Send us a Text Message. Join Rob and Liam as this week we discuss the 1987 "classic" Over The Top. The most Cannon of Cannon films, the most ridiculous sport you could possibly make a movie about. But is Over The Top about arm wrestling or is this your classic father and son bonding movie. With a tyrannical grandfather who won't let anything stand …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 172 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at cult horror remake, The Blob. Does it still hold up? Is it secretly one of the best horror movies of the 80s? Just how bad is Kevin Dilllon's hair? And most importantly...what is the best kill? We discuss via the link in the bio.…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 171 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what secretly might be one of the best action sequels of all time. 1995's, Die Hard with a Vengeance might not match the utter brilliance of the original, but for an hour, man, it sure does come close. The second half does have a wobble…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 170 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the surprisingly timeless, Spaceballs. While comedies often age poorly compared to other movie genres, due to (most of) its references remaining as relevant today as they were in 1987, Mel Brooks' classic Star Wars spoof proves surprisingly enjoyable nearly 40 yea…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 169 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam, Rob, and special guest, Dave take a look back at the MTV-inspired take on the classic western, 1988's, Young Guns. Is it a Brat Pack movie? Is Emilio Estevez awesome or annoying? Do any of the action sequences make any sense? How good is the hair in this m…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 168 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and boy oh boy, did this week's movie ever illicit a strong reaction. Is 1991, Hudson Hawk the ultimate Marmite movie, or is it just a really (REALLY) bad movie that some cinematic masochists enjoy for reasons most folk will simply never understand. We discuss via the link in …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 167 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Arnold Schwarzenegger's break out role, 1982's, Conan the Barbarian? Is this one of Schwarzenegger's best performances? Will we ever get the sequel we want? Oh, and just how far do Conan and Subotai actually run together? All of this is discussed (and much more), …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 166 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at, what can only be described as a brilliantly bad film. Make no mistake, Cyborg wasn't good in 1989, and it's not good now.....but is it still fun? Despite its many issues, Jean-Claude Van Damme's dystopian sci-fi actioner was always a g…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 165 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at John McTiernan's, 1990 political thriller, The Hunt for Red October. Is this a Jack Ryan movie or a Marko Ramius movie? Does it get a tad boring around the second act? Does any director have a bigger disparity between their best movie and their worst? I mean, it's…

Send us a Text Message. The latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, as the second part of our Chicago season of podcasts, we look back at Brian De Palma's 1987 crime thriller classic, The Untouchables. With an all star cast, a fantastic score, a wonderful director, and even suits made by Georgio Armani, this is a movie that truly had it…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 162 is here, and this week we look back at a movie with one of the best casts of the 80s....oddly, it's also a movie that many will not have seen, or even heard of for that matter. Which is a shame of course as, despite its faults, this hillbillies vs mobsters flick is a lot of fun with Liam Neeson giving a particula…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 161 is ready to download, and this week, Liam and Rod disagree on just about everything. Whether it be Michael Douglas' status as a movie star, his chemistry with Kathleen Turner and, well, just about everything else that we discuss as we look back at Robert Zemeckis' 1984, romantic adventure movie, Romancing the Sto…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 160 is here, and this week, Liam, Rob and special guest, Dave, look back at George Miller's, 1981 dystopian 'future' classic, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior....or is that just Mad Max 2? Or just The Road Warrior. Perhaps you don't like the '2' and it's simply, Mad Max: The Road Warrior. Whatever your title of choice mig…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 159 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is ready to download, and this week, Liam and Rob looked back at James Cameron's, 1989 technical masterpiece, The Abyss. Now, it might not be his most beloved movie, and it's far from his most successful, but one could argue that, in many respects, it's the ultimate James Cameron movie…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 158 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is ready to download, and this week, we look back at Rutger Hauer's rarely talked about, Blind Fury. A reinterpretation of the long running Zatoichi series, Blind Fury, while tonally inconsistent, manages to deliver action, laughs an emotion in equal measure, and for all its faults, it…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 157 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1990's Amblin classic, Arachnophobia. Are spiders still scary? Does John Goodman steal the show. Was Frank Marshall trying to give a generation of kids a genuine phobia? More importantly, does the movie hold up nearly 35 years after its initial release? We discuss…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 154 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here and this week, Liam, Rob and special guest, Dave look back at Bruce Campbell's magnificent cult classic, Bubba Ho-Tep. With one of the the strangest movie premises of all time and a genuinely fantastic portrayal of the King of Rock and Roll, this 2002 curio remains as ludicrous…

Send us a Text Message. This week on they Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam and Rob look back at 1994 disasterpiece, Jean-Claude Van Damme's, Street Fighter. A movie that many have suggested is the worst video game movie ever made, but one that we would argue isn't even the worst Street Fighter movie. Still, whatever way you look at it, 1994's Street Figh…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 152 of the Hey You Guys podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the finest movies of the 21st century, one of Russel Cr.....oh, wait, that's not right. No, we didn't watch that Gladiator, we watched the 1992 high school underground boxing, uhhhh, classic? Yeah, we watched that one, and well, …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 151 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 90s political action thriller, Air Force One. It might be elevated by star turns from Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman, but make no mistake, this is still Die Hard on a plane, and dare I say, a tad Team America towards the end. Does it hol…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 150 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and seeing that it is the 25th anniversary of the Prequel trilogy (and that Rob isn't feeling very well), we thought it a great excuse to take another look back at Liam's favourite of the Prequel trilogy and the one that, well, Rob just about put up with. It might not have bee…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 149 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look at Ridley Scott's divisive fantasy epic, Legend. With an oddly forgettable performance from Tom Cruise levelled out by one of the biggest ever screen performances from Tim Curry as Darkness, 1985's, Legend is nothing if not a movie of peaks an …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 148 is here, and this week, Liam finally watches his first Steven Seagal movie (Executive Decision doesn't count) and Rob, well, doesn't watch his first Steven Seagal movie. 1992's Under Siege, for better and for worse, certainly delivers plenty to talk about with giant cakes, male ponytails, studded leather jackets …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 146 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1984's, beloved family fantasy adventure, The NeverEnding Story. With strong opinions on horse deaths, suspect dragon dogs and the utter madness of mixing raw eggs with orange juice, Wolfgang Petersen's, aggressively 80s adventure delivers plenty to talk about.…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 145 of the Hey You Guys podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Kevin Smith's controversial turn of the century religious comedy, Dogma. Arguably one of his best movies, and certainly home to one of the decade's finest casts, Dogma remains a hugely quotable, massively likeable, and yes, narratively …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 144 is here, and this week we look back at one of the most influential and iconic movies of the noughties. It had a massive influence on The Hunger Games franchise, and an even bigger impact on the world of video games. The premise is one of cinema's most compelling, but is the movie as strong as the idea that ultima…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 143 is ready to download, but as you can see, it's not the planned look back at 2022's, Violent Night. Due to technical difficulties, that podcast was lost to the sands of time, so in its place, we are re-releasing a rather drunk look back at Christmas classic (and yes, it's a Christmas movie), Lethal Weapon.…

Send us a Text Message. Merry Christmas! The 4th part of our Christmas Season of podcasts is here, and this week we look back at one of the best Christmas movies that might not actually be a Christmas movie. 1993's, The Nightmare Before Christmas is just as magical as you remember....as long as you stop watching after about 40 minutes or so. Links …

Send us a Text Message. The third part of our Christmas season of Hey You Guys Podcasts is here, and this week we look back at one of the strangest mainstream sequels of the 90s. Batman 89 might have been a Batman movie made by Tim Burton, but its sequel is undoubtedly a Tim Burton movie that has Batman in it. Does it hold up though? We discuss via…

Send us a Text Message. The first part of our Christmas season of podcasts is here, and this week are looking back at arguably the funniest Christmas movie of all time (or one that isn't funny at all - depending on who you are listening to). With Billy Bob Thornton's iconic performance elevated by a host of great character actors and a surprisingly…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 139 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob take a look back at the last movie of the 80s in the US.....and boy, does it show! With one foot in the 80s and one tentatively in the 90s, Tango & Cash proves a thematic, tonal and structural mess of a movie, but one that, against all odds, is stil…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 138 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1988's comedy classic, Big. Does it retain that same sense of magic, or is that wild premise starting to show its age? I mean, we are talking about a 13 year old boy having sex with a 30 year old woman (and yes, they definitely have sex…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 137 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam, Rob, and special guest Dave (with a brief appearance from Amelia), look back at the divisive, but often fondly remembered, Ghostbusters II. It might not be in the same league as the original (unless you ask Dave), but is it a genuinely good movie when judg…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 136 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most beloved sports movies of all time.....but is it really a sports movie? Sure, there is plenty of baseball, but then, there is also loads of ghosts, and quite a bit of time travelling. Whatever your viewpoint, 1989's, Fiel…

Send us a Text Message. The fifth and final part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week we look back at 1985's, horror comedy classic, Fright Night. With one foot in the future, one in the past and, uhhh, one in the 80s (??), Tom Holland's (not that Tom Holland) take on vampirism in suburban America remains as unique, f…

Send us a Text Message. The third part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the rarely discussed, but utterly brilliant, The People Under the Stairs. As bonkers as it is memorable, this politically charged horror comedy remains hard to pin down but as essential and as prescient as ever.…

Send us a Text Message. The second part of our 'HUGTOBER' season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at David Cronenberg's 1986, sci-fi monster movie classic, The Fly.

Send us a Text Message. Episode 131 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and in the first part of our 'HUGTOBER' season of Halloween-inspired podcasts, we will be looking back at Peter Jackson's, 1996 cult classic, The Frighteners. Genuinely cutting edge at the time, does this much loved horror comedy hold up or are those ageing effects a tad too d…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 130 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam, Rob and special Guest, Dave, look back at the seminal 1999 sci-fi classic, The Matrix. Surely one of the most influential movies of the last 25 years, is it as awesome as you remember or has time been unkind to this once cutting edge piece of action cinema…

Send us a Text Message. Join us this week as we revisit Demon Knight. A film remembered fondly by Rob (Of Course) and a film that has never crossed Liam's path aside from the poster. Did Rob still love this film? did Liam join the bandwagon like The Wraith and Buckaroo Bonzai or is this a NightBreed situation. Lets find out together shall we?…

Send us a Text Message. This week Rob and Liam revisit Tron. Join us as we delve into the politics of computer programmes. Are Flynns intentions Noble or entirely for self gain? Should the film be called Tron as he serves nearly no purpose? oh and how exactly do you pronounce Jai Alai?By Liam and Wez

Send us a Text Message. Episode 126 of the Hey You Guys podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1994's sci-fi classic, Stargate. What Liam assumed to be one of the more beloved movies of the early 90s, our views on Roland Emmerich's Independence Day precursor turned out be quite disparate. Links below.…

Send us a Text Message. Episode 125 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1989's, brilliantly titled, Gleaming the Cube. What does it mean to gleam a cube? Well, honestly, we are none the wiser, but then, we're not much wiser as to the motivations of either of the movies' 'bad guys' or whether this is even a …

Send us a Text Message. Episode 124 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the most iconic superhero movies of all time; 1978's, Superman The Movie. Revered as one of the finest example of the genre for nearly 45 years, does Richard Donner's much loved take on the Man of Steel still hold up in 2023? Are…
