Oldie But A Goodie

#267: Flash Gordon (1980) (with Rhys Parton)

Ep. 267

Welcome to the 1980s. It's a decade of cheap, cheesy movies. A decade when cinema became more commercial than ever before. To kick off our journey through this deliciously trashy era of film, we're diving into the world of Flash Gordon. After we covered the old-timey serial last year, how could we not check out this remake? Podcaster Rhys Parton joins us for this very silly review.

  • 270. #270: Videodrome / The Dead Zone (1983)

    01:44:00
    Double the horror, double the mystery, double the Cronenberg. This week, we've got a double feature for you! Two movies by the father of body horror, David Cronenberg. We have a Stephen King adaptation in the form of 'The Dead Zone', which is a fairly toned-down psychological drama about Christopher Walken and his mind-powers. Then we go all out with 'Videodrome', a truly messed up horror movie about television, packed to the rim with gore and visceral imagery that won't be easily shaken from your mind.0:08:49 - The Dead Zone [Spoiler Free Impressions]0:19:28 - Videodrome [Spoiler Free Impressions]0:28:01 - Bonus Battle [Spoiler Warning!][Please note that timecodes will be a minute or two off due to ad placements.]Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

  • 269. #269: Blade Runner (1982) (with Sandy Whittem)

    01:21:20
    What does it mean to be a human? How can we tell who are synthetic replicants and who are not? How much money did Coca-Cola pay to be plastered all over this movie? These are questions that we'll be tackling this week as we head to 1982 and review Ridley Scott's Blade Runner! Based off the novel by Philip K. Dick, it's about Harrison Ford trying to hunt down Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah, figuring out a little bit about humanity along the way, and also catching feelings for Sean Young's shoulder pads.

  • 268. #268: Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981)

    01:20:12
    Well, we're reviewing another Tarzan movie. What could go wrong? ...a lot apparently, this is one of the worst movies we have ever reviewed. 1981's 'Tarzan, the Ape Man' is an awful adaptation of the Tarzan story, featuring some of the most uncomfortable scenes we've ever had to watch the podcast, as well as some of the worst behind-the-scenes stories we've ever uncovered while recording this podcast.

  • 266. #266: The Black Hole (1979) (with Rob Lloyd)

    01:29:11
    [COME SEE 'Shakespeare Ghostbusters' IN MELBOURNE! https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/shakespeare-ghostbusters]It's our last week reviewing movies from the 70s and we're going out with a bang! On this episode, we're talking about 'The Black Hole. It's a sci-fi movie that came out right in the middle of Disney's dark age, an era where the studio experimented with a lot of different genres and barely any of them paid off. Saying that this movie is very unlike Disney is an understatement: it's dark, it's dry, and it's more Star Trek than Star Wars which is extremely unlike anything the studio would make now.

  • 265. #265: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)

    01:43:35
    Finally, a movie that asks the big questions: What would happen if all the tomatoes rose up and started attacking American cities? Turns out it would be really funny!

  • 264. #264: Damnation Alley (1977)

    01:38:30
    Hey, remember Star Wars? The first one that came out in 1977 and surprised everyone, becoming a massive hit and changing Hollywood forever? Well, we're not reviewing Star Wars. No, we're reviewing the movie that 20th Century Fox was banking on being the hit of the year instead of Star Wars. It's called Damnation Alley! Very loosely based on a novel by Roger Zelazny, this tells the story of a bunch of people trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There's a cool car in it, a bunch of giant scorpions, and a teenage Jackie Earle Haley!Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

  • 263. #263: The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (1976)

    01:17:10
    We are revisiting our comic-reading youth this week as we check out 1976's 'The Twelve Tasks of Asterix'. Based on the classic French comic books, we head off on an adventure with our two favourite Gauls, Asterix and Obelix, to thwart Julius Caesar and the rest of those pesky Romans by performing a bunch of impossible tasks. Expect large servings of wild boar, magic potion, fourth-wall breaking, racism (oops, these comics are a little dated), and us reminiscing about our childhood.Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?
