Welcome to "Going in Style: Grandpas Gone Wild (Bank Edition)"This episode, Mart and Trev are dusting off their best cardigans and reviewing Going in Style, the tale of three old boys who decide to rob a bank—because, apparently, “retirement” isn’t as exciting as it’s cracked up to be. First, we take a look at the 1979 version with George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg, whose heist strategy is basically “wing it and hope for the best.” Then, we fast forward to the 2017 remake, starring the iconic Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Arkin, (aka the Avengers of senior citizen films) where the pensioners still don’t have a clue, but now they’ve got Smartphones and Google Maps to help... sort of.

Welcome to "Ransom! 1956 vs. Ransom! 1996: Kidnapping, Crime, and How to Keep Your Cool When Your Kid’s Stuck in a Van"

This episode, Mart and Trev are getting all nostalgic and diving into a classic vs. remake showdown with Ransom! —first the 1956 version, where the only thing more thrilling than the kidnap is the 1950s fashion, then the 1996 remake, where Mel Gibson decides that “tension” means yelling at everyone within a 20-mile radius. That’s right, folks — Ransom! isn’t just a movie about getting your kid back. It’s about finding out how many different ways you can scream the word “kidnapped” without ruining your voice.

This week, Mart and Trev are tackling the two versions of Ransom!: the cool-as-a-cucumber 1956 classic starring Glenn Ford, and the 1996 remake starring Mel Gibson, who... well, let’s just say his strategy involves a lot of yelling. That’s right—one dad is a master of calm, methodical thinking, and the other is basically the human embodiment of an emotional rollercoaster. Who will win?

Spoiler alert: It’s not going to be the guy who’s trying to have a quiet conversation.

Welcome to The Deja Review, the podcast where we’ll take you on an intergalactic journey through two wildly different versions of “War of the Worlds”. One is the classic 1953 sci-fi spectacle where aliens invade Earth in slow-moving ships, and the other is the 2005 remake, where aliens invade Earth in fancy CGI tripods while Tom Cruise runs around trying to get rid of his kids, whilst in a constant state of panic like he just discovered someone stole his coffee.In this episode, we’ll explore the sci-fi classic, where Martians land in a fairly innocent way, and the remake, where they land with only slightly more laser beams, chaos, and screaming than a Rammstein concert. Get ready for the most absurd, space-age showdown as we dissect the strangely compelling and wildly inconsistent alien invasions that have shaped two very different visions of humanity's impending doom.Spoiler alert: both involve a lot of people running away from explosions and aliens who clearly didn’t take a citizenship test before invading Earth.Buckle up, folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride.Two long time friends, one podcast.

Welcome to "Robocop vs. Robo-Reboot", the podcast where we pit the original 1987 cyberpunk classic against the 2014 CGI-infused remake in a battle for sci-fi supremacy—and yes, we’ll be judging these films based on everything from their robotic crime-fighting abilities to how ridiculous they both are.

One movie features a murderous Detroit, a robot cop with a conscience, and the kind of violence that makes you question your life choices. The other? Well, it’s the 2014 remake, which somehow made Robocop look more like an iPhone with a moustache and a sombrero than a human-turned-cyborg.

Get ready for a metallic clash of 80s nostalgia and hyper-modern reboots—and a lot of awkward commentary about how we still want our cyborg cops to have more humanity and fewer Bluetooth connections.

Grab your Auto-9s and your lawsuit forms (because Robocop definitely didn’t read the fine print), we’re diving in!

The podcast where we’re diving deep into the radical world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – from the 1990 classic that made pizza a lifestyle, to the 2014 CGI-fuelled reboot that... well, let’s just say the turtles have arms that defy physics.

Join us as we toss back a slice of pizza (preferably one that’s got a huge amount of pepperoni on it, sorry Trev) and debate which version of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo truly owns the sewer.

Spoiler alert: It’s definitely not the one where they fight the Shredder with a giant metal fist… right?

Welcome to Fourteen Outlaws, Two Movies, Too Many Horses, the podcast where two films, 56 horses, and at least one dramatic standoff are compared in the most ridiculous way possible. In this episode, your lovable hosts attempt to unravel the mystery of why seven outlaws are always willing to risk it all for the little guy – and how they manage to look so dang good while doing it.

In this showdown of cinematic classics, we take a hard look at both the original Magnificent Seven (1960) and the 2016 remake – because why settle for one group of rugged cowboys when you can have two?

Welcome to Golden Ticket Showdown, the podcast where we put two candy-coated films head-to-head in a battle for supremacy: the 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory vs. Tim Burton’s 2005 reboot Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One is a whimsical musical with Oompa-Loompas who have questionable fashion choices. The other is… well, a fever dream starring Johnny Depp in possibly the most unsettling Willy Wonka performance ever recorded.

Each episode, we’ll dive into the colorful, candy-filled worlds of chocolate rivers, golden tickets, and enough questionable parenting decisions to make you question your childhood. Who's the better Wonka? Who’s the real Charlie? And, most importantly—who let the Oompa-Loompas have a solo album?
