    Episode 241 - Battleship

    Oz and Curtis are loading the thrill-cannons, calling out "B-12," and hoping we don't hear the words "you sank my battleship" to break down the roaring, metal-crunching Sci-Fi Action spectacle: Battleship!Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) is a rebellious naval officer who finds himself thrust into leadership during an international maritime exercise off the coast of Hawaii. The routine drills turn into a global fight for survival when a highly advanced extraterrestrial armada arrives, dropping an impenetrable force field over the ocean and isolating a handful of destroyers. Armed with old-school strategy, a crew that includes a fearless weapons specialist (Rihanna), and an actual World War II museum ship, humanity has to find a way to sink the invaders before they can signal reinforcements.We break down the film’s magnificent absurdity: Peter Berg’s signature high-energy military aesthetic, the literal integration of the board game's mechanics (yes, the radar grid scene!), Liam Neeson dropping authoritative one-liners, and the sheer joy of watching a 70-year-old museum ship drift like a muscle car. Is Battleship an underrated masterpiece of pure Alien Invasion popcorn cinema, or just a movie that proves you can build an entire $200 million epic around a chicken burrito? Tune in for our full Battleship 2012 movie review!If you’re into analyzing over-the-top blockbusters, appreciating the peak of early 2010s CGI destruction, or listening to two dudes who would definitely panic and fire the pegs in the completely wrong direction, this episode is for you.To secure your content and shield your fleet from alien artillery, steam straight ahead to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as loud as a 16-inch guns and guaranteed to be an action-packed listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflix⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix#moviepodcast #filmpodcast #comedypodcast #filmreview #moviereview

    Episode 240 - Son in Law

    Oz and Curtis are putting on the overalls, hopping on the combine harvester, and trying to learn the art of the "grind" without throwing out our backs to break down Son in Law!Rebecca Warner (Carla Gugino) is a wholesome country girl who goes off to college in Los Angeles and undergoes a total culture shock, thanks in large part to her wildly eccentric, hyperactive resident advisor, Crawl (Pauly Shore). When Thanksgiving break rolls around, Rebecca invites Crawl back to her family’s traditional South Dakota farm to save her from a controlling hometown boyfriend—pretending he’s her new fiancé. Can a neon-wearing, valley-speaking party animal survive early mornings, square dances, and a very skeptical father, or is the Warner family farm about to be totally ruined?We break down the film’s weirdly wholesome charm: Pauly Shore’s peak era of physical comedy, a radiant early-career performance from Carla Gugino, the great supporting cast (including Tiffani Thiessen and Lane Smith), and the movie's surprisingly sweet message about acceptance. Is Son in Law the most rewatchable Fish Out of Water movie of the 1990s and a true Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves that the best way to fix a tractor is with a little bit of "Weasel" magic? Tune in for our full Son in Law 1993 movie review!"Munching on some grindage!" — A philosophy that applies equally to Thanksgiving dinner and a heavy breakdown of 90s cinema.If you’re into analyzing simple comedies, appreciating the unique cultural phenomenon of Pauly Shore, or listening to two dudes who would definitely accidentally let all the farm animals loose on day one, this episode is for you.To secure your content and avoid a major harvesting disaster, head straight over to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as fresh as country air and guaranteed to be a totally righteous listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflix⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix#moviepodcast #filmpodcast #comedypodcast #filmreview #moviereview

    Episode 239 - Witness

    Oz and Curtis are putting away the badges, grabbing the hand saws, and trying to blend in with the local community without accidentally starting an industrial incident to break down the 80s Neo-Noir Thriller: Witness!When a young Amish boy named Samuel (Lukas Haas) witnesses a brutal murder in a Philadelphia train station bathroom, detective John Book (Harrison Ford) is assigned to the case. After realizing the killers are high-ranking corrupt cops within his own department, a wounded Book is forced to hide out in the boy's rural Amish community to protect Samuel and his widowed mother, Rachel (Kelly McGillis). Cut off from the modern world, Book must adapt to a pacifist lifestyle while knowing the threat from his past is steadily closing in.We break down the film’s masterful execution: Peter Weir’s incredible ability to balance a gritty police procedural with a quiet, respectful look at the Amish way of life, the sizzling chemistry between Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis, and the legendary, community-defining barn-raising scene. Is Witness one of the most perfectly paced Suspense Thrillers of the 1980s and a definitive Best Picture Nominee, or just a movie that proves the best way to deal with a bully is a well-placed punch in a cornfield? Tune in for our full Witness 1985 movie review!If you’re into analyzing genre-blending cinema, appreciating the dramatic depths of Harrison Ford, or listening to two dudes who would absolutely fail at building a barn from scratch, this episode is for you.To secure your content and avoid the corrupt elements of the net, follow the horse and buggy straight to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as solid as hand-hewn oak and guaranteed to be an engrossing listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflix⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix#moviepodcast #filmpodcast #comedypodcast #filmreview #moviereview

    Episode 238 - Friday the 13th The Final Chapter

    Oz and Curtis are heading to the shores of Crystal Lake, checking the morgue for "corpses" that won't stay put, and trying to master the weirdest dance moves of the 80s to break down the definitive slasher sequel: Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter!After his supposed death at the end of Part 3, Jason Voorhees (Ted White) wakes up in a hospital morgue and carves a bloody path back to his home turf. Waiting for him is a new group of ill-fated teenagers—including the eccentric Jimmy (Crispin Glover)—and the resourceful Jarvis family. It’s here we meet young Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman), a mask-making kid who might just be the only person capable of matching Jason’s survival instincts.We break down why this is widely considered the best of the "human" Jason era: the return of Tom Savini to provide some of the most visceral kills in the series, Joseph Zito’s gritty direction, and the sheer weirdness of the ensemble cast. Is The Final Chapter the ultimate 80s Slasher and the high point of the Friday the 13th franchise, or just a movie that proves "final" is a very relative term in the world of horror? Tune in for our full Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter review!"He's killing me! He's killing me!" — A line that perfectly sums up the weekend for anyone staying within ten miles of Crystal Lake.If you’re into analyzing horror movie tropes, appreciating the art of practical makeup effects, or listening to two dudes who would definitely be the first ones to go "check out that noise" in the woods, this episode is for you.To secure your content and survive the night, follow the machete trail straight to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as sharp as Jason's blade and guaranteed to be a killer listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflix⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix

    Episode 237 - Twister

    Oz and Curtis are strapping the sensors to the truck, checking the Doppler radar, and trying not to get leveled by an F5 to break down the roaring, debris-scattering 90s Blockbuster: Twister! Bill "The Extreme" Harding (Bill Paxton) is trying to get his divorce papers signed by his estranged wife Jo (Helen Hunt), but the weather has other plans. As a massive outbreak of tornadoes sweeps across Oklahoma, Bill and Jo’s rival storm-chasing teams race to deploy "Dorothy"—a revolutionary weather-sensing device—into the heart of a twister. It’s a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where the "cat" is a mile-wide vortex of destruction. We break down why this movie still holds up: the incredible Jan de Bont pacing, the chemistry between Paxton and Hunt, the terrifying sound design, and the ILM visual effects that set a new standard for destruction. Is Twister the greatest Disaster Movie ever made and a total 90s Classic, or just a movie that proves you should never try to outrun a storm in a red Dodge Ram? Tune in for our full Twister 1996 movie review!

    Episode 236 - Less Than Zero

    Oz and Curtis are heading back to LA, putting on the oversized linen blazers, and trying to stay "cool" while everything falls apart to break down the stylishly grim 80s Drama: Less Than Zero! Clay (Andrew McCarthy) returns home from college for Christmas break to find that his best friend Julian (Robert Downey Jr.) has spiraled into a life-threatening drug addiction, and his ex-girlfriend Blair (Jami Gertz) is caught in the middle. As Julian’s debts to a sleazy dealer named Rip (James Spader) mount, Clay tries to pull his friends out of the abyss of high-society decadence before there's nothing left but "zero." We break down the film’s striking legacy: Robert Downey Jr.’s hauntingly prophetic and career-defining performance, the lush but cold cinematography by Edward Lachman, and how the film differs from the notorious Bret Easton Ellis novel. Is Less Than Zero a powerful 80s Cult Classic and a definitive cautionary tale, or just a movie that proves that even in paradise, the bill eventually comes due? Tune in for our full Less Than Zero 1987 movie review! If you’re into analyzing 80s "Brat Pack" cinema, appreciating films with a killer aesthetic, or listening to two dudes who would definitely get kicked out of a James Spader-hosted party, this episode is for you.

    Episode 235 - The Lost Boys

    Oz and Curtis are stocking up on holy water, checking the attic for sleeping bloodsuckers, and trying to ignore that oily saxophone player to break down the definitive 80s Vampire Classic: The Lost Boys! When Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move to the suspiciously murdery coastal town of Santa Carla, they find more than just boardwalk fries. Michael falls in with a pack of motorcycle-riding vampires led by the chillingly cool David (Kiefer Sutherland), leaving Sam to team up with the local comic-book-store "experts," the Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander), to save his brother’s soul. We break down the film’s legendary status: the flawless Joel Schumacher direction, the breakout "Two Coreys" chemistry, Kiefer Sutherland’s menacing screen presence, and a soundtrack that still slaps harder than a wooden stake. Is The Lost Boys the greatest 80s Horror movie ever made and an immortal Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves the most dangerous thing in California isn't an earthquake—it’s a guy in a trench coat? Tune in for our full The Lost Boys 1987 movie review! If you’re into analyzing horror-comedy perfection, appreciating the absolute peak of 80s style, or listening to two dudes who would definitely get tricked into eating "maggots" by a group of cool bikers, this episode is for you.

    Episode 234 - Don't Tell Her It's Me

    Oz and Curtis are grabbing the leather jackets, hopping on the Harley, and trying to master the art of the "bad boy" persona—without the help of a New Zealand accent! We’re diving deep into the bizarre, high-concept 90s romantic comedy: Don't Tell Her It's Me (aka The Boyfriend School). Gus Kubicek (Steve Guttenberg) is a sensitive cartoonist and cancer survivor who finds himself rejected by the beautiful journalist Emily (Jami Gertz) for being just a bit too "nice." Enter Gus’s overbearing romance-novelist sister, Lizzie (Shelley Long), who decides the only cure for his loneliness is a total identity overhaul. Suddenly, the "nice guy" is gone, replaced by Lobo Marunga: a long-haired, motorcycle-riding "lone wolf" from Down Under. But how long can a wig and a fake tan hold up a relationship built on a total lie? We break down the film’s absolute commitment to the absurd: Steve Guttenberg’s turn as Lobo, Shelley Long’s peak 90s meddling energy, a pre-Twin Peaks Kyle MacLachlan, and the movie's wild tonal shifts between "medical drama" and "wacky makeover comedy." Is Don't Tell Her It's Me a hidden gem of 90s Rom-Com history and a definitive Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves that maybe you should tell her it's you? Tune in for our full Don't Tell Her It's Me 1990 movie review! If you’re into analyzing bizarre rom-com tropes, appreciating the sheer range of "The Gutte," or listening to two dudes who would definitely fail "Boyfriend School" within the first five minutes, this episode is for you.
