We are back with a bumper episode. We review the movies chosen from the previous podcast (which covered March 1987). Budget David Corman Gremlins knock off "The Munchies" and Australian adventure "Frog Dreaming / The Quest" Starring Henry Thomas (Elliot from E.T.).

This episode Chat GPT has chosen March (again) in 1986 this time. We go through a copy of Smash Hits from the period, discuss some of the lesser known songs from the period as well as some of the more well known Hits.

Also we pick a page from the Argos catalogue from 1986.

Improvised (clearly) no script, we just wing it. What you get is a true reaction from what we see and hear from the day. We are not professional, in any way, what you get is a rough around the edges podcast which you may find yourself reminiscing with us and occasionally laugh along (as we often fall into fits of laughter).

We hope you enjoy coming on this journey with us as much as we enjoy recording it.

Here it is, the second of the 80's Mateys highlights.

The brothers chat all things 80's, from the top 40 UK Charts from, Smash Hits and Movies.

The highlights (Greatest Hits) are part of the previous pod casts that were particular highlights with people (mainly us) for various reasons :-)

Enjoy!

Yes, it is here. Some of the highlights from the very early 80's Mateys Pod Cast episodes. Covering the very early 80's (1980).

Highlights include Johnny Ramones top 10, where he can never remember the album title (not even his own). The brothers also dive into the nonsense lyrics of Matchbox "Buzz Buzz a diddle it"!

Funny, light entertainment in a short, easy to digest podcast.

The Brothers look back at the film chosen in the previous episode, Troll.

Chat GPT chooses the year and month to look back on; March 1987 it is. An amazing year for music and big hair!

New Year special - recorded on New Year's Eve 2025.

80's Mateys look look back at January 1986 where they review the Smash Hits of the month.

Also they review the movie selected from the previous episode, Deadtime Stories.

Christmas Special focusing on December 1986.

A great year for music, including Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, A-Ha and of course Nick Berry (hey?)!!

Merry Christmas from the greatest decade.

The Brothers give a review of films picked from their previous podcast, Hell Island (AKA Attack of the Beast Creatures) and The Lift.

After the film reviews, Chat GPT pick out the month and year for the Brothers to review, this time we land June 1984.. Which turns out to be an amazing month and a very good year. So we have taken the liberty of an extended running time!! You may wish to listen to it in a couple of sittings?!

With articles from Smash Hits, discussions on Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson and much more. Improvised podcast, with no scripts and no real direction... Absolutely brilliant!

It has been over a year since the Brothers last graced us with their 80's podcast. Because they are afraid they will both be dead before they can finish the decade, they have refreshed the format.

With the help of Chat GPT, the Brothers have allowed technology to choose the year (from the 80's) and month. What follows is a off the cuff review of the month. Looking through a copy of Smash Hits (UK edition) from the month and year.

The brothers have gone up in quality with a new professionally made (well, kind of) theme tune which reflects on the decade of the 80's and a wink to the Brothers growing up ...

The next episode will be decided by Chat GPT and we will be reviewing two Horror films, as selected during this episode.

This podcast is definitely worth a listen, even if it is to cure your insomnia!!

Brothers, Graham and Rob return, after a long period missing, to run through the month of September 1981.

Running through the UK Top 40 Singles Chart, The US Billboard Top 100 and tan edition of Smash Hits from the month.

Graham & Rob look back to August 1981.

They review the Smash Hits of the month, and two obscure Horror movies of the time.
