Network vs The Blues Brothers

The Mummy (1999) vs Raiders of the Lost Ark

Absolutely. I've never heard of there being a racial furore for the animated Aladdin movie (moreso the live action film having a white guy involved), but Mulan's a good shout. Also the gypsies in Hunchback of Notre Dame and whether the film got the balance right. And if you think Hercules looks Greek in the slightest....

Paddington vs School of Rock

Yeah, Christian pulled me up on that too. Still, in the words of Meatloaf, 2 outta 3 ain't bad!

Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 89, our subject will be Drew Barrymore. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review by 18 June 2022 so get your ideas in before then!

Very good episode - loved both the music placement and the trivia!

Paths of Glory vs The Muppet Movie

Muppet Treasure Island vs Titanic

Who gives a flying fuck what Ian Levine thinks?

Googled Half Nelson - found out it's a Glen A Larson show..... I'm sure Dave & I would have a ball with that Robin Hood show, but we'd need to find it first.

I saw @Dread in here and was worried he'd be bringing up Kubrick....

Listened! Very good discussion of the film; the only constructive criticism I'd offer up may be slightly shorter clips used - in part because Disney might be litigious on that aspect (our circulation notwithstanding), and in part because there's no reason to pad out a runtime unless clips act as definitive bookmarks. I don't want this to sound harsh as there's only 2-3 clips used between the opening theme music and the closing song, but the Queen's death scene and the closing song has 10 seconds of speech before the latter starts up and the former ends. Looking forward to Pinocchio!

Well done to getting this off the ground, Christian - a new Earth-2 podcast is always an exciting time! Will listen in when I can - I have guests - but as you have an obvious rapport with your sister, I'm sure Episode 1 will stick the landing better than most!

Ohhh, that one!! Good call!

Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 88, our subject will be Bruce Willis. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review by 21 May 2022 so get your ideas in before then! NB) We will not be covering North, Armageddon or The Expendables.

At my end, the UK's inflation/costs rocketing boom is going to make June unlikely for me, but I'm not opposed to the concept of meeting up in Chicago at some point. Unhelpfully, I can't say when though.

I absolutely was!

Now there's a cowinky-dink.... Also, I understand Cowinky-dink to be a popular song from a Canadian kids show of your vintage, Mr Doomsday!

And Dunston Checks In *doesn't*?!?

Titanic vs Dunston Checks In Titanic vs Eyes Wide Shut

Dr Strangelove vs The Blues Brothers

Go onnnnnnnnnn.......
