80s Cinema Club ·

2024/08/11

This has got to be one of the best action/cop movies ever made and a personal favourite in general. From this weeks episode you can expect an overly interested therapist, a crazy but not crazy cop and some great one liners such as "I guess we need to register you as a lethal weapon."

Episode 52 - Evil Dead 2

80s Cinema Club ·

2024/03/17

This week we are reviewing a film we never thought we would. After our experience with the first Evil Dead we didn't think we'd be back anytime soon, but here we are, and it's maybe only slightly better than expected. In this weeks episode you can expect the quickest end to a relationship probably ever, some of the dumbest characters ever seen and a literal castle...yes that's right, a castle.

Episode 51 - Dune (1984)

80s Cinema Club ·

2024/03/10
