OUTLANDER! We’re lost on the back roads of Nebraska, following the disorientating street signs to the Bargain Bin to revisit the cut-price kid cult King flick Children of the Corn from 1984. Newly-graduated doctor Burt (Peter Horton) and his girlfriend Vicky (Linda Hamilton) are in the process of relocating to Seattle, but their route takes... Continue Reading →
Episode 107: Midnight Run (1988)
Film chosen by Aidan We’re joined once again by our good friend Aidan all the way from Vancouver to discuss one of his childhood favourites, Martin Brest’s foulmouthed 1988 buddy caper Midnight Run. Disgraced former Chicago cop Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro), now working as an LA bounty hunter, is tasked with bringing in mob... Continue Reading →
Episode 106: Jaws 3-D (1983)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water (again), yet another Carcharodon carcharias is on the rampage in 1983’s stereoscopic sequel Jaws 3-D. Chief Brody’s eldest son Mike (a wired Dennis Quaid) has left the smalltown idyll of Amity Island to work at the sprawling SeaWorld theme park in Orlando,... Continue Reading →
Episode 105: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
We couldn't be more chuffed to welcome back one of our favourite podcasters, Em from Verbal Diorama, as she brings us Robert Zemeckis’ madcap 1988 live action/animated hybrid noirtoon Who Framed Roger Rabbit. As an avowed enthusiast of all things animated, Em was gracious enough to offer her expertise and insight once again, after her... Continue Reading →
Episode 102: Querelle (1982)
Film chosen and introduced by Patrick I haven’t had a pick on the podcast for a while now, so what better than Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s theatrical, queer, surrealist adaptation of Jean Genet’s Querelle De Brest huh?! It’s a film that comes to mind every now and then, despite only one viewing back in 2007. I... Continue Reading →
Episode 101: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Introduced by Matt Discounting Piranha II: The Spawning—from which James Cameron claims to have been sacked, in a shrewd attempt to distance himself from, and disown it—and his underwater documentary work, he's only actually directed eight films, and for me, only three are worth your precious time: The Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day....

Episode 100: Home Alone (1990)
Introduced by Matt Home Alone is not for everyone. As much as my dad laughs at Gerald G. Bamman's indelible portrayal of the miserly Uncle Frank, I’m certain it's not entirely his cup of tea—though I do cherish the memory of him taking me to see Home Alone 2: Lost in New York at the old...

Episode 98: American Psycho (2000)
Listener Request chosen by James Munro Hey Paul! Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now you fucking stupid asshole! We’ve done our stomach crunches, cleansed, lotioned, and exfoliated to revisit Mary Harron’s sly, controversial 2000 adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ incendiary death-of-the-80s yuppie epitaph novel American Psycho. Handsome, 27-year-old Wall Street investment banker and trust... Continue Reading →
Episode 97: Bargain Bin #13: The Net (1995)
The Bargain Bin gives us a chance to pay a little more attention to those ubiquitous, 'passive watch' movies that marinated our formative years, and see whether there's more to mine from them, or whether they deserved nothing more than their place in the discount section. “She’s going to use a computer!” We’ve told our...
