Send us a text Episode 214 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week we look back a movie that Liam, well, he thought it was a movie about actual toy soldiers that come to life and cause havoc in 90s American suburbia. Turns out, 1991's, Toy Soldiers is actually something of a coming-of-age action movie caught somewhere between Die Hard an…

Send us a text The third part of our, 'End of the World' series of podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look at the most divisive entry in the Mad Max saga, 1985's, Beyond Thunderdome. A patchy dilution of a once great series or a surprisingly fun and oddly iconic slice of 80s cinematic gold? A bit of both perhaps? Listen in (download and …

Send us a text The second part of our, 'End of the World' season of podcasts is here, and this week we look back at 1986 cult-curio, Solarbabies? The worst title in movie history? Maybe.

Send us a text Episode 207 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob rewatched 1993's notorious flop, Last Action Hero.

Please do download …

Send us a text Episode 206 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 1993 cult curio, Freaked. Does it hold up? Did it ever hold up?

Send us a text Episode 205 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest sequels of the 90s. Always considered Excellent Adventure's poor relation, does 1991's Bill & Ted' Bogus Journey deserves re-evaluation? Is it more ambitious than it is given credit for? Could it, dare I ask, actually be bet…

Send us a text The latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and for the second part of our 'Revisit' season, we look back at John Carpenter's truly incomparable, Big Trouble in Little China. Is it one of Carpenter's finest? Is it one of the best movies of the 80s? Is the second half a tad too messy for it to be considered a true classic? Oh, and why di…

Send us a text Episode 200 is here, and naturally, we celebrate this auspicious occasion by looking back at 1989's, Robot Jox.

Send us a text Episode 199 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1992's, Kuffs. Is it a good movie? Well, no, not really, but it is an entertaining one.

Send us a text Episode 198 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week we take a look back at turn of the century classic, Fight Club. One of the most iconic and memorable movies of the 90s, but does David Fincher's defining Gen X movie hold up? Well, we appear to have split the room with this one. One would argue that it remains a stone col…

Send us a text The Hey You Guys Podcast returns, and this week, we take a look back at 1990's, Men at Work. Is it an action movie? A thriller? A comedy? All of these things? None of these things.

Send us a text Episode 186 is here, and for the fourth part of our Halloween season of podcasts, we are looking back at cult horror favourite, Leprechaun. Is it any good? Was it even any good?

Send us a text Episode 185, and the third part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 90s cult classic, The Craft.

Send us a text Episode 184 is here, and for the second part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts, we are looking back at 1987's, cult classic, The Gate. Does it hold up?

Send us a text It's Halloween (well, it's October), and for the first part of our HUGtober season of spooky podcasts, we are looking back at 2005's, Constantine.

Send us a text This week we watched Sylvester Stallone's 1993 climby action thriller, Cliffhanger. Yes the villains are over the top and their decision making leaves something to be desired.

Send us a text 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.

Send us a text 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, but tha…

Send us a text 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 years after …

Send us a text Episode 168 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and boy oh boy, did this week's movie ever illicit a strong reaction.

Send us a text 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 great watc…
