and reputation for being one of the saddest movies ever. Then they move onto 2021's Pig, which is kind of like John Wic...

To celebrate the recent Criterion release of Thelma and Louise this week on the pod the guys pair this awesome movie with another Geena Davis flick, A League of Their Own. They discuss some fun and serious things happening behind the scenes of both titles as well as the larger themes both of these influential movies touch on. Geena Davis' recent book about her life and acting titled Dying of P...

Have you ever thought to yourself what it would be like if Sylvester Stallone starred in a juiced up 80's family drama that also has truck work-outs and competitive arm wrestling? Well, think no more! On this episode of the podcast the guys try to pin down what is about this movie that they find legitimately enjoyable. If it's just a funny plot line and 80's nostalgia, why can't I...

There may or may not be a snake in my boot as the podcast is back with another Round Up talking about some of the movies they've been watching lately. There's also some TV and video game talk on this one. Movies discussed on this episode are Hereditary, Air, Monster's Ball, Rio Bravo, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Knock at the Cabin, The Mule, Weird - the Al Yankovic Story and Kill Bill...

This week the guys delve into their shared love of video games and documentaries with 2007's The King of Kong. How interesting could a documentary be about two middle aged dudes competing for the classic arcade Donkey Kong world record?? The rabbit hole is deeper than an opera note on this one. This episode goes all in on the events of the film and a timeline of events revolving around the two...

On this episode the guys open some beers and talk Mortal Kombat - the games and the films from 1995 and 2021. Usually Scorpion is my guy with that cool hook grab move but Jimmy has been teaching us the ways of Sub Zero. Finally I can stop spamming that jump attack and leg sweep. There's a lot of fun to be had with these movies. The pod talks about their history with the franchise and general l...

Following up from misfit kids sports, for this Tristan pick the guys are hanging out to talk about their mutual love of the Karate Kid. They kinda agree with Sean Penn that Ralph Macchio may be the greatest actor of his time and mentally marinade on all this modern discourse around Johnny being the victim of Part 1 (spoiler alert - he definitely isn't). Part 2 gets a breakdown as well with Dan...

Don't worry! Karate Kid is on the way, but first the guys interrupt regular scheduling for a bonus round up episode of the movies they've been watching lately. They catch up on some of the movies mentioned in each others top ten list from the Best of the Year episode and more. They also learn the cost of buying a donkey.

This week on the podcast Jimmy picks the subject and brings us misfit kids sports movies. They look at Bad News Bears from 1976 which most certainly wouldn't get made the same way today but it originates much of the tropes we would later see in popular films like The Mighty Ducks, Little Giants or Wildcats. Tristan hadn't seen it before and thought it might be about actual bears. Turns out...

Last week it was monster movies and Tristan decided he wanted to talk a bit more about Godzilla. After a festive evening watching the original 1950's version on the big screen they also delve into the 1998 and 2014 American takes on the lizard king, as well as the 2016 Shin Godzilla! Stay tuned for some Kaiju movie talk too. Get your stupid big piles of fish ready and bust out the home pregnancy t...

For this Jimmy pick we went down the rabbit (wolf?) hole of two monster movies. One a 1950's classic and the other an early eighties Werewolf movie. Tristan is still kinda miffed the show isn't talking about Jack Nicholson's critically fiesta'd 1990's movie Wolf, but hey what can you do? Oh yeah and we call this episode 3 in the end, but it's actually episode 4. That's a whole other confusing kett...

We interrupt regular scheduled episodes for this special bonus best of the year. On this one we run through each of our top ten movies for 2022. There will be some surprises in here. Will we uncover the secrets of Dumbledore? The whole world is celebrating *80's guitar solo* 

Making movies can be quite hard. And fun. And sometimes traumatic for those involved. This week we pick two movies that have some fun behind the scenes stories and trivia: Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead and Werner Herzog's Aguirre - The Wrath of God. Join us for a fun chat about some of the stories behind the scenes of these two very entertaining movies. 

Ah the first full length episode. What a time to be alive. For the first big discussion on our new podcast we're going to talk about our mutual love of Top Gun Maverick and look at legacy sequels: the ones we think work well and others that don't quite hit the mark. In this episode we discuss Top Gun Maverick, The Hustler, The Colour of Money, Rambo, Terminator: Dark Fate, Independence Day Resurge...
