Hey You Guys

Send us a textThere are movies, and then there is 1988's, Dead Heat. On this week's Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam and Rob look back at this underappreciated(?) gem of late 80s cinema. Does it hold up? Did it ever hold up? Did critics miss the point? Are Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo kind of awesome? We discuss via the link in the bio - download and subscribe and stuff....or not. Your call. 

Send us a textThis week, Liam, Rob, and special guest Dave, look back at one of Arnie's lesser watched 80s action movies, the Walter Hill directed, Red Heat. An overlooked classic or a middling 80s buddy movie that should be left in the past? Listen in via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textThe latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob see if Robert Rodriguez's, 1995 neo-western, Desperado has stood the test of time. Does the action still feel ground breaking? Does the plot actually make sense? Are Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas still the hottest on-screen couple since, well....ever? Listen in via the link in the bio to find out. Oh, and do download and subscribe and stuff. Or not. It's your call. 

Send us a textEpisode 217 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, with Mission Impossible back on the big screen, it's as good a time as any to remind folk of what might be Cruise's finest blockbuster movie of the 21st century. Some bizarre marketing might well have dulled its box office impact, but make no mistake, this is a (mostly) brilliant film. Listen in as we discuss everything that works about Edge of Tomorrow, and the one thing that almost derails the entire movie (especially for Rob). Link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 216 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what might be the first true legacy sequel. Martin Scorsese's, The Color of Money works as both a direct sequel to 1961's, The Hustler, and a unique standalone sports movies that just happens to star two of the finest actors of their generations. Does it hold up though? Is Newman still as cool as we remember? Is Cruise as wonderfully annoying as we recall? Listen in via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 215 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and my oh my, this week's movie has really split the room. Is Tim Burtons, 1985 cult classic, Pee-wee's Big Adventure a surrealist masterpiece or, well, one of the worst movies ever made? Listen in via the link in to bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 214 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week we look back a movie that Liam, well, he thought it was a movie about actual toy soldiers that come to life and cause havoc in 90s American suburbia. Turns out, 1991's, Toy Soldiers is actually something of a coming-of-age action movie caught somewhere between Die Hard and Red Dawn. That of course sounds awesome on paper, but does this relatively unknown boarding school-based hostage thriller stand the test of time, or should it be banished to the bin marked 'Die Hard-lite'? Listen in and find out via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 213 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Robert Zemeckis' groundbreaking fantasy noir, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Probably more influential and successful than you remember, but does it hold up? Listen in and find out via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textThe final part of our, 'End of the World' series of podcasts is here, and this week, we are looking back at Frank Darabont's chilling Stephen King Adaptation, The Mist. Is it secretly one of the best King adaptations out there? Is it home to the most memorable ending in recent(ish) cinema history? Just how good is that cast? We discuss via the link in the bio. Download and subscribe and stuff. 

Send us a textThe third part of our, 'End of the World' series of podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look at the most divisive entry in the Mad Max saga, 1985's, Beyond Thunderdome. A patchy dilution of a once great series or a surprisingly fun and oddly iconic slice of 80s cinematic gold? A bit of both perhaps? Listen in (download and subscribe) via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textThe second part of our, 'End of the World' season of podcasts is here, and this week we look back at 1986 cult-curio, Solarbabies? The worst title in movie history? Maybe. But is it actually any good? Well, not really......but it is loads of fun. Listen in as Liam and Rob both tear apart and celebrate this fine example of peak 80s cinema. Download and subscribe via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 209 is here, and for the first part of our, 'End of the World' series of podcasts, we are looking back at Michael Bay's utterly ludicrous, completely nonsensical, but still kinda fun(?), Armageddon. Does it hold up? Did it ever hold up? We discuss via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textDoes The Big Lebowski hold up? Episode 208 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob revisit the Coen Brother's cult 1998 classic. The finest Coen Brothers movie? Best cast of the 90s? Oddly unbearable for many women? We discuss via the link in the bio. Please download and subscribe and stuff. 

Send us a textEpisode 207 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob rewatched 1993's notorious flop, Last Action Hero. Has time been kind to this divisive Schwarzenegger meta celebration of 80s action tropes, or will this forever remain a lesser entry in the Arnie oeuvre? Find out via the link in the bio. Please do download and subscribe and stuff. 

Send us a textEpisode 206 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 1993 cult curio, Freaked. Does it hold up? Did it ever hold up? Too weird to live, to unique to die? Whatever you might think of Freaked, there is certainly nothing else quite like it. Link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 205 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest sequels of the 90s. Always considered Excellent Adventure's poor relation, does 1991's Bill & Ted' Bogus Journey deserves re-evaluation? Is it more ambitious than it is given credit for? Could it, dare I ask, actually be better than the original? Listen in via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textThe 4th and final part of our 'Revisit' season of podcasts is here, and this week, we look back at 1987's cult classic, The Monster Squad. One of the better kids movies of the decade, or is this just a poor man's, The Goonies? Listen in to what we think via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textThe third part of our 'Revisit' season of podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Arnold Schwarzenegger's, 1987 action classic, Predator. Does it hold up? Is it one of the greatest genre movies of all time? How highly does it rank on the Arnie scale? Find out via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textThe latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and for the second part of our 'Revisit' season, we look back at John Carpenter's truly incomparable, Big Trouble in Little China. Is it one of Carpenter's finest? Is it one of the best movies of the 80s? Is the second half a tad too messy for it to be considered a true classic? Oh, and why did lightning look so much better in the 80s? We attempt to answer these questions and many more on this week's episode. Download and listen in via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 201 is here, and for the first part of our 'Revisit' season of podcasts, we will be looking back at one of the most important movies of our youths, 1985's, The Goonies. Does it remain the gold standard for kids adventure movies? Is nostalgia required to enjoy this Richard Donner classic in 2025? Is the Cyndi Lauper music video for 'The Goonies 'R' Good Enough' one of the craziest / best of all time? Find out via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 200 is here, and naturally, we celebrate this auspicious occasion by looking back at 1989's, Robot Jox. A movie both Liam and Rob loved as kids, and one that, despite it's cult status, proved to be a surprisingly influential movie. The question however remains (as is always the case on the Hey You Guys Podcast) - does this movie hold up today? Is this the underappreciated sci-fi classic we remember, or has time been especially unkind to Stuart Gordon's Cold War inspired giant robot brawler? Check out the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 199 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1992's, Kuffs. Is it a good movie? Well, no, not really, but it is an entertaining one. Kuffs proves a tonally inconsistent, unambitious mess of a movie, but one that, for reasons we discuss on this week's episode, remains oddly entertaining. Oh, and Milla Jovovich? Yeah, we discuss that too. Link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 198 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week we take a look back at turn of the century classic, Fight Club. One of the most iconic and memorable movies of the 90s, but does David Fincher's defining Gen X movie hold up? Well, we appear to have split the room with this one. One would argue that it remains a stone cold classic, one blessed with fantastic performances, wonderful cinematography and an array of truly memorable scenes. The other, well, they suggest that, while not without merit that, (whisper it), Fight Club is a tad boring. Listen in via the link in the bio to hear the full discussion. 

Send us a textJoin Rob and Liam this week as they discuss Tron Legacy which astonishingly is now 15 years old. Is Tron Legacy any good, are there any saving graces? can we really forgive that clu de-aging? and finally can you really recommend a film just because part of it is actually good? listen now and find out?

Send us a textThe Hey You Guys Podcast returns, and this week, we take a look back at 1990's, Men at Work. Is it an action movie? A thriller? A comedy? All of these things? None of these things. It's a hard movie to pin down. What we can all agree on though, is that you should never touch another man's fries. Download and subscribe via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 195 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and for the final part of our Christmas season of podcasts, we are taking a look back at Renny Harlin's Die Hard on a plane, otherwise known as Die Hard 2: Die Harder.....also bizarrely known as John Hard 2 and Hard Nut 2. Does it hold up? Is it definitively the third best Die Hard movie? Listen in via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textThe third part in our season of non-traditional Christmas movie podcasts is here, and this week, we are looking back at Renny Harlin and Shane Black's 1996 festive neo-noir classic, The Long Kiss Goodnight. Does it hold up? Should it become a regular on the Christmas movie calendar? Does it have one of the best explosion in cinema history? Download and subscribe via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode of 193 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and in our ongoing season of non-traditional Christmas movies, we take a look back at 1983's seminal comedy classic, Trading Places. Is it a Christmas movie? Well, as much as a movie about trading on orange juice futures can be. Yes, it does have Dan Aykroyd in a Santa suit, and there are certainly a few Christmas trees kicking about, but let's be honest here, this is Christmas adjacent at best. Still, Christmas movie or not, what matters is whether it holds up. So, does it? Download and subscribe via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 192 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and for the first week in our Christmas season of podcast we are looking back at, well, we're looking back at a Thanksgiving movie.....albeit one with a lot of snow. Close enough? Whatever the case, we were just looking for an excuse to revisit John Hughes' oddball comedy classic, Planes, Trains and Automobiles (or in Rob's case, to inexplicably watch it for the first time). Does it hold up? Is it one of Hughes' finest? Download and subscribe via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 191 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is on the way, and this week, Liam, Rob, and special guest, Dave, take a look back at 1982's, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Beloved by fans of the franchise and seen by many as the finest of the Star Trek movies, but does it hold up in 2024? And what of non-Trek fans? Does Wrath of Khan work if you're not a particularly big fan of the franchise? Download and subscribe to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 190 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1994's anime-inspired cult classic, Guyver: Dark Hero. Is it well directed? Probably not. Is the script and acting any good? Hmmmm, that's probably a no too. Is it loads of fun? Yes.....yes it is. Guyver: Dark Hero is far from perfect, but with it's exceptional choreography, wonderful martial arts action and great costume design, it remains an enjoyably daft take on the beloved source material.....if you can look past its faults of course.

Send us a textEpisode 189 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob take a long overdue look back at 1982's seminal family favourite, Steven Spielberg's, E.T the Extra-Terrestrial. Has this revisit made them both converts? Is E.T cute of creepy (or both)? Just how good are the core three child performances? Should there have been more Oscar chat? Download and subscribe via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 188 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is ready to download, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 1993's, Falling Down. Is it as relatable as you remember? Is Duvall just as important to the movie as Douglas? Just how sweaty is Falling Down? Listen in to find out. Subscribe and download via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 187, and the last part of our Halloween season of podcasts is here, and this week, we are looking back at 1987's, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. The best of the sequels? One of the most imaginative horror movies of the 80s? Does it hold up in 2024 though? Download and subscribe via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 186 is here, and for the fourth part of our Halloween season of podcasts, we are looking back at cult horror favourite, Leprechaun. Is it any good? Was it even any good? Does it actually matter? Leprechaun might well be a victory of charm over objective quality, but there is a reason that this movie has spawned....wait, what? How many sequels? Listen in and subscribe via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 185, and the third part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are looking back at 90s cult classic, The Craft. With its memorable cast, wonderfully 90s fashion sense and utterly unforgettable star turn from Fairuza Balk, The Craft proved hugely popular with a certain brand of teenager back in 96.....but what about in 2024? Does it hold up? Is Nancy still a top-tier onscreen witch? Are those clothes fashionable again? Why are there so many witches in LA? Check out the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textEpisode 184 is here, and for the second part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts, we are looking back at 1987's, cult classic, The Gate. Does it hold up? Do they make movies like this anymore? Does it belong in the same conversation as the celebrated likes of Gremlins and Poltergeist, or is this a definitively second-tier family friendly horror? Listen in via the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a textIt's Halloween (well, it's October), and for the first part of our HUGtober season of spooky podcasts, we are looking back at 2005's, Constantine. One of the last pre-MCU comic book movies, Constantine feels like a pleasingly straightforward throwback, but the question is, does it hold up? Is it more Batman Begins or Fantastic 4? Is it starting to show its age? How good is the cast? How, well, not good is Gavin Rossdale? Oh, and juts how highly should one rate Peter Stormare's interpretation of the devil? Very highly or very, very highly? Listen in to find out via the link in the bio. 

Send us a textEpisode 182 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Steven Spielberg's 1975 summer blockbuster classic, Jaws. Does it hold up nearly 50 years later? Just how good is Robert Shaw? Is it the scariest PG movie of all time? Is it actually a horror movie? Check out the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a text"Hack the planet!" - Episode 181 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is ready to download (link in bio), and this week, we take a look back at one of the most 90s movies of all time, 1995's, Hackers. Does it hold up in 2024? Was it even any good in 1995? Whatever the case, I think we can all agree that the cast is awesome, Fisher Stevens is one of the best worst bad guys of all time, and the soundtrack absolutely slays. Let us know what you think. 

Send us a textThis week Rob and Liam take a look at mullet action royalty that is Hard Target. Directed by John Woo and even though shackled the Wooness shines through. With scene stealing performances by Lance Henrickson, Arnold Vosloo and Wilfred Brimley. Hard Target's second half delivers on what we are promised an all out action extravaganza one that is surely not to be missed. Oh and Van Damme is in this too.

Send us a textThis week we watched Sylvester Stallone's 1993 climby action thriller, Cliffhanger. Yes the villains are over the top and their decision making leaves something to be desired. Yes our heroes choices also come into question, but Cliffhanger remains a fun ride. So join us as we discuss the highs and lows of this film.

Send us a Text Message.Does it hold up? Episode 178 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Robert Rodriguez's homage to Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Breakfast Club, 1998's, The Faculty. Just how awesome is the cast? Just how much Tommy Hilfiger is there? What of Josh Hartnett's inexplicable barnet? Does the late 90s CG prove a major hurdle in 2024? We discuss all this and much more. Link in the bio. 

Send us a Text Message.Episode 177 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at Terry Gilliam's dark fantasy.....kids (!?) movie, 1981's, Time Bandits. Does the ending get darker as you get older? Does it have one of the best supporting casts of the 80s? Is David Rapparport the real star of the movie? Is Dream Away by George Harrison the greatest end credits song of all time? And as always, does the movie still hold up? We discuss via the link in the bio. 

Send us a Text Message.Episode 176 is here, and we have finally covered Jan de Bont's, 1994 action movie classic, Speed. Is it as good as we all remember? Is the final act as stupid as it was in 1994? What of Keanu and Sandra? Are they still cooking 30 years later? Check out the link in the bio to find out. 

Send us a Text Message.This week Rob and Liam discuss possibly Arnold's best film with Ivan Reitman. Are Arnie and Devito believable as long lost twin brothers, does the pseudo science make sense? Would you accept being called mamma by two grown ass men? These and many more questions asked on this weeks episode.

Send us a Text Message.The latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at 90s black comedy classic, Grosse Pointe Blank. Is this the most Cusack movie of all time? Is the soundtrack one of the decade's finest? Just how lovely is Minnie Driver? Does it hold up though, or does the movie feel a tad too 90s in 2024? We discuss via the link in the bio. 

Send us a Text Message.Join Rob and Liam as this week we discuss the 1987 "classic" Over The Top. The most Cannon of Cannon films, the most ridiculous sport you could possibly make a movie about. But is Over The Top about arm wrestling or is this your classic father and son bonding movie. With a tyrannical grandfather who won't let anything stand in his way from obtaining said son as his own air. Oh and what exactly does the grandfather do to be this powerful? he seems to have the same occupation as Kevin's father from Home Alone. It all seems a little shady to us.

Send us a Text Message.Episode 172 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at cult horror remake, The Blob. Does it still hold up? Is it secretly one of the best horror movies of the 80s? Just how bad is Kevin Dilllon's hair? And most importantly...what is the best kill? We discuss via the link in the bio. 

Send us a Text Message.Episode 171 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at what secretly might be one of the best action sequels of all time. 1995's, Die Hard with a Vengeance might not match the utter brilliance of the original, but for an hour, man, it sure does come close. The second half does have a wobble, but that top-tier chemistry between Willis and Jackson ensures that the movie gets through its tougher spells....i.e. when it's not being Simon Says. Link in bio. 

Send us a Text Message.Episode 170 is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the surprisingly timeless, Spaceballs. While comedies often age poorly compared to other movie genres, due to (most of) its references remaining as relevant today as they were in 1987, Mel Brooks' classic Star Wars spoof proves surprisingly enjoyable nearly 40 years after its original release. Oh, and if you need reminding, yes, Rick Moranis totally steals the show as Dark Helmet. Link in bio.
