    Double Impact

    Tristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids from down under, on a mission to re-watch every movie that meant something from their childhood. Each episode they review a 'classic' film from the 80s or 90s, and determine how it stacks up in the modern era. We use the term classic very loosely.

    The River Wild  & Man O Man (2004)

    238 - This movie has never really had much time in the spotlight, yet I FEEL like we all watched this and feel pretty positive about it? Is The River Wild a low-key banger? or the Diet Coke of Deliverance? Tune in and find out!

    Meet the Parent & Destiny's Child (2000)

    Meet the Parent & Destiny's Child (2000)

    236 - The year 2000. When we started this pod, it seemed as if the 2000's were off-limits, but somehow in the mystery of time we find ourselves 24 years distant from the turn of the millennium - so let's crack her open! Two cultural FORCES were unleashed that year - no, not Heely's & Bucket Hats -  Destiny's Child, and Meet the Parents.

    Shaun of the Dead & the Music of 2004 (Edgar Wright, 2004)

    Shaun of the Dead & the Music of 2004 (Edgar Wright, 2004)

    231 - You voted, we listened - it's SHAUN OF THE DEAD week! You chose wisely, as it's kind of the perfect way to wrap up this miniseries, with its sprawling tentacles pulling in pieces from all over the genre. Being the final episode of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries, we also spend some time reflecting on the genre, as well as our final advice on how to survive, should the time come.

    Resident Evil (2002, Paul WS Anderson)

    Resident Evil (2002, Paul WS Anderson)

    228 - It's week three of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. This week is notable admission to the Zombie cannon, although pretty polarising in appeal. But it's based on a game, a great game! WHAT A GAME! Anyway, Umbrella Corp, Mila Jovovich and a bunch of white dudes that look alike, oh and that one laser that dices that dude up... it's Resident Evil!

    Evil Dead 2 (Sam Raimi, 1987)

    Evil Dead 2 (Sam Raimi, 1987)

    227 - It's week 2 of our 'A Brief History of Zombies' miniseries. After episode one's Romero double feature, we now get to explore one of the more extreme spins on the re-animated corpse-genre - it's EVIL DEAD (2). The sorta sequel, sorta remake of Evil Dead, and predecessor to Army of Darkness (don't worry we touch on all three). What does this gory little number contribute to the zombie canon? What can this film teach us about survival amongst the undead? and the big question... Does it hold up, or is it best left in the past? Tune in and find out!

    George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) & Day of the Dead (1985)

    George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) & Day of the Dead (1985)

    226 - NEW MINISERIES TIME! It's 'A Brief History of Zombies', and we are starting at the beginning, with Night of the Living Dead - BUT IT DOESN'T STOP THERE! It's our first ever Double Feature! So stick around for Day of the Dead too. New miniseries of course brings new genre tropes, and a fan's choice bracket that will go live this week! Happy Halloween!
