2024/04/19

It's the last entry into our Other Buddies month is an early entry into the '90s: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, a movie that should've worked better with Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson as the leads, but ultimately falls flat. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

The Gen X Files 165 - Tango & Cash

The Gen X Files ·

2024/04/12

One of the last movies released in the '80s, it's the apogee of '80s action movies, and the second installment of our Other Buddies month: Tango & Cash! Starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, with no less than four directors, and a writer that refused to put his name on the movie, it's a feature that shouldn't work, but does... so, so well. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

The Gen X Files 161 - The Transformers: The Movie

The Gen X Files ·

2024/03/15

More than meets the eye! And the eye suffers from the constant barrage of flashing lights and bad music, as we cover The Transformers: The Movie. It was The Transformers TV show, but on the big screen! It had rock and roll music! The Transformers swore! The Transformers died! It all added up to a lot of boring nonsense. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

The Gen X Files 160 - Highlander

There can be only one! Unless it's Highlander, then there's a bunch of movies, TV shows, and animated media, and... they're all terrible. It's the second week of our Haterade month and Adam really, really hates Highlander. Listen to see if he's totally wrong or can sway you away from liking an incredibly stupid movie. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

2024/03/01

Welcome to Haterade month! First up, a movie that Jim hated in the theater, in 1985, and a movie that Adam learned to hate from watching it for this episode. It's Explorers, showcasing the wasted talents of Joe Dante, River Phoenix, Jason Presson, and Ethan Hawke. Well, Ethan Hawke is perfect for this movie. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support

They drew first blood! Despite the ridiculousness that the Rambo franchise became, First Blood is one of the best movies of the '80s and is possibly Sylvester Stallone's finest acting of his career.
