Ninja, those famous masked assassins, were everywhere in the mid-80s. In this film they were portrayed by that embodiment of Japan, the blonde haired, blue eyed Michael Dudikoff. Will they eat pizza in a sewer? Are their costumes made out of the US flag? And how can you tell the difference between a Ninja and a 1970s terrorist? Ben and Foz put on black tracksuits and balaclavas to find out if this is stealthy warrior is a shinobi or shinono.

The dreamboat, dream team of the late 80’s, Corey’s Haim and Feldman, went from driving stakes into vampires to driving cars into the ground in this teen comedy. Does anyone else wish Richard Masur and Carol Kane were their parents? Did Corey Feldman ever have decent fashion sense? And will you be shouting ‘Yo, Uncle Phil’ at the screen? Ben and Foz take the theory test to see if it raises the stakes, or if it’s so dead they have to bury it twice. Don't be shy.

Legendary cheapskates, Cannon Films, took a toy advert of a cartoon, and turned it into a live action adventure film. Every penny spent is up on screen, but was every expense spared? Is Mensa man Dolph Lundgren just too smart for the role? How did they smuggle a Yamaha sound chip into Eternia? And why didn’t Monica ever mention this happened in Friends? Join Ben and Foz at Castle Grayskull, to find out if it captures the spirit of a breathtaking Battlecat, or a cowardly Cringer. Don't be shy.

Classic biker drama The Wild One is reimagined for the 90s replacing Harleys with Hondas, and a certain Robert van Winkle taking on the Brando role. But hold on. Isn’t van Winkle better known as Vanilla Ice? This is the film that was supposed to launch Ice as a movie icon. Does Ice rock a camera like a vandal? Can supermodel Naomi Campbell convince as a singer? And isn’t Vanilla considered the most boring of ice cream flavours? Ben and Foz collaborate and listen to see if Ice arrives with a brand new invention, or will he melt under pressure. Don't be shy.

Oscars 2016 Special. The guys got together to cast a Spotlight on this year’s Best Film nominees… based only on the trailer. If you cast both Tom Hardy and Domhnall Gleason, would it guarantee a nomination? Coming back from the dead is it better be The Martian or The Revenant? Will there be Room for a Brooklyn Bridge of Spies? And will The Big Short starring Christian Bale turn one of our hosts into Mad Max? Join Ben and Foz as they assess the candidates to see who will take home a little golden man, and who deserves the wooden spoon. Don't be shy.

Just before hitting the big time in Friends, Matt LeBlanc starred as a wannabe gangster in this crime drama. LeBlanc perfectly embodied Joey, so it might be difficult to accept him in a serious role. Will Lou Rawls break into song? Will anyone from the Sopranos make an appearance? And would it be a better film if it starred Joey Tribbiani? Ben and Foz order in a calzone to see if LeBlanc’s last pre-Friends work is more Mac & Cheese or Mac & Me. Don't be shy.

The original Highlander is an 80’s classic. Cool, stylish and exciting, with a rocking Queen soundtrack. It’s the best ever Scottish, swordsman show on the silver screen. However, 1991’s Highlander 2 does not have a Queen soundtrack, and seems to be largely ignored by everyone. Has Christopher Lambert’s accent improved? Does b-movie legend Michael Ironside, put in a career best performance? And will Sean Connery channel his inner bagpipes? Ben and Foz travel through time to find out if it’s an unsung prince of the universe, or should there be only one. Don't be shy.

A-list movie star Nicholas Cage is an Oscar winning, BAFTA nominated actor. Much loved character actor Ron Perlman has a Golden Globe. So, what are they both doing in a Game of Thrones knock-off? Does Nicolas deliver a cagey performance? Can Ron Perlman do a decent job, without being hidden by make up? And why does the, largely, British cast insist on using American accents? Join Ben and Foz as they find out if this medieval road movie is more Nic & Ron’s Excellent Adventure, or a cartwheeling Bogus Journey. Don't be shy.
