Blokes Watch Movies

Another bit of nostalgia as we reflect on a cinematic and pop culture classic The Karate Kid.

There's life experiences, signing and plenty of banter.

The guys faceoff in another spirited discussion of a childhood idol, this time trying to answer the timeless question: “What movie represents #JCVD’s magnum opus?” And in this argument for the ages, there is just one rule: None of them can vote for #kickboxer.

"Warriors… come out to play-a-yay!” In this episode, the lads take a nocturnal odyssey through a dystopian #newyork with the 1979 #walterhill classic (and childhood favourite), #thewarrriors. Can you dig it?

Mark, David, and Jimmy show their sensitive side through owning up to the movies that get them all emotional, Castaway (David), Warrior(Jim) and  The Champ (Mark)

In this episode, the lads share their favourite lines of dialogue (occasionally accompanied by frankly terrible impressions) from films both classic and forgotten. Don't worry David retained from any Scarface quotes and surprisingly Jim leaves out any Matt Damon monologues.

Not content with showing their age once, in this episode, the lads relive their misspent youth hanging out in independent video shops, and some of the much-loved films they may not have otherwise discovered.

The guys show their age by reminiscing about movies they only discovered via network TV broadcasts. Jim reflects on the John Hughes classice "The Breakfast Club", Mark is surprised by the directorial debut of Bill Paxton with "Frailty". David has some kind of identity crisis as he tells us how "Scarface" changed his life.

Mark, David, and Jimmy take a deep dive into the debut feature of director Nick Love famous for movies such as The Football Factory, The Business and TV show Bulletproof. Relating the file to their own upbringing on the mean streets of southeast London in the 1990s the trio take a trip down memory lane as well as reviewing the film. The show also features mild disagreement on the merits of Danny Dyer an ongoing discussion of their personal opinion of the actors talents.

Rocky. Rambo. Demolition Man. The Expendables. Creed. These are just some of the movies the lads are NOT discussing in this episode devoted to defending — in the Court of Judge Raouf — selections from the mixed bag career one of their childhood idols, Sylvester Stallone.
