    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.

    Masters of the Universe (1987) (Re-Release)

    No new episode this week, but here's a banger from the archives.

    MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE! It's good vs evil, Fate vs Destiny, and Dolph vs Pants. In this ep we of course take a deep into the origin story of not just this film, but He-Man himself, as well as all of the segments you have come to expect, with a special nod to the greatest toys of 1987. So join us as we unpack this weeks movie: Masters of The Universe.

    The Last Dragon with McDojoLife aka Rob Ingram

    223 - Guys, this has gotta be our favourite ep in a long time. Not only are we covering a film we haven't seen before (we are still in mourning for our childhoods), but we are doing it with the man, the legend, Rob from McDojoLife. So sit back, relax, and join us on an adventure through martial arts, the 80s, McDojos, and music. It's BERRY GORDY'S THE LAST DRAGON, babyyyyyyyyy~

    Kill Bill Vol 1 & Vol 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2003)

    Kill Bill Vol 1 & Vol 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2003)

    223 - It’s Fan’s Choice week! Out of 8 martial arts classics, you voted, we listened and we are tackling BOTH volumes of Kill Bill. A fitting penultimate episode for our Martial Arts miniseries, with its many intertextual references to the genre… but also other genres I guess. Also, not for nothing, but we may have our sharpest recasties of all time in this ep, so make sure you stick around to the end.

    Weird Science & Blockbuster Video (John Hughes, 1985)

    Weird Science & Blockbuster Video (John Hughes, 1985)

    215 - A little extra AI episode because, why not? This film is very squarely ABOUT AI, while at the same time, not being interested in AI at all. But hey, it's got loads of other stuff. Also, Greg's mic wasn't working properly so some slightly poorer audio quality than usual in parts. Ironically, we turned to AI to fix it, with mixed results.

    Aliens with Raider of the Lost Podcast (James Cameron, 1986)

    Aliens with Raider of the Lost Podcast (James Cameron, 1986)

    211 - BIG movie this week. HUGE! So we had to go and get some mega guests... and who better than James and Anthony from the Raiders of the Lost Podcast. We go extremely deep in this 80s classic, while also jumping around the franchise, and James Cameron's 'saviour of women' complex (LOLs). We had a blast unpacking this one with these two pod lords, make sure you check out the great content they are creating here

    Blade Runner with Sunglasses Kid (Ridley Scott, 1982)

    Blade Runner with Sunglasses Kid (Ridley Scott, 1982)

    209 - Another heavy hitter with this week's AI exploration, it's Blade Runner. As you know, we are big fans of the 80s vision of the future, and all the trimmings that come with it - especially all things synth - and to help us unpack this synthy, tech noir, cyberpunk delight, we have the synth-lord himself, Sunglasses Kid (aka Edward Gamper). Sunglasses Kid is a master of that 80s movie mood, so make sure you give him a follow on his Instagram, TikTok and / or Spotify

    A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001)

    A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001)

    208 - It's a brand new miniseries, folks! We are diving into the world of AI in film with, well, A.I.... This film has a somewhat unusual place in pop culture history - is it a misunderstood masterpiece from the brains of two of our greatest? Or an auteur anomaly representing a miss-step from its two dads? Is there even an answer to this question? Tune in and find out
