S1 Ep 39The Game
ETo describe The Game as a Thriller is an understatement. Michael Douglas and Sean Penn star in a wild ride about a man celebrating his birthday and receiving a strange and intriguing present from his brother.

EA cracking cast in a Gangster film set in the 1930's. Robert De Niro, Kevin Costner, Sean Connery - does it get much better? The story of Prohibition and the chase to bring down Al Capone.

Stephen has some amazing insights into the movie, its stars and the locations it was filmed so strap in for the Best Movies You've Never Seen featuring ROCKY thanks to Fetch and Hisense!
S1 Ep 36Gallipoli
The 1981 story of Gallipoli was a school trip movie for Stephen Fenech, while Trevor Long has never seen it. This is less a story of war and more a story of the mindset of a nation and its citizens in wartime. Nothing we can relate to today. A very young Mel Gibson before his rise to fame stars and brings a sombre mood and reflection to us all as we watch it today around ANZAC Day. With thanks and respect to the service men and women who put their lives before ours today and in the years before now.
S1 Ep 36Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Jim Carrey's breakout role that showcases his brilliance as a comedic actor using every fibre of his being to portray the role of the crazy "Pet Detective". The Miami Dolphins football team have had a crime take place, which calls for Ace's input. His investigation uncovers a lot of hidden "treats" - and it's a laugh a minute. Stephen Loves it, and introduces it to Trevor for the first time thanks to Fetch and Hisense
S1 Ep 35Goodfellas
EThis movie may well be the embodiment of this very show. Stephen Fenech rates GoodFellas as one of his absolute favourite movies of all time. Trevor Long has never seen it. Sit with us as we talk about the cast, the facts, the bits and bobs about this film as we walk through it scene by scene thanks to Fetch and Hisense. With a cast like De Niro, Liotta, Pesci and more - it's hard to argue against this one.
S1 Ep 34Predator
EArnold Schwarzenegger is the leader of an elite team of paramilitary rescue experts, they take to the jungle on a mission that turns out to be more than what it seemed. Under attack, the attacker goes unseen, but who - or what - it is is next level. Directed by John McTiernan, this is one of Stephen's favourites, but what will Trev think after the first viewing. Fire up your Fetch on your Hisense TV and check it out with us.
S1 Ep 33Good Will Hunting
EThis may well be the best example of this podcast yet. Stephen Fenech has seen Good Will Hunting more times than it had Oscar nominations. While Trevor Long has never seen it. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon combine to create a drama about a young math genius working as a Janitor at MIT who goes on a journey of self-discovery, love and more. Robin Williams stars as his therapist, and Minnie Driver his love interest. A fascinating story that makes you think about almost every aspect of it - in a good way.
S1 Ep 32A Quiet Place
Trevor Long has never seen or even heard of this movie. Yet Stephen Fenech has seen it multiple times and rates it quite highly. Directed by and Starring John Krasinski and his wife Emily Blunt, it's a really fascinating tale of a family, stuck in some post-apocalyptic scenario, where they must not make noises - for reasons that will become quite accurate. It's fascinating as a script, as a story, as well as how it's both shot and sounds. Stephen and Trevor will unpack this after the first viewing by Trev on his Hisense TV via the Fetch universal search.
S1 Ep 31Leon: The Professional
ELuc Besson directs this assassin's tale starring Jean Reno and Gary Oldman - but with a standout starring debut movie performance by Natalie Portman. Portman is the young 12-year-old Mathilda who is reluctantly taken in by Léon, a professional assassin, after her family is murdered. An unusual relationship forms as she becomes his protégée and learns the assassin's trade. Stephen Rates this highly, but Trev's never heard of it. So tune in as we unpack the movie end to end and discuss it's variations, strange scenes and overall story line.
S1 Ep 30Ghostbusters
Who you gunna call? Ghostbusters. Sure, Trev knows of the movie, and the characters and of course the song - but what is the actual story line. Follow along as we revisit one of the Best Movies made, and how it's story of creation is a thing of wonder. Stephen unpacks some things you may not know, while Trev shares his views on the movie and scenes throughout. All thanks to Fetch and Hisense!
S1 Ep 29The Shawshank Redemption
EThis one breaks the trend, because Trev knows and loves this movie. Join Trevor and Stephen as they recap the great movie The Shawshank Redemption. A box-office Flop, now highly regarded for the Prison Story, portrayed by Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. Stephen breaks down the facts of the movie and some things you might never know. Enjoy the Shawshank thanks to Fetch and Hisense
S1 Ep 2812 Angry Men
A black and white classic, with a cast of the biggest names of the era. Unique because of it's simplicity, yet a complex story. 12 Men are locked in the Jury room to deliberate after a trial. How will they vote, and how will they reach a conclusion? Trevor and Stephen discuss a movie Stephen loves, but Trevor has never heard of.
S1 Ep 27Independence Day
Talk about blockbusters, Independence Day is an epic, the 1994 Alien Invasion film stars Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum and so many more. Stephen's a massive fan - of course, but Trev's never seen it. So together they unpack the details of one hell of a rollercoaster ride of a movie.
S1 Ep 26A Bronx Tale
EThis is one of Stephen Fenech's favourite movies of all time, so when he realised Trevor Long hadn't seen it - well, it had to be covered on the show. It's a 1993 release, set in the sixties about a young boy in the bronx who's life and upbringing is torn between his hard working dad and a local gangster. Starring and Directed by Robert De Niro it's got that class from the start, but co-star Chazz Palminteri's role is more than just as an actor in this film - as we'll discuss. Watch it now on Fetch up on your big-screen Hisense TV then join us for the Best Movies you've Never seen.
S1 Ep 25Friday Night Lights
A sporting story based on real events. A small-town Texas High School has the eyes of the town on them. This is the story of the season leading up to the State Championships. How everything can turn on a dime. Stephen has seen it a lot, rates the movie highly, Trevor's never seen it. But this movie has a lot more about it that resonates. Catch up if you've never seen it by watching Friday Night Lights on Fetch via your big-screen Hisense TV.
S1 Ep 24Stand By Me
EThe 1986 film Stand by Me is less of a blockbuster more of a classic, and in so many ways. A breakout cast with names that today are instantly recognisable, this is a coming-of-age film directed by Rob Reiner but it is based on Stephen King's 1982 novella The Body Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell are the four boys who head off to search for a Body. Stephen knows it well, Trev thinks he knows part of it. Together, they unpack this classic from the 80's thanks to Fetch and Hisense
S1 Ep 23Pulp Fiction
EPulp Fiction, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino is one hell of a classic in so many ways. Starring John Travolta in his comeback role alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. It's funny, witty, brutal, and an all round great watch - but what will Trev think? He's watching for the first time while Stephen picks up new things on his hundredth go-around. Watch on Fetch up on your big-Screen Hisense TV today!
S1 Ep 22AVATAR
James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar tops the charts as the highest grossing movie of all time, and it was ahead of its time. This film features some of the most impressive visual effects in cinema history, to the point it had to be filmed only when the technology required was available. Aussie Sam Worthington has the lead in this clash between the Mining Giant and the local population. It's one of Stephen's favourites but this is the first time Trev's watched it. Watch it now using Fetch up on your Hisense TV and then follow along as we unpack this cracking tale.
S1 Ep 21One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
EAn Oscar Winning classic - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a docu-like look at the lives of the men inside a mental institution. Jack Nicholson stars as Randle McMurphy - new to the ward but his situation is different to most there as he finds out. An amazing cast, including Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched, while we also see the film debuts for Christopher Lloyd and Brad Dourif. Stephen knows it like the back of his hand, but this is Trev's first time watching. Follow along as we unpack the move thanks to Fetch and Hisense
S1 Ep 20Die Hard
EDie Hard is NOT a Christmas Movie - Or is it? That's a big part of the debate around this brilliant film. Bruce Willis stars as the one man in the wrong place at the wrong time, but can he save the day - and his Marriage?? Stephen has seen this one a LOT of times, Trev, in this case has seen it - but his views on the Christmas "theme" might not go down well with some.
S1 Ep 19The Martian
EMatt Damon is an Astronaut and he gets stuck on Mars all alone, left for dead by his crew. He has to survive years, in a space camp built to last just weeks.

S1 Ep 16American Psycho
EWell this is a bit different - American Psycho is a 2000 black comedy directed by Mary Harron and it's one of Stephen's favourites, because he read the book a heck of a lot of times and wants a movie representation to be faithful to the book. It's about excess and selfishness of the Yuppy era in the late 1980s, starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman somehow Trevor and Stephen bring Seinfeld into the episode. This is a podcast about a movie that everyone's seen - except Trevor.
