We can do this the easy way…or we can do The Hard Way. We don’t get to see Michael J. Fox films very often so how about we watch one where he plays an actor. Not much a stretch you might be thinking, but pit him up against gritty cop James Woods in a buddy cop action comedy and we might have something here. Might. Be prepared for: getting weirdly heated over junkyard hotdogs, this films bargain bin origins, tangents about romance novel cover model Fabio, movie interpretations of video games and Fox and Woods relationship role play being the best thing.

No, it’s got nothing to do with that annoying song. Thankfully the title is ironic as you’ll only find grizzly, scowling cops in The Laughing Policeman. Why does Walter Mattheu always end up playing surprisingly cool characters in the films we pick? Why are 70’s film always so great? How does Bruce Dern always pull off assholes so well. Tune in to find out our answers now.

Ironweed. We came for the Tom Waits, we stayed for the bleakness and depression. Well, we actually stayed to do a podcast, but would we have if that wasn’t the case with this well made but clearly oscar-baiting movie about tramps? Come and find out in our discussion which includes: imagining Jack Nicholson’s breath, emotional support turkey, Tom Waits being fate’s punching bag and getting confused whether there are ghosts are not.

Have we ever done a pirate film? We must have done a pirate film, right?! How have we never done a pirate film!??! Well, let’s be honest, if we did one from the last few decades we would have been very disappointed. Luckily we went back all the way to the Fifites for The Crimson Pirate, a very light-hearted, swashbuckling adventure. Be prepared for the usual carribean islands, boats, brawls, sword fights, rope swinging and stripey tights as well as the slightly less usual pirates in drag, farcical antics, tanks and hot air balloons.

Irish films generally come in two flavours: gritty working class drama or magical mythical fantasy. But what happens if you mix them both together for a bit of magical realism? And by mix them both together we mean inserting a debatably magic horse into the story of down on their luck travelers. Well, you get Into The West, that’s what! Come and find out if this childhood ‘classic’ lives up to the expectations of those who have find memories and those that don’t.

Spooky Time is upon us again and this time we have chosen to dissect one of the works of Horror Master Wes Craven. The question is are we getting gritty exploitative Wes Craven or goofy Wes Craven as we lose ourselves in the labyrinth of The People Under The Stairs. Turns out its a bit of both, but can we stomach the mix of tones served to us? Be prepared for: irrelevant (but perhaps accurate) tarot, bafflement over the name Poindexter, dragon hoards, gimp suits, wall people, some very good dog acting, some debatably good symbolism and a somewhat out of place third act.

We have an Upgrade thrust upon on this week at SFFCH, but don’t worry because, whilst it does take over an hour and a half to complete, we think it is well worth it for a change. So come and join us as we: wonder what it would be like to have the Microsoft paperclip in your mind, get alot of of pleasure from the pun of ‘hand gun’ and ponder a little too much of how to most effectively torture Elon Musk.

We’ve earned the privilege of being allowed into The Big Room this time on Spoiler Filled, so we decided to put on Ruthless People really loud, a movie that seemingly invented the stereotypical 80’s aesthetic while also lampooning it at the same time. Although, what would you expect from a Zucker/Abrams production. In store for you this time, dear listener, is: kidnapping, murder plots, sex tapes, blackmailing, attempted dog killing, Danny DeVito being the biggest asshole and yet it’s all a zany comedy.

Sometimes you just have to be amazed at just what someone can create and persuade people to do in the face on so many artistic and financial hurdles. Honestly, we are just kinda impressed by the gumption it takes to make a movie like StarCrash, despite it turning out to be the hot mess of a Star Wars rip-off that is it. This week, be prepared for: Texan dildo robots, intergalactic perms, Christopher Plummer being in the wrong movie, David Hasselhoff being in the RIGHT movie, robot misogyny, fairy-light stars and things that look like lightsabers, The Death Star and The Force, but definitely aren’t, OK!

Ancient mystical martial arts meets the world of gangster pop music in The Last Dragon, a movie that is like constantly switching channels between watching a kung-fu B-Movie and music videos on MTV. In this discussion, be prepared for: very undefined mystical martial arts powers, video arcade gangsters, getting put in the bin and getting acquainted with Sho’nuff and Sum Dum Goy.
