Still Any Good?

We had such a night on our latest episode.  Chris "Big hunk o'love" Webb and Rob Johnson (who you can't help falling in love with), had a little conversation in the gharage about the 2001 heist/thriller/comedy 3,000 MILES TO GRACELAND.  Did we think that's all right mama, or did we have wooden hearts and return it to sender?  Thangvermuch! END CREDITS - Presented by Robert...

Everyone knows that the 3rd in the franchise is always the best, but is that the same with the man of steel?  Our excellent guest Adam S. Leslie has joined us to answer that question.  So get your tights on, cover yourself in scary metal and have a murderous fight with yourself while we discuss SUPERMAN III. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited by Christ...

With more twists than that time Twisted Sister turned up at a Chubby Checker concert, and then went to watch the film ‘Twister’ while eating a massive bag of Liquorice Twists, Chris has chosen a drama (is it a drama?), thriller (is it a thriller?), legal melodrama (is it a legal melodrama?) from 1993: MALICE END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited by Christ...

Rob has taken us way back to 1986, where we travel to Tibet – briefly – and endure ferocious battles with demons, biker gangs and a terrifying monkey hybrid, as we try to rescue THE GOLDEN CHILD.  Is it a gold-medal winning movie, or simply a golden shower of stinking fetid stagnant piss?  Have a listen and find out. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited...

We’re joined by the fantastic pop singer Simon f*cking Love, as we grab our drills, jump in the space shuttle and save the world.  Yes, Simon’s chosen another Bruce Willis film that critics have described as “maybe not one of his best”.  It’s ARMAGEDDON from 1998.   END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Chris Webb - Produced by Chris Webb - "Still Any Good?" logo designed by Grah...

Get your swords out, and buckle your swashes.  It’s time to look at another Dumas classic, where we follow the life of a man imprisoned for illegally importing French letters into a foreign country.  From 2002 – which was apparently 24 years ago – it’s THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. Warning 1: A couple of sound issues, but we hope it’s OK.  It is free, after all. Warning 2: There’s a bit of fruity lan...

It’s time to get on our horses, climb into the jump-jet, and set off some nukes as we watch Chris & Rob dance provocatively round the garage, eagerly watched by our special guest, John Donachie.  It’s a James Cameron extravaganza starring Arnie, so it must still be good … right??  Yes, from 1994, it’s TRUE LIES.  END CREDITS  - Presented by Robert Johnson and Chris Webb  - Produced by Chris We...

New episode, so it is!  Yer man Rob, and that gobshite Chris have gone all the way back to 1994 to talk about the explosive action thriller BLOWN AWAY, so we have.  Be warned: there may be some terrible Irish accents in this episode, but none are as bad as Tommy Lee Jones’. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited by Christopher Webb - "Still Any Good?&...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the shower ... again.  That's right, we've pulled into Bates Motel once more, and chosen cabin #1 for more murderous antics with Norman and pals.  But this time there's nuns, guitars and a very smelly table lamp.  Yes, our very special guest Patrick Strain has chosen PSYCHO III from 1986. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and...

Paul Young once sang "It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid".  How bloody wrong was he!  For our Christmas Special we've gone for the 1974 Canadian proto-slasher, BLACK CHRISTMAS.  Just like the ones you used to know.

As an extra special treat we have two guests tonight: from the superb award winning* podcast That's Not How It Went Down, we're joined by Elliot and Lewis to talk about the 1998 hostage action thriller THE NEGOTIATOR, which - in line with their show - may be based on true events. * Independent Podcast Awards 2025 - Best TV & Film Podcast END CREDITS  - Presented by Robert Johnson and...

t’s time for another in our long line of “Horror But Released Too Late To Be Classed As A Halloween Special” episodes.  Our fiend and horror afficionado Andy Burt is back and he’s gone for an old Kiwi favourite.  Join in as we kick ‘casts for the lord, and have a lovely chat over some custard.  Yes, it’s BRAINDEAD – or DEAD ALIVE if that’s what you choose to call it.   END CREDITS  - Presented by...

It's time for this year's Halloween special with one of our regular spooky guests: the brilliant artist and all-round lovely bloke, Michael Féaux Wood. Michael has chosen the 1988 children's horror/fantasy, PAPERHOUSE. Is it still 'skill'? Have a listen and find out. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited by Christopher Webb - &quo...

Yes, more fire!  This time we're joined by our frequent flier, writer and broadcaster Jamie Wall, to talk about 1991's love letter to fire-fighters: BACKDRAFT.  That's our guest, god-dammit!

And here's part 2 of our Shake & Bake double bill.  It's getting hot in here, so here's 1974's THE TOWERING INFERNO.  Is it as good as Earthquake?  Did it deserve the Oscar nominations?  Does Fred Astaire dance?  Join us and find out. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited by Christopher Webb - "Still Any Good?" logo desig...

Part 1 of our 1970s Disaster Movie Double Bill - or as we're now calling it, "Shake & Bake".  It's time for Charlton Heston to put his vest on and rescue trapped Californians and a French woman in 1974's EARTHQUAKE. Very much like Carole King (and Martika), we hope you feel the earth move under your feet. PS While editing this episode, we enjoyed a slightly alarming 5....

G'day, ya flamin' great galahs!  We've popped a shrimp on top of the barbecue, donned our hats with corks dangling off them, and headed off to Lassiters for a meeting with Mister Udgawa. That's right, we've gone a bit Australian with our new episode.  Our superb guest Tyler Adams from Goon Pod has chosen everybody's Antipodean hero (except for Kylie): it's 1986&a...

Hi, folks.  We're lucky to be joined by the NZ's King of Coffee, Anthony Bull, to talk about a couple of his other favourite topics: basketball and Looney Tunes.  As luck would have it, he's chosen just the film: it's 1996's SPACE JAM.  He sent us a delicious package of gin, tonic and coffee, which we polished off during the recording. Highly recommended, especially with a...

Okay, let's get down to it, podders!  We're happy to be re-joined by our excellent guest, Jamie Wall from the Rugby Journos Gang from Auckland.  He's chosen the 1979 thriller THE WARRIORS.  Did we dig it?  Have a listen and find out.

BAM! THWACK! BOKKO!!!!! Joining us in our dank dark cave this week is the excellent writer and podcaster Tim Worthington, who has taken us back to 1989 when super-hero films were a bit of a treat, and so was Tim Burton.  Yep, it's BATMAN.  Anybody need an enema, or having their rhubarb rubbed?

As you all know, we loved Val Kilmer. So this is our little tribute to him, as we pop back to 1997 to see the many disguises of THE SAINT.

Two men - one of which is probably past his prime - give each other a good old going over in a dirty, sweaty ring.  But enough about what Rob & Chris get up to in their spare time, we're here to do a podcast. We're joined by the excellent writer Bobbie Allen who, as well as showing no pity to us fools, has chosen the 3rd instalment of everyone's favourite 'rags to riches to...

The terrifying story of a middle aged man going into a scary, dank house full off terror and fear. But enough about Chris' garage, we're here to have a nice old chat about the sequel to one of the most famous 'terror films' of all time.  No, not Leprechaun.  It's 1983's PSYCHO II. END CREDITS - Presented by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb - Produced/edited by Chri...

Hello, bozos!  Our excellent guest, BAFTA Award winner Dan Thomas has taken us all the way back to 1988 when everybody's favourite sentient toaster-on-wheels comes to 'the city' and causes all sorts of wacky mayhem, with just a smattering of shocking racism.  Yes, it's SHORT CIRCUIT 2. Warning: May contain instances of balls being kicked into outer space. END CREDITS - Presente...

In a truly rule-breaking episode, we talk about it - it would be a pretty quick episode if we didn't.  We're delighted to be joined by the actor James Trevena to talk about the 1999 frenzy FIGHT CLUB.  Rest assured, there have been no mucky sounds subliminally pasted into the recording, although it might occasionally sound like - but that's just Chris slurping his tea.
