"Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here. A man face you, he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy." This week it's The Karate Kid Part II. Does the sequel uphold the honor and tradition of the original, or does it crumble like a block of karate-chopped ice? Why was honking someone's nose never a finishing move in Mortal Kombat?

2016/05/04

We shift from our sci-fi month of April to May Madness as we move from the sleepy town of Hadley's Hope on LV-426 to Hickory, Indiana. While they both have that small-town charm, both towns' locals have to deal with an invader that disrupts their way of life. For one it was aliens. For the other it's an outsider who's come to coach the basketball team. Confused? Don't know what the heck a Hoosier is? Listen and learn...

30something Movie Podcast ·

2016/04/15

It's he who had an eye and yet couldn't see. It's he who served bouillabaisse when he was a she. It's all of your favorite Jim Varney characters — including Ernest — in their first full-length movie: Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam (1986). John flies solo this time as he tries to make sense of a kids' movie that's not quite a kids' movie and revisits some of the characters we loved from Jim Varney in the 80s.

30something Movie Podcast ·

2016/04/06

Hey, laser lips! Your mother wants you to listen to our episode on Short Circuit, the classic 1986 Pinnochio/Robocop mashup starring Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy. Then if you want some more A.I. fun, go watch the other movies we compare it to (Chappie and Ex Machina), because they're both great movies that explore the idea of consciousness and artificial intelligence.

Episode #62: April Fool's Day

30something Movie Podcast ·

2016/04/01

What do you do when you have a podcast that is covering movies from 1986 and it's April 1st? You record an impromptu episode on the 1986 teen slasher spoof April Fool's Day, of course. Or do you? Is there really an episode here? Or is it 37 minutes of silence? Is it really April 1st?

Episode #60: Batman vs Superman vs Critics vs Audiences

30something Movie Podcast ·

2016/03/30

After a three year wait, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released last week. So far the reviews from fans and critics have been polarizing. Is it as bad as the critics want you to believe? Is it one of the best superhero movies of all time, as some of the fans have stated? You could be the judge... but listen to us judge first, then you can judge all you want. This discussion also ended up longer than we expected, so we're releasing two episodes this week: Part 1 and Part 2 of our BvS

Nobody summons Megatron... but we summon you to listen to the latest episode where we talk the 1986 animated epic — Transformers: The Movie.

30something Movie Podcast ·

We apologize that it's been 8 years since our last episode. We know we have a lot to catch up on, what with it now being 2024 and we can't explain where we've been for all this time. The best we can do is talk about movies... and what better movie from the Time Dilation genre than Flight of the Navigator? Sit down, Navigator. Enjoy!
