- It's another Halloween special, with Charlie and George sinking their teeth into the mid-90s cult classic, From Dusk Till Dawn!
There's a lot to discuss, from Quentin Tarantino's typically quotable script (written pre-stardom) and Robert Rodriguez's stylish visuals, some grotesque creature FX and one hell of a cast.
Alright Ramblers, let's get rambling! - 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!
