Tristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids, 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. We use the term classic very loosely.

Beetlejuice (1988) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. Batman and Beetlejuice have always been a pair in some respects - they came out a year apart from the creative minds and actions of Tim Burton & Michael Keaton - it just makes sense! by Double Impact
76 min listen
Gone in 60 Seconds (Dominic Sena, 2000): 113 - We are back in the wacky world of Nicolas Cage this week, with 2000's Gone in 60 Seconds. We know we primarily look at 80s and 90s movies, but it was over 20 years ago so waddyawant? Is this movie an undervalued Fast & Furious ancestor? Or an outdated trope-mobile set to Moby and The Chemical Brothers? This is the central question. But orbiting this central question are other questions. More questions. So many questions. So join us as we pull apart this 2000s Cage vehicle like a poorly qualified mechanic that looks like Giovani Ribisi. by Double Impact
58 min listen
The Goonies (Richard Donner, 1985): 114 - it’s The Goonies! And Tristan had never seen it before! So yes, we cover all the usual stops, but Tristan never saw The Goonies growing up! WILD! A lot to unpack. by Double Impact
78 min listen
Batman (Tim Burton, 1989): 116 - We are back for week two if MAYYYYY MADNESSS folks, and it's a biggie. The second biggest movie in the world back in 1989 (and the biggest for the US domestically), it's Tim Burton's Batman! In many ways, this thing is the exact opposite of every super hero movie trend right now, so it's a fascinating one to unpack - and unpack it we do! From origin story, plot, and everything else you come to expect from our Double Impact detective work, we go pretty gosh darn deep on this one. Hope you enjoy! by Double Impact

The Terminator (1984) (May Madness Re-Release) by Double Impact
69 min listen
First Blood (Ted Kotcheff, 1982): 117 - May Madness continues with the film that launched a bunch of seemingly unrelated and confusingly titled sequels - First Blood. This is the go to movie for anyone that rushes to the defence of Stallone's acting ability, and they wouldn't be wrong. This film plays to all of his strengths. It's one of those rare films that is so different to the broader franchise it's a part of, that it's always worth a second look. So join us as we break this thing down from its humble origins, to rewrites upon rewrites, to the legacy it created and ultimately, how it holds up today. by Double Impact
84 min listen
Uncle Buck (John Hughes, 1989): 128 - Yes, we may have under-indexed on John Candy films to-date. But we are rectifying this as of now with 1989's Uncle Buck. For most people, it was either this or Home Alone that introduced them to Macauley Culkin, and according to his family, this Candy performance is the closest to the real life huggable human - so does this already make this 80s icon immortal? Tune in and find out by Double Impact
71 min listen
Street Fighter (1994) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week, it was kind of a no-brainer right? What better time to compare and contrast two landmark fighting-game-movie-adaptations? by Double Impact
73 min listen
Total Recall (1990) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week, we figured that the movie that launched Carolco into the lat pack stratosphere (latosphere?), would pair extremely well with another iconic Carolco joint, Total Recall. Enjoy! by Double Impact
85 min listen
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (James Cameron, 1991): 115 - May Madness starts NOW, and doesn't get any bigger than this one. We're talking about freaking Terminator 2, guys! Even Seymour jumps in to help out (sorry he sprinkles in some barks here and there). Together, we break down this 90s icon into all the pieces you come to expect, from origin story, plot break down, over-thinking time travel and of course, the final verdict on how this 1991 classic holds up 30 years later. (Yes, we know it's still technically April). by Double Impact
68 min listen
Maximum Risk (Ringo Lam, 1996): 120 - Well here we are. Another JCVD week. We couldn't get out hands on The Quest in time, so we are covering the next JC joint, Maximum Risk. It's probably fair to say we are in the bargain bin era of the JCVD movie journey, but not without some diamonds in the rough - will this be one? Tune in to find out! by Double Impact
60 min listen
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Kevin Reynolds, 1991): 131 - Mullets. Various American accents. The invention of gunpowder. Solving racism. Ah yes, Robin Hood. by Double Impact
80 min listen
The Wizard of Oz (1939) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week may seem a little left field, but the mysterious land of Oz certainly has some parallels with the mysterious land of Tune. Unconventional crew of heroes? Courage that was with them all along? You get the idea. by Double Impact

Predator with Michael Schiavello: RE-RELEASE BABY! We. Are. Finally. Doing. PREDATOR. And just to make this even more of an epic episode, we have very special guest, Michael Schiavello, AKA The Voice, AKA the most-watched-sports broadcaster in the world. We talk all of our usual segments, but we can't have Michael on the show without asking all of our burning questions about JCVD, Steven Seagal and Frank Dux - and holy moly does he deliver. So join us for 70% predator, 20% amazing behind the scenes stories of our aforementioned martial arts heroes, and 10% motivational speech. by Double Impact
93 min listen
Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979): 146 - We don't get to this the 70's very often, so when we do, you know it's a special one. So get in your escape pods and put on your ear huggers because we are breaking down ALIEN! by Double Impact
70 min listen
Big (Penny Marshall, 1988): 121 - The movie that propelled Tom Hanks into the big time, as it were. It's also a movie that raises many questions in 2021. So... let's unpack it. by Double Impact
55 min listen
South Park (Trey Parker, 1999) by Double Impact
63 min listen
Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975: 125 - We are back in lockdown here in Sydney, but the show must go on! Join us as we dive into the film that is credited with starting the modern blockbuster, 1975's Jaws. Hope all of our friends of the show that are doing it tough right now in isolation are doing ok - we love you guys! Hang in there! by Double Impact
80 min listen
Space Jam (Joe Pytka, 1996): 119 - It's the final week of May Madness, and what better finale than the utter madness that is 1995's Space Jam. Move over Ernest P. Worrell, Space Jam takes the unquestionably high-brow sub-genre of movies based on TV ads to new heights. We go from Earth, to space to Tuneland which is (apparently underneath us?) and beyond. Bill Murray is there and Charles Barkley gets real sad - WHAT A MOVIE! Join us as we dissect this time capsule of a crossover-brand experiment, and decide how it holds up in 2021. by Double Impact
81 min listen
The Blues Brothers with Dan Ilic: 133 - We are on a mission from God - and we have iconic Aussie comedian Dan Ilic with us! Dan joins us to help break down this much-requested movie featuring the musical magic of a Memphis rhythm section with New York horns section, The Blues Brothers. by Double Impact

Heat (Michael Mann, 1995): 144 - IT'S HEAT WEEK BABY! Pacino, De Niro, Kilmer, Sizemore, Judd, Trejo, but most importantly, FICHTNER! This is a big movie, so we take our time breaking this bad boy down. The pod is the juice guys, the pod is the juice! by Double Impact
95 min listen
Kindergarten Cop with Adam Wylie (re-release): This. Movie. Is. Iconic. But we hadn't watched it in about 20 years, so the pressure was on! To add even more pressure, we've also got one of the stars from this very movie to help us break it all down - actor, magician, and TikTok extraordinaire, Adam Wylie. Adam of course gives us allllll the inside knowledge and behind the scenes scoops which make this episode, one that simply cannot be missed! by Double Impact

Knock Off (Tsui Hark, 1998): 150 - We're back! Apologies for our absence, but Tristan's laptop was busted so what can ya do? This week is JCVD's 'Knock Off'. It's a weird one. Join us as we break it down. by Double Impact

License to Drive with Jerah Milligan: 129 - We are back in peak 80s teen aesthetic this week with 1988's License to Drive. But even more importantly, we have Jerah Milligan with us on the pod to help us break down this bad boy. From the Coreys, to... many things... truth is, we go off on a few tangents on this one, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. You can find more Jerah on his podcast Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] by Double Impact

Mad Max 4: Waterworld: 255 - What if... Mad Max, but water? The movie presents us with the answer to that question nobody asked. Also it's our first episode recorded after Tristan's 'incident' (asthma and lung failure and coma, oh my!), so we unpack that whole thing a little. But if you care more about the travellings of a a gilled mariner than the wellbeing of Tristan, we have included some useful timecodes: 0:29 - Tristans close encounter 16:31 - 1995 Memberberry 22:30 - Waterworld by Double Impact

Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome (George Miller, 1985): 254 - After a brief medical-related hiatus, we are back with more MAXIMUM MAD MAX MADNESS. Fun fact, we actually recorded this episode the night before Tristan went to the emergency room, so his mentions of feeling a little under the weather hit harder in hindsight. But we aren't here to talk about that, it's Chapter 3 in our Mad Max miniseries, so strap in as we dive deeeeeep into all things Thunderdome (including California Love, of course). by Double Impact
