4.8 out of 5 stars from 256 ratings
  • Still an enjoyable listen BUT

    Sadly not the same since Sam Delaney left, what worked so well was the dynamic between Sam &

    Bruce. Bruce had the information on the films and Sam was incredibly funny. With Sam departing so has the comedy sadly.

  • Laugh Out Loud

    Only started this podcast this week and started with the Tango & Cash episode. Very very funny. Have listened to new and old episodes (Sam and now James are excellent co hosts).

    The Jack Palance impression (Young Guns) has my sides hurting.

    Keep up the great work, gents!

  • Back to the 80s

    If you loved the 80s - and let’s face it why wouldn’t you? Listen to this, the only retro 80s film and TV podcast that matters. And then fast forward into the 90s or go further back in time to the 70s by signing up to the Pirate Video Crew. You know it makes sense
