Joe invited Brendan McGinley from 54 and 104 to cover him, which gentrified the podcast! It’s par for the course since this film has a house n… black soldier dressing Patton. Joe can’t leave George alone for two seconds, can he? Lets see if it rubs off on Brendan, as they talk about Patton from 1970.

| 159 My Beautiful Laundrette 1985 | 22 Feb 2023 | 01:00:41 | |
This is 1985 London. Thatcher is PM and immigrants are resented. (Unlike today's UK where immigrants are resented but Thatcher is dead.) In this environment, a Pakistani Alex Keaton does the nasty with a white British Boyz N The Hood sort of fella.

| 137 The Boys from Brazil (1978) | 07 Sep 2022 | 00:44:26 | |
They’re boys, they’re from Brazil and they’re the spitting image of their, uh, dad? No, dad isn’t the right word here. Anyway, Nazi Hunter Laurence Oliver is hot on the trail. The question is, do our boys, George and Joe GAF?

It’s the classic shark meets beach. Shark eats beachgoers. Shark gets hunted.

| 134 Alien 1979 with guest Kit Nowokunski | 17 Aug 2022 | 01:14:58 | |
It’s the movie that kicked off Sigourney Weaver’s career and launched way too many sequels, toys, video games and even novels. The boys are positively bursting out of their chests to watch Alien. And Kit Nowokunski helps with the summary, because there’s no way they’re going to let George cover this without them.

It’s the Tina Turner biopic where she goes from being a second class citizen to a star. She lives in Switzerland now so she doesn’t have to watch up close as millions of American women return to that status of second class citizenship. Anyway, the boys discuss the movie.
