The Good Robot Andys (ogg)

Andy C introduces Andy B to a super-fun heavily-physical horror movie called Primate, and the hot mess known as The Bride!. Andy B buys the idea that at some future date The Bride! will screen in a double bill with Evil Dead 2, and he would go.

NOTE: in this episode we mentioned The Proclaimers.

After we recorded it, we found out that they support people who are punching down on some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

The Good Robot Andys love our trans listeners and vehemently disagree with those who seek to silence or hurt you.

The Andys remember the career of Sam Neill, from The Hunt for Red October, via Jurassic Park, to Event Horizon and more.

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far) – this time it’s films from 2014. The Babadook is a gripping horror about a family living with the loss of their husband and father, It Follows is a creeping inevitable horror about how no-one should ever have sex, and Unfriended is an intense found-footage horror all taking place on a video call. Andy B reckons all three should go on his watch list.

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far) – this time it’s films from 2013. A Field in England – a folk horror set during the English civil war(!), and Oculus – a classic horror movie about a spooky mirror that is just really well done.

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far) – this time it’s films from 2012. We promise these ones are actual horror movies: Berberian Sound Studio – Toby Jones in a surprising role, V/H/S (specifically the segment called “Anthology”) – a shocking and satisfying splatter fest and Sinister – a highly atmospheric movie with great acting that really knows how to end.

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far). One of our most-featured directors is back: Darren Aronofsky, this time with Black Swan, and a remake of a film by one of our other favourite directors, George A. Romero, The Crazies. Andy C reckons they’re both well worth a watch, and Andy B is reasonably convinced.

Movies man Andy C talks computer man Andy B through the film Sinners, which is a highly entertaining proper horror movie imbued with a love of music and having something to say about racism and using power to overcome evil.

The Andys go through the best and most influential horror movies of the 21st century (so far). Contrasting films this time: Antichrist (which divided critics), and District 9, which we both loved.

Andy C introduces Nosferatu and The Monkey to Andy B. The first is a very impactful remake of a true classic, and the second is a funny palette-cleanser. There follows a lot of random film and TV chat, including some 28 Years Later Part 2: The Bone Temple stuff.

Andy C reviews the amazing career of Rob Reiner for Andy B, who was amazed at the list of films made by him. Andy B really loves This is Spinal Tap. Listen in to hear which Rob Reiner film Andy C would save from a fire, if he could pick just one.
