In this episode of Born to Watch, we take a wild ride back to 1985 for a Weird Science (1985) Review, where two geeky teens somehow manage to create the perfect woman with a little help from a computer, some questionable science, and a whole lot of 80s magic. But does this John Hughes cult classic still hold up today, or is it a relic best left in the past? Whitey, G Man, and Damo break it all down—the absurd plot, the unforgettable performances, and the film's impact on pop culture.From Oingo Boingo's legendary theme song to the iconic Kelly LeBrock taking nerd wish-fulfillment to a whole new level, Weird Science is packed with classic 80s energy. But how does it fare when viewed through a modern lens? We debate the film's over-the-top humor, its place in the John Hughes cinematic universe, and whether it's truly a teenage fantasy or just plain ridiculous. And speaking of ridiculous—how about that scene-stealing performance from Bill Paxton as Chet? He might just be one of cinema's most unforgettable older brothers.And here's a question for the real movie buffs: Did Mad Max 2 inspire Weird Science? With Vernon Wells reprising a very familiar role, it's hard to ignore the similarities. We dig into the connections between the two films and how a Mad Max villain somehow ended up in this teenage comedy.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without some heated debates. Are Ian and Max the worst dweeb bullies in movie history? Did this film get overlooked in a stacked year of 80s cinema? And what was up with Gary's infamous bar scene—comedic genius or a joke that went on way too long?We also bring back the fan-favorite Hit Sleeper Dud segment, uncovering forgotten 1985 gems and taking a closer look at No Retreat, No Surrender, Fortress, and the bizarre misfire that was Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Plus, we read some hilarious listener comments and break down why one fan thinks our Fight Club episode might just be the Dune: Part Two of our podcast.And don't miss the return of Whitey's Kick Arse Credit Theme Song, only a quality jingle could make Gow's song this week better.

Text us and say hello!In the second installment of our 3-part look back at the Sam Raimi Spider-Man saga, I team up once again with Odian Levy, the soon-to-be best-selling author behind "Hummingbird," to dissect what is widely hailed as the pinnacle of superhero cinema: Spider-Man 2. This sequel didn't just raise the stakes; it set a new gold standard for what superhero movies could be, intertwining heart-pounding action with the all-too-human drama of balancing life's competing demands.Directed by the horror maestro Sam Raimi, Spider-Man 2 burst onto the scene over twenty years ago, leaving an indelible mark on both Odian and myself. Its blend of thrilling action, deep emotional resonance, and groundbreaking visual effects not only redefined the genre but also resonated with us on a personal level, etching vivid memories of our first viewings (and in Odian's case, the numerous repeat viewings in theaters).This episode dives deep into the rich tapestry of Spider-Man 2, exploring how Peter Parker's juggling act between his duties as a student, photographer, friend, and masked vigilante strikes a chord with anyone who's ever struggled to find balance in their life. We peel back the layers of this cinematic gem, discussing its complex characters, innovative visuals, and the compelling narrative that elevates it from a mere superhero flick to a cinematic tour de force.As always, we sprinkle in anecdotes of our own experiences with the film and wax nostalgic about our enduring love for everything Spider-Man – from the comics and video games to the beloved 90s animated series.So kick back, relax, and join us on this journey through Spider-Man 2 – a film that not only epitomizes the thrill and burden of great power and great responsibility but also continues to swing high as a beacon in superhero storytelling.Support the Show.We've got merch!Check out the site for some awesome Gen 'S' swag :)

Text us and say hello!In part 1 of our 3-part retrospective discussion on the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, I'm joined by future best-selling author, Odian Levy (author of Hummingbird, which you can check out here), as we dive deep and dissect what many consider to be the true kick-off point to modern superhero movies, and the reason that we have the vast superhero-centric cinematic universes that we do today (for better and for worse, mind you). Directed by Sam Raimi, who, at the time, was mostly known for his works in the horror genre (including the Evil Dead films), Spider-Man was released in theaters over TWENTY years ago, in the summer of 2002. Yep...it's been that long. This was a film that, for me, and for Odian, had such an impact on us, with vivid memories of seeing it for the first time (plus Odian reveals just how many times he actually went to see it in theaters). We also kicked things off by sharing our love of our favorite friendly neighborhood hero, including the comics, the video games, and of course, the wildly successful animated series from the 90s. There's a lot to cover in this one, and I think we did a pretty good job. So kick back, relax, and enjoy hearing all about what happens when you have great power, and great responsibility.

And got some great Q's this week: Which one of these two could actually hold down a job? What the hell did Bill's mum see in Bill's dad? And if your sibling has just left you with Napoleon, what would you do with him? But that’s not all!!!

Holy sheeeeat it doesn't get much bigger than this. But when you are going to review one of the greatest movies ever made you need to go big, and so we did. For the first of our Christmas Specials we reached out to some of our favourite podcasters and managed to get in Paul from the Countdown Podcast along with Gidgit from the Retro Cinema Podcast. Daniel from the IMDB Journey Podcast was also meant to join but couldn't, we managed to sneak some post-podcast stuff in from him though. Anyway, as we had five people on it we needed to spice things up, so we had 3 personal questions each, and 5 questions you can apply to any movie. And the questions were outstanding... in fact... here they are, in all their glory. 1. Sam - Compliment sandwich 2. Paul - What item from this film would you want, or not want, to be? 3. Gidgit - What quote from this film would you definitely not want to hear immediately after having sex? 4. Dan - What film would be the best, or worst, to watch with this as a double header? 5. Stacey - How would you incorporate Nicholas Cage into this film? 6. Sam - what would the porn parody name be for this film? 7. Sam - who’s the biggest dumba$$ in this film? 8. Sam - which one of us would do the best against a gang of terrorists? 9. Paul - What would you write on the dead terrorist's shirt to send a message to Hans rather than "...now I have amachine gun. Ho-ho-ho"; Give your answer in a Hans Gruber accent as per the scene in which he discovers the body in an elevator. 10. Paul - Argyle effectively quits his job by lying about driving to Vegas, racking up a massive phone bill talking to his girlfriend on the car phone, drinking the mini-bar dry and then crashing the limo. What job would you most like toabuse the perks of and then quit on day one? 11. Paul - Which three characters would you want stranded on a deserted island with you and why? 12: Gidgit - What quirky John Hughes movie role would you cast Hans Gruber in? 13. Gidgit - Rather than them being German – what other country would you make them from that is funny? 14. Gidgit - Instead of Bonnie Bedellia – cast a kick ass female action star as Holly. 15. Dan - Hans mentions Rambos name when first speaking to McClane. How would the movie have gone differentlyif it actually WAS Rambo loose in the building instead of McClane? 16. Dan - McClane has “yippy kay yay motherf-“, what would be your quippy one liner? 17. Dan - Who is your favourite secondary character, and why is it Ellis? 18. Stacey – What’s your worst work Christmas party experience? 19. Stacey – What could modern action films learn from Die Hard? 20. Stacey – Re-cast Bruce Willis – I dare you! But the best questions are from our premier patreons, Phil Joynson and Emily Higgins! They had questions 2 and 4 above that they picked and are in our show forever.

Taking a step back in time to do Matiu's favourite film, the Arnie hit of 1985, Commando. As usual some great questions in there, like what fictional characters daughter would we definitely NOT want to kidnap, what would a reboot of this movie look like now, and where the hell did Arnie find the digger that he used to bust through the front of the gun store. But the best is the question from our premier patreon, Phil Joynson! He's now question number 2 for eternity! Or until he stops paying us. Want to join his ranks?

A tonne of fun! We then go through the responses to the previous Question of the week 'What is the most overrated film on the Top 250 list?', and we take a look at the results of the previous round of matches in our 'Best Director Tournament. We then take some time to discuss what else we've been watching this week, including Hereditary, American Animals, and the powerhouse documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Putting their gloves on in the '81 ring were draft vets Tony from Take Too Podcast and Marc from Poop Culture plus draft newbies Gidgit from The Retro Cinema and Billy from We Watched A Thing!

Sex! Sex! Sex! (Also gender!) The more we think about gender, the more fascinated we are by even just the IDEA of it. What is a man? What is a woman? And why do some people refuse to bathe?

I feel the need. The need for speed. No not the drug variety, I mean the high octane adventure that is the 1986 classic Top Gun! And hell if we are gonna do a film from the 80's we better get in someone who knows her stuff, so who better than Gidgit Von La Rue of the http://theretrocinema.com/! Another fun ep full of some great Q's! What would your callsign be? What was more believable, the relationship between Maverick and Ice Man or between Maverick and Charlie?

In this episode we are joined by New York friend of the show Elle and wow is the conversation lit! We talk a ridiculous amount of topics this week, including two GBS PSA's, we shout out to Retro Cinema and Gidgit Von La Rue for their love of 80's movies especially Adventures in Babysitting, we have several RIP's this week including the Jerry Springer Show and we talk to Elle about her journey to Kentucky fandom and what it's like to live in not only a college sports desert but also a bourbon desert. Finally Leigh and Elle talk about what it's like to try and date in 2018. We play a great game of Take It or Leave It, of course we can't cover everything in the description, you'll just have to listen

Episode 121 is Moonlighting with guest host that screen twitting queen Gidgit VonLaRue from the Retro Cinema podcast. We may go off topic a bit but seamlessly put back on track and recorded at 5am my side but I'm okay when the coffee kicks in. Maddie Hayes wakes up to find her staff have quit and all her money has been stolen. One of her few remaining assets is a loss-making investigation agency run by David Addison
Usually the definition of a sophisticated Australian is a New Zealander, but not in this case when we had the amazingly eloquent Paul from the Countdown Podcast join us and raise the standards of our show. As he was our dearly welcomed guest, we allowed him to pick the movie and he went with one of his all time favourite films, John Carpenter's The Thing, from 1982. And he crushed it! Some highlights included: What line would NOT work as a pick up line? What could modern horror learn from this film? How would you recast this movie with millenials? And what character just clearly needs to get laid? Like Paul and want more? You can find his show here: http://thecountdownmoviesandtv.podomatic.com/ Or on any of your favourite apps.
