Blow Out is a Bouphe pick! John Travolta is a foley man who goes out one night to record the sound of wind blowing and accidentally captures something that lands him right into a conspiracy.

Bouphe loves amusement parks (but not the rides, they make her feel ill), Eddie Murphy and dumb action. This film has all three!

Simon loves this boy's film for the lads, a manly movie where men shoot other men in a real manly way. It's Equilibrium - a future where emotions are banned and fascism is in. Christian Bale, Seans Bean and Pertwee, kung fu with guns, aka gun fu or gun kata! This film only exists because of The Matrix.

Another Bouphe pick, another Neil Breen movie. The moment we had been dreading finally comes to pass (thru). Neil Breen is a space Jesus AI with power to manipulate space, time and energy. Dark matter, dark energy, quantum physics, the string theory. Sounds great doesn't it? It isn't. Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon www.patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Bouphe pick! The director of this film describes it as “a mysterious man comes to a small town to perform a mysterious event and everybody is fascinated by him and everybody is in love with everybody else”. He also made The Greasy Strangler. It's awkward, weird, otherworldly, and like a dream you have after eating too much cheese.

Gee's tenth pick, the dice love her. There's something in the waters surrounding Amity Island. It's big, has sharp teeth, loves eating people and has a theme tune that plays when it appears. The 50th Annual Regatta could be a disaster! The first ever summer blockbuster movie, Spielberg created a slasher movie where the villain is an animal (sorry for the spoiler, but yes - it's a shark).  Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon www.patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Was this a fairytale experience or a hideous, ugly beast? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon www.patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Gee has picked this classic sci fi/horror. Jeff Goldblum goes on a 15 feet teleportation trip but something goes awry; he undergoes an unprecedented transformation from nerdy scientist to gigachad superhuman but the problem is he keeps changing... Does this classic Cronenberg body horror make us buzz with excitement or make us bang our heads against a window pane?

Bouphe finally gets another pick! Huzzah! What happens when you take a forgotten kung fu movie from the '60s, redub it, add extra footage chroma keyed into it, then add a CG of fighting cow and tongue? A movie that falls flat on its face or flying kicks its way to victory? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Simon has picked Who Killed Captain Alex? the legendary ultra-low budget action movie from Uganda available to watch for free on YouTube. Shootouts! Kung fu! Helicopters! VJ Emmie on the M.I.C.!

Gee pick! Jagged Edge! She wanted us to watch a neo-noir whodunnit thriller, found this movie existed and it went onto her list. The husband to a rich murdered wife is the only suspect until 73 minutes into the movie, did he do it? Jagged Edge or blunt rusty tool?

Gee picked this video game adaptation cos she just wanted to munch popcorn and turn off brain. Angelina Jolie plays the only woman in existence, Lara Croft, surrounded by men who either want to kill her or make love to her. Was this film a real treasure or should it have remained buried and forgotten? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Another Simon horror pick! Big director, big budget, big stars! Francis Ford Cop-a-load of this classic story adapted to the big screen.

Gee sure loves her Hugh Jackman 19th century period pieces where he plays a showman. Deadly rivalry between magician Christian Bale and Huge Jackedman in the late 19th Century with a splash of science fiction. Did the movie make us gasp in wonder or do we wish it would just disappear? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Bouphe finally gets another pick. This film is very important to her and sharing this experience with us means a lot. A 38-year old man is still in highschool; he sings songs, blows up a chemistry lab, murders fish and falls in love with a much younger girl. Daredreamer or Darenightmarer?

Gee won again! The harrowing tale of a man wronged by society, a Vietnam vet with PTSD dealing with conflict both inside his mind and out in the forests of the Pacific NW. Is it Rambo or Ram-boo?

One of Gee's picks, Tropic Thunder, an action movie where everything goes horribly wrong, where the lines between reality and fiction blur, where Robert Downey Jr dons blackface and yet isn't racist...? Oscars all round or did the film go full? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A Simon pick! Dead Again, starring (at the time) married couple Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson. Past lives! Murder! Mystery! Suspense! Scissors! So many scissors!

Another Simon pick - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension, what a mouthful! Peter Weller, Robocop himself, starred in this scifi cult classic with Jeff Goldblum and John Lithgow. Simon could never finish this film on prior viewings, that's not a good sign.

Simon finally gets a film of his picked - Galaxina! A scifi masterpiece with stunning effects starring Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten who died tragically shortly after the film released.

Our first Neil Breen Episode - Bouphe's pick was the legendary auteur's film Twisted Pair!

Fate (with a little help) has determined that we watched Bouphe's pick - Frankenhooker!
