So, it's 1941. War has kicked off in Europe. It's Friday night and you're going to the movies. You could go to Citizen Kane by that upstart Orson Wells. Or you could go to the John Ford movie. What to see, WHAT to see. Craig and Mike delve into this Oscar winning classic from 1941. It was a different time with different values. Enjoy!
Welcome to 2021 everyone! Here's hoping 2021 isn't the complete dumpster fire with nothing but pineapple topping pizza that was 2020. So did you think Hollywood had officially struck rock bottom when they turned out the board game based Battleship in 2012? Despite it being a bit of guilty pleasure for one of the hosts, sound off in the comment section with your guess as to which one. Hollywood had actually tried the board game to bored audience ruse nearly 30 years earlier to similar results. It...
So 2020 is coming to a close and what would the perfect Christmas film for 2020 be? Eyes Wide Shut is the perfect cap off for an undisputed terrible year. EWS (As fans call it)is the most bonkers Christmas film ever made by one of the most influential film makers of all time. Is it Christmas in the film? Sure but is it a good time? Christmas Craig and Merry Mike discuss.
When you absolutely positively want a mash up of Highnoon and the French Connection with some sweet, sweet post Bond Sean Connery accept nothing other than this masterpiece(?) from 1981. This week Craig and Mike unpack Outland!
It's 2020 and although real life is pretty scary at the moment, at least it doesn't have ass blasting murderous worms and spiders as big as dish plates that'll kill you dead. Yet. I mean there's a whole 3 months left in 2020, so who knows?! So while you still can, sit back, relax, don't check under that pillow that just moved, ignore the wild life running past your window covered in blood and book in to get your eyebrows threaded and enjoy Craig and Mike's take on these two season appropriate sc...
Do you like murderous teenage girl cliques that have an awful lot to say about the state of affairs in American HIghschools in the 80's? Have you meet my friend Heathers? I think you'll get a long. Craig and Mike dive deep on this 1989 satirical film and come out wondering was it Very or not?
It was one of the biggest film of 1992. It still holds the crown as the best selling movie soundtracks of all time. That's not to mention it is one of the best selling albums of all time. You know the single this movie produced , you've probably attended at least one wedding were someone drunkenly belted out a rendition of this song. It's Whitney Houston's film debut and it is absolute peak Kevin Costner. So there will be absolute loads for Craig and Mike to unpack. It is the Bodyguard.
Do you really like that late 90's thriller? Do you wish it had been fad that never went away? Well...It didn't really. It just went streaming and movie the week. But this, this is arguably its ultimate form. Jodie Foster headlines this all star cast including Forest Witaker, the criminally under used Dwight Yoakham, a pre-Twilight fame Kirsten Stewart and immune to ravages of time, Jarred I'm a vampire Leto. Enjoy!
That's 30 episodes people! 30 mostly full episodes! We've made it. Do we get a prize now? Please join Mike and Craig as they talk about the podcast and the shows they have done to date.
The barely famous lost episode! Back in mid 2018 Craig and Mike recorded a series of podcasts in where they more or less learned how to record and edit podcasts. These really early episodes were recorded with a tin can microphone on to a 80's era boombox. Don't kid yourselves folks, They didn't sound that great. By the time they released their first podcast they realized some of their early efforts, weren't very good. So they set about re-recording them. In fact some episodes were re-recorded mu...
So 2016, what a year. Brexit happened. We lost lost Prince, David Bowie, George Michael, Carrie Fisher and Mohammed Ali! At the cinema we had a bunch of super hero films and movie that encapsulates it all Ghostbusters 2016! AND NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED! Mike and Craig decide for better or worse to take on Ghostbusters 2016 for their 30th podcast. Enjoy and sound off in the comments. Or on social media. Which I am told is a thing.
Hi Y'All. Once again let's address the serious stuff up front. We're all likely going through some form of lock down right now. Social distancing is one of our most effective ways of dealing with the CoVID19 global pandemic. When we posted the last episode there were some 2.1 million officially reported cases worldwide now there's 3.5 million and hundreds of thousands tragically dead and it is sadly not over yet The impact of CoVID19 on our daily lives will be felt for generations to come. So on...
Hi Y'All. Lets address the serious stuff up front. We're all likely going through some form of lock down right now. Social distancing is one of our most effective ways of dealing with the CoVID19 global pandemic. With at posting this episode some 2.1 million officially reported cases and a tragic number of dead worldwide and its only just starting to slowdown in some regions. The impact of CoVID 19 on our daily lives will be felt for generations to come. With some of you either being affected by...
Right at the top Craig and Mike recorded this episode at the beginning of March and sharp listeners might be able to hear Craig coughing in the back ground, He was sick a few weeks before recording. Obviously the world has changed dramatically since then. With many people losing their lives and livelihoods to COVID-19 Pandemic. Mike and Craig record separately, on opposite sides of the planet and they edit the tracks together in post so they'd just like to advise they ABSOLUTELY practiced good s...
Have you ever wanted to watch James Caan mumble his way through 2 hours of metaphor upon metaphor? Mike and Craig dive deep on all the layers of this 1970's dystopian sci-fi pic. You're so welcome!
Hello faithful listener. We are back baby, with another mini-pod just in time for the Oscars! Aren't you all just so lucky.
It's time. The movie that practically inspired this podcast. Alien 3. In space, they'll hear you scream in frustration. This month Mike and Craig dive deep on the 3 entry to the original 4 Alien films.
Tis the season to be jolly. So settle down, tune in and submit to our holiday season special episode! This year we bring you the joy of Scrooged! You lucky devils. Also this marks the 3rd Bill Murray film we've covered. So over 10% of our podcast is Bill Murray inspired. Make of that what you will. Enjoy!
Well that's 2019 nearly done! Craig and Mike wrap some up their favorite film and TV experiences as best they can. Surprisingly for two guys who have a movie podcast they haven't seen many new movies that over lap. Thanks to all of you for listening this year and keep your eyes peeled for special Christmas episode coming very soon.
The winner of 2008's Best Picture Oscar, Slumdog Millionaire is surely not wallowing in mediocrity?! Well it does have a heap of questions surrounding its legitimacy, not to mention the treatment and handling of the youngest stars. So this week Craig and Mike delve into this critical and financial success to see if it is in fact verging on greatness.
Halloween double feature?! It doesn't get any more season appropriate than that. Well, maybe if Elvira was narrating it but I digress. Two films, one more widely know than the other and both equally scary...Well one is just a lot more fun and the other induces vomiting from motion sickness...Which is scary. This Halloween Craig and Mike dive into the The Blair Witch Project and The Blob remake from way back in 88! It's all just spooky possums!
In 2003 Sofia Coppola did what no one had managed to do before. Make you believe that Scarlett Johansson could fall for Bill Murray. That's the magic of Hollywood I guess. Join Mike and Craig as they discuss this Oscar winning classic(?).
Is the 1999 winner for best picture deserved of any of the praise it gets? Does Gwyneth deserve the Oscar for best Actress? Will the Finnes brothers make more films where they steal Colin Firths love interest? One can only hope.
What do you get when you make a stereotypical sports film but instead of sports you have competitive collegiate acapella and you cast it with the most charming actress on the planet Anna Kendrick? This. Sit down, kick back, fall into key and find your beat with Craig and Mike as they find away to kick it into the chorus. Or something. Honestly I couldn't sing a note in key to save my life.
Craig and Mike with special guest and self proclaimed HNiC (Head Nerd in Charge)Kieran discuss 2009's The Watchmen. We had a good time and we hope you will too.
Based on the novel of the same name and totally not the cult classic BattleRoyale, Craig and Mike discuss the 2012 smash hit the Hunger Games.
Craig and Mike offer their opinions on the 2011 Oscar winning film The Help. Maybe they wind up eating a little sweet pie. Maybe they don't who knows?! Like and subscribe, also don't forget to tell us what you'd like to hear us talk about.
Sometimes the films wallow some times they soar and we just want and excuse to talk about great films. This was one of those times. On a side note, not being first hand familiar with New York city till just recently I really appreciate how tight the geography of this movie is and that only makes me like it more.
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself; What if the Avengers were set in a steam punk Victorian England with Sean Connery kicking all kinds of arse? Well we did so we watching The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. You're welcome.
Mike and Craig lay down their first ever MiniPod and it's a little bit of a departure from their tried and tested format. Craig has managed, for the first time ever to watch all the Best Picture nominated films before the big night and Mike hasn't watch a single one...This aught to be good. Right at the top some corrections and apologies. Craig name drops Ice-T when he is talking about the NWA biopic Compton but he is clearly talking about Ice Cube and doesn't want to restart any 90's East coast...
