Alright Ramblers, let's get rambling!

  • EP#191: Big 1988
    Sep 8 2026

    In this episode, Charlie and George are talking about one of the 1980s biggest (pun intended) and most beloved comedies, it's Big with Tom Hanks!

    A key film in Hank's career, as well as director Penny Marshall who would become the first female director to make over $100m at the box office. There's some interesting behind the scenes trivia including crazy casting, a custom giant piano and controversial love stories. Also includes George saying "Robert Loggia" a lot.

  • EP#186 - Supergirl 1984
    Jul 2 2026

    Charlie and George have found themselves trapped in The Phantom Zone as they revisit the cult curiosity that is Supergirl!

    As we see a new take on the superhero currently in cinemas, the brothers look back at the first big-screen attempt, which, unsurprisingly, had a few production challenges along the way. An absent Superman, extensive rewrites, an eclectic cast and last-minute distributor issues are just a few things under discussion.

    For additional Super-podding on the Christopher Reeve era, check out our Superman 1 & 2 special "zodcast" in episode 108!

  • EP#185-Young Guns Double Barrelled
    May 31 2026
    Charlie and George mount up for a double (barrelled) bill of Young Guns and Young Guns 2: Blaze of Glory! The brothers discuss how these films injected a heavy dose of brat-pack swagger into the classic Western genre. The hosts break down Emilio Estevez's wild performance as Billy the Kid, with solid support from Kiefer Sutherland and Lou Diamond Philips. There's also General Zod vs Carl Grissom. The sequel gains Christian Slater and a Bon Jovi soundtrack, but is it a worthy follow up? Tune in to find out! Enjoy and please share!

  • EP#183-ConanTheBarbarian
    Apr 27 2026

    In this episode Charlie and George find themselves in the brutal Hyborian Age to revisit Conan the Barbarian! But they're not alone in this mythic quest; they're joined by special guest Dr. Tomas Rawlings, who brings an extensive knowledge of Conan canon!

    These three brave pod-warriors explore the literary origins of Conan (arguably starting the fantasy genre as we now know it), the film's production challenges and the casting of one Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his breakout role.

    With a character that's almost 100 years old, there's a lot to discuss in Suspicious Spin Offs, as well as the usual alternative casting in Coulda Woulda Shoulda and only a smattering of Arnie impressions.

    Tomas can be found on Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/tomasrawlings.bsky.social

    Further reading - Some Tomas' amazing Conan research that he touches on can be found here - https://exploringwarhammer.substack.com/p/conan

    Enjoy, please share with like-minded fans of retro movies!

  • EP#181-The Specialist
    Apr 3 2026

    Charlie and George are off to mid-90s Miami, getting hot and sweaty in the explosive and (not so) erotic action movie, The Specialist!

    There's a lot to unpack - Stallone and Stone's desperate search for chemistry, James Wood's acting in overdrive, Rod Steiger offending all of Latin America with that accent and Eric Roberts' amazing wardrobe - just wow. Oh, there's also John Barry on the soundtrack with some James Bond B-sides.

    There's all the usual alternative casting and directors, deleted scenes and bad impressions.
