Stay ConnectedTristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids from down under, on a mission to re-watch every movie that meant something from their childhood. Each episode they review a ‘classic’ film from the 80s or 90s, and determine how it stacks up in the modern era.
…They use the term ‘classic’ loosely.

072 - One of the greatest cross-over events of the 90s was the partnership between Tarantino and Rodriguez, the fruits of which emerged as the 1996 mish-mash vampire romp, From Dusk Till Dawn. This movie meant a lot to us growing up, and not just for the Selma Hayek stuff. Ok a little bit for the Salma Hayek stuff (we were teens, give us a break). Looking at this thing with fresh eyes in the land of 2020, this movie only becomes more interesting. It's premise seeming somehow more bold. Tarantino incredibly seeming even MORE creepy. His foot fetish somehow even more pronounced. More, more, more. The list goes on. So join us as we unpack every element of this film of excess from its origin story, plot and all the behind the scenes stuff you come to expect, all in an effort to evaluate how it stacks up in 2020.

071 - After a pretty long run of 90s movies we are back squarely in the 80s with the OTHER big Michael J Fox film from 1985, Teen Wolf. The title says it all really. Michael J Fox plays a teen... wolf. There you have it ladies and gentlemen. But does this thing hold up today, or is it best left in the past? Join us and find out.

070 - another 10 episodes means it's time for another chapter in our ongoing JCVD filmography. This week it's Nowhere to Run, but we are doing things a little bit differently this time around - we have our wives on the show with us! We've been on the road so have coerced our better halves into watching a JCVD film with us and getting in on the podcast action. We hit all the usual stops along the way, but now you get that all-important female perspective included - which is important because this movie has some weird moments to unpack.

069 - This is a big one. Philip K Dick mixed with a little Verhoeven, brought to life with peak-90's practical effects and shaken into absurdity by Arnold - makes this movie operate on any conceivable level. There is pretty much something for everybody here. However, back in the 70s and 80s, this thing wasn't so easy to sell, and was stuck in development hell as it bounced around Hollywood for over a decade, with various combinations of directors and leading men attached - from Patrick Swayze to Richard Dreyfuss. Yep. This movie's origin story is stacked. So join us as we dive into all things Total Recall for about an hour and 20 mins, and discuss how it holds up in 2020.

067 - The year was 1996, a man named Cameron Crowe had spent the previous five years cramming an absurd amount of quotables into one sprawling script, to be delivered through a peak 90s Tom Cruise, and an unknown Renee Zellweger (and an absolutely stacked supporting cast). The result: we all lost our damn minds over the world's cutest kid, and Jerry Maguire become a cultural juggernaut. But that was 24 years ago; just how well does the film hold up in 2020? On our quest to find out, we go deep on the film's origin story and legacy, and ask the big questions - like, how did a successful sports agent fall so broke so immediately after leaving a job with 72 star athletes on the books? Where the hell is Cuba Gooding Jr these days after such an ELECTRIC Oscar-winning performance? And does Jerry even know what a mission statement actually is?

066 - We’re spending another episode in the late 90s this week with the 1998’s tasteless yet sweet comedy, There’s Something About Mary. This movie is very much in what we would call a ‘high risk category’ with regard to how well it holds up, so it’s a juicy exploration this time around. But you know what to expect, it’s all in there - all that good stuff - so dig in!

065 - Our first Aussie movie - about bloody time! And what better place to start than 1999's Two Hands? The film that launched the careers of Heath Ledger and Rose Byrne was a big deal to us in our youth - it was the gritty tale from the underbelly of Sydney that a teenage Tristan and Greg were absolutely frothing for. This was up there with Lock Stock for Aussie teens, and captured a side of Sydney that up until that point, hadn't really been represented on the mainstream big screen. So join us for our Aussiest episode yet, especially if you aren't Aussie!

064 - This has got to be our most requested movie, and I'm not sure why it took us this long to get to it. I guess our request system is flawed? In any case - we've gone and done it - and finally cracked out first Keanu joint. So go prepare yourself a snack and join us as we dive deep into the year that was 1991 and the cultural artefact that is Point Break, with all the detail you have come to expect, and the big questions that need to be asked - like, is this a bad movie, a good-bad movie, a good-good movie, or somehow magically all of the above?

063 - This week we crack open the pristine time capsule that is 1987's Three Men and a Baby. Have you watched this thing in the last 10 years? 20 years? I highly doubt it, but that's a good thing - it makes its fruits just that much sweeter. From peak-Tom Selleck and arguably peak-apartment interior design, to drug dealer sub-plots that culminate in an abandoned construction site. This. Thing. Has. It. All. Of course, we also explore the film's French origins, its ghost stories, its very very 80s sexual politics and the peak 80's specimen that is Tom Selleck. Did we mention Tom Selleck?
