Maltese Falcon (1941) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jimmy gets Ryan Sim to watch The Maltese Falcon and blows his mind. They talk about the cast, the legacy and Ryan's newfound facination with Bogie, an actor he had never seen before and how being in black and white really works for the movie.
Planet of the Apes (1968) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mario Bernardi and Chris Jarvie are back and they're not monkeying around - that, by the way, is the only money joke you'll hear about the original Planet of the Apes. A ground-breaker for non-human make-up, it also introduced a concept that spawned TV shows and movies right up until today. But does the original hold up or is it just a curiousity. The answer might surprise you.
Dick Tracy (1990) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Larry Smith returns with a bee in his bonnet for the movie Dick Tracy. Larry is totally in love with this movie despite some reservations. Listen to what makes it special for him while Jimmy and engineer Greg (to a lesser degree) roll thier eyes. No really, you might be able to hear them do it.
Road House (1989) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Women are delicate flowers, right? Sometimes but new guest Kelly Holt breaks the mould with her spirited praise of the movie Road House. Guest engineer Greg Dobrowski doesn't help matters with his enthusiastic support, leaving Jimmy wondering what he's missing.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We never thought we'd see a film chosen by guest Bob Kerr we'd actually enjoy. But honest to Peter, Killer Klowns From Outer Space is so quirky and daffy it defies logic and we liked it, we genuinely liked it. We love all our podcasts with Bob, but this just might be our favourite.
