- Forrest Gump (1994)
015 - Do you know what album sold over 12 million copies in 1994? That's right, the Forrest Gump soundtrack. This thing was ridiculously huge, swept the oscars and remains endlessly quotable today - but is it actually any good? Or is it just an empty vessel for 'member berry delivery?

1 hr 11 min - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
014 - From one organised crime film to another. From the Mob, to the Foot. Yes, it's 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Turtlemania was massive in our youth, but how did it all start? Where the hell did these turtles come from and why did we love them so much? We look at the gritty origins of these gritty turtles in their first and grittiest film. Gritty.

1 hr 1 min - Goodfellas (1990)
013 - Let's. Get. Serious. We look at our first Scorsese film, Goodfellas. We put on our film student hats (we are not film students, but we do have hats), and feast on this delicious audio visual dish from all kinds of angles. From Scorsese's use of music in film, to Joe Pesci's use of music in life that no one has ever heard. Also Tristan's mic wigs out about 52 mins in and no one knows why. Oops.

1 hr 21 min - A League of Their Own (1992)
012 - How many female legends can you fit into one motion picture? This is the question 'A League of Their Own' attempts to answer. This was a family favourite in both of our households growing up, and is a fascinating watch in 2019 for all the reasons you might expect. We go deep on its origins and its maestro, Penny Marshall, and uncover that the story of this film getting made ain't all that different than the story it's trying to tell. All this plus bad John Lovitz impressions!

1 hr 7 min - Pet Sematary (BONUS MINISODE)
011 - Given the release of the Pet Sematary reboot, we decided to take things back to 1989 and take another look at the original. In our first ever BONUS MINISODE, we take a whistle stop tour through the Stephen King-obsessed late 80s, and meet a family that really should have just built a damn fence, Honestly, a fence would have fixed all their problems. Anyway, they didn't, and evil ensued.

28 min - Bloodsport (1988)
010 - For our 10th episode we finally cover our first JCVD picture - THE first JCVD picture - Bloodsport! While we're at it, we should mention that every 10th episode of 'Double Impact' will look at a Jean-Claude Van Dam movie in chronological order. This being the first, we explore some big questions like, where did Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg came from? How did he get this movie? What's the deal with the real Frank Dux? Why is Steven Seagal such a d*ck? We even breaking out our patented 'how Van Dam is this movie?' evaluation test. #science

1 hr 20 min - Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
009 - Today we're talking about the great Eddie Murphy as Ahkwel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop. The film is the OG action comedy. This thing is loaded with killer performances, from Murphy, Reinhold and Pinchot and more, but we also dive into the bizarre road this film took in being made. We mean it. It is truly bizarre.

008 - Join us on a journey through time and space as we go back to '86 and dive into the wonderful world of Jim Henson's Labyrinth. We go deep on the muppet-man's most twisted of tales leaving no stone unturned - We talk puppetry, we talk muppetry, and we of course talk Davis Bowie's crotch-etry.

1 hr 3 min - Goldeneye (1995)
007 - What better movie for our 007th episode than the 90s classic, Goldeneye? It's the film that reinvigorated a franchise, and the game that triggered the 'Nintendo thumb' epidemic of '97 - but how does the Brosnan era stack up against the Craig era?

About Double Impact
From the publisher's feed
Tristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids from down under, on a mission to re-watch every movie that meant something from their childhood. Each episode they review a 'classic' film from the 80s or 90s, and determine how it stacks up in the modern era.
...They use the term 'classic' loosely.
