Retro Ramble

With a new Street Fighter movie on its way to cinemas, Charlie and George are off to Shadaloo to take a look back at the original nineties adaptation.  

With action superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his fame and a script from the writer of classics like Commando and Die Hard, expectations are high.

But as they explore this cult classic, they find that plenty can (and does) go wrong. Tune in for a nostalgic look back filled with humour, commentary, and plenty of questionable Belgian impressions!

In this episode, Charlie and George are talking about one of the 1980s biggest (pun intended) and most beloved comedies, it's Big with Tom Hanks!
 
A key film in Hank's career, as well as director Penny Marshall who would become the first female director to make over $100m at the box office.
 
There's some interesting behind the scenes trivia including crazy casting, a custom giant piano and controversial love stories.
 
Also includes George saying "Robert Loggia" a lot.

Charlie and George take a trip to Mega City One to cover cult-comic book adaptation, Judge Dredd!

We discuss the production challenges, changing scripts, a novice director and big stars with big chins and bigger egos.  
Expect (bad) Stallone impressions and a mild sprinkling of trivia - We are the Law!

Charlie and George have found themselves trapped in The Phantom Zone as they revisit the cult curiosity that is Supergirl!
As we see a new take on the superhero currently in cinemas, the brothers look back at the first big-screen attempt, which, unsurprisingly, had a few production challenges along the way. An absent Superman, extensive rewrites, an eclectic cast and last-minute distributor issues are just a few things under discussion.
For additional Super-podding on the Christopher Reeve era, check out our Superman 1 & 2 special "zodcast" in episode 108!

Charlie and George mount up for a double (barrelled) bill of Young Guns and Young Guns 2: Blaze of Glory!   
The brothers discuss how these films injected a heavy dose of brat-pack swagger into the classic Western genre. The hosts break down Emilio Estevez's wild performance as Billy the Kid, with solid support from Kiefer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Philips. There's also General Zod vs Carl Grissom. 
 
The sequel gains Christian Slater and a Bon Jovi soundtrack, but is it a worthy follow up? Tune in to find out! 
 


Enjoy and please share!
