This week on Shite Talk, the lads go deep on two of 2025's most talked about films ,Final Destination: Bloodlines and The Carpenter's Son.

Hamburger Hill (1987): Underrated Vietnam Classic?
The late 80s gave us some of the most iconic Vietnam films ever made, but where does Hamburger Hill fit?We go back to 1987 and unpack a war film that stripped away myth and left only the grind.

Does Highlander Still Rule or Are We Lying to Ourselves?
This week on Too Old For This Shite, we revisit Highlander (1986) the cult classic that mashed together immortal sword fights, punk villains, lightning effects, and an all-timer Queen soundtrack.We argue over whether Highlander is a misunderstood fantasy epic or just pure 80s vibes doing most of the work. From Christopher Lambert’s accent roulette and Sean Connery’s baffling casting, to Clancy Brown’s unhinged Kurgan performance, we break down what still rules, what absolutely doesn’t, and why this movie somehow still works.

Friday the 13th (2009) vs A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
This week we go head-to-head with two of horror’s most controversial reboots: Friday the 13th (2009) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). One tried to modernise Jason by mashing together multiple sequels into a slick survival slasher. The other attempted to reboot Freddy and somehow drained all the fun out of the dream.We break down what works, what absolutely doesn’t, and whether either remake understood the assignment. Is the Friday reboot secretly better than it gets credit for? And did Nightmare fail because it misunderstood Freddy, or because some things just shouldn’t be rebooted?Expect strong opinions, franchise loyalty clashes, and a final verdict that may upset at least one group of slasher fans.

Creeping Flesh vs. Horror Express: Cushing & Lee’s Monster Mayhem Smackdown
This week we dive into a Christopher Lee vs. Peter Cushing double bill that proves the 70s were built different. It’s Creeping Flesh (1973) ,the story of a giant skeleton that may or may not bring doom, madness, and goo ,versus Horror Express (1972) ,the trans-Siberian creature feature where science, superstition, and a brain stealing alien duke it out aboard a very cursed train.We break down which film delivers the better monsters, the better mayhem, the better Cushing performance, and who rocks the superior “I am far too tired for this eldritch shite” energy. Expect: gothic melodrama, killer practical effects, Victorian guilt, alien possession, and Telly Savalas showing up in Horror Express like he wandered in from another movie and refused to leave.Which film truly rules the midnight-movie throne ,the slow-burn psychological horror of Creeping Flesh or the pulpy, creature-on-a-train madness of Horror Express?Grab your lantern, grab your microscope, and maybe don’t touch any suspicious bones.

Zoolander: The Movie That Changed Comedy
This week we dive head first into the glitter soaked stupidity of Zoolander (2001) ,Ben Stiller’s cult comedy masterpiece that somehow combines male modeling, high-stakes brainwashing, and one of the greatest walk-offs in cinema history.We discuss how a movie about an air-headed supermodel trying to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia became a cornerstone of early-2000s comedy. We celebrate Will Ferrell’s unhinged Mugatu, Owen Wilson’s golden-haired peace guru Hansel, and a supporting cast that feels like every celebrity who accidentally wandered onto set.Is Zoolander still hysterical in 2025? Do the jokes land harder now that the fashion world is even dumber?

The Meg Franchise: Do We Deserve This?
In this episode, we dive headfirst into the oversized shark tank that is The Meg and its sequel, The Meg 2: The Trench. Jason Statham fights prehistoric sea monsters, studios fight logic, and we fight to answer one simple question: is this the kind of movie franchise modern audiences actually deserve?We break down the good (giant shark carnage, Statham punching nature in the face), the bad (everything else), and the baffling (how did we get a sequel before Dredd 2?). Along the way, we talk about the state of blockbuster cinema, why audiences keep turning up for big dumb fun, and whether franchises like The Meg are a symptom of Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy or proof that sometimes people just want to watch a massive shark eat billionaires.Grab your floaties , it’s going to be a messy swim.
