  • The Commando (1985) Problem

       

    It's time to welcome Arnold back to the only podcast that guarantees neither host will ever attempt an impression of the big guy.

  • The Last Action Hero (1993) Problem

       

    Oh, Arnold, you always did enjoy poking fun at yourself, didn't you? This is THE ultimate movie for that, the movie that got destroyed at the Box Office by Jurassic Park. One of our duo loves this movie and the other is Jimmy.  They discuss the confusing world building and also chat about the Razzies for a bit. Contains strong language and stay tuned to the end to hear what our Thanksgiving episode will be about.

  • The Red Heat (1988) Problem

     

    It's movie two of Schwarzenegger season as we cover his second (though released first) movie of 1988. And it's totally different from Twiiiiins. This also marks Jen's second foray into the world of Walter Hill for the podcast. Did she like this better than 48 Hrs? Contains strong language and political views that may not match your own but that's okay, it's all good. Stay tuned at the end to hear what is Arnie movie number three.

  • So, What‘s the Problem? Twins (1988)

               

     It's the first movie of our Arnie season and Jen has picked Twiiiiiiiins! A movie neither had seen in decade. It's a deceptively light and fluffy family comedy that is actually occasionally dark and this week's discussion reflects that.  It's also a short episode this week as time was not on our host's side.  Contains strong language.

  • Drop the Pilot: The Elvira Show

                     

     Jimmy and Tysto chat about the early 90s attempt to spin off Elvira into the world of sit-com. They'd already tried movies and comics, so why not? Sadly the gritty police procedural never happened. Our hosts also talk about Seinfeld and Friends, because, sit-coms! Contains strong language.

  • So, What‘s the Problem? Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

       

    Happy Halloween, Guys and Ghouls! To celebrate the occasion, Jimmy and Jen chat about the embarrassing drunken brother of the Halloween franchise, Season of the Witch! They talk about terrible protagonists, pointless romances and have a chat about the franchise as well as others. Excuse our hosts if they seem "off" this episode, Jimmy was fighting a stomach bug and Jen had just woken up, given they were recording at 9am her time on a Saturday. Contains strong language. Stick to the end to hear what movie season (not month) is coming up on the podcast next.

  • So, What‘s the Problem? Scream 3 (2000)

       

    It's spooky season and what better way to celebrate it by covering a movie that sits at number 30 of 50 on Jimmy's "Least Favourite Films" list on Letterboxd. It's Scream 3, people! They discuss the new cast, script problems, bad story decisions and regretful hair choices. Contains strong language and spoilers for the franchise as well as speculation on the upcoming 5th movie. 

    1 hr 13 min
  • So, What‘s the Problem? Bugsy Malone (1976)

       

     It's Jimmy's birthday and to celebrate, he gets to pick a move from the year of his birth that he watched as a kid. So, Bugsy Malone it is. It's a gangster movie where all the characters are played by kids and instead of guns with bullets, cream is a deadly weapon. And they have pedal cars! But does having kids play parts that are usually portrayed by adults, problematic? Listen to find out! Contains mild language.

  • Drop the Pilot: Back to norm (2005)

        

    Drop the whaaaaat? Yeah, that's right, we are back. Tysto and Jimmy pay tribute Norm MacDonald and what better way to do that than to crap on a failed pilot of his? They discuss each sketch as well as humour which leads to talk of British panel shows and both hosts seem to have a different definition of what makes someone "camp". Contains strong language and talk of suicide, as that is in the show in question.
