- Filme e TV
Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

50- The Fox and the Hound (1980s, Disney #18)
In this episode Paul and I pick back up with our ongoing DIsney coverage with a discussion on 'The Fox and the Hound'. We also pause to say goodbye to Carl Weathers (we recorded this the week he died) and to share our thoughts on hunting, particularly fox hunting (spoiler: we're not fans).

49- Hellraiser (1980s)
This episode- recorded somewhen in 2023- Paul, Kieran and I open the puzzle box that is 1987's 'Hellraiser', the iconic horror from Clive Barker.

48- For Your Eyes Only (1980s, James Bond #12)
Since it's a Bank Holiday in the UK, it seems 100% appropriate for us to return to James Bond franchise today (because- historically- they would always seem to show the films on terrestrial TV on a Bank Holiday) with a conversation between Kieran, Paul and myself on 'For Your Eyes Only' which we recorded in late 2022. A note for historians- Liz Truss was a famously short-lived British Prime Minister in 2022 (she lasted seven weeks in Number 10, though during most of that time the place was shut due to the death of Queen Liz). Oh, and Paul mentions a couple of times a podcast he and I recorded on 'Casino Royal'. In case you wondered if you'd missed this episode, well, you haven't as we never did an episode on that film but I'd love to talk about the '06 'Casino Royal' (the '67 version, not so much) so Paul- call me!

47- Blackadder: The Cavalier Years (1980s)
Off with your head. Dance til you're dead. In this episode Paul and I continue our ongoing Blackadder coverage, by discussing the show's 1989 Red Nose Day special. And since the special is only about 15 minutes long, we also find the time to discuss how we feel about the British royal family, in particular King Prince Charles...

46- The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi (1980s)
This week's episode was recorded a long time ago (2015) in a galaxy far, far away (Wood Green, North London). What we have here is two Star Wars conversations- with Paul and I discussing 'The Empire Strikes Back' and me and Jev talking about 'Return of the Jedi'- originally released on my OG podcast, the SpielbergPod. And listening back to these, 2015 was an interesting time to be a Star Wars fan as we are all eagerly awaited the release of 'The Force Awakens' and the start of the sequel trilogy (oh, what a journey we were about to begin...).

45- The King of Comedy (1980s, Martin Scorsese #7)
In this episode- recorded all the way back in 2022 ("The best things come to those who wait" - Heinz Ketchup) - Kieran and I discuss the Martin Scorsese film, 'The King of Comedy', following Kieran's first-time watch of this. You can expect comparisons to 'Taxi Driver' and even more comparisons to 'Joker' from Todd Phillips.
