We've got cards, we've got guns, we've got cockney rhyming slang. It was a fresh of breath air, with intricate plot mechanics and a guy beating another guy with a sex toy. My kinda film. We loved it when were munchkins, barely old enough to go bashin' skulls with our Pa, but how does it hold up now? Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

Pull your favorite doll close, this week we're down to CHILD'S PLAY! With the Aubrey Plaza starring remake currently in the cinemas, we take a look at the original movie that made children afraid of their own toys. Starring Brad Dourif, Catherine Hicks and one of the Sarandons, this movie and the pint-sized monster gave us literal nightmares when we were younger, but how does it hold up to three alleged adults?Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

This week we go to bat with MR. DESTINY, the 1990 fantasy movie starring Jim Belushi as a mediocre white man whose life would be anything but mediocre if he'd just hit that ball during the big game. It's like "It's A Wonderful Life", if Jimmy Stewart's biggest problem was that he wanted to bone the bosses wife. Also starring Linda Hamilton, Rene Russo and the great Michael Caine, we loved this movie when we were younger, but how does it hold up today?Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

Unconstipate your thoughts, this week we go looking for FINDING FORRESTER, the 2000 dramatic film starring Sean Connery, Rob Brown and Busta Rhymes about the special friendship between a reclusive writer and a intelligent and promising young man whose brother is Busta Rhymes. Directed by Gus Van Sant, this is the film where Sean Connery says "You're the man now, dog!" and also, Busta Rhymes! Anna Paquin is there too, probably to get Busta's autograph. This movie inspired us when we were younger, and taught us that we're the man now, dog.

With the live action remake currently in theaters, we rub the lamp and make a wish to discuss ALADDIN! Starring Robin Williams as the one and only Genie, this 1992 Disney animated feature was part of the "Disney renaissance", you remember, when Disney expended all their energy creating original masterpieces instead of releasing lukewarm remakes. This movie blew our minds with its thrilling animation and energetic songs, but how does it hold up today? Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

Attention cadets! Your assignment: POLICE ACADEMY, the 1984 comedy starring Steve Guttenberg, Kim Cattrell and the guy who makes noises with his mouth! Also featuring G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith, this movie spawned seven sequels, which should be a prosecutable offense under the law. We loved this movie as when we were juvenile civilians, but how does it hold up now?Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.

Put on your dark sunglasses, this week we go on the road with THE BLUES BROTHERS, the 1980 musical comedy starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, along with Carrie Fisher, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, James Brown and all those cool cats. Directed by Jon Landis, this movie was a huge success and cemented the star status of these SNL alumni, but how does it hold up now? Listen here and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher.
