| 125. Dancer In The Dark (w. Yvonne Lorkin) | 28 Aug 2024 | 01:27:08 | |
Get out your little jetto blasters and join us. We're very lucky to be joined by the excellent writer and producer Yvonne Lorkin who - knowing this is a light-hearted fun show - has chosen 2000's DANCER IN THE DARK. We might have drunken wine during the recording. Warning: may contain some gallows humour. | |||
| 124. Swingers | 12 Aug 2024 | 01:15:51 | |
Podcast, baby! Sip cocktails with us as we take you back to 1996 for some lounging, dancing, and slightly annoying insecurity. It's time for SWINGERS, but is it money? | |||
| 115. The Rocketeer | 20 Feb 2024 | 01:15:26 | |
Strap on your fiery back-packs and flame-retardant trousers, and join us as we take to the skies for the 1991 adventure THE ROCKETEER. Go get it, kid! | |||
| 27. Creepshow | 12 Nov 2018 | 00:37:25 | |
What happens when two masters of horror decide to work together? Well, when it's Stephen King and George A Romero, you get a zany anthology featuring Leslie Nielsen, a tiny Ted Danson, and an un-bald Ed Harris ... dancin'. Yes, get under the duvet, it's the 1982 horror comic CREEPSHOW. Music as ever is kindly provided by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 26. Piranha II - Flying Killers | 09 Nov 2018 | 00:43:17 | |
In between discussions about developing an 80's style TV show called Caribbean Heat and learning Thom Yorke's favourite flavour of crisps, Rob and Chris manage to have a chat about James Cameron's debut blockbuster, PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING. There's blood, death, nudie bits and a hell of a lot of flying grunions. Music as ever comes from The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 25. Smokey And The Bandit | 21 Oct 2018 | 01:01:02 | |
Get your cowboy hats on, start up the Trans-Am and get ready to talk a load of CB bollocks, good buddies! It's time to hear what Rob and Chris thought of the Burt Reynolds 1977 car chase blockbuster SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT. | |||
| 24. Tales Of The Unexpected (2018) | 27 Sep 2018 | 00:57:16 | |
To celebrate International Roald Dahl Day - which was blimmin' ages ago - Rob and Chris have decided to look back at a couple of episodes of TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED. Bet you never saw that coming! Chris has opted for the deliciously fun LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER, while Rob thought it would be more fun to upset everyone with the incredibly disturbing THE FLYPAPER. So get in a comfy fireside chair, put a funny tray-thing on your lap, and join us. Music kindly provided by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 23. Annie | 13 Sep 2018 | 01:13:22 | |
This week it's Still Any Good: The Musical as we sing, dance, and holler "Punjaaaaaab!" while discussing the pinnacle of John Huston's career, ANNIE. We also find the time to come up with the perfect 1930's crime-fighting duo, | |||
| 22. Darkman | 02 Sep 2018 | 01:08:08 | |
Chris gets a bit giggly after having one whole beer and some cough medicine, while Rob looks very dapper in his Disney pajamas. It is in this condition that we discuss the Sam Raimi superhero vigilante film DARKMAN, the originator of the 'Liam Neeson angrily twats people' franchise. | |||
| 21. City Slickers | 03 Aug 2018 | 01:10:57 | |
To celebrate our first Birthday, we go back and look at 1991's Billy Crystal equine vehicle CITY SLICKERS. As we give each other the bumps and gorge ourselves on cake, do we think it's passed the test of time, or is it simply a steaming pile of horse shit? Why not listen in and find out! | |||
| 20. Willow | 11 Jul 2018 | 01:07:03 | |
Before the total trousers of SOLO, little Ronny Howard and big George Lucas teamed up for 1988's fantasty adventure WILLOW. As well as acting as an introductory service for Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley, it seems to have influenced everyone from Peter Jackson to Tone Loc. And hats off to Lucas: he's given us two characters that are even more annoying than the lovechild of Jar Jar Binks and an Ewok. Our music, as ever, is kindly provided by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 19. Digby, The Biggest Dog In The World | 20 Jun 2018 | 00:51:13 | |
Diiiiiig-beeeee .... We managed to get through this by imagining that DIGBY THE BIGGEST DOG IN THE WORLD is a prequel to 28 Days Later and that all involved were horrifically slaughtered by the Infected. So we ask: is it still any good? Or is Digby actually The Shittest Film In The World? Music provided by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 18. Body Double | 24 May 2018 | 01:15:25 | |
Barry Norman called Brian De Palma's BODY BOUBLE "damn near pornographic". One of us thinks it's tour-de-force cinema, while the other believes it to be tittilating cobblers. Which of us is right? Find out in our latest episode. Warning: This podcast contains middle aged men giggling at rudies. Music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 114. First Blood (w. Alan Stuart) | 25 Jan 2024 | 00:50:04 | |
Don't "keep pushin' me". Instead, please push the 'play' button and listen to our latest episode. We're joined by Alan Stuart, who has chosen the 1982 action thriller that launched a questionable franchise: FIRST BLOOD. | |||
| 17. Escape To Victory | 03 May 2018 | 00:58:28 | |
Johnson talks to Webb-y, his knees have gone all trembly! Join us both as we assist the Allied POWs to escape by doing bicycle kicks, saving penalties and doing some standard Caine shoutery. Yes, it's the John Huston 1981 "war is hell, and so is football" extravaganza ESCAPE TO VICTORY. As ever, our music has been kindly provided by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 16. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure | 05 Apr 2018 | 01:18:55 | |
Travel back in time with us to 1989 as we revisit the comedy BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE. As well as proving we really don't have a clue about how time travel works, we also corpse for a ridiculously long amount of time (it's been edited). Party on ... ummm ... dudes. | |||
| 15. Twin Town | 11 Mar 2018 | 01:06:06 | |
Because Rob had a New Zealand special, Chris stuck out his bottom lip and demanded a Welsh movie too. Out of the 3 or 4 to choose from, he went for 1997's TWIN TOWN. Is it as good as he remembered? Or is it a total mess of a film that's essentially an avalance of f-words; basically an excuse for an Allen family reunion? Why not listen and find out for yourselves! Theme music by The Sonic Jewels, whose guitarist is also Welsh. | |||
| 14. Invaders From Mars | 25 Feb 2018 | 01:23:59 | |
We find out what happened when the director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre met the creator of Alien and made a kids' film. Turns out it was a fair amount of dodgy acting and a lot of neck-fannies. Join Rob and Chris as we do battle with Tobe Hooper's INVADERS FROM MARS. Music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 13. Bad Taste | 05 Feb 2018 | 01:09:18 | |
For part 2 of our New Zealand Special, we go back to where it all began for 'our' Peter Jackson with 1987's BAD TASTE. In a film where the best performance comes from a cardboard cut-out of Paul McCartney, Rob fell asleep while watching it, so Chris does most of the jabbering. By the time we got to record part 2, we'd had a few drinks so we mainly sound like slightly tired bitter old men. | |||
| 12. Once Were Warriors | 05 Feb 2018 | 01:05:48 | |
In the first part of our New Zealand Double Bill, Rob & Chris re-visit the hard-hitting 1994 classic ONCE WERE WARRIORS. Warning, we swear quite a bit in this one. | |||
| 11. The First Great Train Robbery | 10 Jan 2018 | 01:04:23 | |
The heist movie that has everything: trains, murder, toupees, a dead cat, and more nob gags than you can shake a veiny bang stick at. Yes, it's the Crichton/Connery romp THE FIRST GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY. | |||
| 10. Santa Claus: The Movie | 24 Dec 2017 | 00:49:46 | |
And just in the (Saint) nick of (Christmas) time, Chris & Rob take a nostalgic sleigh-ride to the North Pole for the 1985 cult fave SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE. Starring Dudley Moore as a vivacious Vendegum, The Big Lebowski as Santa, and John Lithgow as the Lex Luthor of the toymaking world, you'll be transported to a time when film-makers thought they could get away with ludicrous notions like giving Santa Claus the Superman treatment (right down to the colon.) Come walk through a Winter wonderland with us and find out if this is still any good! | |||
| 9. Innerspace | 30 Nov 2017 | 01:10:40 | |
Rob & Chris discuss the perils of being forcibly inserted into another man's bottom in INNERSPACE. Join us as we look back on a roller-coaster of thrills, laughs and some very out-dated attitudes to women. But don't worry, we still find time to audition for Stars In Their Eyes as Massive Attack. Our own theme music is by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 8. Strictly Ballroom | 14 Nov 2017 | 00:46:02 | |
Get on your dancing shoes, you sexy little swines! Take a spin with Rob and Chris on the dancefloor as we revisit the Australian classic STRICTLY BALLROOM. And if that's not enough you can find out if Rob ever had blonde hair, or if Chris can handle a Gay Gordon. Theme music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 113. Pretty In Pink (w. Joel Morris) | 10 Jan 2024 | 01:09:20 | |
aka We Need To Talk About Duckie. We're joined by the Emmy nominated writer Joel Morris, who has selected "a girls' film", the 1986 teen romantic drama PRETTY IN PINK. We chat about the music, the romance, the uncomfortable stalking, ... | |||
| 7. Pet Sematary | 30 Oct 2017 | 00:48:51 | |
Get under your duvets for the second part of our Halloween Special. Amongst some decidedly average impersonations of Jimmy Stewart and Morrissey, Rob & Chris find the time to discuss Stephen King's PET SEMATARY. Disclaimer: Despite what you may hear, Chris really is a massive Stephen King fan. Music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 6. Fright Night | 29 Oct 2017 | 00:39:02 | |
The first part of our spooky horror double bill special. Rob & Chris whip out their holy water and do battle with the evil vampires of 1985's FRIGHT NIGHT. Naturally, Evil Ed's questionable subsequent career gets discussed. You're so cool, Sagpod! Music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 5. Deathtrap | 09 Oct 2017 | 00:39:33 | |
Join us for the twisty-turny thrill ride that is DEATHTRAP. This week, Rob speaks Latin and Chris uses a really impressive long word. As well as all that we discuss the merits of Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve and Dyan Cannon. Well, two out of three isn't bad. While we're at it, we also come up with a new franchise opportunity for Ken Loach. Music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 4. Highlander | 21 Sep 2017 | 00:47:08 | |
In the end, there can be only one podcast ... and this is it. This week for some reason we switch our usual roles, with Rob doing the impersonations and Chris banging on about Star Wars. So gather with us as we rediscover the sword-related antics of an eternal Scotsman and his Egyptian/Spanish chum. And we're definitely NOT cruising for a piece of ass. Theme music by The Sonic Jewels. | |||
| 3. The Big Bus | 07 Sep 2017 | 00:40:04 | |
In our third episode, we get on board THE BIG BUS: A 1976 comedy starring the late Joseph Bologna that seems to have inspired everything from AIRPLANE! to SPEED. A beloved classic from Chris's past, the stakes are high with this one. Will Chris's childhood be ruined? Is it... still any good? Tune in and find out! | |||
| 2. The Mutations | 09 Aug 2017 | 00:44:37 | |
In Episode 2, Chris and Rob take a look at low budget 1974 British-American sci-fi horror "freaksploitation" film THE MUTATIONS (aka THE FREAKMAKER). Is this the least enthusiastic Donald Pleasence performance ever? Is this really directed by Jack Cardiff - one of the best cinematographers of all time? Is this just a feature-length episode of Dr. Who with some boobs in it? Is it okay that Rob first saw this when he was 8 years old - with his mum? Is it... Still any good? | |||
| 1. Krull | 26 Jul 2017 | 00:37:14 | |
In our first episode - which doubles as the inaugural meeting of the Lysette Anthony Appreciation Society - Chris and Rob dissect 80s' sci-fantasy cult classic KRULL to answer the knotty question: Is it still any good? Notable for Rob saying "kind of" a lot and making far too many Star Wars references, and for Chris giving what is possibly the worst Lindsay Crouse impersonation ever recorded. Enjoy! Theme music by The Sonic Jewels | |||
| 112. Eyes Wide Shut | 21 Dec 2023 | 01:18:12 | |

Yes, for this years Christmas Special, we've gone for everybody's heart-warming festive favourite: 1999's EYES WIDE SHUT. Merry Cruisemas!!! | |||

Join us on a magical fantasy adventure as we meet a princess, a big muscly horny devil, elves and various little people (Tom Cruise joke goes here). Our very special guest Michael Féaux Wood has chosen Ridley Scott's 1985 romp, LEGEND. | |||

Find John: Instagram: jaunty.art | |||
