Podcasts about Whitey

The heat is back on as the Born to Watch crew heads back to Beverly Hills for some high-octane hijinks, fast-talking cons, and serious shoulder-padded style. In this week's episode, Whitey, G-Man, and Dan on the Land revisit the 1987 sequel that turned up the dial on Eddie Murphy's star power with their Beverly Hills Cop II Review, directed by the ever-slick Tony Scott.From the moment Axel Foley slides behind the wheel of a Ferrari to the final shootout at the oil fields, the team breaks down why this neon-soaked action-comedy remains an ‘80s icon. They revel in Murphy's unmatched charisma, dissect the film's bold visual flair, and relive the glory of Harold Faltermeyer's synth-driven score and Bob Seger's anthemic “Shakedown.”Whitey goes deep on Tony Scott's signature aesthetic, the burnished orange hues, the stylized action, the hyper-stylized masculinity, while G-Man keeps it grounded with sharp takes on the film's functional but fun villainy and the lovable duo of Rosewood and Taggart. Meanwhile, Dan (pizza in hand) dishes on Eddie's behind-the-scenes power moves and the rise of “Eddie Murphy Productions,” proving this was the moment Axel Foley became Eddie Murphy's true alter ego.The boys aren't afraid to poke fun, either. From the inexplicable countdown robberies and oddly muscular strippers to baffling wardrobe coincidences (how did that blazer fit Taggart so well?), this episode's got more questions than an alphabet heist. And don't get them started on the extra at the Playboy Mansion doing an interpretive dance; he's earned a permanent spot in the Bad Running Ripley Hall of Fame.They also tip their hats to the era: the coke-fueled Simpson/Bruckheimer production madness, the bafflingly low Rotten Tomatoes scores despite the film being the second biggest box office hit of 1987, and the sheer power of a good montage scored by Seger. It's a masterclass in style-over-substance, but sometimes style is the substance.And of course, it wouldn't be a Born to Watch episode without diversions into North Shore memories, Magnum P.I. comparisons, and the origin story of Dan's legendary mustard shirt. If you know, you know.So, whether you're an ‘80s kid raised on VHS or just discovering that Beverly Hills had a crime problem solvable only by Detroit's finest, this episode is a full-throttle celebration of a sequel that doesn't just play the hits, it cranks them.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Beverly Hills Cop II better than the original? Does Tony Scott's style elevate the film or overshadow it? Which song hits harder: “Shakedown” or “The Heat Is On”?Leave us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#BornToWatch #BeverlyHillsCopII #EddieMurphy #TonyScott #80sMovies #ActionComedy #MoviePodcast #BobSeger #Shakedown #CultClassics #BeverlyHillsCop2

This week on Born to Watch, we lace up our Asics, slap on a second singlet, and head to the sun-soaked courts of Venice Beach as we rewind to 1992 with our White Men Can't Jump Review, a film that might be the most gloriously nineties thing we've ever reviewed. From hypercolor hats to bike shorts over trackies, this movie is a time capsule of an era when trash talk was an art form and hustling was a full-time job.Whitey and G Man go deep on this cult classic, remembering their own basketball glory days and how this film shaped their approach to trash talk on and off the court. More than just a sports movie, White Men Can't Jump is a gritty, witty, and surprisingly layered look at addiction, betrayal, and self-destruction, with a side of slam dunks and “yo mama” jokes.Woody Harrelson's Billy Hoyle is the kind of guy who can't get out of his own way, while Wesley Snipes' Sidney Deane has charm, ambition, and just enough hustle to burn his own mates. Together, they're magic on the court, but it's off the court where their flaws truly shine. Gloria, played by Rosie Perez, may be one of the most annoying characters in cinematic history, but she's also a vital part of the film's emotional punch, and maybe, just maybe, part of Billy's downfall.The boys ask the big questions: Is this actually a comedy? Or is it a cleverly disguised tragedy about two men who can't get out of their own way? Is Gloria the real villain? And why does Sidney wear a cycling cap to play basketball? There are critical breakdowns of the basketball action (which holds up surprisingly well), deep dives into the fashion, and stories of real-life trash talk glory from the Narrabeen Fitness Camp days.We cover everything from the impeccable chemistry between Harrelson and Snipes to the deeper themes that still resonate today. And yes, we've got the stats: box office, critical reception, director Ron Shelton's sporting film pedigree, and why this movie may be more about green than black or white.So grab your Gatorade, stretch out like Billy on the sideline, and settle in for a Born to Watch deep cut that'll take you back to a simpler time—when all you needed was a ball, a dream, and someone to hustle.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Billy Hoyle the most frustrating character in sports movie history?Was Gloria's Jeopardy obsession genius or just plain annoying?Who had the better game—Billy or Sydney?Please drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#BornToWatch #WhiteMenCantJump #WesleySnipes #WoodyHarrelson #RosiePerez #90sBasketball #MovieHustle #TrashTalkLegends #RonShelton #MoviePodcast

In today's episode of the True Sports Cards Show, Whitey and Imran talk about... Upcoming Tyler Soderstrom signing at True Sports Cards in Rocklin The NBA Finals Game One, how it effects the card market and Kings fans They take callers hot takes for the Kings and much more!

They discuss the importance of Men's Mental Health Awareness, highlighting that men's struggles are often overlooked. KiddChris shares a personal story of a severe panic attack he experienced at a cemetery after seeing a girl drawing by a grave, which reminded him of his daughter. He mentions coping through humor, medication, and therapy.Sara has a news story details a DoorDash driver demanding a tip at gunpoint from a family in Vancouver, Washington, leading to his arrest on felony harassment, DUI, and assault charges.Sara discusses being in a bad mood due to her "lady time" and her dog peeing the bed.A bizarre story is shared about a thief in Portsmouth, Ohio, who broke into a Dollar General wearing only white underwear and a cape to steal women's undergarments.The hosts talk about challenges in the radio industry, including a country radio station in Nashville firing its entire staff despite being in the "country music capital". They also reveal that on-air song requests are often staged.

This week on Born to Watch, we dive headfirst into the bug-infested chaos of Paul Verhoeven's 1997 cult classic, with our Starship Troopers (1997) Review. It's brutal, brilliant, and batshit insane and we wouldn't have it any other way.With the Born to Watch crew all lined up in the co-ed showers, Whitey, Damo, Dan, and special guest Matty Beer Geek go deep (but not too deep) on the movie that was mocked at release but has grown into a beloved sci-fi satire. Is this just a brainless space action flick? Or is it a razor-sharp takedown of fascism and militarism? Or both? Spoiler: it's both.We break down the iconic moments: the ridiculously perfect jawlines of Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards, Michael Ironside chewing scenery like the legend he is, and Jake Busey's teeth doing most of the acting for him. From Zegema Beach to brain bug psychic probes, we cover it all.Expect plenty of laughs as the boys recall their first times watching it, at sweaty cinemas, VHS marathons, and maybe even the odd midnight screening. Plus, some heartfelt debate: Dizzy or Carmen? Would you sign up to be a citizen or sit back and let the bugs win? And yes, we do get very specific about the co-ed shower logistics (spoiler: prep is key).There's also time for a raucous trip down 1997 memory lane. Damo sweats it out in the back row, Dan's off riding dirt bikes through Romania and eating 19 types of salami, and Matty brings his A-game from the West. We revisit the hottest music of the year, the infamous Playboys of McDonald's video rental section, and mourn the box office fate of Starship Troopers. This misunderstood gem lost money but gained a cult following.With a budget that would make even the Federation blush, and CGI bugs that still look better than some 2025 blockbusters, Starship Troopers is pure Verhoeven: provocative, pervy, and politically charged.We also take aim at the critical drubbing this movie received on release, some reviewers clearly didn't get the joke. We shine a light on the film's relevance today: Would the satire hit harder in a post-Hunger Games, post-Fury Road world? Is this what our future looks like if TikTok replaces civics education?In true Born to Watch fashion, we ask the tough questions:Is this Verhoeven's secret masterpiece?Who's worse: Carmen or the bugs?And most importantly, how do you prep for a co-ed shower in boot camp?Whether you're a superfan who's seen it 30 times or a rookie just enlisting in the Mobile Infantry, this episode is for you. So load your Morita rifle, shout “Kill ‘em all!”, and join us as we break down Starship Troopers the only way we know how, boobs, bugs, banter, and all.Because remember: everyone fights. No one quits. And we were Born to Watch.

In this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're diving deep, like three layers deep, into Christopher Nolan's reality-bending sci-fi thriller with our Inception (2010) Review. The team celebrates three years of podcasting with one of the most mind-twisting films of the 21st century.It's only fitting that a film about dreams, time loops, and subconscious sabotage kicks off our birthday episode. With a cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ken Watanabe, this Nolan original has become a modern classic. But is it as smart as it thinks it is? Does the top fall? And how many times do you really need to watch it to understand what the hell is going on?Whitey, G-Man, and Damo don't just scratch the surface, they go full inception mode, breaking down the film's ambitious plot, its dream architecture, and whether Cobb is actually home with his kids or just lost in another layer.From Dreamscapes to DiCaprioWhitey kicks off with his usual gusto, revealing that he saw Inception solo on opening day, classic cinephile move. He hails it as peak Nolan and DiCaprio's most complex role, while G-Man confesses he just watched the movie in full for the first time this week. Damo, meanwhile, delivers the ultimate snob flex: he's seen it three times and still finds new details with each watch.The team breaks down Dom Cobb's fractured psyche, the emotionally rich (and confusing) relationship with Mal, and how Ariadne (played by Elliot (Ellen) Page) is more than just the new recruit; she's the audience surrogate. There's praise for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's gravity-defying hallway fight and Tom Hardy's cheeky charm as dream-forger Eames. Hardy might just be playing his most “normal” character ever.The Nolan EffectFrom the layered timelines to the rules of the dream world, Nolan's script is pure high-concept storytelling. The boys debate the film's exposition-heavy style, with Damo defending it as necessary and Whitey pointing out how cleverly the rules are integrated into dialogue. G-Man admits that the film almost lost him early on, but it eventually clicked.The group agrees that what sets Inception apart isn't just its ambition, it's the balance between visual spectacle and emotional stakes. Cobb's longing to return to his children grounds the entire story. As Whitey puts it, “Love is the engine of the movie.” And that spinning top at the end? The debate rages, with Damo arguing that the wedding ring, not the top, is Cobb's real totem.Zimmer's Sonic BoomHans Zimmer's iconic score is one of the true stars of the episode and the film. The guys take a detour to relive their recent trip to see Zimmer live, where “Time” was the final encore and “Mombasa” opened the show. Damo drops some deep trivia, including Zimmer's creation of the signature “braaam” sound that became a staple in modern trailers.Zimmer's blend of orchestral grandeur and percussive power is credited with elevating Inception to the next level. It's not just background music, it's narrative glue.Big Ideas, Bigger DebatesThe episode also tackles the meta: could inception be real? Is dream-sharing possible? The crew has fun exploring the logic (and illogic) of the film's concept, concluding that it's a hard "maybe". They also dive into Nolan's place in the pantheon of modern directors, putting him above even some of the biggest names for his commitment to originality.Damo offers a run-through of the best Nolan films, debating whether Inception tops The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Memento. G-Man drops trivia about the film's production and cast (yes, Pete Postlethwaite was only in it for three minutes), and the whole crew salutes Nolan's ability to deliver blockbuster-level art films.IN THIS EPISODE:Dream physics, logic puzzles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in zero-GThe tragic brilliance of Mal and why Cobb's guilt is the real villainTom Hardy: suave or too normal?The mystery of Ariadne's tiny pantsIs this peak Nolan? (Spoiler: probably)Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your movie fix.Join the conversation:Does the top fall or spin forever?Is Inception Nolan's best film or just his most ambitious?Who out of the cast would make the best Bond?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and tell us your dreams—or nightmares—about the movie.#InceptionReview #ChristopherNolan #LeonardoDiCaprio #BornToWatchPodcast #HansZimmer #TomHardy #MoviePodcast #SciFiMovies #MindBendingCinema #DreamWithinADream

Clint Eastwood might be known for playing grizzled, hard-as-nails lawmen, but in our In the Line of Fire (1993) Review, he takes things in a different direction, just slightly. This week, the Born to Watch crew dives into this overlooked 90s political thriller that pits Eastwood's aging Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan against one of cinema's most memorable villains: John Malkovich as the terrifying Mitch Leary.Whitey, G-Man, and Will “The Worky” are in studio to unpack the deadly game of cat and mouse that unfolds in Wolfgang Petersen's taut, tense, and occasionally trope-heavy flick. What follows is a mix of movie breakdowns, personal throwbacks, accidental roastings, and a bold declaration that Malkovich might just rival Hannibal Lecter as one of the great screen psychopaths.Eastwood: Still Got It (But Also, He's 63) Gow calls Eastwood's performance “Dirty Harry with a blue pill next to the bed.” Whitey thinks it's flirty, even charming, a rare side of Clint. Will just seems shocked that he's now the Born to Watch Eastwood expert. The team debates whether Frank Horrigan is one of Clint's best post-Unforgiven roles or just another iteration of his go-to tough guy with a badge and a haunted past.Malkovich: BAFTA Noms, Creepy Vibes, and a Murderous Basement John Malkovich steals the show as Mitch Leary, a former CIA assassin with a grudge, a creepy lair that looks suspiciously like Buffalo Bill's basement, and a habit of tormenting Clint over the phone. His calm delivery, terrifying intensity, and sheer unpredictability earned him an Academy Award nomination and earned our crew's unanimous praise. The guys marvel at his screen presence, his range, and yes, his mysterious career choices.'90s Tropes and Why We Love Them The gang agrees: In the Line of Fire is soaked in ‘90s action movie tropes, and that's not a complaint. From overbearing chiefs of staff and cheesy one-liners to conveniently timed sniper reveals and romantic subplots with massive age gaps, the movie wears its era on its sleeve. Renee Russo's chemistry with Clint is questionable at best, and her role sparks a deep (and hilarious) debate about whether she's “a good sort” or a “right-light good sort.”Clint's Dating Age Gap: A Cinematic Tradition With Eastwood at 63 and Russo at 39, the romantic tension raises eyebrows. “She's two years younger than his daughter,” Whitey points out. “It could've been a father-daughter thing.” The conversation doesn't stop there; it spirals into references to Seinfeld, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Monty Burns.Cat, Mouse, and Jazz Piano This movie isn't just about bullets and bravado — it's got emotional weight too. Frank's regret over JFK's assassination adds gravitas to the plot, and the constant tension between him and Leary plays out over landlines and cassette recorders. The team loves the phone calls, the psychological warfare, and yes, Clint's real-life jazz piano skills.IN THIS EPISODE:Eastwood's “grizzled flirt” energy gets ratedMalkovich's villain performance gets compared to movie greatsThe trailer's original JFK-themed edit sparks a nostalgic digression‘90s newsagents, porno mags, and the glory days of inside sport magazinesDamo cops heat in the Snobs Report beef from a random footy guyIt's a movie about obsession, redemption, and running beside the presidential limo at 60+. It's also a conversation packed with pop culture tangents, Eastwood trivia, and plenty of digs at Morgs (who's nowhere to defend himself).LISTEN NOW on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.Join the conversation:Is In the Line of Fire Clint's last great performance?Did Malkovich deserve the Oscar?Is 63 too old to be jogging beside the president's car?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and let us know.#InTheLineOfFire #ClintEastwood #JohnMalkovich #BornToWatchPodcast #90sThriller #MoviePodcast #ReneeRusso #SecretServiceMovie

This week on the True Sports Cards Show Imran and Whitey are back at it talking about... The NBA Draft lottery The Jayson Tatum injury Brock Purdy's massive contract extension Hot and Cold cards And much much more!

This week on Born to Watch, the team takes aim at one of Quentin Tarantino's most audacious creations with their Inglourious Basterds (2009) Review. Set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II, Tarantino weaves together a brutal tale of revenge, propaganda, and pure cinematic spectacle. Brad Pitt leads the charge as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, a grizzled American soldier commanding a team of Jewish fighters with one simple mission, kill Nazis and collect their scalps.It's a deliciously violent premise, executed with Tarantino's signature flair for dialogue, tension, and shock value. Whitey, Damo, G-Man, and special guest Dan break down the movie's unforgettable moments, from the iconic opening sequence in the French countryside to the explosive showdown in Shoshanna's Parisian cinema.The crew dives deep into the brilliance of Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa, the “Jew Hunter” whose multilingual charm and chilling brutality won him an Academy Award. Whitey recounts his jaw-dropping experience attending the Inglourious Basterds premiere at the State Theatre in Sydney, where he not only watched the film in stunning 70mm but bumped into Tarantino himself, earning a nod and a “Thanks, mate” from the director. It's a full-circle fanboy moment that the crew can't help but roast him for.Damo, true to form, is sceptical of the film's pacing and violence, admitting that it took him three separate tries to get through it. He hilariously recalls turning it off twice during the Bear Jew scene — the sound of the bat making contact just too much to handle. Meanwhile, G-Man shines with trivia gold, revealing Tarantino's decade-long script process and the last-minute discovery of Christoph Waltz, who stole the role from Leonardo DiCaprio. His ability to seamlessly switch between German, French, Italian, and English during his audition left Tarantino and producer Lawrence Bender high-fiving in disbelief.The team also dissects the infamous basement bar scene — a masterclass in tension and dialogue that only Tarantino could deliver. Michael Fassbender's suave but doomed performance as Lieutenant Archie Hicox gets high praise, while Damo can't help but admire his old-timey English gentleman look. Whitey and Dan debate whether this is the best opening scene of all time, putting it up against classics like Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Dark Knight.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without a deep dive. Damo declares the movie a “masterpiece of tension,” while G-Man drops the trivia bomb that Tarantino nearly abandoned the script after failing to find the right actor for Landa. It wasn't until Waltz walked in and blew them away with his quad-lingual performance that the movie finally came together.IN THIS EPISODE:Quentin Tarantino's mastery of dialogue and pacingBrad Pitt's Southern drawl and why Aldo Raine might be his coolest roleChristoph Waltz's Oscar-winning turn as Hans LandaWhy the basement bar scene is Tarantino at his bestWhitey's surreal run-in with Tarantino after the Sydney premiereInglourious Basterds is the movie where history gets rewritten, Nazis get what's coming to them, and Tarantino crafts his most ambitious narrative yet. It's violent, sharp, and endlessly quotable.

In a galaxy not so far from nostalgia, the Born to Watch crew rounds out the trilogy that changed cinema forever with our Return of the Jedi (1983) Review. It's May the Fourth, and there's no better time to jump back into the world of Ewoks, green lightsabers, and the worst security system in the galaxy.This week, Whitey, G-Man, and Damo dissect the final chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy, the movie that gave us a fully-formed Jedi Luke, Jabba the Hutt in all his slobbery glory, and Leia in the most iconic gold bikini of all time. But this isn't just a victory lap for George Lucas. It's a breakdown of when blockbuster storytelling meets merchandising mayhem.From Jabba's Palace to the forests of Endor, the boys revisit every major beat and plenty of forgotten moments, too. G-Man brings the pop-up book trivia. Damo relives a childhood trauma involving a pirate VHS and missing the first 40 minutes. And Whitey, as always, holds court with the kind of deep lore and dry banter only a man surrounded by Star Wars paraphernalia can muster.Naturally, there's love for the spectacle. The speeder bike chase still rips. The throne room showdown between Luke and Vader is the emotional core of the entire saga. The death of the Emperor (before he didn't die) is satisfying. And the battle on Endor? Say what you want about teddy bears with sticks, but the editing is tight and the score is pure Williams gold.But it's not all glowing lightsabers and happy rebel endings. The crew also takes aim at Return of the Jedi's weaknesses. The overcrowded special edition visuals. The musical abomination that replaced "Yub Nub." The awkward moments that suggest George Lucas might've spent a little too long designing action figures.We then fully evaluate supporting characters, acting chops, and space-worthy athleticism. Mark Hamill's skiff-running form gets roasted. Leia's suspicious fingernail choices in the bunker get noticed. And the Ewoks? Well, let's just say there was strong support for showing them feasting on stormtroopers in the final scene.IN THIS EPISODE:The "Salacious Crumbs" rating scale debutsThe guys debate whether Jedi is a true ending or a corporate compromiseHan Solo's charisma vs. the wet sponge that is Hayden ChristensenWhy Luke might be the last Jedi to actually train for the jobWhether Ewoks are underestimated warriors or just lucky teddy bearsThis is Star Wars at peak fandom, part critique, part love letter, and part therapy session for three men who've watched this film dozens of times across decades.From behind-the-scenes changes to Rotten Tomatoes rankings, from the 1983 theatrical experience to the 1997 Special Edition backlash, the Born to Watch crew digs into Return of the Jedi with reverence and razor-sharp commentary. It's loud, nerdy, and very, very fun.And yes, Salacious Crumb gets his due.LISTEN NOW on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your movie fix.Join the conversation:Does Return of the Jedi hold up or sell out?Are Ewoks criminally underrated?And who's the real MVP: Luke, Vader… or the green sabre?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and join the rebellion.#BornToWatchPodcast #ReturnOfTheJedi #StarWarsDay #EwokBattle #MayTheFourthBeWithYou #MoviePodcast #JabbaTheHutt #SalaciousCrumb #FinalTrilogy #NostalgiaCinema

This week on the True Sports Cards Show Imran and Whitey talk about breaking boxes, licensed vs unlicensed cards, pricing 1 of 1 cards and much much more!

El asesinato de James ‘Whitey’ Bulger en la cárcel en 2018 marcó el fin de una era en el crimen organizado de Boston. Una era que se remonta a la década de los 50. En los años 70, James ‘Whitey’ Bulger ascendió en las filas de la banda de Winter Hill, que dirigía gran parte de Boston. Allí, Stevie ‘The Rifleman’ Flemmi se convirtió en su socio criminal.

This week on Born to Watch, we dive into the horror landmark that changed the game: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Brutal, raw, and grimy in a way that still shocks today, this episode sees Whitey and Damo take on one of the most infamous cult classics ever made, with Morgz and Gow hilariously "noping out" after the first five minutes.Despite its terrifying reputation, the team quickly notes something surprising: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't about gore, it's about dread. Director Tobe Hooper weaponises your imagination with low-budget ingenuity, turning rural Texas into a sweat-drenched nightmare of implied violence, claustrophobia, and screaming madness.Whitey and Damo break down how the film uses its documentary-style visuals to make you feel like you're inside the nightmare. They discuss the iconic opening narration, the genius use of real animal sounds in place of a traditional soundtrack, and the deeply uncomfortable "dinner scene," which remains one of the most disturbing sequences ever filmed.The episode also explores the surprising lack of blood, the history of censorship surrounding the movie (which was banned for decades in the UK!), and why Leatherface, chainsaw-wielding, mask-wearing, and alarmingly agile, became an instant horror icon. There's serious appreciation for how Texas Chainsaw influenced Evil Dead, Seven, Pulp Fiction, and even the style of Star Wars' opening crawl.Of course, this wouldn't be Born to Watch without a few detours:Franklin and his endless whining take a brutal roasting, and deservedly so.Picking up hitchhikers is a bad move. Hitchhikers carrying photos of slaughtered cows—extra bad move."Don't go in the house, mate" becomes the ultimate horror PSA.Damo tells the all-time story of accidentally picking up hitchhikers while having "Northern Beaches Gay Board Riders" accidentally stuck to his car door.The cast of unknowns stayed unknown, most fading into cult obscurity. But the legacy of the film is undeniable, and the team argues that it might be the rawest and most authentic horror movie ever made.IN THIS EPISODE:Why a minimal budget made Texas Chainsaw even scarier.The genius of Tobe Hooper's “no soundtrack” approach.How Sally Hardesty became the prototype for the Final Girl trope.That horrifying Grandpa scene and why it still messes us up.Whether Leatherface could qualify as CrossFit's most terrifying champion.It's loud, it's grimy, it's uncomfortable, and it's a horror masterclass that still hits like a hammer to the skull.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your movie fixes!Join the conversation:Is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre the most disturbing horror film ever made?

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM! GET

With Anzac Day just around the corner, Born to Watch honours a defining moment in Australian cinema with our Gallipoli (1981) Movie Review. Directed by Peter Weir and starring a young, raw Mel Gibson alongside Mark Lee, this film is more than a war story, it's a devastating portrait of friendship, sacrifice, and the tragic cost of blind patriotism. In this episode, Whitey and G-Man revisit the classic through a lens shaped by age, memory, and national identity.From the iconic opening scenes of sprinting through the outback to the haunting stillness of the battlefield at the Neck, Gallipoli strips away the glory of war and lays bare its cruel realities. The boys waste no time diving into the emotional core of the film, mateship. Whitey and G-Man see themselves in Frank and Archie, and they hilariously debate who's who. Is Whitey the cynical Frank, or is G-Man secretly more Archie than he'll admit?But it's not just about comparisons and callbacks to high school Anzac ceremonies. This is Born to Watch at its most reflective and reverent. The guys dig into the cultural significance of Gallipoli, how the film shaped their understanding of the Anzac legacy, and why it's essential viewing for every Australian. It's also a rare episode where the crew admits that this one is hard to joke about. Except, of course, when it comes to figuring out which of their mates is most like Snowy.They talk about how Gallipoli taught them what Anzac Day should mean. Not just a day off to play two-up and hit the pub, but a moment to remember real sacrifice. The 1981 film still hits hard, they argue, because it doesn't sugarcoat the futility of war. And when that final freeze frame lands, it guts you, every time.There's admiration for director Peter Weir, whose resume includes Dead Poets Society, The Truman Show, and Master and Commander. But here, he's in peak form. Gallipoli's scale is intimate but never small; its visuals are sweeping, yet grounded in the personal. And the music? That synth track when Archie sprints across the desert? Still gives the boys goosebumps.The episode gets personal, too. Both hosts recall trying (and failing) to get their teenage kids to watch the film. They revisit childhood memories of Anzac Day school assemblies, the eerie power of “Only 19” and “Waltzing Matilda,” and the VHS that left a permanent mark. G-Man shares stories from his own pilgrimage to Gallipoli, visiting Lone Pine and The Nek and seeing firsthand the terrain that made the battle a bloodbath.As always, there's room for laughs, the mystery of Mark Lee's post-Gallipoli career, and whether it's safe to train for battle with live rounds (spoiler: probably not). But the tone stays grounded, respectful, and proud.They wrap things up with “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” highlighting Gallipoli's haunting silence, its unwavering focus on mateship, and its place in Australian cinematic history. It's not just a war film; it's a rite of passage.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Does Gallipoli still define the Anzac spirit?Is this Mel Gibson's best early performance?Have you visited the battlefield yourself?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#Gallipoli1981 #BornToWatch #GallipoliMovieReview #AnzacDay #PeterWeir #MelGibson #AustralianCinema #WarMovies #MoviePodcast #LestWeForget

The_Son_of_Whitey_King

Welcome back to Born to Watch, where this week the team tackles the endlessly rewatchable, criminally underappreciated Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Strap in as Whitey, Damo, and Dan on the Land gear up for a sci-fi action loop fest featuring Tom Cruise in one of his most against-type roles, Emily Blunt as a full-metal badass, and a time-travel plot that actually sticks the landing. Enjoy our Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Review!The boys jump right into the paradox-riddled battlefield, first marveling at how this epic blockbuster somehow bombed in the US, despite being everything a great action movie should be. They blame lousy marketing, title confusion (was it Live Die Repeat?), and the fact that in 2014, Cruise was still on Hollywood's naughty step thanks to Oprah's couch.But now? It's cult-classic gold.Whitey kicks off by calling out just how rare it is to see Cruise playing the weasel, Major Cage is an ad man thrown into combat, clueless and terrified. For Dan, this fish-out-of-water arc makes the movie shine, watching Cruise go from smug coward to unstoppable warrior. Damo agrees, even calling Edge of Tomorrow his number one Cruise performance, yep, he goes there.Emily Blunt earns unanimous praise as Rita Vrataski, the “Angel of Verdun” and all-around exosuit-slaying legend. She's fierce, stoic, and fit as hell, basically the action heroine we didn't know we needed in 2014. Her iconic push-up entrance gets a lot of airtime (and a few longing sighs), and the team agrees she holds her own, and then some, against Cruise.And what would a Born to Watch ep be without the usual blend of insight and irreverence? We get tangents on everything from duck anatomy (cloacas, anyone?) to Bill Paxton's legendary status as the only man killed by a Terminator, a Predator, and an Alien. The Paxton love is real.The pod dives into director Doug Liman's sharp visuals and crisp pacing, and shout out screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, who somehow turns a convoluted time loop premise into a tight, clever, and emotional thrill ride. Liman's resume (Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) gets the props it deserves, and there's a great sidebar on the upcoming Road House remake, complete with hot takes on Jake Gyllenhaal.As always, the “Hit, Sleeper, Dud” segment delivers, with Gone Girl getting the nod as a masterful hit, Kevin Costner's 3 Days to Kill as a solid sleeper, and Lucy (sorry, ScarJo) landing squarely in dud territory. Bonus points for Damo's vivid breakdown of Ben Affleck's infamous side-dick scene.The episode also features a glorious Cruise countdown. Each host reveals their top five Tom Cruise films, expect Jerry Maguire, Collateral, Top Gun: Maverick, and of course, Edge of Tomorrow, to make appearances. Damo even throws in Tropic Thunder, because who can forget Les Grossman?Then there's the philosophical stuff: How long was Cage actually in the time loop? (Answer: a hell of a long time). Was blackmailing the general really the best plan? (Debatable). And what's the real ending? (Whitey thinks it's Cruise's “now you're gonna bone me” smile).Oh, and voicemails are back! Listeners call in to rant about The Bodyguard, praise the pod's Whitney Houston renditions, and drop the occasional F-bomb. Classic Born to Watch fan energy.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Edge of Tomorrow Cruise's most underrated film? Would you waste 300 time loops trying to get with Emily Blunt? Did this movie deserve to flop—or is it a misunderstood masterpiece?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#BornToWatch #EdgeOfTomorrow #TomCruise #EmilyBlunt #MoviePodcast #SciFiMovies #DougLiman #TimeLoopMovies #LiveDieRepeat #FilmDiscussion #UnderratedGems #CinephileApproved

Grab your whip and avoid the monkey brains—this week on Born to Watch, the crew takes on the franchise's wildest, weirdest, and arguably most chaotic chapter, with their Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Review. Whitey, G-Man, and Damo dust off their fedoras and dive deep into the darker, more divisive entry in the iconic adventure trilogy.Released in 1984 as a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom was Spielberg and Lucas swinging for something different. What we got was a rollercoaster of tonal shifts, gruesome rituals, screeching sidekicks, and a whole lot of “did that really just happen?” moments. And the Born to Watch crew has a lot to say about it.Whitey opens the show by calling it what it is: a movie that's revered by many, but doesn't quite measure up to the gold standard set by Raiders. For kids of the '80s, it was a VHS staple. But for grown-up podcasters with opinions, it's a tale of two movies—one part rollercoaster fun, one part tonal mess. From the moment Harrison Ford steps off a plane in Shanghai to the heart-ripping Thuggie cult shenanigans in India, the guys unpack every whip crack, every scream, and every questionable creative choice.G-Man shares fond memories of collecting Indiana Jones memorabilia, like those glossy movie programs you'd snag at the cinema. But the nostalgia doesn't blind him—he's quick to call out the film's many plot holes, caricature characters, and some of the worst romantic chemistry in cinematic history. Damo agrees, rating the film a humble “three rewatches” compared to the endless love he has for Raiders. Ouch.And then there's Willie Scott, the club singer-turned-sidekick played by Kate Capshaw (and Spielberg's future wife). The team doesn't hold back on their verdict: screechy, underwritten, and possibly cinema's most annoying scream queen. Compared to Raiders' Marion Ravenwood, she's less “badass adventurer” and more “horny showgirl with a death wish.”But not everything is doom and gloom in Temple of Doom. The pod shines a spotlight on Short Round (Ke Huy Quan), the pint-sized sidekick who stole hearts, especially among the younger viewers. Isabelle, Whitey's daughter, gives him two thumbs up. G-Man draws comparisons to The Goonies and even Star Wars, noting that Lucas may have repurposed some beats from Empire and Return of the Jedi. The mine cart chase? Pure Endor energy. Harrison Ford's smug bedroom banter? Total Han Solo.In classic Born to Watch fashion, the boys rip into the absurdities: Why does Indy carry a full suit in his rucksack? Is a flaming skewer to the gut a valid weapon choice? And what kind of club plays “Anything Goes” on repeat, in both English and Mandarin? These are the real questions.The episode also digs into the bizarre dinner scene at Pankot Palace (chilled monkey brains, anyone?), the film's unexpected legacy in helping create the PG-13 rating, and whether George Lucas' fingerprints are a little too all over this one.And of course, they wrap up with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, featuring killer one-liners, Harrison Ford's bad punches, and enough sound effects to make you think you're in a Looney Tunes war zone. There's even a surprise cameo by Dan Aykroyd (yep, that actually happened) and a nostalgic tribute to Val Kilmer and Top Secret.By the end, one thing is clear: Temple of Doom is the middle child of the original Indiana Jones trilogy. Darker than Raiders, sillier than Last Crusade, and a cult classic in its own right. Whether it's a hit, a dud, or a chaotic blend of both, this episode is a wild ride from start to finish.

This week, the team takes on one of the biggest cinematic phenomena of the early '90s: The Bodyguard (1992). A film that smashed box office records, made slow dancing cool again, and somehow convinced us that a love story between a moody security expert and a petulant pop diva was cinema gold. On paper, this had it all: the biggest male movie star in the world, Kevin Costner and the most powerful voice on the planet, Whitney Houston, in her film debut. But does that combo equal instant classic, or is it just a glittery dumpster fire covered in hit singles?Whitey dives headfirst into the spectacle with a hard truth: this movie takes itself way too seriously. We're talking Oscar-level intensity… for what is essentially a Lifetime movie with a better budget. Of course, there's reverence for Costner—because who doesn't love a bit of 1990s mullet-lite Kev, fresh off Robin Hood, JFK, and Dances with Wolves? But even the biggest Costner fans on the panel can't deny that Frank Farmer spends the entire film doing his best impression of an emotionally constipated mannequin.Meanwhile, G-Man marvels at the soundtrack that saved the film from mediocrity. From “I Have Nothing” to the megaton that is “I Will Always Love You,” Houston's vocals are nothing short of breathtaking—and in the end, her voice gives the film its emotional punch. Damo finds himself emotionally moved by the final scene, where the music hits and we remember just how incredible Whitney was. Unfortunately, her performance as Rachel Marron doesn't land quite as well with the crew. Plot holes? Yep, we got ‘em. From inexplicable security failures (three guards for the world's biggest star?) to the mind-boggling moment where a would-be assassin uses a sniper rifle in a room full of Hollywood elites, the film is more Swiss cheese than suspense thriller. Not to mention the infamous scarf-on-the-sword scene, which leads the team to ponder whether a katana counts as foreplay and why no one, ever, draws a curtain in this movie.But The Bodyguard (1992) isn't without its joys. There's the epic needle drops, a lakeside cabin that Damo would happily disappear to forever, and a cast of cartoonishly awful background characters that you're almost rooting for the stalker. The guys also take a detour through Costner's post-Bodyguard career trajectory, which includes Waterworld, The Postman, and the underrated Draft Day.G-Man delivers his signature deep-dive into cast trivia, highlighting everything from Whitney's early gospel roots to her connection with Dionne Warwick, and even a surprise one-degree link to Kurt Russell via the late great Bill Cobbs. There's a healthy debate about whether The Bodyguard was a real movie or just a high-gloss showcase for a chart-topping soundtrack, and somehow, they still manage to rope in Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, Inspector Gadget, and the concept of "vabbing" (yep, it's a thing now).Of course, no episode is complete without the Born to Watch signature segments. The boys dish up their Good, the Bad, and the Ugly—from the iconic knife throw scene and amazing set design, to the complete lack of chemistry between the leads and questionable career choices made by everyone involved. Gage Roads supplies the brews, and Johnny Bull returns with a zinger straight outta Aliens. Oh, and Work Experience Kid cops some heat for trying to bring up brassieres in the Snob's Report. Rookie move.So, was The Bodyguard (1992) a misunderstood masterpiece, or a pop-cultural relic best left in the '90s CD rack? There's only one way to find out. Plug in, turn up the volume, and get ready for the most musically dramatic episode Born to Watch has ever done.

The Foul Hooked Whitey and Brandon Booty return with Part 2 of “What's Your Fly Fishing Orgasm”…..#flyfishing#eastrosebudthermop2025#eastrosebud2025#eastrosebudflyandtackle

In this emotionally charged episode of Born to Watch, the team marches into the searing heat and moral quagmire of Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986), a film that's arguably the definitive Vietnam War movie of its era. Whitey, G-Man, and the V8 Interrupter Dan revisit the battlefield with a mix of reverence, nostalgia, and hard truths, dissecting the film's impact, legacy, and the deep emotional chord it struck back in the day—and still does today.Kicking off with stories of their first encounters with Platoon, the guys quickly descend into one of their most layered and personal discussions to date. Whitey recalls being told by his dad he wasn't allowed to watch the film—despite already seeing Apocalypse Now and Mad Max at age six. That rebellious spark only deepened his bond with the movie once he finally got his hands on it as a teen. Dan admits to cheating on the crew, watching Platoon with his war-obsessed neighbours back in the ‘80s, completely unaware at the time of the deeper commentary Stone was laying down. For G-Man, Platoon was a rite of passage during his VHS-rented youth, watched on loop like a war-soaked mixtape.But the nostalgia is tempered with fresh eyes. This time around, Platoon hits different. What once felt like badass war action now reveals itself as a gut-punching meditation on morality, survival, and the breakdown of innocence. The guys explore the duality of the film's core—the Elias vs. Barnes dichotomy—representing each soldier's internal war. It's not just America vs. the Viet Cong; it's soul vs. savagery, duty vs. darkness.The cast? Stacked. And not just with stars—but future legends. Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe snagged Oscar nods for roles that flipped their usual screen personas. Charlie Sheen's Chris Taylor acts as the audience's moral compass, thrust into a world of chaos with no road map. And in the wings, you catch early glimpses of Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Dillon, and even a scene-stealing John C. McGinley. The Born to Watch crew marvel at the rawness and authenticity that pulses through every frame—helped in no small part by the film's unique decision to shoot in sequence, letting the emotional weight build naturally.And then there's the man behind the camera: Oliver Stone. A real-life Vietnam vet, Stone channelled his firsthand experience into a script that didn't just depict war—it unpacked it, exposed it, and dared to say that sometimes, the worst of humanity wears your own uniform. The pod digs into how Stone's commitment to realism (aided by military advisor Dale Dye, another vet) shaped everything from the dialogue to the weight of each bullet fired.There's the usual Born to Watch flavor too—G-Man's got the box office and awards rundown (hello, Best Picture and Best Director at the ‘87 Oscars), while Dan goes on a bandana-fueled tangent and questions whether Lieutenant Wolfe might be cinema's most inept officer. Whitey can't resist diving into the musical legacy, from that haunting Samuel Barber theme to how the soundtrack now echoes the trauma and tragedy of a generation.Of course, it wouldn't be Born to Watch without Listen to This, Voicemail Roulette (shoutout to “Will the Worky”), and the always-fun “Hit, Sleeper, Dud” segment, where Heartbreak Ridge, Extreme Prejudice, and King Kong Lives get their moment in the spotlight—or the firing line.By the end, the question looms large: Platoon or Apocalypse Now? Each host makes their case in what might be the pod's most respectful debate yet. As G-Man puts it, Platoon is about the war within, while Apocalypse Now is a descent into madness. Either way, both films leave an indelible mark—and so does this episode.So strap in, pop smoke, and join the squad as Born to Watch heads into the heart of darkness with Platoon. This one's for the grunts, the film buffs, and anyone who ever got lost in the jungle of morality and memory.
