This week, George Perez takes a seat in The Wayback! ("George Perez Stories" podcast).  In this episode, George takes us back to what is was like growing up in Los Angeles in the 1980s as the 2nd youngest of 15 kids!  George gets nostalgic about sneaking out, running the block with his crew "The BMX Bandits", and playing their favorite neighborhood game "ditch 'em."  Ryan and George then take a deep dive on what was a staple for many kids in the 80s: Nintendo tournaments.  They reminisce about Contra, Duck Hunt, Ice Hockey, Madden, and the all-time classic, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!  Lastly, Ryan and George take us back to their high school days to relive some of the successes and failures (mostly failures) of their early female pursuits.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana take trip down under and discuss the 1984 heist (?) movie BMX Bandits.  Nicole Kidman is in this one, and that is it for the cast.  A bunch of kids ride their bikes around and the bad guys can't get out of their own way as the bumble around after the kids.  Of course, these kids do bike downhill A LOT.  Is Sydney built on the side of a mountain?  We are in the dog days of summer here, folks.  Halloween is right around the corner though, and we will have some bangers planned when that rolls around.  Just suck it up and deal with it until then.  At least we make light of a lame situation.  Enjoy the podcast.

There are movies and then there are career changing movies. Drew Barrymore can thank a loveable three foot tall extra terrestrial for putting her on the map. Sean Penn better add Mr. Hand to his holiday cards, because Fast Time At Ridgemont High was his coming out party. Michael Keating might be "Batman" but without Nigh Shift he might of ended up being Mr. Freeze. Nicolas Cage is basking in the moment, but owes it all to Valley Girl...for sure! And before Nicole Kidman was anything, she was a fifteen year old Aussie in the 80s classic, BMX Bandits. Despite all these examples there is one movie I left off that is solely responsible for launching the career of Hollywood's favorite actor. Had it not been for a sweet silly film about a mermaid in New York, Tom Hanks would be nothing more than a Bosom Buddy instead of the A-List star we know today.

After watching BMX Bandits and talking with filmmaker Brian Trenchard-Smith, it only makes sense to look at his other "kids on bikes" movie, The Quest (aka Frog Dreaming, aka Go Kids!). While this is a movie Drew grew up loving, we weren't exactly sure it fit into our current theme, but this was too good an opportunity to discuss it to pass by. Is it a "kids on bikes" movie? How do you deal with a protagonist that needs no real help? And how do you look past some of the movie's more problematic elements? We talk about all of that and more with our deep dive into The Quest. What approach would you use to run a Frog Dreaming inspired session? How would you deal with an overpoweed protagonist like Cody? Let us know what inspiration this film has given you. Interact with the show on Instagram and Twitter or email us at theneversaydiepodcast@gmail.com.

A movie that seemed to be on TV every week in the UK in the early 90s, everybody I knew as a kid seemed to love it but one I never got around to watching. Remembered now for being an early starring role for Nicole Kidman, this movie didn't take world by storm but those who did see it seemed to enjoy it.

In Part Two, concludes our exploration of the enigma that is Duglas T. Stewart and the work of BMX Bandits. We continue to look at the stories behind some of the band's key tracks from the recent past, and the incredible artists that collaborate on them, to bring them to life. One such collaboration that is the stuff of cult legend is their various projects working with Big Star's, Alex Chilton. Chilton was a frequent visitor to the Glasgow, and he was a big influence on the Scottish music scene as a result. Another outstanding collaboration was the work he produced with 1960's cult artist Nick Garrie, who's amazing original body of work would have potentially remained buried in obscurity without Duglas bring it back to mainstream prominence. We come full circle on his amazing body of work by discussing his latest project, a film score for a soon to be released film, ‘Dreaded Light”.

Since 1985, Glaswegian Duglas T. Stewart has been the leader and chief songwriter of BMX Bandits, who The Guardian called “Britain's ultimate cult group”. Kurt Cobain famously said “If I could be in any other band, it would be BMX Bandits”. BMX Bandits have released 16 albums internationally, and albums that BMX Bandits made in 1989, 1991, 1993 and 2006 have also been re-released on vinyl over the last few years. Duglas has collaborated with music legends including Dan Penn, Chip Taylor, Alex Chilton and Kim Fowley. Duglas is also very experienced in the world of broadcasting, having been a producer, A.P. and music consultant on BBC television output including The Beat Room, Top of the Pops Saturday, Comedy Connections and T in the Park. In 2013 and 2014 co-wrote and played one of the leads in the Tartan Features film Wigilia. The film was screened at festivals across the U.K., in the U.S.A. and Poland. Duglas recently completed his first movie score, co-written with fellow Bandit Andrew Pattie, for the forthcoming psychological chiller Dreaded Light. Duglas and BMX Bandits are subjects of the acclaimed documentary features Teenage Superstars and Serious Drugs. In Part One of this Episode, we talk to Duglas about his earliest memories of music. We explore the origins of the BMX Bandits ‘sound' and how the BMX Family came together. It's fair to say that Duglas has an insatiable appetite for music, particularly for sharing and discovering new music. We discuss Duglas' notion that music is its own international ‘language' that doesn't need words, and how the voice can be an instrument in it's own right. We also take a deep dive into some of the detail, background and stories that shape key BMX Bandit's tracks. This fascinating look into the incredibly diverse, creative world of Duglas T Stewart, will conclude in Part Two. This podcast is produced by Urbanista Magazine

Django Nudo and Smut Peddler are back after a short break. This week they attended the Everyman Cult Tuesday (and Friday) screenings with Christina Lindberg introducing "Anita - Swedish Nymphet" (1973).  On 22 November there will be a Calvin Floyd double bill at Stockholm's Bio Aspen.  We thank our Mystery Santa and give a preview of the Badvent calendar that will have 24 films released in December, one per day, as we count down the 24 days of Cultmast. From our partners Echelon Studios we have a trio of fun films, including Scandinavia's only kaiju film (make that Europe's only?) in the giant lizard form of "Reptilicus" (1961). The Danish-American co-production was made in two versions, of which you can watch the re-edited American version on Cultpix. Lizard tail found in Lapland mine grows in gigantic lizard rampaging through downtown Copenhagen - with songs! "BMX Bandits" (1983) is not just Nicole Kidman's acting debut (she was just 16), but also helped solidify BMX bikes as a staple of 80s nostalgia films. There is a straight line from "Goonies" to "Stranger Things" that goes via this kids caper of foiling bank robbers and doing trick rides on cool bikes through Sydney.  Then there is the Swords & Planets sub-genre of "Gor" (1987), that combines the rampent sexism of the original novels with some heavy weight acting talent: Jack Palance as Xenos (born Volodymyr Ivanovytch Palahniuk!), Oliver Reed as Sarm and Arnold Vosloo  (who was the mummy in The Mummy). Interplanetary nonsense with leather bikinis - no less 80-s than BMX bikes. While the poster is the stand-out feature of "The Astounding She-Monster" (1958), there is plenty else to like about this feature that Ed Wood Jr. was un-official consultant to. The budget was tigheter than Shirley Kilpatrick's alien leotard, which ripped on the first of the four days of shooting. As there was no budget to repair it, she had to walk backwards to exit a scene. Shame also that they didn't keep the original title "Naked Invader", which was ditched to appease the censors.  Japan's first celluloid superhero Starman (Sūpā Jaiantsu, literally translated as "Super Giants") is a combination of George Reeve's "Superman" TV show and Doctor Who, as the alien from Planet Emerald sent to help Earth fight of space monsters in various forms. Edited together from TV shows into four feature films, they are cult classics that screened at the Klubb Super 8/Something Weird festival in Stockholm. Start with "Attack From Space" (1965) and be sure that "Invaders from Space" (1966) is the last one you watch as it is also the best one.  Since we started with a kaiju film it is only right to end with one as well, as "Destroy All Planets" (1968), aka Gamera vs. Outer Space monster Viras, pitches giant flying turtle monster Gamera battling Viras with the help of some plucky boy scouts. But what we really want to know is who would win in a battle between Reptilicus vs Gamera or Starman vs the Astounding She Creature?  And why not see BMX Bandits taking on the evil armies of Gor? That would have made for truly interesting films. Or, wait, isn't that what "Turbo Kid" (2015) was?

We celebrate a milestone today with first ever Scottish guest of the pod. Duglas T Stewart, founder and frontman of indie legends BMX Bandits, joins me to discuss the offbeat magic and beautiful naive emotion of Beach Boys 'Love You', the band's bizarre and compelling 1977 'comeback' album, which saw Brian Wilson and a host of wonky synthesisers create a sonic world completely different to the perfectionism of Pet Sounds. We talk about how this record showcases Brian Wilson the lyricist, the simple sentiment of tune like 'Solar System', why the unfiltered emotion of the Beach Boys is more authentic than many modern overwrought overearnest bands, the hidden sadness in 'Johnny Carson', Duglas's conversations with Brian Wilson about the record, the BMX Bandits songs most inspired by the album, Big Star's Alex Chilton's love for the record and which Scottish movie would make the best name for an Australian band. My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music. Each episode features a different songwriter or musician discussing their favorite album of all time - their history with it, the making of the album, individual songs and the album's influence on their own music. Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer from Sydney, Australia who has worked in the music industry since 2007. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the feature film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins, in addition to many commercials and music videos.
