Retro Ramble George McGhee & Charlie McGhee

Charlie and George are reviewing "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and are joined by special guest Em from the Verbal Diorama Podcast! 
They cover everything from the source novel, early tests, animation challenges and that good old Spielberg and Zemeckis magic!
 
Em's passion for animation and movies in general made her a great guest. Listeners should check out her podcast with over 200 episodes on various film genres! verbaldiorama.com/iwannalisten

Charlie & George travel to the dangerous jungles of Central Africa to tackle cult 90s blockbuster oddity, Congo!
It has all the ingredients for a blockbuster: based on a Michael Crichton novel, from the makers of Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, creature effects by the late Stan Winston, and a diverse cast including a scenery (and sesame cake) devouring Tim Curry - but is it successful? Tune in to find out!

Charlie and George travel back in time "about 40 years" to finally get around reviewing 1980s classic, The Terminator!   
A huge film for the brothers and many others, it's a deep dive into the low budget thriller that started a franchise, that likes it protagonist, cannot be stopped!
 
One of the most important films of the decade, it made Arnold Schwarzenegger a bonafide star and introduced the world to James Cameron, the most successful director of all time! 

1994 gave us not one, but two skydiving action thrillers, so Charlie and George thought it was only fair to revisit, review and compare both Drop Zone and Terminal Velocity. 
 
It's Wesley Snipes vs Charlie Sheen. It's Gary B (that's Busey) vs the KG - Used to Be. There can only be one victor, but who are the boys backing? The results may surprise you!

In this episode Charlie and George pay tribute to the actor Carl Weathers who sadly passed away. The boys remember the actor through the iconic roles he played during his career.

Charlie and George navigate Jim Henson's Labyrinth for a slice of 1980s kid's fantasy nostalgia!
There's much to discuss, from the script development, the music and ground-breaking puppetry but mostly the majestic and much-missed, David Bowie's Goblin King, Jareth!
 
Be prepared for lots of bad Bowie impressions!
