The Midnight Movie Club

I don't wish to alarm anyone but it appears that Lee and Dan have turned out another completely coherent, thought out, on topic and hovercraft free podcast. I know. I'm scared too... The highlights: A hard film to explain to people what's it's about (well for Lee anyway) Who's read the actual book? Lee and Dan explore their memories attached to this story and reading in general Mourning lost childhoods Dan mocks Lee for reading Doom novels The library is out to get Dan The effectiveness of the absence of music Dan assures us he wrote a very good blog post regarding X and Y generations Lee calls all other movie podcasters lazy bastards It's okay not to be cool Artax!!!!!! All twenty-year-olds are arseholes Puppets are freaking awesome! Sometimes authors are a little precious Things get deep Don't give up your childlike wonder The parallels to The Princess Bride Dan says something controversial about The Princess Bride Does anyone know how long Bastian is in the school reading??!? Lee now actually does have an iPad Guests Lee's [rating:10/10] Dan's [rating:9/10] Next week Dan and Lee are watching Die Hard: With A Vengeance! And just for everyone who wants it: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3khTntOxX-k

This week Lee and Dan visit the dystopian future of the Sylvester Stallone film Demolition Man and for once turn out a podcast that feels semi polished and professional.  It may have more to do with Dan's editing or perhaps Lee's ban on hovercraft shopping for the 60 minutes or so it took to record. The highlights: the most justifiably complex synopsis yet Sandra Bullock wears tight pants in this and Dan is the sexist one apologies for past sins (hovercrafts are mentioned) Lee has seen the future and is unimpressed Dan agrees. There is actually some intelligent discussion regarding futuristic settings Where the hell was Al Leong?!! There is a lot of discussion around some of the more sizeable plot holes Does the three sea shell joke still work? Hand towels can be icky... Dan talks fire and ice A note from Lee... There is some mention of a video in the podcast and unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances there is no video however it would have been hilarious and would have involved me making a cup of tea illustrating my apathy towards Demolition Man. Regards Lee Dan's [rating:6/10] Lee's [rating:5/10] Next week Dan and Lee are watching The Neverending Story, cue the music...

This week Dan and Lee go to the world of Kung Fu and hovercrafts in Rumble in the Bronx.  The warning is that they talk about the movie for about ten minutes and then discuss hovercrafts for what feels like hours. Enjoy! Dan discusses the definition of art Lee is confused about wallflowers at singles dances Rumble in the podcast!! Lee delivers potentially the worst synopsis yet There is a subtle reference to hovercrafts Dan's mixed heritage is revealed Housewife corner with Lee and Dan Rats ate Lee's jacket Crappy dialogue There is an audio clip missing which may show up somewhere else during the podcast - try and work out where as I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Dan doesn't need a big television Racism raises it's ugly head again Brotherhood of the Wolf is awesome! The lack of cushions Jackie Chan lays some truth on the bad guys Another subtle reference to hovercrafts Dan turns to Wikipedia Lee turns to Amazon... Dan hates Bruce Lee Jackie Chan is a classy dude Radioactive beer man!! It's a Jackie Chan love-in! More tiny references to hovercrafts Buying a hovercraft!!! More hovercraft related information The hovercraft malarkey continues... Chickens and the demise of Dan's second favourite Dan and Lee eventually go back to talking about Rumble in the Bronx The cup of tea test is back!! Lee was wrong twice but you shouldn't blame the Coen Brothers The worst Amazon pitch you'll ever hear Dan and Lee finish on an in-depth discussion of Sylvester Stallone's buttocks. Well actually they end on how Lee still hasn't finished Dan's new header image (but there are blueprints!!) Next week Demolition Man!!
