An irreverent glance at the film and TV of yesterday. Does the entertainment of our youth still hold up today, or have we changed too much? Two old friends, Paul and Colin, laugh, argue, criticize and occasionally remember that they’re doing a movie podcast.

In this episode we take a look at the first attempt at a live action version of 2000AD's most famous creation, Judge Dredd. We join Sylvestor Stallone and Armand Assante as they tackle the infamous lawman in Danny Cannon’s 1992 scifi blockbuster, Judge Dredd. As we reveal every spoiler Paul gets obsessed with removing his helmet, Colin worries about Little Mic, and both get annoyed by Rob Schneider. Intro music by Alan Silvestri and outro by The Cure, and remember, this is certainly not suitable for work but please.... judge for yourself.

In this episode we're taking a look at Michael Crichton's Runaway from 1984. Meanwhile Paul dreams about the only robot he would ever want, and takes a tough stance on venom spitting robotic spiders (but runs away from real ones). Colin wonders if Lois is more than just a robotic house robot for lonely Ramsay, and tries out, another soon to be forgotten, catchphrase.
Music from the Runaway by Alan Silvestri

It's chocks away as we take a look at Biggles Adventures in Time from 1986. A very British time traveling adventure film that has become a cult classic. Along the flight we discuss Neil Dickson's appearance as Biggles in the Pet Shop Boy's film, we ponder if any movie can be improved with a helicopter stunt and how Peter Cushing always adds class.
We discovers Paul's 'alleged' dislike of vegetables (except cucumbers), and realize that he's confused toyline Action Force's Baron Ironblood with a real WWI German pilot.
Meanwhile Colin has trouble with the time paradox and wonders why do characters in 80s films never take their outdoor jacket and shoes off when relaxing at home.
Intro music "Do You Want to be a Hero" by Jon Anderson and Outro music "No Turning Back" by The Immortals.

The series followed the exploits of Dr. Sam Beckett as he leaps into different people in different times, trying to put right what once had gone wrong. Throughout his missions he's assisted by Al, who appears as a hologram and can only be seen by Sam.

In this episode we're plucky enough to duck into an early Marvel outing with Howard the Duck from 1986. So is this eggcellent or is it just poultry? Download and find out as we carve it up and argue about this George Lucas produced oddity. But beware, there's spoilers galore and, of course, fowl language. - Intro and Outro music by Thomas Dolby, performed by The Cherry Bombs
