Straight from the bowels of DVD-only content comes the first attempt to lionise Road House as a modern classic, with Jake Busey and Will Patton and no Swayze. Will anyone have their throat ripped? Will animals (living or stuffed) attack baddies? Will this establish what the sequel to the Jake Gyllenhaal version should explore? Let’s find out together.
288 - THE GOLDEN CHILD
Ending Eddie Murphy Month with a look at a Paramount action comedy that kinda doesn’t exist but was big for a moment, Andrew and Johnny discuss Deadpool & Wolverine (spoiling things), Eddie Murphy’s music career and Meet Dave/Twisters, because everything is intertwined now and cinema is definitely a dead art form.
BONUS - THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) COMMENTARY
Halloween season is here, and Johnny’s dreams are coming true. Andrew is surgically attached to a microphone to watch the first of three movies Tom Six dared to dream about putting people arse to mouth in order to craft some sort of us-species insectoid. Erm… Good luck?
Commentary begins at 00:11:34
265 - 2021 - A YEAR IN REVIEW
As 2021 closes up, Andrew and Johnny look back at the year’s episodes, the good, the bad and the forgotten entirely. It’s a chill overview of year 5 of the podcast, a good way to get settled in to the next run of the show if you’re wanting an entry point.
250 - HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING - RENEGADE CUT
It’s EPISODE 250 and Johnny’s dream from 150 episodes ago is finally coming true. Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod is on the podcast as we watch the extended, and only-available, cut of Highlander’s infamous sequel. Will Andrew take to a second film to a franchise he doesn’t care for? Will Johnny’s nostalgia be busted by a new look and a different edit? Will Queen create a whole new soundtrack using Christopher Lambert’s chuckle? What kind of party would it be without Michael Ironside anyway? Come for the sword fighting, stay forever because you’re an immortal human or alien or something.
BONUS - FRIGHTFEST DAY 2
Hours after we recorded Day One we lost a modern cinema titan, and so tributes are paid to Chadwick Boseman, before heading into discussion on Day 2 of FrightFest online.
The films reviewed are The Columnist, The Horror Crowd, They’re Outside and Don’t Click.
BONUS - 101 DALMATIANS 1996 COMMENTARY
Andrew’s 30th birthday celebrations are isolated to watching films with friends, and Johnny’s plan to surround Andrew with many furry ones has succumbed instead to popping on Disney+ and watching the Glenn Close live-action comedy. Andrew hasn’t seen the film, has no connection to the work, it is not a meaningful choice by any stretch, but come watch the film with Andrew and Johnny. Fun, games, furs and frivolities included.
182 - MARGARET
Sitting on the shelf after a long time, we release an episode on Kenneth Lonergan’s much-delayed epic human drama, where Johnny has some sort of comprehensive understanding of humanity and the universe, and Andrew reminisces on the single-screen opening day in London.
BONUS - JAY & SILENT BOB REBOOT
The continuing adventures of the View Askewniverse come into shape as Andrew and Johnny head to a screening of the latest Kevin Smith movie, with different perspectives and different opinions. Will their friendship survive this episode?
164 - BURN AFTER READING
Someone is always listening, watching, waiting, as CoeNovember continues with an underrated comedy that Andrew adores, and Johnny is about to witness for the first time round. Will they become spies too? Or will a swing in the sex chair finish them off?
130 - THE GREEN MILE
Johnny ends Stephen King month with one of his all-time favourite films, just so Andrew can destroy everything in his path. But not before a discussion of the Avengers: Endgame trailer, and thoughts on book-to-film adaptations as a whole.
BONUS - PUNISHER: WAR ZONE
As the films conclude and Netflix’s series closes in, the guys find themselves in good company to watch a very violent video.
BONUS - THE PUNISHER 2004
Tom Jane may be this movie’s Punisher, but a trip down the sewers for the guys discovers more unlikely heroes.
BONUS - THE PUNISHER 1989
As Netflix’s The Punisher series rolls around, this bonus series begins looking at Frank Castle’s cinematic outings, first with Dolph Lundgren as the expendable superhero.

043 - MYSTERY MEN
Spider-Man Homecoming is here, but there are other superheroes who deserve as much attention. Like Siri, our latest guest. We also deal with the tragic acts of the previous episode.
033 - SLITHER
To celebrate Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2's release, we're heading back to James Gunn's earlier work, a small town gory comic horror starring Power Rangers' Elizabeth Banks.
