Stagione 1

Ep 1. We're Too Old For This Sh!t

Three middle-aged movie buffs take a trip back to 1987 as they revisit Lethal Weapon. With more enthusiasm than expertise, they dive into Mel Gibson’s wild-eyed energy, Danny Glover’s weary charm, and the buddy-cop chemistry that redefined the genre. Along the way, expect a mix of half-remembered trivia, dad-joke tangents, and some spirited debate over whether the movie still holds up—or if it’s just nostalgia doing the heavy lifting. QUOTES “A helicopter is a very dangerous vehicle…” - Gary “It’s a good start, it’s not below par…” - Mark “I wish I’d have known this before and I would have been more prepared” - Greg

Ep 2. The Drunk Knight

The trio of middle-aged amateur reviewers suit up for Gotham as they tackle Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Between Christian Bale’s gravelly growl, Heath Ledger’s legendary Joker, and an endless supply of plot twists, the guys struggle to keep their Bat-facts straight while debating. Expect plenty of over-analysis and a few accidental impressions of Batman’s voice along the way. QUOTES “We’re not Top Gear!” - Mark “No more Baby Cham for you…” - Greg “When Giles sings, if that doesn’t pull on your heartstrings…” -Gary

Ep 3. Death By Stereo

The gang sinks their teeth into Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys, a neon-soaked trip back to the ‘80s where vampires wear leather jackets and the soundtrack slaps almost as hard as the hair gel. With their usual mix of shaky memory and questionable insights, the three middle-aged reviewers debate whether the film is a campy cult classic or just an excuse to watch Kiefer Sutherland glare menacingly. Expect tangents about teenage rebellion, awkward family dynamics, and way too much talk about that shirtless saxophone guy. QUOTES “I think one of their heads exploded?” - Greg “This is the film that made vampires cool…” - Gary “I like the movie, but…” - Mark

Ep 4. You Done Hurt My Dick Hand

This episode sees the trio dial up the suspense with Phone Booth, the taut thriller that proves a ringing phone can ruin your day. Our three middle-aged amateurs attempt to stay on the line as they unpack Colin Farrell’s trapped performance, Kiefer Sutherland’s disembodied menace, and the surprisingly tense logistics of standing still for 80 minutes! QUOTES “I Can’t think of a Colin that I like…” - Mark “You can relate to him… He’s just a guy who goes to work every day and does shit…” - Gary “When you watch it the second time, you blink in different places…” - Greg

Ep 5. Denzel Is Our Secret Sponsor

The trio takes on The Negotiator, where Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey face off in a hostage thriller full of double-crosses, tense phone calls, and enough shouting to rattle office windows. Our three middle-aged amateurs try to piece together the twists without losing track of who’s bluffing whom, while debating whether the movie is a smart chess match or just an excuse for dramatic desk-flipping! QUOTES “Denzel and I…” - Gary “That wasn’t a comedy…?!” - Greg “It is just Samuel L Jackson putting everybody on trial!” - Mark

Ep 6. Hawking For Game

This episode see the gang crack open the chaotic treasure chest that is Hudson Hawk. With Bruce Willis juggling cat burglars, cappuccinos, and a plot that feels like it was scribbled during a sugar rush, our three middle-aged amateurs do their best to make sense of it all. Is it a misunderstood cult comedy or just a bizarre misfire from the early ’90s? Expect baffled laughter, wild theories about what the filmmakers were thinking, and more digressions than the movie’s own storyline. QUOTES “It’s a hodgepodge of insanity and shit…” - Greg “A bit from column A, a bit from column B put it all together… Incest!” - Mark “I don’t think you could make a film like this today…” - Gary

Ep 7. Hans Free

Buckle up as the trio boards Air Force One, the Harrison Ford action classic where the President himself throws punches and barks orders like an action hero-in-chief. Our three middle-aged amateurs wrestle with the film’s mix of patriotism, over-the-top villains, and improbably sturdy airplanes. Along the way, they debate whether Ford’s famous “Get off my plane!” line is cinema gold or just, not... QUOTES “That’s a lot of straight-to-video sales!” - Mark “Every time you say something, I expect there to be more…” - Gary “I’ve seen approximately 9 films… And 7 of them where for this podcast!” - Greg

Ep 8. You Can't Hear Jimi!

The crew hits the blacktop with White Men Can’t Jump; the early ’90s hoops comedy where trash talk is just as important as scoring points. Our three middle-aged amateurs reminisce about Wesley Snipes’ swagger, Woody Harrelson’s hustle, and the endless stream of wisecracks that make pickup basketball look like a full-contact comedy routine. QUOTES “This one is much easier to take than Above The Rim.” - Gary “Woody Harrelson had played some college ball…” - Mark “Two of them where in ‘Nam, the other was in a clinic…” - Greg

Ep 9. The Hills Are Alive... With The Sound Of Axel F.

Two thirds of the podcasting trio crank up the synth soundtrack for Beverly Hills Cop, where Eddie Murphy’s fast-talking Axel Foley takes Detroit street smarts to the land of palm trees and polo shirts. Is the film an action classic, a comedy classic, or just a time capsule of ’80s excess. Expect half-remembered quotes, plenty of nostalgia and a missing caster from the usual line-up!

Ep 10. No Clones Where Harmed In The Making Of This Podcast

The trio pulls back the curtain on The Prestige, Nolan’s mind-bending tale of rival magicians, obsession, and secrets that will make you question everything—even your own memory of the plot. Our three middle-aged amateurs try to untangle the twists, debate who’s the better magician, and inevitably get sidetracked by theories about Victorian gadgets and poorly executed card tricks. Expect confused “aha!” moments, dramatic reveals, and plenty of “wait, what just happened?” commentary along the way. QUOTES “Christian Bale is hung…” - Greg “What I started watching was a period drama about illusionist… And what I ended up watching was a surrealists wet dream [with] Hugh Jackman.” - Mark “It’s too real for me…” - Gary
