Oldie But A Goodie

After many years of attempting to get one of his childhood favourite movies on the show, Zach has finally succeeded. This week, we're finally watching the animated Soviet Union version of Treasure Island from 1988. This joint Russian and Ukrainian production takes a Looney Tunes-type approach to the classic adventure story, and has one of the funniest English dubs we've ever come across. While it...

Sometimes you just want to make a movie with your friends where you pretend to be goofy spies, do a bunch of improv, and figure out a story later. And you know what? That is okay! You can do that! The thing is, you should probably make the movie at least a little fun for the viewers. In the case of Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase's film 'Spies Like Us', directed by John Landis, they may have forgotten...

To wrap up 2023'sCage-A-Rama, we did a MASSIVE bonus battle between two classic Nic Cage action movies: 'Con Air' and 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. Now, for the first time ever, this epic showdown is available for free on our main podcast feed. Which movie is better? Which is the worst? Which has the best Cage moments?

Do you like water? We love water! You'll be hard-pressed to find a pair of podcasters who love water as much as us. And that's why we went to a cinema in 2022 and watched Avatar: The Way of Water! Then we reviewed it on Patreon! And now, we're releasing that review for free! So many opinions! And water!

This week, we're reviewing Ocean's Eleven. No, it's not the classic heist movie by Steven Soderbergh that spawned the franchise we've probably all heard of today. We're instead talking about the 1960 film by Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack. We slogged our way through this egotistical mess to see if it deserves to be as poorly remembered as it is.

To wrap up Sandro's month of choices is a forgotten Disney science fiction film from 1978 called 'The Cat from Outer Space'. It's about an alien cat that crash-lands on Earth. With the help of some scientists, the cat goes on an adventure to fix its ship and return home, while learning some life lessons along the way, like how gambling is excellent, actually. Wait, isn't this a kids' movie? Join o...

A killer cat is on the loose in a small English village in this week's movie! It's an Italian horror film called 'The Black Cat', based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story. Can director Lucio Fulci deliver another gory mystery set in a country that's not Italy? Let's find out!

We've watched a few Italian giallo horrors before on this podcast. We've also watched a couple slashers set in New York City before on this podcast. We have never watched an Italian giallo set in New York City before though... And that's what we're reviewing this week with Lucio Fulci's incredibly brutal 'The New York Ripper' from 1982!

Let's get back to the movies and kick off Sandro's month of choices with a comedy horror co-written by Robert Zemeckis. We're checking out a feature-length 'Tales from the Crypt' film called 'Bordello of Blood' from 1996. It's about vampires, megachurches, magical keys, and Corey Feldman.

It's a super special episode this week as guest host Zac Rose pits Sandro and Zach against each other in a couple of rounds of Oldie But A Goodie-themed trivia. Do your two hosts remember the movies they review, or have they forgotten everything they've done on this show, and who will be crowned the winner? Listen in and find out!

As Zach's month of movie choices wraps up, we check out another satirical action sci-fi directed by Paul Verhoeven. This one has a twist, however... It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger! He's a regular guy (or is he?) who goes on a memory vacation to Mars (or does he?) and gets a lot more than he bargained for.

It's our long-awaited review of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. We reviewed the first movie back in 2022, and since then, we have received constant requests to record an episode about the sequel. This one follows a cop dog voiced by James Marsden who has to team up with a cat and a pigeon to take down the evil Kitty Galore. Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon...

Did you know that Starship Troopers isn't just a regular action movie? It might seem like Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi film is a shallow war tale about Casper Van Dien shooting bugs, but it's a lot deeper than that... It's a satire! We're the first ever podcasters to realise that this movie has a lot going on under the surface, and that's what we're discussing on this week's episode! Join our Patr...

To kick off a month of movie choices only from Zach (and voted on by our Patreon subscribers), we're jumping headfirst into Toontown for a review of Robert Zemeckis's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's a one-of-a-kind blend of live-action and cartoon, set against a 1940s Hollywood backdrop, and featuring a hilarious combination of slapstick violence and hard-boiled mystery.

It's pretty impressive that we've done over 300 episodes and not reviewed a single M. Night Shyamalan movie. That changes this week as we check out his 2002 sci-fi thriller, Signs. It's about crop circles and alien invasions and society and other things. We're joined by comedian Jodie Sloan to untangle all the twists and turns this film has to offer.

Finally, a podcast that answers one of the most important questions of all time... Is 'The Master of Disguise' not bad enough for the bad movie club? Everyone knows that it's pretty bad. It has 1% on Rotten Tomatoes, they basically gave up filming it halfway through, and Dana Carvey's career never recovered... But is it really THAT bad? (Yes.)

You might think that the animated movie Robots from 2005 is just a fun, colourful and wholesome adventure in a wacky city of robots, but you'd be wrong. This story and the world around it are incredibly dark. This week, we're diving deep into this childhood favourite of ours and uncovering the true meaning behind Blue Sky Studio's often overlooked follow-up to Ice Age. Join our Patreon for our bon...

What do you get when you ask Wes Craven, creator of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and 'Scream', to break away from his gory horror roots and direct a dark sci-fi thriller? You get test audiences who are so disappointed in the lack of violence in the movie that you then get him to do a bunch of reshoots that add in heaps of gory horror scenes! But what do you get when those new graphic reshoots are t...

Have you ever wanted to watch a movie about a sentient computer that is just a sword and sorcery fantasy film in disguise? What about an anthology movie that's more similar to a sketch film but without any of the comedy? Have you ever wondered where Adam Savage from Mythbusters got his catchphrase from? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this week's movie is for you! It's The Dungeonma...

We're back and we've got a massive episode for you! This week, two puppet horror movies will go head to head in a truly deadly bonus battle. First up, from 1989, it's Puppet Master. This one sees a bunch of psychics stuck in a hotel getting killed one by one by a group of living puppets! Then, we've got Demonic Toys from 1992. This one sees a bunch of people stuck in a toy warehouse getting killed...

We watched Space Jam: A New Warner Bros Advertisement, which is about basketball and Warner Bros and jokes and cameos and Warner Bros.

Straight from the Patreon vaults, it's a bonus battle about two family movies from 1984! One is about a kid who finds a mysterious videogame cartridge, leading him into a cat-and-mouse game with some thugs who are intent on killing him. The second is about a bunch of kids who start a fertilizing company! Which one will win the most points? Listen in to find out! Join our Patreon for our bonus epis...

We here at Oldie But A Goodie love reviewing kids movies that are way too dark and scary for kids. This week, we're looking at a classic example of this style of film: Jim Henson and Frank Oz's The Dark Crystal from 1982. It's a fantasy movie filled with adventure, goofy characters, incredible puppetry, and tons of horrible and violent acts inflicted upon cute creatures. It's fun for the whole fam...

Nothing complicated this week, just a good ol' fashioned heist movie by Frank Oz. In 'The Score', Robert De Niro is recruited by Marlon Brando to do one last job... But things get a little more complicated when Edward Norton joins the crew. Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!
