Midweek Mention Episodes

We're breaking the first two rules of Fight Club this week as we talk about the very thing you're not supposed to talk about. Fight Club was released in 1999, directed by David Fincher and polarised critics and audiences alik...

I believe that Stand By Me is Stephen King's favourite adaptation of his own writing. High praise indeed, but just what did the Dads think of the supposed "classic".

Generally regarded as the goriest movie ever made... We watched Braindead. From the guy who made the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The same guy. Unbelievable!!

The Da Vinci Code is a book. I've never read it, but I recall seeing lots of copies in airport shops back when we were able to travel. Well, the book was a hit, so the Hollywood execs had the thing made into a movie. Tom Hank...

Inspired by Peter Andre's mistaken feeling that Sidey hates Robin Williams, we revisited The Fisher King. The film tells the story of a radio shock jock who tries to find redemption by helping a man whose life he inadvertentl...

Avid fan of the show, Jamie Cairns nominated The Boondock Saints. This gem was released in 1999 by writer/director Troy Duffy. All round good egg Harvey Weinstein was so taken with the concept that he gave Mr Duffy one hell ...

Dan was let loose to nominate this week. Long time listeners may have heard Dan mention this movie a few times down the years. We watched LET IT RIDE (1989). A movie starring a fella whose name we couldn't agree how to pronou...

Jonathan Glazer 's directorial debut , Sexy Beast, is a heist thriller featuring an all time great performance from Sir Ben Kingsley. Here he's equal parts swearing machine and crime gang psychopath. He really does steal this...

With three of the Dads being big fans of From Dusk Till Dawn the pressure was on Sidey to make it a full house. Quentin Tarantino wrote and starred alongside George Clooney in the bonkers film of two halves. It is very diffic...

Kinji Fukasaku 's BATTLE ROYALE (200) is sometimes hailed as a modern classic. Quentin Tarantino certainly thinks so, and who are we to argue with him!? Well at least one of the Dads is keen for an argument as someone didn't ...

Join us to discuss the 2021 Disney parent murder-fest CRUELLA. Warning, we do chat about all the spoilerific movie content! We do however also have a bunch of copies of the movie available to giveaway, which is nice. All you ...

Identity is a film that we watched.

RUSH HOUR is the 1998 buddy action comedy film brought to us by the visionary auteur Brett Ratner. We can be as horrible as we like about him, because he's a gigantic turd. However, this film marked the first non-dubbed Jacki...

If you've listened to the show for any length of time you'll know exactly what we think about Michael Bay movies. Peter Andre very kindly nominated on the Mr Bay's masterpieces, 1996's THE ROCK. Can this one shine through in ...

Boogie Nights is a movie we've mentioned a lot on the show. It was released in 1997, and I don't think I've seen it since then! Time to revisit it and see if this holds up after all these years!

Number 5 is alive. But sadly so is casual racism and lazy story telling. We watched Short Circuit. A film we all enjoyed as kids and probably should have left it that way!

Kevin Smith takes occasional time out from swooning over us on Twitter to make movies. One of those films forms the subject of this week's Midweek Mention. We watched Clerks and if you listen closely to this podcast, you can ...

Peter Andre loves The Burbs. He has threatened violence against his fellow hosts if they don't like this movie. This could get ugly!

Our podcast is alive...With the SOUND OF MUSIC! Peter Andre and Sidey have already outed themselves a big Sound of Music fans. What about the others? If you've been on twitter this week you'll know Reegs thoughts. One thing t...

Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's 2011 THE CABIN IN THE WOODS is a postmodern comedy which takes the familiar tropes and conventions of horror movies to unexpected places. Witty, fun and so incredibly meta that it works both as ...

This is a trip down memory lane. It's a movie that Sidey studied at school and that Dan went to see at the pictures on it's opening night. We watched The Third Man, the classic film noir, Harry Lime bootlegging story. There...

Risky territory here, as we take our first look at the work of the Coen Brothers. Risky in that I'm going to be very disappointed if any of the guys didn't enjoy this movie! Blood Simple is the 1984 debut movie of the Coen Br...

Stuntman and fight choreographer turned writer and director Jesse V. Johnson's third collaboration with English martial artist Scott Adkins was 2018's THE DEBT COLLECTOR, a superior DTV action crime-thriller. Adkins plays Fre...

Peter Andre had fond memories of the 1992 Brian De Palma movie RAISING CAIN and with none of the other dads having seen it, the midweek mention was the perfect place to settle down and discuss this feverishly ludicrous psycho...
