Double Impact

165 - This week we are going on a journey through time and space, from Eternia, to New Jersey, and back again. That's right, it's MASTER'S OF THE UNIVERSE week, and we couldn't be more excited. It's good vs evil, Fate vs Destiny, and Dolph vs Pants. In this ep we of course take a deep into the origin story of not just this film, but He-Man himself, as well as all of the segments you have come to expect, with a special nod to the greatest toys of 1987. So join us as we unpack this weeks movie: Masters of The Universe.CALLING ALL FRIENDS OF THE SHOW - we have created a new Facebook group to continue the conversation, join us hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

164 - We get it, Terminator: Dark Fate probably isn't your favourite Terminator movie, but it is fascinating to talk about for a whole bunch of reasons. First, it's an Arnold movie. Second, Second, we get to dig into how and if this thing works as THE third Terminator movie, or just another one. Third, it's Lat Pack Past & Present, so we are talking about this movie as an 80s and 90s action movie comparison point - that's what it's all about, baby!!! We love this episode, we hope you do too!CALLING ALL FRIENDS OF THE SHOW - we have created a new Facebook group to continue the conversation, join us hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

163 - Welcome to the first episode of our new mini-series "Lat Pack: Past & Present" - we couldn't be more excited! Our first cab off the rank takes us to 1987, with The Running Man. Part Stephen King Sci-Fi, part Lat Pack pop-cultural icon, this film takes us to the dark future of 2017, where the dangers of television and the media have reached their logical conclusion: Hunting humans in tights.

162 - We LOVE a vulnerable Stallone, and this might the great man at his most vulnerable - does that make it his best performance? But thats not all, we have a dishevelled Liotta and a moustachioed De Niro. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. Harvey Keitel, Robert Patrick, Cathy Moriarty, Anna Sciorra, Janeane Garofalo, Michael Rapport, Edie Falco, Frank Vincent, Debbie Harry... the list goes on. The cast is STACKED, but does that make it good? Well it certainly doesn't hurt. Join us as we dive into the oft-overlooked late 90s gem.CALLING ALL FRIENDS OF THE SHOW - we have created a new Facebook group to continue the conversation, join us hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

161 - Sorry for the delay folks, but we are BACK! Just in time to post an episode about Top Gun like every other movie podcast did last week... But hey, this is different - We go deeper, we pull at all the threads, we leave no stone unturned. We break down the origin story, the soundtrack, the beach volleyball, the legacy, the beach volleyball, and ultimately evaluate how it holds up in the roaring 2020s.

Greg is off enjoying his 40th birthday week! so it's a re-release this week, but a timely... time(?) to catch up on the OG Ghostbusters episode. It was only a matter of time before we covered this 80s icon. When we talk about revisiting the movies that impacted us as kids, they don't make them much bigger than this - but it's easy to take for granted the beautiful absurdity of this movie getting made in the 80s, when big budget special effects comedy was simply unheard of. We of course dive deep into this film's rich origin story, as well its cultural legacy today - but perhaps most importantly, we dive into the tin-foil-hat-wearing-lovable-crackpot that is Dan Aykroyd and his obsession with ghosts and aliens that made this movie possible in the first place.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

158 - Ghostbuster sequels used to be rare. Slime, Vigo, Annie Potts with a new haircut - but how does it compare to the original - and indeed, to the more recent sequel attempts?

157 - FINALLY WE DID IT! Apologies for the delay folks, on our classic Rom Com debut of all episodes. We know there is a very vocal pocket of our audience that have been asking for more films like this one, and we listened - we just took way too long in actually getting to it! Well here it is, When Harry Met Sally. Hope you enjoy! PS. Genuinely sorry for the delay gang. Turns out moving overseas, finding a new job and apartment takes a fair amount of work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Re-release - The movie that propelled Tom Hanks into the big time, as it were. It's also a movie that raises many questions in 2021. So... let's unpack it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on InstagramJoin our Friends of the Show Facebook GroupFollow us on TikTok

Yes this was supposed to be When Harry Met Sally week, but due to some cross-global issues, we haven't been able to record this week. So why not pull back an old episode we recorded pre-pandemic. Such a simpler time. And it Ghost, it's a New York love story. Its basically a Rom Com, Or Rom Horror? Who knows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

155 - It's Week 2 of our New York mini-series. Last week we covered all of Manhattan, this week, we are zooming in on a little street by the name 'Wall'. It's got it all, Sushi, Pasta, at the same time - such was the excess of late-80s capitalism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

154 - Would you say New York City is sort of a main character in this film? YES! This is the first in our New York-based mini-series to celebrate our first episode recorded on opposite ends of the earth. Tristan is in NYC and Greg is in Sydney, and let's be honest, you can probably tell. It's a little lo-fi as we are back on our old amateur recording gear for the next couple of weeks - sorry! Things will get better in the coming weeks! YIPPEE KI YAY!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Follow us on InstagramJoin our Friends of the Show Facebook GroupFollow us on TikTok

153 - Out of Sight. This is one of those movies you kinda forget exists, but it sits snuggly in the post-Tarantino / pre-2000s window, with the aesthetic to match. Join us for our last recording in-person before we go global, and we recorded it months ago... so beware outdated topical references...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
