Our true blue, dinky di mate Adam Flannery from the Cruel and Unusual Nourishment podcast swung by to talk review the Yahoo Serious vehicle, ‘Reckless Kelly’. We hear from Seb’s dad, who worked on the film, Seb’s daughter, who we wish had written the film, and we all wonder who this film is actually for.

Yeah, so we watched the cult 1982 punk flick, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains’, with our bud Maquarie Fletcher, what’s it to you??? Despite not being worth two bob, Mike gets to do his bad Ray Winstone impression, Kane shows his punk credentials and Maq explains why this is her all-time favourite film.

Yo Adrian, we sat down with Maquarie Fletcher to discuss the iconic, ‘Rocky’. Kane explains his love of sports films, Maquarie her love of Apollo Creed and Mike his love of Sly’s reading glasses. If you’d listen, we’d ‘preshiate it.

Put the bunny back in the box and listen up as we talk all about the 1997 hot mess, ‘Con Air’. Mike reveals some of his teen, Con Air related embarrassments, Alex laments the waste of two of her acting heartthrobs, and how this film makes The Rock look like Citizen Kane in comparison.

Nic Cage discusses his many roles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_WDLsLnOSM&feature=youtu.be

Put the water on to boil because we’re discussing the 1987 erotic(?) thriller, ‘Fatal Attraction’ with our old mate Alex Heath. We talk alternate endings, the unimpeachable-ness of Anne Archer and the potential dangers of sex near a sink.

Wherein Kane subjects Seb and Mike to 1984’s, ‘Dune’. Aside from 2/3rds general bafflement, Seb shows his disdain for Toto’s musical score, Kane makes his case for why this film is a masterpiece, and Mike finds out who Alan Smithee is.
