S03E03 - Bloodsport (1988)
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
We take a look at what is considered to be Jean Claude Van Damme's breakout movie but, of course, we dispute that.
It has an Oscar winner hiding in there somewhere, a pair of inept cops, a reporter who has forgotten how to investigate a story, a fighting contest that becomes a tourist attraction, a guy that develops deep a lasting friendships in just under 4 days and a lot of JVCD doing the splits.

S03E02 - Escape From New York (1981)
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
Directed by John Carpenter, this is considered to be a classic but, whoa there, Charlie and Amanda might have other ideas.
Starring Kurt Russell, Donald Pleasance, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Issac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau and Harry Dean Stanton, this paints a dystopian vision of the future (which is actually our past).
We marvel at the lack of CGI, considering this was post-Star Wars, wonder where the eye patch came from and also if it has any parallels with what's going on today.
Oh, and we get allegory and metaphor mixed up (but definitely know the meaning of irony).
Enjoy!

We are joined by Joe, Jack and Taylor - our good friends from the Nerd Alert podcast (https://podcasts.wdwnt.com/category/nerdalert/).
In this Season 2 finale, we swap stories about school, guess the ages of supposed teenagers and Amanda forgets who Ian McKellen is.
Oh, and we also discuss the film.
Hope you like this - recording it was great fun!

S02E09 - Weird Science (1985)

Thursday Sep 24, 2020
In this (bonus) episode, we needed to cover Weird Science (1985) before our season finale.
We discuss Nerds vs Robert Downey Jr, body envy problems, Super-Computers that didn't exist and the little known fact that this was called 'Cool Magic With Lisa' abroad.
We do talk about the film...honest!

S02E08 - Pretty In Pink (1986)
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
In this penultimate Season 2 episode we look at the John Hughes classic 'Pretty In Pink' (1986) starring Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald and the can-do-no-wrong James Spader.
Listen in astonishment as Amanda gives it an truly unbelievable score out of 10, marvel at Charlie's adulation, appreciation and love of the entire film, a Robert Downey Jr reference that (predictably) makes Amanda go all mushy and wonder 'where are all the adults in this film?'

S02E07 - Less Than Zero (1987)
Sunday Aug 16, 2020
Sunday Aug 16, 2020
Sorry for the delay but we're back and this time dealing with the dark film that is Less Than Zero (1987).
With that darkness, while there's no swearing, there are vague references to more serious issues so perhaps not one for the juniors this time..
We look at what happens when a film studio take the source material and then make a different film, the loneliness affecting each character and, of course, I praise James Spader to the hilt (again).

S02E06 - Mannequin (1987)
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
We take a look at the 1987 film 'Mannequin' starring Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall and James Spader (who can do no wrong).
We are joined by our budding film reviewer (aka daughter) Amy who has a different theory on mortality, Amanda gets slightly riled as she confuses Clint Eastwood with Sylvester Stallone and I try to make sense of how nobody in the entire city can see a doll come to life.
As ever, there's 'Little Does She Know' where the girls work together and Amy earns her guessing stripes.
