Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/07/16

What do you do when you find yourself inside a corrupt prison run by a power-hungry maniac? You break out, of course! And that's what this week's episode is all about. Yep, we're doing a prison break movie! 'Brute Force' is a dark, brutal, slow-moving thriller with some of the most violent and shocking scenes we've seen so far this year. Burt Lancaster plays a guy called Joe and he's putting together a team, while Hume Cronyn's sadistic Captain Munsey will stop at nothing to keep them locked up.Join

#235: It's a Wonderful Life (1946) (with Jacob Sacher)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/07/09

Merry July, everybody! This week, we're checking out a classic Christmas tale called 'It's a Wonderful Life'. It's a very American story about a very American man doing very American things in his very small and very American town. We were very split in our opinions on this one so we brought in comedian Jacob Sacher to see what side of the fence he falls on!Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodCheck out Jacob's food truck: Mr Yes and Mr No

#234: And Then There Were None / The Woman in Green...

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/07/02

Two mysteries. Two murderers. Two movies. It's time for a bonus battle! We've taken two popular murder mystery movies from 1945 and are pitting them head to head to see which one is better. Or rather... no head to no head! Because there are murders! We've got the Agatha Christie classic 'And Then There Were None', and the eleventh entry into Basil Rathbone's series of Sherlock Holmes movies, titled 'The Woman in Green'. Which is the more mysterious? Listen in and find out!0:09:43 - And Then There

#233: The Curse of the Cat People (1944)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/06/25

Because we absolutely loved talking about the movie Cat People a few weeks ago, we're reviewing the sequel this week! The Curse of the Cat People was released in 1944. It's about the daughter of two characters from the first film. This daughter has an imaginary friend who just so happens to be the cat person from that original movie! Except this movie doesn't actually have anything to do with Cat People. In fact, most of this episode is just us questioning why this was made as a sequel in the first

#232: Lassie Come Home (1943)

2023/06/18

Back in 2019, we checked out a Lassie movie from the '90s because Sandro had a DVD copy of it lying around. Because we have a history with this franchise, it seemed like a good enough reason to check out the first-ever Lassie movie from 1943 and reminisce about that brave little doggy. Join us as we check out Lassie Come Home, in which the famous Collie herself goes on a long journey from Scotland to Yorkshire, meeting many friends and foes along the way.Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each

#231: Cat People (1942)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/06/11

In what may be our first proper B-movie of the year, we head to 1942 and check out a horror film called Cat People. This one's about Irena. She just got married but is worried that she'll turn into a panther if her husband kisses her. What follows is a journey of questionable writing, atmospheric spooky scenes, and a whole lot of people staring at cats and saying ominous things.Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram:

#230: Hold That Ghost (1941)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/06/04

Before they met Frankenstein or the Mummy or the Invisible Man, comedy duo Abbott and Costello were starring in a horror comedy called Hold That Ghost. Their work on the stage, on the radio, and in a bunch of WWII-themed comedies made this a departure for the duo, but one that definitely paid off. We give the 1941 movie a watch and see if this classic comedy act still holds up over 80 years later!Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the

Grab your bows, grab your colourful tights, and get ready to steal from the rich as we're hanging out with Robin Hood this week! For our first TECHNICOLOR movie, we're checking out the very bright and very fun world of Errol Flynn's The Adventures of Robin Hood from 1938. Starring a lot of the cast and directed by the same director as Captain Blood, this is yet another classic swashbuckling tale that we had a lot of fun talking about.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each

#226: Captains Courageous (1937)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/05/07

We're back out on the seas for this week's movie! Based on the novel by Rudyard Kipling, it's a coming-of-age tale from 1937 called Captains Courageous. Directed by Victor Fleming, it's about a young rich kid who finds himself on a fishing ship and eventually builds a friendship with Spencer Tracy (who puts on a bad Portuguese accent but still won an award for this). It's a movie full of heart, water, and sea shanties.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month

#225: Flash Gordon (1936)

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/04/30

Flash! (Ah-ha!) Wow, it's time to review one of the first-ever superhero movies! I mean, technically, it's a science-fiction movie because Flash Gordon doesn't really have any powers. And also, technically, it's not even a movie, it's a 13-part cliffhanger serial. But that doesn't matter, because this week we're reviewing the one and only 'Flash Gordon' from 1936! Will our hero, played by Buster Crabbe, be able to survive the many alien creatures he's forced to fight? Will he overcome the racist

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2023/04/23

We're back on the seas for another pirate movie! Captain Blood is the 1935 swashbuckling adventure film we've been waiting to find. Errol Flynn stars as a quick-witted action hero who's got so many quips that you'll think you're watching a modern-day blockbuster. Expect action, adventure, and pirate voices as we dive deep into the waters of Casablanca director Michael Curtiz's adaptation of Rafael Sabatini's popular novel.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month

Arrr, matey, it's time to go a-treasure huntin'. Grab your Jolly Roger, polish your parrot, and hop aboard as we set sail to Treasure Island. Yep, it's the 1934 adaptation of the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, starring great lead performances from Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. While this film isn't as popular as the Disney movie from 1950, or as nostalgic as the animated Treasure Planet, or as Muppety as the Muppet's version, this is still one fun swashbuckling adventure that we're glad

Did you know that 9 months after the incredibly successful 'King Kong' got released in 1933, they rushed out a sequel called Son of Kong? Well, they did. And we watched both of them for this week's episode! And one of them was really bad! We also forced comedian Jack McGorlick to watch them with us.0:06:35 - Spoiler-Free First Impressions0:22:58 - Rotten Reviews But I'm In Charge But Letterboxd0:35:48 - King Kong (Spoiler Review)1:07:00 - Son of Kong (Spoiler Review)[Please note that timecodes will

2023/04/02

Do you want some more classic monsters? We've got loads of classic monsters! After dipping our toes into the Universal Classic Monsters franchise last week, we've decided to go back in for more and see Boris Karloff as The Mummy. Before it was an action-adventure film with Brendan Fraser, it was a horror film from 1932. Does it hold up? Is the actor who played Van Helsing in Dracula back for this one as well? Did the 1999 film ignore the original plot or do have similar story beats? Listen in to

Yep, THE Dracula film, the one with Bela Lugosi. Wow! And then we check out Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff in the role of The Monster.

2023/03/19

As we enter a brand new decade of cinema, it's time to check out some of the funniest, talkiest and most influential comedians of the time: The Marx Brothers! Based on their stageplay from the late '20s, we're giving Animal Crackers a watch to see how it holds up. In it, Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo Marx joke their way around a loose plot about a missing painting and deliver many hilarious lines, many silly sketches, and many problematic moments that haven't aged well but it's the 30s and what

We've covered a lot of "cinema firsts" on the podcast this year, and this week is no different. For our 1928 movie pick, we've gone for a film that won the first-ever Best Actor award and the first-ever Academy Awards show. It's the political war drama The Last Command, and, boy, do we have a lot of questions about the message here.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram:
