In honour of its recent 20th anniversary, we’re watching the British Zom-Com cult classic; Shaun of the Dead!

The first part of the legendary “Cornetto Trilogy” is beyond a treat, and we’ve got a lot to say about this wonderful film - from the endless and loving homages, and the gore effects to the more tender and loving moments that they managed to weave in, you don’t need foreshadowing to know that we love it!

9:25pm, Halloween Night, 1992 - The BBC aired for the first and only time its Mockumentary “Ghost Watch”, which left audiences across the UK questioning what they had seen.

Exactly 22 years later we are sitting down to watch this Halloween classic that still lives in the memories of those who watched the “live” broadcast. We’re having a good ol’ chinwag on everything this celebrated hoax offers up, from questionable parenting and production choices to genuine scares and top-tier casting - so join the seance, sit down, dim the lights and have a listen!

That’s right we’re back, and kicking things off with something we recorded in the summer but is perfect for this time of year! The not quite full blown horror, not quite Christmas film - Gremlins!

We deep dive into everything from cinematography, practical effects, theories on the in-universe world and the state of cinema at the time of release. It’s a proper examination of an absolute classic, and we settle the big question for once and for all - is this a CHRISTMAS film?

We’re thrilled this week to be covering the first of our fan-chosen films - Flight of the Navigator!

We discuss the irrefutable charm, the still-to-this-day impressive cinematography and effects as well as the sense of adventure and questionable parenting the film provides in spades!

This month we are going on a very nice little nostalgia journey and revisiting one of our favourite films - 1984s GHOSTBUSTERS.

Join us as we delve into our shared love for this absolute gem of a film. Full disclosure - we spend a lot of time praising everything in this film, and we do try to find a couple of things to critique but it's just so hard! So listen in as we go over everything from the sublime comedy, incredible cast, the amazing score and the varying quality of effects!

This week we’re taking a break from the normal format and taking the show on the road! We’re in London's West End at the world famous Prince Charles Cinema for a screening of John Carpenter's “The Thing”!

We discuss the amazing special effects, some of the more baffling choices of equipment for arctic researchers, and Jimmy pretty much just gushes about his favourite film and director. There is a nice little backstory to this film as well that ties into the whole start of the show so there are some nice little takeaways sprinkled throughout! There’s also some references to an idea we had for “Re-MAY-ke” month that never materialized, but maybe next year!

As the film is still yet to be released publicly we couldn’t give too much away in the episode but we are extremely lucky to be joined on the episode by writer, producer, director MW Daniels, and lead actor Charlotte Gould, who take us through the process of creating a short film.

It’s a wonderful exploration of the passion and creativity involved in seeing a project like filmmaking through to completion and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did, or even better: find something to take away from the discussions!

In the final instalment of our “Lost Episode” series, we’re getting very down and dark with Ari Asters MIDSOMMAR. We discuss the beautiful aesthetic and unsettling vibe of the film, as well as some odd choices in effects and ultimately realize that maybe we’re not horror-compatible!!

This week we’re releasing the long-lost episode covering the wonderfully silly, disaster flick - 2012! (A film not known for its quotes).

We originally recorded this around the 1 year anniversary of the show (happy belated birthday to us!), and we had a myriad of issues with the recording from recorders dying and wiping audio from the SD cards to forgetting to hit record! There’s also a host of gimmicks and references from older formats that all come together to make an episode as mad and chaotic as the Apocalypse! So…. enjoy ?

In the second part of our “Lost Episodes” series we’re looking at the original Summer blockbuster and the movie that made swimming scary- JAWS!

This episode was recorded in 2023 around the 1 year anniversary of the show and we spend the first part reminiscing about some favorite parts of the show up until this point! Afterwards, we discuss the immaculate filmmaking employed by Spielberg, its legendary status in film  history and the incredible score (which does sometimes go to odd places).

We’re kicking off our “Lost Episodes” series and going back in our time machine to bring back the best from the vaults!

In this episode we’re covering the 2013 “Evil  Dead” - we chat about the unsettling realism of the gore and effects, how the film (while being very good) is a heavy watch and question whether it could do with a dose of levity like the originals.

You know the rest! 

Just in time for Easter, we’re covering the all-time comedy classic “Life of Brian”. We discuss the worldwide effect of the Monty Python group, the amazing silliness of the film and its genius deconstruction of the themes and subjects of organized religion.

This week we are looking at the wonderfully chilling, British anthology film; “Ghost Stories”, from 2017.

We discuss the evolution of the premise from a stage show to film, the brilliant cast and their performances, why we consider many scenes in this to be some of the most tense put on film (until they aren’t), and dive head first into a raft of theories and ideas on the overall narrative and the endless list of bread crumbs the film leaves for you.

PLEASE NOTE: The after film chat section of this episode contains complete and heavy spoilers for the end of the film, and we strongly recommend that you watch the movie first, to avoid having it ruined!

In this episode, we are covering Terry Gilliam's cult classic adaption of Hunter S. Thompson's “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”!

We discuss the genius of Thompson's writing, the quality of the character work in the film, the wonderful cinematography and the downfall of the Hippie movement - all while having a little too much to drink (a must if properly respecting the good doctor!). This one was a real treat so we hope you enjoy!

That's right! We're back to our regularly scheduled programming and kicking off with another dive into a galaxy far, far, away....

We discuss our opinions on the series, whether Yoda has held up in age, some questionable characterisation choices and drop massive spoilers on a 40-year-old movie! Set your weapons to fun!

This week we’re watching the ridiculously charming, Jim Henson fairytale - Labyrinth.

Outside of the massive love for the creations by Henson Creature Shop, we also cover the amazing soundtrack, beautiful production work, Evil Dead and its modern remakes, and David Bowies' massive…… vocal range. We also ended up pretty hammered by the end, which makes for a good episode, every time!

On this week's episode we’re sitting down with the mid 80’s classic cheese of Re-Animator!

We discuss all of the silliness and gore (and there’s loads of both), its deserved place in the horror comedy pantheon, the Harry Potter films (weirdly), and the surprising quality of the acting for a schlocky genre film.

This episode is a real blast, so Re-Animate your love for us and give it a listen, rate and review on Spotify and Apple podcasts and follow us on your social medias!

Well… maybe not - but like the characters in this film we can certainly pretend! This week we’re watching the plastic perfection that is The LEGO Movie!

We discuss a whole lot in this ep; from the cast, the values of imagination and its subversive themes, to the vastness of LEGO as a business as well as some of its history and how through excellent writing and a whole lot of love and charm, this movie avoids becoming just a 90-minute commercial.

We had a lot of fun on this one and we hope you do too! As always please rate and leave a review wherever you can follow us on our social media channels.

We’re back and we’re kicking off Series 2 with a bang! This week we cover the 1997 action flick CON AIR. We chat about why, in our opinion, cursing and blood make a better action movie, the Alabama drawl, the consistent comedy running through the whole film and our mutual admiration for this stellar cast. Plus all the normal eating, drinking and silliness.

It’s a good old time!!!

Yes; it’s January, Christmas is over and the New Year has started, but it’s better late than never!

We originally recorded this episode as a little present to be released around Christmas Eve. Still, because of a very unfortunate set of circumstances involving Rich and a hospital, the release had to be postponed until now.

So we hope you can look past all of the out-of-date well wishes, and enjoy our Christmas special, where we watch the holiday classic; Home Alone.

Who knows, we might even discover the true meaning of Christmas (We don’t).

We are back from the grave, and to suit this spooky time of year we’re covering a spooky (not really) film! We left the voting of what we cover, up to all you lovely listeners over on Twitter and you blessed us with a wonderful opportunity to rewatch “JASON X” - So thank you!

We spend some time catching up after all this time apart, get very silly on too much sugar from halloween sweets, cover quite a few behind the scenes stories and laugh our asses off at this so bad it's good entry into the iconic series.

As always we really hope you enjoy the episode and stay tuned for some fun things on the horizon through November and December; before Season Two kicks off in 2023!

We discuss the series’ ongoing legacy, how it changed the world we live in, why the changes made in re-releases perhaps aren’t the best idea and loads of behind-the-scenes facts. It’s one of the most fun (drunkest) episodes we have put out, which is fitting for the Season 1 Finale.

We would like to say a huge thank you for all the support so far and looking forward to the Halloween Special, as well as a few other surprises in store before the end of the year, leading to our triumphant return (of the Jedi) in 2023!!

Much Love, R + J

We sift through a huge variety of gaffes, production stories and mishaps and just marvel at how something can be so bad, but so, so good! As is the case whenever you watch this film, we come away with more questions than answers but a big dumb grin on our faces.

This week we hope to welcome you, in the same way as John Hammond, to a fantastical land – that of pure, unadulterated nostalgia - as we sit down and dig into the prehistoric, Steven Spielberg masterpiece, that is JURASSIC PARK!

There is a hell of a lot covered in this episode, so instead of listing some highlights, we’ll let the episode do the talking. Pick up what it’s putting down, put it in your ears and come with us back to the mid-’90s, while we celebrate this landmark film.

Join us as we sit down and chat about our mutual love for the franchise, the incredible use of practical effects on display, marvel at how much Finn Wolfhard got owned by puberty and just revel in all the beautiful nods to the original this film packs in.

We chat about the mind-blowing special effects and how well the film still looks, Arnie as a bad guy vs Arnie as a good guy, Robert Patrick’s stone-cold performance as well as Edward Furlong's portrayal of an angsty punk and just marvel at how awesome this flick is!

This week we sit down, with some delicious BBQ, and watch “The Parapod – A Very British Ghost Hunt”.

We chat about our mutual interest in the paranormal and supernatural, the origins of the podcast the film is based on, the fantastic dynamic between Ian and Barry, the two hosts, and the comedy that comes from it as well as some of the backstories to the locations that they visit in the film!

We were extremely lucky to be joined on this episode by one of the creators, Barry Dodds, who joins us at the end for the Post Film Chat to give us the low down on some of the behind scenes of the film and share his own points of interest in the paranormal.

This episode was just great fun to record and we hope you have a fantastic time listening!

For many people, including us, Scream would definitely be in the conversation if asked that question! So grab your best flannel shirt, lace up those Doc Martins and join us as we go back to 1996 to watch Wes Craven's subversive slasher classic!

We discuss the impact of the film on the genres it redefined, try to keep up with all the winks, nods and references and just try to wrap our heads around the many, many, MANY layers to this meta-fiction perfection - plus Jimmy cooks up an Australian pub grub staple, Chicken Parmis! It’s just a really good time all around!

We had an absolute blast going back and watching this film again and we hope you folks listening have a blast listening to what we had to say about the film!

In this week’s episode; we sit down to watch the phenomenal 1987 flick “The Princess Bride”. The film is described by many people as their favourite film (and with good reason), so we invited our good friend and Princess Bride mega-fan, Veronica, on the show to make sure we do it justice!

We discuss the original book and the quirky history of it’s writing, the fantastic sets, endlessly quotable dialogue, why it is so beloved, the incredible charm of the performances and share more production and behind the scenes facts than you could count on a six fingered hand!

The film follows two unemployed actors who share a flat in Camden Town in 1969. Needing a holiday, they obtain the key to a country cottage in the Lake District, but the weekend holiday proves less recuperative than they expected.

We discuss possible comparisons to “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, how excellent the dialogue and performances are, the endless quotes, the fantastic soundtrack and how hard Jimi Hendrix rocks.

As a warning for the episode, at the end we do speak about themes of addiction, mental health and suicide - so if this might affect you or be upsetting please be aware of the content of this episode.
