Two Blokes Talking Tech

We've been streaming a bit:)

The 1986 film Stand by Me is less of a blockbuster more of a classic, and in so many ways. A breakout cast with names that today are instantly recognisable, this is a coming-of-age film directed by Rob Reiner but it is based on Stephen King's 1982 novella The Body Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell are the four boys who head off to search for a Body. Stephen knows it we...

Pulp Fiction, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino is one hell of a classic in so many ways. Starring John Travolta in his comeback role alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. It's funny, witty, brutal, and an all round great watch - but what will Trev think? He's watching for the first time while Stephen picks up new things on his hundredth go-arou...

Die Hard is NOT a Christmas Movie - Or is it? That's a big part of the debate around this brilliant film. Bruce Willis stars as the one man in the wrong place at the wrong time, but can he save the day - and his Marriage??
