  • Retro Movie Club Ep#13 - Trick 'r Treat (2007)
    Nov 16 2024

    Welcome to Warren Valley for The Retro Movie Club's Halloween extravaganza!! You'd better follow the rules though, don't blow out your jack o’ lantern before midnight, always give candy to trick or treaters and never take your decorations down before November 1st - otherwise Sam will get you!!
    As well as discussing the movie, we listen to Blake's tales of going bin diving, Rich listens to all of Iron Maiden's albums and we discuss the career of horror legend, Tony Todd. Enjoy this spooktacular episode…watch out for those pesky werewolf parties though!!

    Note: Sorry for the volume issues that Blake was having with his microphone during this episode. A change of recording location meant that an alternative recording device had to be used and as such caused some problems in the final edit.

    "You're behind on points and time is running out. The ref looks half asleep. A quick head butt and a sly punch below the belt and your opponent is toppling over. But as he falls, his knee strikes you a paralysing blow. "Foul!" shouts the crown, and your opponent is disqualified.

    You've won, but in the next championship contest you meet a boxer who knows more dirty tricks than you. It needs skill and cunning, lightning reflexes and deadly strategy. Have you got what it takes to become the World Champion - By Fair Means or Foul?"

    Nov 6 2024

    In episode 12, the Movie Club boys are off-grid and broadcasting from an undisclosed location to avoid detection from the security services! Being careful not to use any of the keywords that will trigger government interception, we talk about Enemy of the State, starring Gene Hackman and Will Smith. We discuss how the film holds up 26 years later, lingerie shop customer service and we try a new beer! As well as all this, we talk about Blake’s nightmare journey to Minehead and discuss more Harry Potter than we anticipated! The NSA have caught up with us, we have to get out of here and hope to be back for our next episode!

  • Retro Movie Club Ep#7 - Strangers on a Train (1951)
    May 17 2024

    Blake and Rich take on a Hitchcock classic in episode 7 with Strangers on a Train. We talk plotting the perfect murder, horn-rimmed glasses and playing tennis without a ball! Join us as we discuss our preconceptions of 1950s society and whether it is acceptable to simulate a strangling at a dinner party. We also examine the unexpected importance of a carousel to this movie and we see how this classic film can be transformed into an equally wonderful 80s comedy. Oh, and we talk crêpe…so much crêpe!

    Apr 10 2024

    Rich and Blake take on The Big Lebowski in this episode of the Retro Movie Club. The Cohen brothers 1998 film is placed under the spotlight where we try to give our views of the film, and some of those of our listeners also. We also talk crêpe, a lot of crêpe. Sorry about that 🙂
