Greg Kearney, Tristan Burrelldouble-impact.simplecast.com
Tristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids from down under, on a mission to re-watch every movie that meant something from their childhood. Each episode they review a 'classic' film from the 80s or 90s, and determine how it stacks up in the modern era. ...They use the term 'classic' loosely.

Hard Target (John Woo, 1993)

080 - It's JCVD week again, and we are re-visiting his second movie from 1993 - Hard Target. This movie is HISTORIC, not just for the mullet, or the motorbike surfing, or rattlesnake-punching, but it's also the first Hollywood studio picture to be helmed by an Asian director. That's right, it's John Woo, in his first American picture, and while he doesn't fully unleash the Woo, his trademarks are all over this thing. Plus Wilford Brimley is in this, what else do you want? So join us as we unpick...

Mars Attacks! (Tim Burton, 1996)

079 - We hit the other end of the Burton spectrum this week, with 1996's Mars Attacks! This film capped off an incredible hot streak for the auteur - he had become the hottest director in town and could make anything he gosh-darn wanted. Need proof? Just look at this cast, it is STACKED. Too long to list here so we won't even try. This film was also Burton's first big flop, and would prove to become the first speed bump on what went on to be a much bumpier career from this point on. But what abo...

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg, 1981)

078 - Geez Louise it's a big movie this week. A sibling to Star Wars, and the love child of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg - we are of course talking about 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark. We delicately dust-off this cultural artefact with the thorough cultural lens that you've come to expect - from origin story through to legacy, we pull this thing apart and put it back together with all the care of a ruggedly handsome 1940s archeologist. We also recorded wayyyy past our bed times - so format...

Men at Work (Emilio Estevez, 1990)

077 - We are hitting a deep cut this week, the 1990 'black comedy' with a double dose of Sheen/Estevi, Men at Work. Join us as we crack open this time capsule and feast on the goo inside - breaking down the film's origin story, plot, legacy and a good old-fashioned deep dive on the Sheen family (and that delightful Keith David - did you know he was the voice of Spawn? How good!). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on Instagram Join our Friends of the Show Facebook Gro...

The Sandlot (David Mickey Evans, 1993)

076 - This one is a bit of a nostalgia bomb; a 90's movie set in the 60s? That's double dose of nostalgia - and this movie doesn't hold back - it's 1993's The Sandlot. We have been wanting to rewatch this one for.ev.er, and here we are. This is actually one of the smallest movies we have ever covered if you look at box office, but if you look at cultural significance, this thing was HUGE! Even all the way down here in Australia (where it was called The Sandlot Kids). For a lot of us, it's how we...

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

075 - The 90's brought us a new wave of horror movies that went on the redefine the genre. The 90's also brought us this movie... I Know What You Did Last Summer. Despite seeming like an inferior cash-in on the craze created by the more critically and commercially successful, Scream, this movie was written by the same gosh darn guy! So there's that. But just why doesn't this movie hit the heights of the aforementioned Wes Craven masterpiece? We'll tell you why - join us as we dive into the surpr...

Face / Off (John Woo, 1997)

074 -While it's not our first Nic Cage movie, nor is it our first John Travolta movie, it IS the first movie we have covered where these two guys switch faces. It's also our first John Woo movie, in what was really his first US opportunity to fully unleash the Woo. Needless to say, we are excited. While this movie gets quite a bit of airtime in 90s-action-movies-of-excess conversation - and often gets lumped into a 'so bad it's good' category of film - we would argue otherwise. Face / Off is 'so...

Office Space (Mike Judge, 1999)

073 - It’s our first foray into the wonderfully ordinary world of Mike Judge with 1999’s Office Space. We’ve been wanting to this one for a while, and it definitely hits differently as an adult office worker than it did as a free spirit teen - the sterile yet foreign horror of the titular office space, now all too familiar to our wounded workplace souls. So join us for what feels a little like group therapy, with all the usual stops along the way: origin story, plot breakdown, legacy, verdict an...
