We hope you get well soon. Thank you for joining us from your hospital beds. Yes. Sundia.
We're starting something new. Yes. So, we're not doing movies. We are doing movies.
It's not a specific movie. We're going to have a conversation. Like a talk and peace. Like more of a general.
We're going to pick a subject matter. And we're just going to talk about it. Whatever that comes out of it comes out of it. But first, we're going to cover some nerd news.
Yes. The new news. Do do do do do. Oh, yeah.
We need some music for that. Look for nerd news. We need some music. Let's get faves to sing us a song.
Nerd news. Oh, Phoebe, could you? That'd be awesome. Yes.
So we're going to introduce the new sport where if there's no news, we're going to tell you about it. We're going to talk about it. And there was some nerd news last night. Because Netflix decided to drop shit.
No, trailers. Yes. Not just not because a lot of different places are coming. It's been exciting.
It's been something. I'm going to leave the last one to last. The last one to last. The last one to last.
And I'm the whole one here, guys. Yeah. Yeah. I'm crashing so hard right now.
Yeah. I'm going to leave the best one to last. We had first off when Netflix had a generally thought it was like an influencer thing. But it wasn't.
It was a this is what we've got coming out of kind of thing. Yeah. And they dropped a lot of trailers on us. Yeah.
The thing that was a DC did a few years where they couldn't have a convention that had an online convention type thing. So yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Disney did it.
It was just like boom boom. Like it was going to be fantastic for. Yeah. Yeah.
So Netflix did the same thing and they dropped. And first one off the bat. It was one piece. No, it was a quick game.
It was the first one. Because that was when I didn't see that one. Yeah. That's fine.
But this was a lot going on. But this was one because we were watching it and we were like, Oh, I can't remember this one. It was a quick game. So when they had a full dance routine, I was like, okay, is this going to be in the news season?
Yeah. We shall see. Okay. So.
Yeah. So we're going to see. Yeah. Then one piece.
Yeah. Well, we've got to see a Tony Tony. Yeah. Yeah.
The most adorable little. I don't know what he is. I don't want to. It's a friend.
He's a friend. He's a little friend. Yes. Leaping an anime fan could tell us.
Oh, he is a number one anime fan, isn't he? No, he's the Dragon Ball fan. But don't take that away from Jeff. Jesus Christ, you'll kill us all now.
I don't think that's how it works. Yeah. Yeah. So, yes.
So one piece. And then it was confirmed that the Gaga will be in Wednesday, season two, because she did a fucking amazing performance of Avroicadabra. I absolutely. I've watched it about seven times.
It was amazing. What really caught me. Was this whole amazing dance performance is going on with all these amazing, just fantastic. And then General Taeger is sitting at the table and like somebody that's really just pissing us cereal.
Isn't that just the general look she gives me? That's how she acts as like. With how amazing the choreography is. Avroicadabra.
Is that what I'm called? How amazing the choreography is. It would have been unreal if General Taeger just got up at the end and started dancing. It would have been so good.
Yeah. So that we had Wednesday season two, trailer for that came out. We had Harry Gilmore too. I'll be watching it.
I'm not going to lie. It's just not like a shot by shot, re-knake of the first movie to be fair. Yeah. Yeah.
But I can't wait for it. I love an Adam Sandler film and I can't. And it's happy Gilmore. I hope you're not.
We're all the first one. What are you going home? You took it for your home. Yeah.
I love it. And then who else? Who else? Camille O'Dottoro's.
Frankenstein. Frankenstein. Oh, beautiful. I think he's going for my scientist.
He's going for my scientist. He looks amazing. Am I right or wrong? Is a Christian field play in Frankenstein?
I think so. Yeah. I remember the concept art that came out. Because that's all we had up until now was just concept art.
So yeah. Camille O'Dottoro's Frankenstein was going to go into Netflix. Yeah. It's not going to happen.
I've had a lot of people talk and it's not in a bad way. But like, yeah, we're getting into Netflix. We're going to get it soon. It's going to be easily available to us.
But why? You don't know. You don't know what they're offering. I don't know what money they're offering.
Also, I've got great news as well before we get to the big one. Because I know there's no exit as well. But I'll be excited for that because the second one, the glass onion was a bit shit. But I could do that.
But until we get the big news, the big one that we made you both like, knitted out massively for. I've had a little voice in here. Did you know that we've got people in the chat that were in some movies in the eighties? What?
We're not here this. I've just heard it now. I'm going to show the evidence. So here's some photographic evidence of some goonies.
Oh, wow. So there's some people look like I didn't realize this. So we've got an amazing Lee getting like looked after by Phoebe and mother back. I kind of looking after them.
So I see. So that makes it that's news. But also got some more. I got the tool this as well.
So we found out we've got two experts. I've read at pirates treasure map. So look at these two handsome gentlemen. And that map makes it like the team at all in the gonna find some rich stuff.
This is groundbreaking news, by the way. So Christmas face will never look good on anything super. That's us. I just like smoke.
Terry looks as well. Yeah, he's like I can read a map. Sorry. I was going to do that.
I forgot. The Tokyo. It's going to be an interesting. Yeah.
Yeah. The big one. Big one. And now it's because we already knew it was going to happen, but they have given us the release dates for Stranger Things series five.
So volume one comes out November 26. Yes. Volume two comes out Christmas. Yes.
Volume three, the fender. Well, the finale is going to be New Year's Eve. Yes. Holy shit.
The bed. Do you think they're going to do it? If Netflix is smart, I don't know how they would do it. I can't relate to different times around the world.
If they can have the shore ending. At midnight. Well, there's been a lot of there's been a lot of conversation obviously come out of this and I have been up since four o'clock this morning. So I have seen it all.
And people complain that it's too spaced out. People not understanding that it's actually a month and a year that this reading this out over. And also the time. So if it gets released the same time across the world, which is what they are saying, we technically won't get it until Boxing Day.
Yeah. Or New Year's Day. Yeah. So I don't know.
It'd be interesting to know, but again, I'm excited we saw clips and I know I've seen the photographs as well. It looks like it's going to be intense. The boys look like they've grown a little bit as well. And I think we are going to get a big reveal with Will.
I think Will is key, especially with the start, how it's mentioned about when you've got one on the riders car. And I think that's going to be exciting. And I am very much there for it. And I think that leads on nicely because, as I said, we are going to talk to you talk about movies we love from the 80s.
And strange things is probably one of the most 80s TV shows that has been made in a long time. 100%. It's so influenced by 80s pop culture and 80s writing. It is a step.
It started in 1983 as the year it starts and takes you up to 86 is the last year that were there. So we're still banging the 80s. I can't wait. I remember when season four came out.
It was such a good time to be on the internet because everyone was at like, especially the Nodie of North group on the El Fiesburg group. It was just absolutely buzzing and it was so much fun to be a part of that hyperion and I can't wait. I really hope people can take the positives out of the fact that the spread is out and really get on board with the fandom as it's as it's happening. So I'm going to call this now because like say, if you're not part of the Nodie of North discord, what you're doing with your life, these people aren't just friends, they are family.
Why don't we try and do a watch along because we don't really do much on your years. I was quite boring and I'm like, we're 40s and stuff. So why don't we do watch along for the final episode of Stranger Things in the discord and experience it together and go through the emotions together and we'll cry together and we'll hold each other's hands and like across the internet. I will not.
I swear to God, I won't have a camera on because I need to see me ugly cry because that's what'll happen. And that sounds like a good idea. Yeah, because yeah, we are. We didn't do that so much on your years.
That's how that's how we roll. Yeah. Yeah. Many, many moons ago.
So all the question now, Sammy, I'm going to put you on the spot. And again, you're not allowed to say, no, I'll not do that because that's a con smooth. What is what would you say is the ultimate quintessential is it is movie that defined the decade. Okay.
Defined the decade. Yes. Questions. And if you said you want to pick that one, I'll get no, I'll get no, because again, that would be not fair.
I would say a ghostbusters is one of the biggest and most defining movies of the 80s. It started a whole new phrase a whole new, I say type of movie. The comic, like comedy horror slash horror into like, I've been done where it was like slapstick or over the top where ghostbusters and I've said this on many a podcast. If you take the jokes out, it is a genuinely scary movie and one of the greatest jumpscares.
So I'm not going to mock you. I'll say that course you're going to pick that because again, that is a good shout. I do think that is an impressive shout. But yes, so ghostbusters is yours.
I know why yours is. Do you want to tell the story for all the folks at home? Why ghostbusters is yours? Yeah, if you've not, if you've never listened to us before, then this is going to be brand new to you.
If you have listened to us before, this is old news. I want to say grow, go with this, but that is an actual understatement. And for 10 years of my life, I literally watch most was just every single day, every day, two, three times a day. If I could get it in.
It's the only thing I watch the only thing I watch is the only thing I eat was peanut butter sandwiches, hence the reason I was very skiddick it and have multiple problems with food as an adult. But yeah, yeah, I watched it every single day. I know what inside out back to front and nobody will actually sit and watch it with us anymore because I pulled things before it actually happens. I love it.
It's it's been. There's been a lot of things in my life that's coming gone. Of course, it was. It was.
Never left. It's always been here. And I did actually have a horse was teaching on earlier, but I'm so fucking cold. So I had to put Halloween, which I appreciate is not from the years, but I'm still called.
Yes, pretend it's Halloween to and I can get away with that one. Right. I want to question and it's not going to be the answer you're expect. Yeah, because everyone's going to think the obvious.
Yeah, everyone's going to think it's these guys. Well, these guys, no, it's not going to be a good news. Unfortunately, I love the news. I don't think it defines the decade.
It's a very big part of the decade. It's a big part of my childhood. And I start to think I do think the big, the biggest movie or the most defining movie and it is one of the most perfect movies. There's not many perfect movies out there, but I do think this one is back to the future.
Because there's not a scene that when you watch back, I go back through it ticks every single box soundtrack, amos, visuals, amos and practical effects. Cast, you do not get a better cast. Even Christmim Glover and his mental. And he's crazy.
And he's absolutely crazy. And I went running into the bedroom earlier because some reason I'm hyper as fuck today. So I went running into the bedroom and I just went and see, great, it's getting moving. And he went, he just went, oh man, you can't, you can't do it.
That's yours. No, go, go, go. And he's like, back to the future. It was a parallel from back to the future was my when song.
Yes. Because why not? Well, it was one of them. And I get it.
You know, scientific, we've already had this discussion many times, but scientifically it is probably, it is being proven to be the most perfect movie of all time. Yes. Let me ticks every single box. It has the right, like the bad guy gets it.
He's covered and it's fun. It's a little bit incest in there, which again, like say depends which part of America you're from is kind of okay. We don't know. Yes.
But I'm just interested as well, because I'm looking at the chat as well. Some of the names that's coming out. And the ones that you would think jump out like aliens, but at a robo cop. Have to give Kevin a big clap.
Heathers. What a fucking choice. Love Heathers. Christian Slater is a is a opera.
Talk it's only talking Heathers. It's just the dialogue and it is so. It's like it's 90s before it even became the night he was there. It was so crazy.
Yeah, I love Heathers. Sorry. You're saying the breakfast club. I mean, if you think about as well.
All the films I came afterwards in the 90s, people like love. You wouldn't have if it wasn't feathers. You wouldn't have clothes. You wouldn't have main girls.
This is the film that kind of defined and started that kind of like culture where skit, because every type of like you say you go to school, there was always like a portrait on that, it was a horrible like Carrie, which again, you never wanted to go to that school, but like teen skills was all shown in a certain light. Heathers showed a kind of realism and brought out the that teenagers were going through like all the different things like suicide. hitting yourself, hitting your friends at times as well. It was sore, actually, on the nose as well.
But making it satirical, making it lighthearted, making it, you know, not taboo. Let's not be afraid to have these conversations kind of thing. Gotta give back our props, Grace to Grace, musical of all time, tops of Grace one, just in. That's better songs.
I'll give you that. I love Grace, better acting than Grace one, but it's got better songs than Grace two. We at work sing Grace to on a regular basis when we're in the office. Cool writer does not go off, missing on a Wednesday in the office.
But I don't know why. I started this in some of the songs on YouTube when I was went from home and it took us in your documentary. And holy shit, Grace two was meant to be the thing. So the whole entire cast of Grace one got behind this.
And they were so happy for it. Like, Olivia and John and John Devold were meant to play a part, but due to contractual things, with other projects, they couldn't do it. But they gave their full back and they even actually got the reason they got the money for it in the first place is because the original cast was so on board with it, they thought this was gonna be the tits. They genuinely thought this was gonna, Michael Garfield, Rex Manning, generally thought this was gonna make him.
Yeah. And I'll bitterly disappoint you, too, was when it didn't. But give us Michelle Fife, so that, again. She had no right to be in that movie, not just because it's Michelle Fife, I'm not a cat woman, but she cannot sing for shit.
That's Tony's woman you talk about, he'll kick off in the book. What's Tony gonna do? Yeah, see me. You ever seen me on group of fuck, Tony?
I'm a lovely person. No, she had no right to be in that movie. She even sees herself like she can't sing for shit. But she managed to pull off one of my most favourite roles of hers.
I love it, I love Grace too. So thank you for bringing another bit. But just a question as well, because I know we've had this discussion, and I think everyone's second, this is the back-tape of my opinions about the 80s movies, because me and Sammy are of an age where we enjoyed the 80s, kind of lived through them and embraced them, because everyone, like the age will argument that keeps them going through nerd culture, especially in hour circles is 80s versus 90s, which had the better movies or which they sing. Because again, there's arguments for both.
But why do you think the 80s created or had such a special time for movies? Not just like, say in general, we had big movies, like Ken Pies Right Back, we had some small ones like Air License and Drive, horror movies, franchises, not like Nightmare Before I ever played so many creative and different types of stories that were getting short at this time, that either seem to have got lost or scammed me. Like, again, I know I have good my opinions, but what do you think is the reason for that? It's something that you've said before, and I really do agree with you, is the 80s took more risks.
Not just the two more risks, they stopped giving his shit. Like, the more fun they were having, the more crazy of the movie was. I have wanted to this year, and it will get to it eventually, but for monsters, I want to do more 80s horror. I loved the 80s horror that we did last year.
There's some of the most batshit crazy movies ever. Like, Motel Hell has no fucking right to be as good as it is, but it's fucking brilliant because it has that 80s aesthetic running through it and that not giving a shit. And oh, yeah, I totally agree with what you've said in the past about 80s movies. The fun, they're exciting, they're different.
It's kind of, the 70s were so, and I don't want to say steel, because I could be so wrong, my favorite movie The Exorcist is from, you know, the 70s, so it's just, it was almost too serious. Yeah, it was like, there was a lot of art house for, but big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, art house movies that was made in the 70s. Then, like, the 80s were the risk takers, like, movies that shouldn't be made, or like, just what the idea is, like, weird science was, I think, it went, looked, was, er, wrought within 25 hours. That was the script, not the make, but the right, the script was done in 24 hours.
And I'm like, right, we're gonna make this one, because we needed to make a wacky movie, like, and again, movies like, Paul Ease and stuff came out, which like, stuff that shouldn't work. And again, I will, I will, if you go back to our, like, very first episodes, we use the audio from Revenge of the Nerds. So again, movies like that, where it's kind of influenced and probably not P, C, or not, like, say, what we would call, they were very much of the time, shall we say, like, we had stuff that we were here to use then, on all of the other years then, but again, we was used then, because people weren't educated, and like, no one, the ramifications was. Then we had the 90s, which was the birth of the blockbuster and the birth of the franchise, where everyone was like, okay, we want the next big thing, we want the next, like, to be, how many movies can we make from this one movie?
Because in the 80s, we had franchises, but the mostly horror, like, you can't. I mean, did we know we had franchises, or that's the thing, like, did we really understand in the 80s what the franchise actually was? Because if so, Ghostbusters is a franchise straight away in the 80s, because two movies came out, India, John's, Star Wars. But we didn't quite understand what the franchise actually was until it got into the 90s, and it's like, we're gonna merchandise, because the merchandise really starts to hype up in the 90s, and it's like, we're gonna merchandise, everything around this fucking huge franchise.
When it was like, what's a franchise? That's the thing, because in different times, you get booms of different types of movies. Like, now we're in the superhero boom. The 90s was kind of like, the renaissance of the teen slashers.
Oh yeah, how? The 80s was the boom industry, and someone sent a chat for comedies. I, like, you can't, the amount of comedians or actors, or even films that came out in the 80s, that were just pure daffes comedies, and ones that are on every single bank holiday, every Sunday, they used to have like, these daffes, like, movies that used to come out. Some of them made absolutely no sense at all, but there were absolutely hilarious.
Like, how many movies did Eddie Murphy make in the 80s from, like, his live performance on Raw? When he did Raw, that's when he came out, and he got like, things like twin faces, coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop. And again, it's like going through, when like 48 hours with it, which is absolutely like a brilliant action movie as well. Don't worry, we'll get onto the action film side a little bit later as well, because all these different elements, I think, again, and again, getting on the soapbox with the different risks and like, the diff, the culture then, it was kind of like, making movies wasn't expensive business, but not to the degree where it is now, where you could take risks on a comedy, like, oh, like, we'll make a stupid big city movie with, we'll stick Chevy Chasing and send him on a vacation and see what happens.
But again, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's just a shame that like, there was risks or like, it doesn't seem to be happening now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, these comedies are, I'm sorry, I think some of the best, some of the stuff that I grew up with, my dad loves comedy, so the likes of, the likes of C. Martin was not lost on me at a young age. Man with two brains, I shouldn't understand half the shit that is in that film, but I still fucking loved it.
It's still absolutely hilarious with Dr. Fafar. Okay. That just made me self laugh.
You shouldn't laugh at your own joke, should you? But yeah, I'm looking at a list of comedy movies and some of them, I've never even heard of half of them, but there's a lot, there's a lot of Chevy Chairs in there. Yeah, but it's like, and all, like, so it's certain that there's don't, like now when you look back and like the things that don't, it's kind of like, oh, but you can still appreciate it or like say for certain things that, because it's not just Chevy Chairs, that's in the movie, there's different things that they work on, but if you think about it, it gives people like John Candy, like, planes, trains, it's Tom Hanks, planes, trains and automobiles. The Great Outdoors, which we did a review on, which again is one of the best.
Oh, I love it. There's a little one with John Candy, where he goes and it's called Summer Vacation. And it's basically just like a holiday where everything goes wrong for this person. And it's just like his dialect, like the way he performs and does everything.
It's just amazing. But again, give us, give us, give us, well, it gives the ladies pretty much give us the biggest actor of any generation, Tom Hanks, like the world. Yeah. Question, sorry, before I, it burns up, I'm not really in the burbs.
Yeah. Horror or comedy? And satire. Okay.
No, it's just, it's only because it's sitting, the list that it's just the Google is the movies and it's come up on the thrillers section, the horror section and the comedy section. So where does the burbs, I love that film. Well, that's the thing. Again, you can have that discussion again, what do you describe as a horror film?
Because you can have kids movies that are, if anyone tells me that return to others, isn't a horror movie, you're an absolute crazy person. It's just what you are. The Raw Dolls, The Witches, is what is still one of the scariest films I have ever seen. But again, it's still, as a kid's film.
See, this is where me and you differ. You got scared by it. I got inspired by it. It's got through.
It's a kid's down the women's in the office. This is where we differ. There is some absolutely classic horror in the, Lost Boys, they live, pull the guys the thing. Like, this is some mind-bending, mind-blowing horror that is coming out of, like, critics.
Evil Dead. Evil Dead? Oh my God, we are on an evil dead thing at the moment and we decided, oh, we're going to watch Evil Dead 2 because Evil Dead 2 is just a rehash of Evil Dead 1. And the minute we put it on, we just went, we're going to have to watch the first one on the left.
So we had to go back, we have to watch the first one and order to get the second one. Such a good film, such a, again, risk-taking way of doing movies. Sam Raimi was quite risque in his work. Yeah, and again, I think it was in the 80s where we had, like, the video in that secret, where a lot of the movies that were made were like, weren't a lot of you saying?
We had like, Thrilla Killer, where's Craven's, where's Craven's last house on the left? I was the 80s, wasn't it? Possibly. I can Google that, but then the likes of Child's Play, which would now, you know, are now watching in 2025 eyes, you'd look at that and go, what the fuck, what the fuck.
But back in the 80s, this was a movie that was to be feared because kids will, you know, try to imitate this little ginger head doll and go off on a killing spree because that's what parents actually fucking thought. And it was a, not that I ever watched Child's Play as a kid. It's the one, Porent and Scammy. I have been watching this since I was eight years old.
The only thing that did Scammy was the first horror film I ever watched if you want to go back on a once or so, to talk all about it, it's the worst movie ever, Dolly Dearest, Dolls Scammy. So he is one. So again, like, because that's interesting that you didn't watch that movie as a kid. Yeah.
Let's go, let's be real, in the 80s, like when we were growing up, like no one used to take any consideration for the ratings on the movies. Like, you could be in a UPG, 15, 18. We were allowed to watch them. Like, most parents and most my friends at school, like we used to have like, viewing bodies.
As the rule in my house was, as long as there's isn't gratuitous sex scenes, then I'd say that was where, like, I remember watching, was it the night man on straight three dream warriors round, because in house, like, in a full house, sort of the neighbors kids watching it, and just going, what the hell is this? Because I think that was the first, I think that was the first for a night man on straight, I ever seen was the one. The dream warriors one. Oh no, mine was night man on street.
And I always remember the night when I tried to get my sister to watch it, and she was about six, four, four years old. I was like, no, I'm not being held responsible for the night man. So turn that one off. When it comes to night man on street as well, because I know, like, we were talking about before we went, I like, when it comes to streaming or watching movies or watching TV for a thing, you let me go.
I want to watch this film, log on to the internet, and you can watch it within 30 seconds. Back in the day, you had a schedule. If it wasn't out there, if it came out of cinema, you had a weird, if it wasn't out there, you had a weird, if it wasn't out there, so we had six months for it to come out rental. If it didn't wiggle rental, it used to be one year before it would come out on the TV.
And it was only one of the channels on the show, Posh and the Hat Sky, not many people had Sky. So you used to get your friends to video tape and then use the bar of the video tape. But certain TV channels, one show, certain films, like Rocky 3 was banned on TV for so long. Right, it was supposed to be too violent.
It was supposed to be too violent. So the thrust deal viewing for this is Rocky 3 didn't happen until later on. So it was the single one, night man on street, I remember. It was years and years till it got a terrestrial TV premiere and it was channel four funny enough that showed it.
But they had a double bill. So I remember it because they didn't like the advertisements back then for channel four, like the movies and stuff was brilliant, it was like short for like a month, like I've been saying, night man on street's gonna come out. Gonna watch it, I was like, oh, great. So the premiere of night man on street and then Alien afterwards.
So it was like a horror double bill that night. So that was the first time I saw Alien as well, which again blew my mind. One of the scariest horror films I've ever seen. If you know me and I've listened to this podcast before, you will understand that I'm not lying when I say I have not seen a lot of things.
That has obviously changed in four years of doing this podcast. But at the start of it, I had a list as long as my arm of stuff that I have not seen. And I in a way regret waiting so long to watch a lot of things. But in a way, I kind of don't.
I'm kind of glad. I regret not having the experience growing up because I, like I say, I love horror and I have to instance, I was eight years old and I've watched some stupid horror movies. But I just wish I saw the ones that would still have an impact two day. Right, okay.
I can't remember watching Aliens. I think I watched it. I think if I remember rightly, I went out to Azte one day and they had the whole box set on DVD for like a fiverr. So I bought it and that was probably my first viewing.
My first viewing a predator is a different amount of the predator I watched and I absolutely loved. But I never watched the second one or anything else until last year. Right. And Alien, all the aliens, all the rest of them didn't watch them until last year either.
So I know we've watched a lot of new movies for yourself on this podcast as well. When we did the big trouble in a little China review, was that the first time of year? Yeah. So yeah, so it's so funny because I don't know why, but I always check my memories on Facebook.
And one came up saying, finally ticked off the box, big trouble in the China. I was like, you fucking allow you. You did not watch that. For the first time I watched it was when we did the review for it.
And it absolutely, I don't know what I was expecting. But that was not what I was expecting. And I don't think I was long off doing the thing. I had watched the thing years ago.
So is this the love of the love of Kirk Russell started for this time there? Is this where the obsession? Pretty much an entangolin cast just like fucking put that nail in the coffin. And yeah, it was just not long done the thing.
And so that was like kind of like, watch that with fresh eyes and then watch this. And I was kind of expecting that same kind of very, very different, very different. So again, when we watched big trouble in China, it was amazing having a conversation with you and seeing you light up as well. One of the ones we did watch in the 80s, and you watched for the first time, and no one initially you weren't over the moon with it until, until the episode where we had a conversation about.
And then there was some part of the conversation that the film actually started, and you get, oh yeah, fuck, I did actually enjoy that maybe. The princess bride. The princess bride. And you're going to see that.
And you're going to see that. Yeah, this is making a nutshell. I'll watch something and I'll have an initial thought. It's like the good earth shit.
And at the time I was kind of sitting in the middle of this. But as we talked through it, and Kelly and Sonia, and you said, I've given all these like really good points, I was like, actually that was a really good film. It was like, actually really enjoyed that. Because you loved it.
And you're like, what did you make us watch? I was like, well, let's break it down. Why did you not like this movie? And you're like seeing these things?
I was like, yeah, but this is why this happened. This is something you're like, oh shit. I did like that. One of the funniest experiences I've ever seen on this podcast as well.
But this is me and Anashel. I have to talk through things in order to get an actual like genuine feeling of how I felt about it. I did it with them. We did an episode of Pet Sematry on Monsters of North, which is another eighties-great horror movie.
And we did that. And we just watched Bloodlines. I didn't really know how I felt about it. I knew I liked it.
But I didn't know how I generally felt about it in the grand scheme of Pet Sematry. And the more I talked about it, the more I started falling in love with it. And I was like, oh shit, I'm such a good fucking film. But I do it after the fact.
I don't do it while watching it. I'll do it after it, which is weird. Sometimes I can watch something like, for example, M, Sennas, Instantly Boom, like that is a fucking-that is a brilliant movie. And this is the reason why this is brilliant.
But sometimes it does take my brain a long time to go right. You need to break this down. Why was it good? Why did you enjoy it?
And this is why I love doing what I do. It was just an experience because I think a lot of people don't realise how stupid and how much of a comedy the princess ride is. It's very much like I say, I have a British humour as well. Because that was like, when we were on the conversation at times it feels like it's a comedy python sketch.
And that's why you love it as well. Well, one of my favourite episodes we did last year, and it's another 80s movie, is The Shining. Oh, yes. It's one of my favourite episodes.
I absolutely loved it because I was literally two hours off finishing the boot. And then we recorded. And just you and Kelly allow us to talk me way through the boot to be like, should I actually really enjoy the boot? I was really like that.
I love when people give us the time to work stuff out in my brain so I can decide where I am with this. So that episode is one of my favourites from last year. Such a good episode. After this one, of course.
Oh, yeah. It's a music when you go through all the different types of movies that we got in the eighties as well. I know we've spent a little more on horror. But the certain films that are meant to be like kids' movies or kid-friendly and very adult themed, like Stan Byme, for example, like who didn't want to have that type of friendship?
Who didn't want to have that kind of moment where you kind of, I know the 20s you want to see a dead body, but to have an adventure like that. But who didn't want to go and find that dead body? Because I did. I wanted to know.
It's sort of watching it back now just gives me the moment for these because it'll always remind us that that's Saturday morning, the first Saturday afternoon, the sixth week of the holidays, and you are literally watching the cartoons and you're going to go on your bike and you'll be like, oh fucking day doing God knows what, you'll come back absolutely monkey because I live in shiny row. And then you'll come back home and then you'll do it all over again the next day. And it just brings that moment fuzzy feelings back of the summers that we had as kids. Yeah.
It's right because certain friendships as your kids as well, you never have the same friendships again. And it actually is like that type of feeling that in a sense in a way which is, I'm just reading these comments. I don't want to find a dead body. The amount of the amount of the amount of the thing, it's so weird because I live now on the street that I grew up in and my friends that I grew up with still live on that street.
We still live literally two seconds away from each other. And it's so weird. We are still like the best of friends, but we hardly ever speak to each other. But instantly I know if I need them for whatever reason and vice versa in a second, it's like no time has passed.
It's crazy. And going on from an all conversation, we'll be jumping from film to film in this episode. Oh, a lot of this isn't the point of it. It's just an open conversation.
We don't know where it's going. There's no set. There's no scripts. Not this time.
Never, never, never now. One of the ones that does kind of gets a lot of flack now, but I still remember it was very funny. I still enjoy it. I know Spielberg made some choices by going back and changing elements from, like, 80.
Like that film now still gets a lot of shit. And like, I don't know why. Why does it get so much? Because I know the reason I will watch it for it because I'm too emotionally damaged to actually watch it.
I'll always remember, Michaela as a kid watching, she didn't even watch the whole film. She watched like the last hour half an hour and she's fucking in hysterics at the end of it. And that was enough of me to go, I never want to see this film ever again. Just a bit of like a nerdy lore for you.
So, 1982 was the year I was born. This is the other movie was KTM out as well. So, I watched this movie growing up. I loved the movie, like, 80, four and a half early at.
And but the marketing around this movie is so fucked up in social areas. They created a giant finger that they had to recall because it looked like a dildo. So people were playing it at an 80-till. So, they recalled that.
They produced, Atari produced one of the most unsuccessful franchise games that they couldn't sell and how to get rid of. There's a hall in Mexico where there is like all the thousands and thousands of these kids buried. No, there's an 80-video game graveyard. And I didn't know about it.
That's crazy. I just I don't understand the key for it. I just I understand for myself that it's too emotional. It's too I can't handle that level of emotion.
And it's like the same with London Four Time. Like I'll never we own London Four Time by the way and it's still sitting in its rabbit that I did from 18 years ago because I will never ever watch that film again. It's too heartbreaking. It's too I can't take that level of emotion.
Well, probably it's held against his dead man. Don't do it. Don't even get that bad for Bambi. But that broke me.
It's not like it's stairs with you. That's the type of cartons we shot as a kid like in the eighties as well. Like I know we got like Disney ones. What if you think about it we got the land before time we got American Teal.
Like Fival. It's about this. I know it's comes to America because the evil cats, cocks, I think there's no cats in America. Who I take the voice for the cat again?
I can't remember now. But yeah, I remember like I said and the one I'm sure this was the eighties again. So my tellers wrong. It's the movie that you will never watch nor dogs go to heaven.
All dogs go to heaven. Sorry. Never ever ever watch that movie again. And even worse now it was like 99 just because just what I want to just on it.
Yeah, I had to be physically removed from the cinema like literally picked up and taken out because I was in such a catastrophic hysterical state and my auntie bless her hard. I went with my auntie and my aunt's cousin and we ended up all I remember is I think I blacked out because the next thing I know I am in Burger King being cheated up with a Burger King gold hat. Remember the crowns? Yeah.
Being translated with like toys and shit because I was so bad. And now even as an adult it's even worse because the little girl who plays in the movie, Judy Barcy who is also the voice of Petri in Land Before Time she was murdered before that film was finished. And who does it? Tom Selleck?
Oh, who does the dog's voice? Tash? Bert Reynolds? Bert Reynolds, I'm sure it's Bert Reynolds.
Bert Reynolds had the goodbye Charlie speech. Had to do that to say goodbye to her when she was dead and he's crying in his eyes while he's doing it. No. I want that, nor that movie doesn't exist.
I'm going to top your trauma though like one more before we move into the film trauma with the components in the cartoon realm. Oh no. I remember watching because I was a big transformers fan, transformers the movie. They killed Optimus Prime.
I don't think he gets by something from 83. There might be transformers fans that don't watch the other ones. They won't experience it. They're killed Optimus Prime.
They did. They certainly did. They can't kill this. And they bring him back.
He's like oh no. Yeah, that was so we last year did a transformers watch along with my husband. We started from Michael Bay is first two and we ended. We did the new one, the new animated one that came out which is really good by the way.
If you're a transformers fan, please go watch it because it is really good. We ended it with that movie. And oh, it just, it just brings all the memories back. So if we're talking about trauma, what movie traumatized you the most from the 80s?
You just fucking did it. You just said it. Not the car. Not animated.
Okay. Give us some time to think. Turn around and look at what you see. You're not in much.
That's not trauma. That's just pure hatred. I mean, just get some information out here. Because like every time we've talked about the, like I said, no one's sorry in the past.
Sammy's giving out fake news. She said the horse died. The horse didn't die. We know we cleared that up, didn't we?
