    The "FIVE Guilty Pleasures" Episode

    The "FIVE Guilty Pleasures" Episode

    In this electrifying episode of "Born to Watch," your hosts Whitey, Damo, and Dan dive headfirst into the tantalizing world of "5 Guilty Pleasures," revealing those films that sit like hidden gems in their troves of cinematic joy. Dictionary.com defines a guilty pleasure as "something, such as a movie, television program, or piece of music, that one enjoys despite feeling that it is not generally held in high regard." Embracing this definition, our trio sets out to bare their souls and share those movies that ignite their passion, despite perhaps not shining under the critic's spotlight.

    Starting at number five and working their way to the coveted number one spot, Whitey, Damo, and Dan each unveil their picks, sharing anecdotes and perhaps a few blushes along the way. These are the films that they adore—those secret indulgences that offer comfort, nostalgia, or just plain, unadulterated joy, regardless of their reception by the masses or the critics.

    After each revelation, the atmosphere thickens with anticipation as the boys cast their votes to determine whether the choice stands as a legitimate "Guilty" pleasure. Debates are had, laughter echoes, and maybe, just maybe, a few surprises are thrown into the mix as they dissect why these films have carved such a special place in their hearts.

    As the episode reaches its climax, the tension is palpable. Which film will be crowned the guiltiest pleasure of them all? Will it be a unanimous decision, or will the boys find themselves at a crossroads, torn between the sheer joy these films bring and the societal guilt they're supposed to embody?

    This episode is not just a list; it's a journey through the heart of what makes us love the movies we do, even when the world tells us we shouldn't. So, grab your popcorn and prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, revelations, and, most importantly, a celebration of the films that make "Born to Watch" and its listeners unabashedly, wonderfully guilty.

    Rebel Moon (2023)

    Rebel Moon (2023)

    Rebel Moon (2023) -Full Movie Review

    Whitey and Damo take one for the team here as they dissect the latest "style over substance, Star Wars wannabe" outing from director Zack Snyder. 
    In short, if you are considering watching Rebel Moon, listen to the podcast first. It's half as long as the movie and twice as entertaining. 

    "Rebel Moon," despite its ambitious vision, ultimately falls short of the high expectations set for modern science fiction cinema. Directed by a filmmaker known for his innovative ideas, the movie aims to weave a grand space opera narrative but stumbles in its execution.

    Set in a distant galaxy, the film revolves around a colony under threat from a tyrannical regime, seeking warriors from neighboring planets for help. While this premise is ripe with potential, it's handled with a lack of originality, echoing too many familiar tropes without bringing anything new to the table.

    The visual aspects of "Rebel Moon" are its strongest suit, with impressive special effects and detailed set designs. However, even these stunning visuals can't mask the movie's narrative deficiencies. Spaceships and alien landscapes, while aesthetically pleasing, do little to compensate for the story's lack of depth and originality.

    The performances, while competent, don't quite manage to elevate the material. The lead actor, Sofia Boutella, though earnest in their effort, struggles to bring a unique dimension to a clichéd protagonist. The supporting cast, despite including some notable names, are underutilised, their characters lacking in development and nuance.

    The film's pacing is another area where it falters significantly. It drags in many parts, particularly in the middle, losing the audience's interest with its meandering plot and predictable story beats. This pacing issue detracts significantly from the movie's overall impact.

    Even the score, while technically well-composed, feels disconnected from the film's emotional core, failing to enhance the narrative or add any significant layers to the viewing experience.

    In conclusion, "Rebel Moon" is a missed opportunity in the realm of sci-fi cinema. It has the trappings of a visually spectacular space opera but lacks the narrative strength and originality to make a lasting impact. For fans of the genre, it may offer some moments of entertainment, but it's unlikely to be remembered as anything more than a mediocre entry in the sci-fi canon.

    Summer of the 80s, Part 3: 1982 - From Hollywood to 42nd Street (Poltergeist & Basket Case)

    Summer of the 80s, Part 3: 1982 - From Hollywood to 42nd Street (Poltergeist & Basket Case)

    1982 brings us a rather odd pairing of a family facing supernatural terror, and a young man and his basket. The Hollywood budget and prestige of a polished Steven Spielberg production, and the raw sleaze and special effects of a $35,000 movie shot on the grimy streets of early 80s New York City.

    If one of your family members starts talking to static on a television, you might want to consider packing up and moving immediately. But is static on television even a thing anymore? There's content 24/7! The TV people talking through the static are probably safer than the people talking to you on the actual shows! Wait, what were we talking about? Spirits and supernatural spookiness! And real skeletons in swimming pools! Leave the bodies where they are, kick back and relax, and watch some Poltergeist (1982)!

    What's in the basket? Well, let's just says that it probably isn't clothes, like Duane says it is. Because I don't know if I've ever heard of clothes eating a bunch of hamburgers and hot dogs when you dump those into the basket with them.  It sure is weird and pissed off, whatever it is. Don't worry, you'll find out. Time for some fun family revenge on the seedy streets of New York, in Basket Case (1982)!

    And then from there, it's the Common Craig's Top 5 list of horror movies from 1982! You'd better believe it!


    Goodfellas (1990) - Full Review

    Goodfellas (1990) - Full Review

    Episode 44 - Goodfellas (1990) - Full Review Movie Podcast

    Is there a movie in history that is known as perfect? Many have come close but Goodfellas might just be that movie. When three mates talk movies it's not often we agree on everything, do we this time?

    Goodfellas could go down as the unluckiest movie in Oscar history. How it only won a single award is unfathomable.
    The team dig deep into the masterpiece that is Goodfellas and bring a little hindsight justice to the awards debacle that this movie became. Arguably one of the greatest movies of all time, Goodfellas was a fun podcast and I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

    Goodfellas, released in 1990 and directed by Martin Scorsese, is a classic crime drama that has become an enduring part of pop culture history. The movie tells the story of Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta) as he navigates his way through the world of organized crime. Through its non-linear storytelling style and strong performances from its excellent cast (including Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci), Goodfellas creates an immersive experience that resonates with viewers decades later.

    The fact that Goodfellas still has such an impact on pop culture today is a testament to its quality. It earned multiple Academy Award nominations when it was released and continues to be shown at festivals and art house cinemas around the world. The influence it had on future gangster movies is also undeniable; many plot points and character archetypes seen in later mob movies owe much to the examples laid down here. But beyond just inspiring other filmmakers, Goodfellas also left its mark on TV shows, video games, standup comedy routines, music videos, and more. This has been true since it first came out—it was even referenced in the music video for Beastie Boys' 1994 song “Sabotage".

    On a deeper level though, what sets Goodfellas apart from other gangster films are its themes of loyalty and friendship amidst the betrayal. These were explored in other cinematic mob storylines before it but never with such nuance or bleakness; things can go bad quickly for Henry Hill's crew as they find themselves involved in one deal after another gone wrong. What results is a very human story about power dynamics within criminal organizations; you sympathize with these characters even as they make bad decisions that inevitably get them into trouble.

    Goodfellas is ultimately a timeless classic because it creates this rich portrayal of gang life using skilful direction, excellent writing, great acting performances, and well-choreographed action sequences all working together to create something truly special. Whether you’re a fan of crime dramas or not there’s no denying how important this movie has been for popular culture over the last 30 years; if you haven’t seen it yet do yourself a favour and check it out!
