THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULDNT BE LIVING HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
In a change up to the formula (mainly because non of us could be bothered to sit through Starship Troopers for 2 hours when I wasnt really all that interested in it and Ben and Triv were both kinda ‘Meh’ too) we have a round table discussion on ‘Starship Troopers’ discussing the themes, what worked, what didnt and overall giving our feelings on the symbolism.
after 2 years of being egged on to do it, I did. and im so SO sorry.
Dan and Ben are SO close to the end of their journey through classic Bond! This month a final trip out with Uncle Timbo in the 1989 classic ‘License to Kill’ arguably a more than decent entry in the bond canon and if nothing else that end song just SLAMS. SO good!
This week! Dan and Ben take on Toxie! in the first of the ‘Toxic Avenger’ movies! a franchise thats 50% actually quite incredible film making and 50% hot gas.
Join us! we had a real good laugh.
MORE BOND, NEW BOND, SHINY BOND! Actually…kinda dull Bond…Yes! Dan and Ben are Back on the Bond YET AGAIN! and this time he’s regenerated into the ever lovely Timothy ‘Timbo’ Dalton. as we take a look at his first outing and wonder how long it is until we get to take a look at ‘License to Kill’
Dan and Ben are Back on the Bond and Back with Uncle Roger as we tackle the final entry in Roger Moores Tenure as the super secret agent and…honestly. The film speaks for itself (this ones AMAZING.)
Y’know, I completely forgot to update this section, but with the CDE on a bit of a hiatus (more on that in the coming weeks) I thought it would be a good idea to backlog! starting with this wonderful little commentary in which me, Laura and Triv of Trivial theater spend nearly 2 hours NOT talking about Ghostbusters.
This week! Dan and Ben take a look at *arguably* one of the better known Ken Russell movies and one of Ben’s all time favourites as we discuss “Tommy” an absolute blast of a movie that gets surprisingly dark for a movie that quite frankly is so high energy and colourful.
Im not joking. recording this with Ben reignighted my passion for Ken Russell movies, By sheer chance a week after we recorded this I managed to talk to a bootlegger who was able to provide me with HD copies of “The Devils” and “Lizstomania” and I also managed to grab “Altered States” and “Lair of the White Worm” frankly, im in on Russell in a bad way at the minute. But im LOVING it.
I was a fan years ago, but i’d forgotten just how wild and fun his movies could be. and I HIGHLY recommend checking his stuff out whenever you get the chance.
While our good friend Roger was having an “Eggcellent” time working on “Octopussy” An evil cabal of writers, media personalities and satanists were performing a secret virginal sacrifice to the gods of “Why did this need to exist” in order to restore an ancient evil who’s toupee contained within its woven fabrics untold horrors that had been sealed successfully away in 1972.
They succeeded and Randy Grampa was resurrected to unleash more terror and casual sexism upon the unsuspecting crowd of 1980’s New Wave hipsters who…quite rightfully dismissed and disowned the film as the utter work of evil that it is.
This week, Dan and Ben take one for the team…in more ways than one. Still! we get some good stories out during the commentary, so it wasnt all to waste its just…ugh…Im really not a Connery fan. The guy had like…2…maybe 3 good bond movies…the rest…ugh.
