The Silver Screen Dudes

Not often we get to do this, but we have decided to go off the boil a bit this week. In honour of literally nothing more than the fact that we have wanted to do this topic for ages, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Movie Debuts. From child stars like Natalie Portman, Macaulay Culkin & Jacob Tremblay, to ladies who have captured us from the first moment they were on screen like...

A massive thank you to our fan @fishbowlapocalypse for selecting this brilliant topic! On this episode, the Silver Screen Dudes discuss the villains we secretly love. There are some very obvious choices and some... shall we say... weird-ass choices. Notably from Mr AJ, there have been some bizarre choices on his villains, some which left Nico Lurot answering "How can you love that villain?". There...

A massive congrats to our Instagram winner @currymonsterlee who not only won our recent Instagram contest, and a great prize, but also selected this epically brilliant topic for us to comb over. This allowed us t really get our critical hats on and think about who in the industry, people don't appreciate enough (and there are many, including an under-rated actor we believe should be the next Wolve...

Welcome to the latest edition of the Movie Mount Rushmore. This week, in honour of How To Train Dragon 3, we are counting down the TOP 10 Dreamworks movies. While many (including one of our hosts, Nico Lurot) believe this to be the "lesser" brand when compared to Pixar, there are some undisputed gems in Dreamworks' portfolio. Big IPs like Shrek, How To Train Your Dragon and Madagascar, to lesser k...

It's Oscar Weekend. Normally we would be incredibly excited for this once a year movie event, but with all the ridiculous ness surrounding the Oscars this year (notably the weird initial decision to omit Editing and Cinematography from being televised), we've actually decided to put a bit of a negative spin on this episode. We're counting down the TOP 10 Oscar Snubs. Now of course there have been...

In honour of the release of Glass, we are counting down the TOP 10 Samuel L. Jackson. Arguably the most famous actor in Hollywood, Mr Jackson really has done it all, from Anime like the Incredibles, Big Blockbusters like Kingsman and Star Wars, fantastic Indie flicks like Pulp Fiction and even some highly entertaining B-Movies like Snakes on a Plane. While not always of the highest quality (his wo...

In honour of the (UK) release of the Upside which for some reason didn't release on these shores until this year despite being two years old (!!!), the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TP 10 Remakes of Foreign films. As you may already know, the Upside is in fact a remake of French film called les Intouchables. Big disclaimer for this list: at no point are we suggesting that the movies th...

In honour of the release of Vice, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Biopics. From amazing music biopics like Straight Outta Compton and All Eyez On Me, to historical pieces like Gandhi and Sports Biopics like Raging Bull, believe us when we say that this TOP 10 list oozes quality with every single entry!

In honour of the release of Dragon Ball Z: Broly, the Silver Screen Dudes thought we'd put a spin on the Animated Genre, and count down the TOP 10 Non-Disney, Non-Comic Book, and Non-CG Animated Movies. Yes, we do know of course that Dragon Ball is a beloved Manga, but thought this would be a fund list for our listeners none the less. Hopefully we can introduce to some foreign gems like Red Turtle...

In honour of the release of Mary Poppins Returns, to kick off Season 2 of the Movie Mount Rushmore Podcast, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Live Action Disney Movies. In this age, of course our mind goes to more recent remakes such as Cinderella, Jungle Book, and Beauty & the Beast. However, there are so many other greats like Honey I Shrunk the Kids and National Treasure to n...

Happy new year to all of the Silver Screen Dudes! To celebrate our 1 year anniversary (well nearly a year, we're just shy of a few days, lol), and to also respond to a request we have received numerous times on Social Media from fans, the time has come that Nico Lurot Lurot and Anthony "AJ" Jordan have been dreading... Our Personal TOP 10 favourite films of all time! Hands down, this is the hardes...

It's the most wonderful time of the year, so of course tis the season to count down our TOP 10 Christmas Movies. There are a few startling omissions, so hot debates (are they, aren't they christmas flicks?), some comedies and some all round feel good amazing christmas movies. Sit back and listen to our rundown of some top St Nick Flicks!

This week, we are not doing our list "in honour" of anything in particular. We were actually left scratching our heads about what to do as the festive season is not quite on us, Oscar season is not quite on us, what to do, what to do...? So the 1 AJ (one half of the Silver Screen Dudes) decided that since the other half of the dudes had just got engaged, it was the perfect time to do Alternative C...

Another week and another fan wins our Instagram competition. As well as winning prizes if you win, we also let you pitch a topic for our Podcast. This week, our winner is Dive School Osmiornica hailing from Gdansk, Poland. We had the pleasure of ice diving with him last January, and if you're heading to northern Poland, check him out! For the topic, Dive School Osmiornica initially pitched the top...

In honour of one of our longest fans (dating way back to early YouTube days!) winning our Instagram contest, we are doing another fan selection episode, Our winner picked the awesome topic of "Movies the Critics got wrong" and we went to town. We have breezed through Rotten Tomatoes, filtered through Meta Critic and delved all the way back into some reviews that first came out way back when. I thi...

In honour of the brilliant but criminally under-watched "First Man", the latest outing fro Oscar winning director Damien Chazelle, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Real Space Movies. By real, we mean no Star Wars, no Star Trek, no Guardians of the Galaxy and no Aliens (you get the idea). If fantasy or mega sci-fi is what you're looking for, this ain't for you. If you're after s...

Ok, ok, we've got to put our hands an apologise, we know this episode is a a bit late... But better late than never as they say. In (belated) celebration of Halloween, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Horror Movies - arguably one of the hardest lists we've had to do, simply because there is SO MUCH quality in the horror genre... So sit back, enjoy the scares as we count down th...

In honour of the release of That Hate You Give, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Movies about Racism. This list comprises some of the greatest movies of our time. Clearly when auteurs/directors deal with this subject matter, and when actors have a chance to perform with what are generally exceptional scripts, the results are stellar!

In honour of the release of Venom (which we both maintain the critics got horribly wrong, and it's actually a good, fun, comic book romp), the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down Tom Hardy's frankly intimidating body of work. From gangsters like Bronson and the Kray Twins, period pieces like Lawless, (other) comic book movies like Bane, to sweeping epics like The Revenant, Tom Hardy has got a bo...

In case you weren't aware, the Silver Screen Dudes also run a weekly competition on our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/silverscreendudes/ were winners not only have a chance to win prizes, but can also pitch a Topic for the movie mount rushmore podcast!!! So, in honour of our Instagram winner, @zainey168 who selected possibly the hardest topic we've ever covered, we are counting down the...

In honour of the release of the Equalizer 2, starring arguable one of the greatest actors working today, Denzel Washington, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10... Denzel Washington Movies. From Oscar nominated performances like Malcolm X and Flight, to visceral and violent flicks like Man on Fire and Training Day, remakes like The Magnificent 7, and even slick heist movies like In...

In honour of the release of Christopher Robin, adapted from the classic A.A.Milne books, Winnie the Pooh, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 movies adapted from children's books. From fantasy epics like The Hobbit and Harry Potter, to timeless classics like Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, to books you (maybe?) didn't know where adaptations like How to Train...

In honour of the release of The Meg (which co-host Nico Lurot is predicting is gonna be "awesomely terrible because it's Jason Statham punching a Shark"), the Silver Screen Dudes are counting down the TOP 10 Ocean Movies. From timeless classics like The Bounty and the Seahawk, to animation spectaculars like Little Mermaid and Moana, to Monster Epics like Jaws and In the Heart of the Sea, not to me...

In honour of the release of the Incredibles 2, the Silver Screen Dudes are counting the TOP 10 Animated Sequels. Now this list was trickier than expected as we didn't wish to go all out Disney, and where possible, we tried to mix things up a bit. Even while working within the powerhouse that is Disney, we thought it important to mention some lesser known titles such as the Rescuers Down Under, the...

In case you weren't aware, the Silver Screen Dudes also run a weekly competition on our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/silverscreendudes/ were winners not only have a chance to win prizes, but can also pitch a Topic for the movie mount rushmore podcast!!! So, in honour of our Instagram winner, @theevilempire who selected quite a disturbing topic (and why not), we are counting down the TO...
