All aboard the needle-nosed bugger as we fly perilously to Moss-COW while being pursued by a badger. Yes, it's the ultimate in disaster movies, THE CONCORDE...AIRPORT '79.  Or if you're British AIRPORT '80: THE CONCORDE.

Still Any Good?

62. The Concorde ... Airport '79

It's Christmaaaaaaaaaaas!!! So it's time for our festive film choice.  Well, not OUR choice.  We've ... ummmm ... traded places and allowed our special guest to choose a movie.  So the lovely Simon London has selected 1983's TRADING PLACES.

61. Trading Places (w. Simon London)

For this episode, Rob has gone back to his old friend Brian De Palma for what is widely regarded as his most well-known film about a telekinetic teenage girl, after Carrie.  Yes, it's time to revisit Kirk Douglas in his underpants as we discuss 1978's THE FURY

60. The Fury

Is it safe?  Is it still any good?  We're joined by great comedy writer Matt Owen to talk about everybody's favourite running and dentistry extravaganza, 1974's MARATHON MAN. Enjoy!

59. Marathon Man (w. Matt Owen)

Because Halloween has just been, we thought we'd do our traditional horror double bill.  Join us for the first part, where we venture down the scary passageways of Herbert Lom's brain while wearing Robert Powell's shoes.  Yes, it's 1972's not-Hammer film, ASYLUM.

58. Asylum

2 men have now had some experience with babies, so naturally we're now experts. So what better film to flex our child-rearing muscles at than the 1989 possessed infant laugh extravaganza LOOK WHO'S TALKING.

57. Look Who's Talking

It's that time of year again when we rummage through Roald Dahl's garden shed and revisit a couple of TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED.  This year's selected episodes are charmingly titled THE UMBRELLA MAN and THE STINKER.  Feel free to make up your own jokes about the quality based on these titles.

56. Tales Of The Unexpected (2020)

Come back with us to 1983 as we see if Steve Martin's cranial surgery comedy THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS is as screwy as we remember, or is it all just a bit pointy-pointless?  Let's find out, shall we?

55. The Man With Two Brains

It's a very warm & steamy welcome back to Rob!  And to celebrate his return, he's chosen a film guaranteed to make it awkward for Chris to watch on his phone on the bus.  Yes, it's 1992's BASIC INSTINCT.

54. Basic Instinct

Chris is joined by Betamax Video Club's Rich Nelson to talk about everyone's favourite film where kids talk about toomahs and genitalia.  Well, everyone's film like that from 1990 anyway.  Yes, we revisit the Arnie comedy classic KINDERGARTEN COP.

53. Kindergarten Cop (w. Rich Nelson)

Chris is joined in his dojo* by his podcasting sensei: comedian, writer, actor and generally funny-man, Marek Larwood.  Marek has chosen the 1986 martial arts phenomenon NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER, with its spectacle of karate, rapping, body-popping, skateboarding and acting by people who've never really done acting before.  You really don't want to miss this movie, or indeed this podcast. (*garage)

52. No Retreat No Surrender (w. Marek Larwood)

With Rob still away, we've got another very special guest: it's Julia Raeside, whose here to talk about 1998 Aussie rom-dram DEAD LETTER OFFICE.  Well, we talk a bit about Dead Letter Office, but also Neighbours, Howards Way and Simon Groom's guest house.

51. Dead Letter Office (w. Julia Raeside)

With Rob away on paternity leave, we've dragged in another Rob.  It's the return of My Mum's Seen A Movie host Rob Marland, who has revisited the 1989 miniaturisation and formicide family favourite, HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS.  Is it worth remembering?  Or should it be chucked in a bin bag and dumped at the end of the garden?  Join us and find out.

50. Honey I Shrunk The Kids (w. Rob Marland)

This episode has it all: happy news, no-so-happy news, and two very tired middle aged men talking about the 1989 action/buddy extravaganza,TANGO & CASH. For approximately an hour.  Is it as good as we remember, or has it retrospectively F.U.B.A.R.'d?

49. Tango & Cash

Here, to terrorise your neighbourhood, is our special guest Michael Legge.  Out of all the films in the world, he decided to discuss the Thriller video from 1983.  I suppose after a long period of self-isolation, he has the funk of 40 thousand years.

48. Thriller (w. Michael Legge)

We run the risk of ruining our childhoods by revisiting fondly remembered films. Hosted by Robert Johnson and Christopher Webb.
