Oldie But A Goodie

You come to us on the day we're watching 'The Godfather' and expect us to review it? Well, it's a good thing we're watching it for the podcast then! This week, we're finally reviewing the classic crime drama by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo, starring powerhouse performances from Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. Listen in as we discuss if it's overrated or not! Join our Patreon for our bonus epis...

We picked another long movie for our next episode, so here's a sneaky bonus Patreon review for free while we get ready for next week! It's 1987's Mannequin... The premise is simple: a guy falls in love with a storefront mannequin. When no one's around, he sees that the mannequin isn't made out of wood, it's made out of Kim Cattrall! This film is WILD.

After last week's episode, we wanted to watch another movie starring Jodie Foster, so Sandro picked 2002's Panic Room. Directed by David Fincher, it tells the tale of a home invasion. Our arch nemesis, Jared Leto, teams up with Forest Whittaker to break into Jodie Foster's new home. This leads to Foster hiding with her daughter, Kristen Stewart, in a panic room.

We felt like a classic this week, so join us and special guest hauntedbyhan as we review 1991's The Silence of the Lambs. It's the award-winning horror/thriller based on Thomas Harris's novel. Jodie Foster plays a young FBI agent who has to "team up" with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter to hunt down a serial killer called Buffalo Bill.

Going into the second half of Zack Snyder's sci-fi epic Rebel Moon, we had one question: Will stuff happen in this one? The answer: Kind of! Join us as we return to a universe of slo-mo farming, derivative world-building, and a few pretty cool bits here and there too.

Have you ever wanted a 20-minute "we've got to get a team together" montage to be 3-and-a-half hours long? If so, do we have the movie for you! This week, we're reviewing the first part of Zack Snyder's sci-fi/fantasy western/samurai saga: Rebel Moon. We watched the director's cut (obviously) and have a lot of thoughts!

Over on Patreon, we just wrapped up our 2-year journey through the 'Friday the 13th' franchise. To celebrate that, here's the first episode in that series... for free!

What better way to celebrate our 300th episode than by reviewing Zack Snyder's 300. We're talking Gerard Butler's beard, Lena Headey's unnecessarily exploitative side plot, Michael Fassbender's iconic queer performance, all the racism and ableism, as well as the 'Age of Empires' visuals that totally hold up. However, this episode has a twist... Neither Sandro nor Zach actually watched the movie th...

For the first time ever on the podcast, we are reviewing a movie that was released in the same decade we are currently in. This is also the first time we've reviewed a remake of a movie directly after talking about the original! This week, we're heading over to Paramount+ for 2023's Genie, a remake of 'Bernard and the Genie', written by the original creator Richard Curtis. In this one, Melissa McC...

This week we ask the question, "Is it cringe to review a Christmas movie in January?" The answer is probably yes, but this movie was so much fun that we don't care. 'Bernard and the Genie' is a 1991 TV movie, written by Richard Curtis, where Bernard (Alan Cumming) gets fired by his mean boss (Rowan Atkinson) and then uses a genie (Lenny Henry) to steal the Mona Lisa. It's incredibly silly, incredi...

Back in 2019, we reviewed the 1994 live-action 'The Flintstones' movie, where Sandro and special guest Rob Lloyd bullied Zach into giving it an oldie. Now, five and a half years later, the boys are finally reviewing Brian Levant's follow-up prequel film 'The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas', and Zach has plans to bully Sandro into changing his rating.

To celebrate the holidays in the most on-brand way possible, we're reviewing 'Jingle All the Way' this week! In this 1996 Christmas classic(?), Arnold Schwarzenegger has to hit the streets to get his son (Jake Lloyd) an action figure. Along the way, he fights Jim Belushi as Santa, runs into Sinbad as another dad looking for the same toy, and has to thwart the evil wife-stealing plans of his neighb...

Before he tried to drown actors in Avatar: The Way of Water, before he even thought about drowning anyone on Titanic, James Cameron tried to drown Ed Harris while making 1989's The Abyss. We're starting to think this guy might be a little obsessed with water-based movies! Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!

Buckle those seat belts because this week we're hitting the road in 2016's Monster Trucks. It's a movie about a cute subterranean creature that loves to eat oil and make silly car noises. Alongside Lucas Till and Jane Levy, the creature has to try and save its family from the evil hands of Rob Lowe. No one remembers this movie, and Paramount tried to bury it, but we reckon it's pretty fun (mostly)...

Looking for some more Ryan Gosling after last week's episode? Want to see him play another silent type who is willing to get his hands dirty here and there? Well, we've got the movie review for you! We're checking out Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, also starring Carey Mulligan, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac, and Bryan Cranston.

We're back in LA to stare up at giant Atari ads this week because we're reviewing Blade Runner 2049! It's the sequel to the movie we reviewed earlier this year, except this one has Ryan Gosling and his AI girlfriend in it! But does Jared Leto being in this ruin our experience watching this critically acclaimed sci-fi? Maybe! Listen in and find out! Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://...

Do you remember Donnie Darko? We reviewed it years ago and were pretty torn on whether it was good or not. Well, the disagreements are back as this week we're reviewing Richard Kelly's big follow-up to that movie... It's 2006's Southland Tales! It's an epic mystery thriller where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has to figure out what's going on with the plot of this film. That sounds like a joke on how...

We're starting a whole new season this week with a brand-new gimmick: we can pick whatever movie we want to review as long as we can find a way to connect it to last week's episode. But this is the first one so Zach could pick whatever he wanted... which was Disney's 2016 hit 'Moana'. Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a singing and rapping demigod, it tells the story of a young Polynesian prin...

We've run the numbers, we've calibrated our opinions, and now it's finally time for our massive 80 Years In Review award show! Since January 2023, we've been reviewing movies from the years 1920 to 2000, and, on this big bumper episode, we're discussing which ones were the best and which ones were the worst.

Want some bloopers? Here's some bloopers! So many bloopers from all the episodes we've done over the last two years. It's very silly.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. It's considered one of the best worst movies ever made. We gave it a watch to see if that was correct! And it was. I don't know why we even questioned that fact. This movie's awful. But also great! Here's a long rant about it. Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!

For our next stop in our Mortal Kombat mini-series, we're heading back to 1995 and checking out the original live-action adaptation of this videogame series.

The big "1920 - 2000 Award Show" is coming soon, but before then we're dropping a little mini-series straight from the Patreon vaults for free! It's our reviews of the 3 live-action Mortal Kombat movies. To kick it off, here are our thoughts on the 2021 movie! (We reviewed them out of order, but I reckon that makes it even better.)

It's been a long journey but we're finally wrapping up this long series with a movie from the year 2000. And to end this epic journey, we had to pick a film worthy of everything that has come before. To do this, we looked at all the movies that came out in 2000... Carefully considered all the hits... And gave up, it was too hard. We picked Adam Sandler's 'Little Nicky' because it was funny. Join o...

1999 is considered by many to be one of the greatest years of movies ever. So many modern classics came out in that year. We didn't want to review any of those, so, instead, we picked the Will Smith flop 'Wild Wild West'! You might know it only by the song that Will Smith raps in the credits, but it's a Western sci-fi comedy that co-stars Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek and Kenneth Branagh. It's also dir...
