In this episode, we’re heading to the local cafe to discuss the 2013 cult comedy Coffee Town .

Thi...
Cyborg: The Post-Apocalyptic Mullet Movie We Deserved 12.03.2026 40:50
This week the lads are heading to the post-apocalyptic wasteland of 1989 as they take on Cyborg ,the low budget Van Damme vehicle that somehow launched a franchise and cemented JCVD as an action icon.

Shite Talk: Metallica and The Temple of Bones 09.03.2026 52:55

The lads break down the kills, the lore, the re...
Hamburger Hill (1987): Underrated Vietnam Classic? 26.02.2026 47:34
The late 80s gave us some of the most iconic Vietnam films ever made, but where does Hamburger Hill fit? We go back to 1987 and unpack a war film that stripped away myth and left only the grind. No central hero. No triumphant charge. Just young men stuck in a cycle they barely understand. Did we overlook this one growing up? And how does it feel watching it now?

Does Highlander Still Rule or Are We Lying to Ourselves? 19.02.2026 46:29

We argue over whether Highlander is a misunderstood fantasy epic or just pure 80s vibes doing most of the work. From Christopher Lambert’s accent roulette and Sean Connery’s baffling casting, to Clancy B...

Whether you’re here for nostalgia, action-comedy mastery...
