Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011) [Patreon Bonus Episode]
June 30, 2024 20:00 - 59 minutes - 79.8 MBNo new episode this week, we'll be back next week to start our review of '90s movies, but we're not letting you go without content to listen to! Straight from the Patreon vaults, here's a bonus episode... FOR FREE! To help celebrate our Cage-O-Rama series, the third season of which is currently happening on Patreon, here's our review of Nicolas Cage's 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance'. This is the sequel to the superhero origin story from 2007 (which we've also previously released for free,...
#276: UHF (1989) (with Ben Volchok)
June 23, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBFor our final episode in the 80s, we're reviewing a cult classic comedy by "Weird Al" Yankovic called 'UHF'! It's about running a low-budget TV station, which gives Weird Al an excuse to make a bunch of parodies of popular movies, poke fun at television ads from the 80s, and get all his comedian friends to come in and make a couple of jokes! Joining us for this review is frequent guest Ben Volchok. Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepo...
#275: The Land Before Time (1988)
June 16, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBWe're two big dino fanboys, so we jumped (or should I say stomped?) at reviewing 'The Land Before Time' for this week's journey to 1988! It's the classic animated dinosaur movie, created by Don Bluth, Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy, and George Lucas. But here's the thing... We aren't kids anymore, so will we still enjoy this film? We gave it a rewatch to find out! Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show! Instagram:...
#274: Miami Connection (1987)
June 09, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 122 MBWe've already done a full year reviewing films from 1987 so we're not reviewing a real movie this week. Instead, we're reviewing a cult classic martial arts movie that is terrible! It's called 'Miami Connection' and it was made by a guy called Y.K. Kim. He made a movie all about a rock band full of orphans who know taekwondo. They are at war with a gang of bikers who are also ninjas. It's full of hilariously bad dialogue, head-scratchingly confusing story beats, and some of the best music we...
#273: Little Shop of Horrors (1986) (with hauntedbyhan)
June 02, 2024 20:00 - 2 hours - 177 MBJoin us in Skid Row for this week's episode as we get a bunch of musical numbers in our head while reviewing 1986's 'Little Shop of Horrors'! It's Frank Oz's adaptation of the musical stage show adaptation of Roger Corman's B-movie from the 60s, and we've got a lot to say about it! Horror streamer Han joins us to chat all about Rick Moranis, his blood-thirsty plant, and a countless number of tangents that helped to make this episode one of our longest movie reviews to date. Join our Patreon...
#272: Return to Oz (1985)
May 26, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 147 MBWe're putting our ruby slippers back on and heading back to the yellow brick road this week as we review Disney's 1985 movie, 'Return to Oz'. Billed as a semi-sequel to the classic musical, this film takes a much darker approach to the world of L. Frank Baum's book series. We see Dorothy, now an inmate awaiting electrotherapy, travel back to a much more twisted Oz than she remembers, a lot more reminiscent of Jim Henson's Labyrinth than the world she first visited. Listen in as we unpack all...
#271: Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure (1984)
May 19, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 122 MB"We will never review a Star Wars movie." This is a statement that we have been saying over and over again during this year's choices. But when we saw that Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure was an option for 1984, the allure of those cuddly creatures was too hard to resist... And so, here we are, reviewing a Star Wars TV movie for kids. Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!

#270: Videodrome / The Dead Zone (1983)
May 12, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBDouble the horror, double the mystery, double the Cronenberg. This week, we've got a double feature for you! Two movies by the father of body horror, David Cronenberg. We have a Stephen King adaptation in the form of 'The Dead Zone', which is a fairly toned-down psychological drama about Christopher Walken and his mind-powers. Then we go all out with 'Videodrome', a truly messed up horror movie about television, packed to the rim with gore and visceral imagery that won't be easily shaken fro...
#269: Blade Runner (1982) (with Sandy Whittem)
May 05, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 81.3 MBWhat does it mean to be a human? How can we tell who are synthetic replicants and who are not? How much money did Coca-Cola pay to be plastered all over this movie? These are questions that we'll be tackling this week as we head to 1982 and review Ridley Scott's Blade Runner! Based off the novel by Philip K. Dick, it's about Harrison Ford trying to hunt down Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah, figuring out a little bit about humanity along the way, and also catching feelings for Sean Young's shou...
#268: Tarzan, the Ape Man (1981)
April 28, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBWell, we're reviewing another Tarzan movie. What could go wrong? ...a lot apparently, this is one of the worst movies we have ever reviewed. 1981's 'Tarzan, the Ape Man' is an awful adaptation of the Tarzan story, featuring some of the most uncomfortable scenes we've ever had to watch the podcast, as well as some of the worst behind-the-scenes stories we've ever uncovered while recording this podcast. We haven't done one this bad in a while! Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each mont...
#267: Flash Gordon (1980) (with Rhys Parton)
April 21, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 96 MBWelcome to the 1980s. It's a decade of cheap, cheesy movies. A decade when cinema became more commercial than ever before. To kick off our journey through this deliciously trashy era of film, we're diving into the world of Flash Gordon. After we covered the old-timey serial last year, how could we not check out this remake? Podcaster Rhys Parton joins us for this very silly review.

Star Slammer (1986) [Patreon Bonus Episode]
April 14, 2024 20:00 - 46 minutes - 64.6 MBNo new episode this week so we're dropping an episode from the Patreon vaults! Star Slammer (aka Prison Ship) is a very sus sci-fi movie about a women's space prison. It's sometimes funny, sometimes annoying, sometimes self-aware, sometimes awful, but constantly aroused. This movie is so aroused there's a planet called Arous in it. Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!

#266: The Black Hole (1979) (with Rob Lloyd)
April 07, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 85.3 MB[COME SEE 'Shakespeare Ghostbusters' IN MELBOURNE! https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/shakespeare-ghostbusters] It's our last week reviewing movies from the 70s and we're going out with a bang! On this episode, we're talking about 'The Black Hole. It's a sci-fi movie that came out right in the middle of Disney's dark age, an era where the studio experimented with a lot of different genres and barely any of them paid off. Saying that this movie is very unlike Disney is an understat...
#265: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)
March 31, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 142 MBFinally, a movie that asks the big questions: What would happen if all the tomatoes rose up and started attacking American cities? Turns out it would be really funny! This week, we're reviewing 1978's Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and to say it surpassed expectations is an understatement.

#264: Damnation Alley (1977)
March 24, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBHey, remember Star Wars? The first one that came out in 1977 and surprised everyone, becoming a massive hit and changing Hollywood forever? Well, we're not reviewing Star Wars. No, we're reviewing the movie that 20th Century Fox was banking on being the hit of the year instead of Star Wars. It's called Damnation Alley! Very loosely based on a novel by Roger Zelazny, this tells the story of a bunch of people trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There's a cool car in it, a bunch ...
#263: The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (1976)
March 17, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBWe are revisiting our comic-reading youth this week as we check out 1976's 'The Twelve Tasks of Asterix'. Based on the classic French comic books, we head off on an adventure with our two favourite Gauls, Asterix and Obelix, to thwart Julius Caesar and the rest of those pesky Romans by performing a bunch of impossible tasks. Expect large servings of wild boar, magic potion, fourth-wall breaking, racism (oops, these comics are a little dated), and us reminiscing about our childhood. Join our...
#262: Dolemite (1975)
March 10, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBIt's 1975 and we're reviewing one of the biggest surprise hits of that year... Rudy Ray Moore's Dolemite! He's a stand-up comedian who co-wrote, produced, and semi-directed his own blaxploitation crime movie. It's filled with flat line deliveries, cameos from multiple boom mics, a plot that is pretty hard to follow, and heaps more karate than either of us were expecting.

#261: Young Frankenstein / Blazing Saddles (1974) (with Jacob Sacher)
March 03, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 131 MBFor the first bonus battle of the year, we've picked two comedies that have a lot in common. The most obvious similarity is that they are both directed and co-written by Mel Brooks. They also both star Gene Wilder, and they are both parodies of genres that we have done bonus battle specials on last year. What a time to be alive! We're joined by comedian Jacob Sacher to see which of these is the best! Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodie...
#260: Soylent Green (1973) (with Zac Rose)
February 25, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBAfter last week's disappointing foray into eco-themed cinema, we made sure to pick a good film from this genre this week and try and figure out the dystopian mystery of 1973's 'Soylent Green'. Well, we already knew the twist, but there was still plenty of cool stuff to discover in this overpopulated hellscape of New York City in 2022. We're joined by Zac Rose (Shakespeare Ghostbusters) as we watch Charlton Heston discover exactly what Soylent Green is made out of. Join our Patreon for TWO b...
#259: Frogs (1972)
February 18, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 114 MBYou'd better not be squeamish because this week we're reviewing 1972's 'Frogs', a cult classic horror film that is very boring and very bad. Sam Elliott is in it and he plays a photographer who wants to protect the environment, except for when he doesn't. When he discovers that the wildlife near a rich family's island mansion is killing people, he tries to convince old man Ray Milland to do something. But nobody does anything in this movie. The frogs aren't really in it either. This movie su...
#258: Red Sun (1971)
February 11, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 93.1 MBWe're in 1971 and we're watching a western! But it's not just any western... It's a cowboy n' samurai team-up western called Red Sun! We've got Charles Bronson as a cowboy looking for money (and revenge). He has to join forces with Toshirō Mifune as a samurai who is looking for honour (and revenge). Ursula Andress is also there and she's looking for something to do (and revenge). It's also directed by famous James Bond director Terence Young! Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each mon...

#257: Hercules in New York (1970)
February 04, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 140 MBWhat do you get when you take a 22-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger, give him a role in a movie playing Hercules, change his name to Arnold Strong, and then dub him over with a random American guy? Why, you get the 1970 movie 'Hercules in New York', of course!

December 24, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBIt's the last episode of the year and, what a coincidence, it's coming out on Christmas Day! Well, we're celebrating this holiday Australia-style, hot and covered in flies, with two Westerns from 1969. First up, we've got the John Wayne movie 'True Grit', which is about Kim Darby as a young cowgirl looking for revenge. Then, we check out 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', which is an incredible movie about the misadventures of Paul Newman and Robert Redford as two outlaw friends. (With a...

December 17, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 128 MBFrom the minds of Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl comes this week's fantasy adventure, full of songs and whimsy, action and romance, WWII analogies, and antisemitic child catchers.

#254: Casino Royale (1967) (with Rhys Parton)
December 10, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBWe're back with our second James Bond film of the year! Except this one is a little different. We're reviewing Casino Royale from 1967, which is an absolute mess. This might be one of the messiest productions we've ever covered. In it, David Niven plays James Bond, who takes over MI6 and recruits Peter Sellers to be James Bond, Ursula Andress to be James Bond, and a bunch of other people to also be James Bond, all so they can stop Orson Welles and an evil organisation called SMERSH. We're jo...
#253: Batman (1966) (with Luke Mac)
December 03, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 99.5 MBHoly pragmatic podcast, it's a brand new episode! And in this one, we're reviewing the incredibly campy Batman movie from 1966! It stars Adam West and Burt Ward as the dynamic crime-fighting duo Batman and Robin, and sees them up against four supervillains in the form of The Joker (Cesar Romero), The Penguin (Burgess Meredith), The Riddler (Frank Gorshin), and Catwoman (Lee Meriwether). It's full of cheese, puns, and some of the funniest sequences we've seen on the podcast this year. We're j...
#252: The Great Race (1965)
November 26, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBRemember 'Wacky Races'? What if we told you that that late-'60s animated show was actually inspired by a mid-'60s slapstick movie, which was kinda based on a real race from 1908! The movie is called The Great Race and that's what we're reviewing today! Directed by Blake Edwards, starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood and Peter Falk, with music from Henry Mancini...

November 12, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBThe Great Escape from 1963 is a classic. It's a prison break movie with excellent action, suspense, comedy, and drama.

#246: Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957) (with hauntedbyhan)
September 24, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 113 MBWe've been waiting all year for this. One of the greatest worst movies of all time. Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. Starring b-roll of Bela Lugosi, a silent Vampira, a hulking Tor Johnson, and a bunch of people from a random Baptist church, this is the cult film of your dreams. It has shaky cardboard sets. It has reused establishing shots. It has flubbed lines. It has continuity errors. It has aliens resurrecting the dead to enact a mysterious plan. We're joined by hauntedbyhan to check o...
#245: Forbidden Planet (1956)
September 17, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBWe're both big sci-fi nerds, so when the option came up to review one of the most influential science-fiction movies of all time, we had to pick it. 'Forbidden Planet' from 1956 is a goldmine of firsts for fans of the genre. Its hand in basically creating the style of sci-fi that we love today cannot be disputed. Plus, it stars the one and only Leslie Nielsen, alongside Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Robby the Robot. Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon...
#244: Tarantula / It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955) (with Robert Yaniz Jr.)

We've taken two giant monster movies from 1955 and put them head to head to see which comes out on top. We've got a massive tarantula on the loose in 'Tarantula', but maybe the real monsters were the humans who made it along the way, and we've got an angry octopus in 'It Came From Beneath the Sea', but maybe the real villains in that film are the boring human characters. We're joined by fellow m...
#243: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
September 03, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 111 MBIt's 1954 and we're covering our second Jules Verne adaptation of the year... '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'.
