#267: Flash Gordon (1980) (with Rhys Parton)

Apr 21 2024 97 mins

Welcome to the 1980s. It's a decade of cheap, cheesy movies. A decade when cinema became more commercial than ever before. To kick off our journey through this deliciously trashy era of film, we're diving into the world of Flash Gordon. After we covered the old-timey serial last year, how could we not check out this remake? Podcaster Rhys Parton joins us for this very silly review.

Star Slammer (1986) [Patreon Bonus Episode]

Apr 14 2024 46 mins

No new episode this week so we're dropping an episode from the Patreon vaults! Star Slammer (aka Prison Ship) is a very sus sci-fi movie about a women's space prison. It's sometimes funny, sometimes annoying, sometimes self-aware, sometimes awful, but constantly aroused. This movie is so aroused there's a planet called Arous in it.Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month!

#266: The Black Hole (1979) (with Rob Lloyd)

[COME SEE 'Shakespeare Ghostbusters' IN MELBOURNE! https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/shakespeare-ghostbusters]It's our last week reviewing movies from the 70s and we're going out with a bang! On this episode, we're talking about 'The Black Hole. It's a sci-fi movie that came out right in the middle of Disney's dark age, an era where the studio experimented with a lot of

#265: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)

Mar 31 2024 103 mins

Finally, a movie that asks the big questions: What would happen if all the tomatoes rose up and started attacking American cities? Turns out it would be really funny! This week, we're reviewing 1978's Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and to say it surpassed expectations is an understatement.Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod

#264: Damnation Alley (1977)

Mar 24 2024 98 mins

Hey, remember Star Wars? The first one that came out in 1977 and surprised everyone, becoming a massive hit and changing Hollywood forever? Well, we're not reviewing Star Wars. No, we're reviewing the movie that 20th Century Fox was banking on being the hit of the year instead of Star Wars. It's called Damnation Alley! Very loosely based on a novel by Roger Zelazny, this tells the

#263: The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (1976)

Mar 17 2024 77 mins

We are revisiting our comic-reading youth this week as we check out 1976's 'The Twelve Tasks of Asterix'. Based on the classic French comic books, we head off on an adventure with our two favourite Gauls, Asterix and Obelix, to thwart Julius Caesar and the rest of those pesky Romans by performing a bunch of impossible tasks. Expect large servings of wild boar, magic potion, fourth-

#262: Dolemite (1975)

Mar 10 2024 79 mins

It's 1975 and we're reviewing one of the biggest surprise hits of that year... Rudy Ray Moore's Dolemite! He's a stand-up comedian who co-wrote, produced, and semi-directed his own blaxploitation crime movie. It's filled with flat line deliveries, cameos from multiple boom mics, a plot that is pretty hard to follow, and heaps more karate than either of us were expecting.Join our Pa

#261: Young Frankenstein / Blazing Saddles (1974) (with Jacob Sacher)

Mar 03 2024 92 mins

For the first bonus battle of the year, we've picked two comedies that have a lot in common. The most obvious similarity is that they are both directed and co-written by Mel Brooks. They also both star Gene Wilder, and they are both parodies of genres that we have done bonus battle specials on last year. What a time to be alive! We're joined by comedian Jacob Sacher to see which of

#260: Soylent Green (1973) (with Zac Rose)

Feb 25 2024 85 mins

After last week's disappointing foray into eco-themed cinema, we made sure to pick a good film from this genre this week and try and figure out the dystopian mystery of 1973's 'Soylent Green'. Well, we already knew the twist, but there was still plenty of cool stuff to discover in this overpopulated hellscape of New York City in 2022. We're joined by Zac Rose (Shakespeare Ghostbust

#259: Frogs (1972)

Feb 18 2024 76 mins

You'd better not be squeamish because this week we're reviewing 1972's 'Frogs', a cult classic horror film that is very boring and very bad. Sam Elliott is in it and he plays a photographer who wants to protect the environment, except for when he doesn't. When he discovers that the wildlife near a rich family's island mansion is killing people, he tries to convince old man Ray Mill
