Rusted Junk - The Movies Podcast

S05E03 - Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

How did it get to this? Our first film with Eddie Murphy in and it's a classic!

Listen as Amanda still chuckles when I mention the director's name (Martin Brest - she just can't help herself!) and how it has to follow a similar scoring as Lethal Weapon - it just had to!

We marvel at Eddie Murphy's genius, take a look at the top films out in the year 1984 and wonder if you can stall a car with just 3 bananas.

S05E02 - Lethal Weapon (1987)

The game-changer for buddy cop movies, we take a look at this classic starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.

Amanda's back so it will be going delightfully off-topic while maintaining the air of a semi-professional podcast.

We welcome your suggestions for movies for our Season 5 theme 'Cops and Robbers'

S05E01 - Die Hard (1988)

Yippee ki-yay, muddy funsters and welcome to Season 5 of Rusted Junk where the theme is 'Cops and Robbers'.

And we naturally had to open with that Christmassy of Christmas films, the put-Bruce-Willis-into-the-stratosphere classic 'Die Hard'.

I'm joined by my good friend from the WDWNT Nerd Alert podcast, Joe Hogarty, and my ex-roomie, and long time buddy, Dom so hope you enjoy and Happy Christmas to all our wonderful listeners!

S04E11 - National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)

A Christmas classic or a yuletide turkey? We take a look at this much beloved film and find out that we have to park our logical brains at the door.

Happy Christmas to you all - Season Five coming soon!

Special - Rocky vs Drago

It's here! 18 months in the making and Sylvester Stallone finally releases his Director's Cut of Rocky IV (Charlie was very excited to watch this).

Always happy to welcome our good friend, Joe Hogarty from WDWNT's 'Nerd Alert' podcast as he was on our original Rocky IV podcast.

We hope you enjoy this extra episode!

S04E10 - Beetlejuice (1988)

That's it! The end of Season 4! We hope you've all enjoyed the 'Misc' category which turned out to be John Cusack-heavy but that's never a bad thing...

So, with the witching hour nearly upon us for Halloween, we thought we'd join Beetlejuice for some spooky shenanigans and see what happens.

Amanda gets excited about Jeffrey Jones (again), I eulogise about the acting chops of Michael Keaton as we encounter a darker film than we remember..

S04E09 - National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)

Our listener vote is in and we couldn't be happier. Chevy Chase shines in this 1983 classic where the Griswold Family take a road trip to Whalley World.

With Amanda on sick leave, Charlie is joined by WDWNT Nerd Alert's Joe Hogarty where we marvel at Beverly D'Angelo, discuss if Clark really is a 'family man' and whether Kenny Loggins includes the theme from Over The Top in his regular set.

S04E08 - Summer Rental (1985)

We can't get enough of John Candy and this lesser known film brought some much needed sunshine to Rusted Junk Towers.

Also starring the wonderful Rip Torn and Richard Crenna, we hope you like it too as we think this has been one of most favourite podcasts to record.

Also, we have a gap for a film before we close out Season 5 with 'Beetlejuice' so we are inviting all our lovely listeners to submit ideas for a film we can cover - anything goes as Season 4 has been all about 'Miscellaneous' - get in touch via our Facebook Page.
