S04E07 - Better Off Dead (1985)
Thursday Sep 02, 2021
Thursday Sep 02, 2021
Yes, it's John Cusack again but this is one of Charlie's favourites.
We are joined by our good friend, Joe Hogarty from the WDWNT Nerd Alert podcast who gives us his verdict on this film that Charlie calls a classic since he first saw it.
It's long (apologies) but treat it like a slice of your favourite cake - listen to one bit and then keep coming back for more!

S04E06 - Howard The Duck (1986)
Sunday Aug 08, 2021
Sunday Aug 08, 2021
The day is finally here - regular listeners will know Charlie's been taunting Amanda with us having to cover Howard The Duck (or Howard: A New Breed Of Hero, if you're outside the US).
We think it's one of our best yet and a fitting podcast for a film that Charlie rates but Amanda had never heard of, never mind seen. Will she think it's a firequacker or just plain fowl?

A firm favourite from Charlie but our special guest, Dom (Charlie's ex-roommate and friend for over 20 years) has a different perspective...

S04E04 - The Great Outdoors (1988)
Monday Jul 19, 2021
Monday Jul 19, 2021
We always like the chance to revisit the wonderful John Candy but here he's joined by the genius that is Dan Aykroyd and Annette Benning (starring in her first movie).
Charlie likes this as it's one of his go-to movie when he likes to feel nostalgic but we're joined again by our daughter Amy - will she give a higher or lower score than Dad?
Enjoy...

S04E03 - The Mosquito Coast (1986)
Sunday Jun 27, 2021
Sunday Jun 27, 2021
Our first 80s film with Harrison Ford! We take a look at this non-Indiana Jones, non-Han Solo film where he has to play a flawed genius, focusing only on himself and his desire to be accepted.
We do our best to lighten a dark film but, inevitably, come back to praising the acting talent on River Phoenix.
The next film will be a comedy - trust me!

S04E02 - The Sure Thing (1985)
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
In our second attempt since the move to video, the audio suffers a bit despite the headset usually being ok - back to the microphone next time so apologies for the quality of Charles (the sound, not the content)
We take a look at this charming youth(!) comedy which is a warm up for When Harry Met Sally (although much better than that) starring the quite marvellous John Cusack and wonder at his ability to shotgun a beer.

S04E01 - Back To School (1986)
Monday May 17, 2021
Monday May 17, 2021
We've upgraded to video and we've premiered on YouTube. If you fancy checking out how great we both look, be prepared for a crushing disappointment when you realise Charlie isn't as handsome as you thought from his voice (Amanda looks great, though!). Please follow the YouTube Channel as well (pretty please with cherries on...)
Kicking off Season 4 where the theme is 'Misc', Charlie thought he'd played it safe by bringing a film that was just behind 'Crocodile Dundee' in box-office takings in 1986 but also becuase it starred Amanda's 'unofficial boyfriend' Robert Downey Jr.
How wrong Charlie was.....

S03E10 - Midnight Run (1988)
Tuesday Apr 06, 2021
Tuesday Apr 06, 2021
This sweary extravaganza sees Robert De Niro as a bounty (not deer) hunter taking Charles Grodin back to LA for breaking his bail.
There are planes, trains and (yes) automobiles but this is not that kind of movie.
In our last episode of Season 3, we discuss De Niro's 4 strands of acting, Charlie decides his rose-tinted spectacles obviously need a clean and we look forward to Season 4.
