  • Episode 53: Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)
    May 4 2026

    This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, the full crew is back and heading to a galaxy far, far away as we revisit the legendary Star Wars: A New Hope. Paul, Scott, and Rob are joined by friend of the show Emile “I am Your Father” Constable for an epic deep dive into the film that changed cinema forever.

    We go back to where it all began — from Luke Skywalker’s humble life on Tatooine to the daring assault on the Death Star. Along the way, we break down iconic moments like the Mos Eisley cantina, Obi-Wan’s wisdom, Han Solo’s swagger, and Darth Vader’s unforgettable presence.

    The team explore how George Lucas blended mythic storytelling with groundbreaking visual effects to create a universe that has stood the test of time. We also discuss John Williams’ legendary score, the film’s cultural impact, and why A New Hope still captures the imagination nearly 50 years on.

    With the full lineup back together and Emile bringing plenty of energy (and questionable Vader impressions), expect laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of classic quotes.

    Punch it, Chewie — this is one episode you won’t want to miss.

  • Episode 52: Mannequin (1987)
    Apr 14 2026

    This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, things get stylishly surreal as we revisit the 80s rom-com fantasy Mannequin. With Paul and Scott both away, Rob is holding things together — thankfully joined by friend of the show Marc “Wax on, wax off” Parslow for a lively and nostalgic deep dive.

    We explore the quirky tale of Jonathan Switcher, a struggling artist who finds love in the most unexpected way… with a department store mannequin who comes to life. From Andrew McCarthy’s earnest charm to Kim Cattrall’s iconic performance as Emmy, we break down what makes this film such a unique entry in 80s cinema.

    Of course, no Mannequin discussion would be complete without celebrating Hollywood Montrose — Meshach Taylor’s scene-stealing performance — and that unforgettable Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now soundtrack moment that defined a generation.

  • Episode 51: Innerspace (1987)
    Mar 22 2026

    This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, the dream team is finally back together as Scott returns to join Paul and Rob for a deep dive into the wildly inventive 80s sci-fi comedy Innerspace (1987). With the full crew reunited, expect plenty of laughs, nostalgic banter, and a proper celebration of one of the decade’s most unique adventures.

    We shrink down and explore the story of hotshot pilot Tuck Pendleton, accidentally injected into hypochondriac supermarket clerk Jack Putter, and the chaos that follows. From Dennis Quaid’s swagger to Martin Short’s brilliant comedic performance, we break down what makes this film such a perfect blend of action, comedy, and cutting-edge visual effects for its time.

    We also dig into the film’s groundbreaking practical effects, its place in the Amblin-style era of filmmaking, and why Innerspace still feels fresh and fun today. Plus, with Scott back in the chair, the chemistry is firing on all cylinders as the guys revisit favourite scenes, quotes, and behind-the-scenes trivia.

    So buckle up, miniaturise yourself, and join us for a hilarious and heartfelt trip inside one of the 80s’ most underrated classics.
