Ben Phillips & Matt Waters present 25 of their favourite films one decade at a time (don't ask about the decade order)
In an effort to go out with a bang, Ben and Matt recorded in person for the first time and invited a special guest in the form of Ben's partner Alex, leading to some fun bickering about When Harry Met Sally.
Naturally one of the most important movies about racism in America requires deep discussion of how IMDb works, sneaker culture and villains of the Far Cry games...
What's the bigger mystery here: How this movie ended up on our Best of the 80s list, or what the heck these spices from the Algarve could possibly be? We can only answer one of them for you!
Somewhere in amidst this thorough examination of American financial systems, European travel and outdated dollar denominations there's some chat about Midnight Run, we promise.
The Christmas Season can officially kick off because it's Die Hard time, and you've never heard Matt so excited. Lets talk set design, 80s henchmen, Alan Rickman's devastating good looks and obviously Circle Theory.
Isn't it weird how we made it 95 episodes of a movie podcast without any animation? Well, there's a good reason for that which Ben will explain...
(Another episode impacted by the weird audio sync so we'll be talking over each other without realising. Edited out as much as we could. Sorry!)
Another year, another satirical masterpiece from Paul Verhoeven that some very dumb people insist isn't political. This time it's RoboCop, so plenty of discussion of the hyper-violence, police commentary and of course Judge Dredd.
Yeah, yeah, discussion points, tangents, Woody Woodpecker, all that jazz. But the real main event of this episode is The (never to be played again) Nicolas Cage Genre Game Spectacular!!!

Join us on a surreal exploration of the id of David Lynch, with plenty of discussion of Twin Peaks, Matt's time in film school and the Community movie, obviously.
Is this the best Hollywood production of all time? Let's find out and also talk theme parks, video games, re-castings and The Power of Love, but somehow not Rick and Morty.

Astonishingly this was Ben's first time with one the most iconic movies of the 80s and he certainly has some thoughts for unapologetic superfan Matt to parse.

For many years Ben has had to suffer in private as Matt expressed his preference for this movie over its more iconic sequel. Now his suffering can end as the pair take things public for a fun discussion of the entire franchise and occasionally remember to cover the actual movie.

Was this movie picked purely so that Matt could unleash a multi-year rant about Cobra Kai? Potentially! But while we're here we might as well talk about 80s pop culture, the 2010 Remake and various sitcom references.

Apologies again for the Gremlins in the audio, but it's only fitting as we discuss the deep lore of the chaotic critters, and get very silly with voice acting trivia. References!

Two white guys talking about how much they love Ghostbusters? On a podcast?! Whatever next? Well, listen carefully and you can hear Matt playing defence to preserve his final joke. And maybe you'll have fun along the way!

We did a great job of covering for some behind the scenes drama surrounding this pick. Nothing but professional discussion of manslaughter, blackface and a deep dive into stocks.

Martin Scorsese in the 80's? Obviously it's time to talk about Robert De Niro! And stand-up comedy! And boxing! Oh... well, two out of three ain't bad! Yes, we chose Rupert Pupkin over Jake LaMotta. Feel free to yell about it.

Is Deckard a Replicant? What stupid thing did Matt do at midnight? How has he managed to make yet another episode about Batman the Animated Series? We've got answers to all these questions and more!
