THE BIG 4-0

Ron David

110 episodes

3 days ago

This is a podcast called THE BIG 4-0 with Ron and Peter. Every week we take a look at a seminal - or maybe not so seminal - movie that came out this week, 40 years ago. Some we love, some we hate, some we've never seen before, some we haven't seen in over 30 years, and some we wish we'd never seen. We discuss the film, its critical and commercial reception, and how that (and our) perception has perhaps shifted over the years. We also touch on any noteworthy current films and movie news in each episode. So, breakout the birthday cake (and a few beers) and join us for THE BIG 4-0!

AMERICAN NINJA / AFTER HOURS / SUMMER RENTAL (and BONUS reviews of many other movies!)

After last week's break, THE BIG 4-0 returns to wish a happy belated birthday to John Candy's (first) bid to carve out a career as the slapsticky dad in the bumbling vacation comedy SUMMER RENTAL. We also wish an early happy BIG 4-0 to Martin Scorsese's one-night-tapped-in-SoHo surrealist dramady, AFTER HOURS. And, of course, this week's birthday boy is none other than The Koff (as we like to call him) in the omnipresent video-store-shelf slice of 1980s action cheese, AMERICAN NINJA. Ron and Peter also touch on a bevy of other films, including recent releases SINNERS, WEAPONS, NOBDY 2, HAPPY GILMORE 2, and THE NAKED GUN (reboot/legacy sequel), as well as a handful of older films including COUPLES RETREAT, REVENGE, and THE CHASE. Please remember to Rate, Like, and Subscribe, and we'll be back in two weeks with a banger BIG 4-0 birthday line-up: COMMANDO, INVASION USA, and JAGGED EDGE! Happy Labor Day, everybody!
