The Midnight Movie Club

Grab your helmet, lawgiver and your lawmaster and bring justice to unruly masses because this week Lee and Dan are visiting the mean streets of Mega City 1 in the 1995 film adaptation of Judge Dredd. Alternatively you can simply hide within a food dispensing robot and hope it all goes away. It won't though so you might as well just give in to the punishment and listen to the podcast: Many thanks go to Matt Cavendish... no, wait... Caverstone... no, that's not right... Caverhill! That's it Caverhill! Many thanks to Matt Caverhill from the blog Culture Kills...wait, I mean cutlery for such a sterling job on both Week in Geek and Three of the Best. Thanks man. Join us next week when we'll be watching the 1993 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, Hard Target.

This week you need to get fired from your job, be married to a smart intelligent woman who can become the sole breadwinner leaving you some sort of self worth crisis because this week Dan and Lee are visiting the no man's land of stay at home parenting and watching Mr. Mom. Of course if you are a woman then just reverse the previous sentence and leave your no good man at home whilst you forge an amazing career that he will covet. Yeah we're not going to lie to you, this week's 1983 Michael Keaton comedy Mr. Mom has seen better days but Lee and Dan get quite self righteous and indignant on your behalf and the whole podcast is worth sitting through if only for the last minute so dig in and stick with it!! A big thank you goes to Ian Marshman for highlighting the deficiencies in Lee's puppet movie watching and of course being a part of this week's Three of the Best! And of course if you want to go over and torment those Geek Tragedy guys for their appalling lack of taste then you can do so here. Next week Lee and Dan are watching the 1995 comic book adaptation starring Sylvester Stallone Judge Dredd, apparently he has some knowledge of the law...

Don't look now but Walter's dog is taking another dump on your lawn! Yes that's right Lee and Dan venture out into suburbia to mix it up with the military tragics, the irresponsible teens (who are responsibly painting their house so... umm never mind) and of course the local freak fest family who never mow their lawn and only have sardines and pretzels!  The boys are watching the 1989 black comedy starring Tom Hanks "The 'Burbs". All sorts of disaster conspired against Dan and Lee in bringing the podcast to you this week but here it is! A big thanks also to John from the blog Going Gently for being part of the podcast with his Three of the Best. Next week Lee and Dan are taking a break despite advertising that they'd be talking about Mr Mom.  Be back here in two weeks where they actually will be talking about the Michael Keaton film Mr Mom!

Okay grab your pimp hat, roll up some tissue for muscles and get ready to cook some bad scrambled eggs in your undies because this week Lee and Dan are visiting the shenanigans of the 1982 Ron Howard directed comedy Night Shift.  Starring Batman, the Fonz and the first lady from Cheers this is a comedy that combines all the things that the Midmo Club love: morgues, pimps and Michael Keaton. This is of course the second film in the Michael Keaton extravaganza and it's not a bad podcast to boot.  We've got Erin from the blog The Fierce Beagle sharing her Three of the best and there's a chance Dan and Lee mock Tim Burton for a good half hour.  Sprinkle an old worn Aquaman t-shirt up for grabs and what are you waiting for?!?! Let us know the answer to the trivia question in the comments or just tell us what you thought of the movie or podcast! As always you check out the trailer on the Midnight Movie Club Facebook page so you should also pop over there and be sure to like us and share us! Join Lee and Dan next week as they watch the Tom Hanks classic The 'Burbs

Get ready to fry up some huge pancakes, threaten a vice principal, sharpen your hatchet and avoid working in your girlfriend's tyre company because Lee and Dan are watching some Uncle Buck.  Well not "some"... they're watching all of the 1989 John Hughes comedy which stars John Candy and a young (do we remember him in other way) Macaulay Culkin. Now there was some more slight problems with the synopsis book... again and Lee sacrifices his contribution to Week in Geek to bring you more words of wisdom from Wonder Woman in the workplace (or more conveniently known as WoWfWWitW).  We explore why Dan doesn't have success in his life and the mystery of herringbone. So come in, pull up a nice big comfy chair and enjoy the podcast, well tolerate it anyway (at least they're not blathering about hovercrafts) We'd also like to thank Scott from the Scifi Diner podcast on the Three of the Best segment and if you’d like to come on the show drop us a line. As always you check out the trailer on the Midnight Movie Club Facebook page so you should also pop over there and be sure to like us and share us! Join Lee and Dan next week as they watch the Michael Keaton prostitution / morgue film (how often do you get to write that?!?) Night Shift

Grease up your monkey wrench and slap on your overalls because this week Lee and Dan are donning their blue collars, rolling up their sleeves and trying their very hardest to accept that other cultures have different ways of doing things and that's okay.  Yes Dan and Lee are watching the 1986 Michael Keaton comedy Working Class Man... ummm ahem I mean Gung Ho directed by Richie Cunningham himself Mr. Ron Howard. The reason for the confusion around the name is that in Australia this film is called Working Class Man which makes no sense apart from the singer of the song Working Class Man is an Australian rocker named Jimmy Barnes and the song is featured in the end credits. Apparently the marketing department suspected that Australians will go to films in the vague hope that they'll hear the title track song at some point throughout the film. This week most of the kinks have been worked out of the extraordinarily professional segments and finally the book By the editors of Consumer Guide and Jay A Brown Rating the Movies for home video, tv, and cable New and Revised with over 3500 movies makes an appearance. If that doesn't thrill you into listening to the podcast then... ummm errrrr please listen to the podcast (Dan will be your best friend): There now, see how much better that feels, next time don't make us beg you to listen! Now you've got to make your way down to the comments and leave us some, go on, you can do it! The Midmoclub would like to thank Whit Honea for taking part in our Three of the Best segment, if you're intrigued by him then visit his site or stalk... ummm follow him on Twitter. If you'd like to be in the Three of the Best segment then just head on over to the contact us page and drop us a line! Remember too that if you want to see the trailer you can pop on over to the Midnight Movie Club Facebook page and have a watch there.  Why not throw us a like and some shares whilst there!!? Finally be back here this time next week as Lee and Dan watch the John Hughes John Candy comedy Uncle Buck!

Grab your hat, your spurs and your modified Sharps rifle that can shoot a ridiculously long distance because the Midmoclub boys are headed down to Australia as this week they watch the 1990 film Quigley Down Under featuring Tom Selleck, Laura San Giacomo and Alan Rickman and directed by Simon Wincer. An appropriate film to launch the start of the Midnight Movie Club second season as today is Australia Day in Australia and the podcast is properly debuting on the Australian based (but worldwide reaching) Lifestyle PodNetwork.  All the new jingles are in place and have been tested to highest levels of safety tolerances and the new segments are all running smoothly... Well most of them. Would you believe some of them? Well anyway we can't wait to hear what you think of the new sounding show so grab yourself some Vegemite, push the kangaroos aside, *insert your favorite Australian stereotype* and take a listen to the podcast: So don't leave it there!  Let us know what you thought in the comments. We'd like to thank Rich Bassinder for being our first guest on the Three of the Best segment and if you'd also like to come on the show drop us a line. Now you might have noticed that we haven't included the trailer here and that's because we're now featuring them on the Midnight Movie Club Facebook page so you should also pop over there and be sure to like us and share us! Join Lee and Dan next week as they watch the Michael Keaton auto industry film Gung Ho!

What do cowboys, vampires, Michael Keaton, giant pancakes, more vampires, judges and the Klopeks all have in common!?! Well whilst Dan has been pursuing his dreams of rock and roll and Lee has been mulling over the effect commercialism will have on the purity of books like Twilight you guys have been left without anything to listen to on a Wednesday.  We know it's been tough but it's nearly over. To tide you over for the long seven days in front of you before their triumphant return Lee and Dan have at least recorded a Season Two trailer that will go down in history as the greatest Midnight Movie Club trailer for season two of their podcast ever.  I know this is a big call but you should judge for yourself: OMG!!!!  Isn't it amazing!?! Did you guess any of the films?  Claim them and your glory in the comments!! Remember to come back next week for the all new and exciting Midnight Movie Club which is now a member of the Lifestyle PodNetwork and available in addition to many other fine podcasts through the Lifestyle PodNetwork iPhone app (we're told Android and others are coming)!! And if you can't hang on, if you are so desperate to hear Lee and Dan's voice then you can hear Dan the media tart on the podcast Waffle On About Laurel & Hardy and Lee's voice by calling 040... hang on (O_0)

Well looky what we've got here, an all new look for the Midnight Movie Club! This is really a precursor to the new season coming up where we'll have all new... um old movies, all new segments... new except for the ones we already do and are keeping... umm look it's going to be new and awesome. But that's next season and we've still got this season to deal with! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ceegnWSENQ This week Lee and Dan are watching the Arnold Schwarzenegger science fiction action film The Running Man (1987).  Does the film stand the test of time?  Is there some sort of social commentary that can be taken from this? Does Lee say favourable things about Batman and Robin??  Listen to the podcast to find out!! So what did you think of The Running Man?  Remember to answer the poll (right over there on the sidebar!) and leave a comment! Next week: Lee and Dan are taking a nap, they'll be back in a couple of weeks with the all new Midnight Movie Club Season 2!!

The boys may have reached a new low. Lee is not talking to Dan because he chose this film. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDwEXXdiscQ Go on listen to the podcast, you know you're curious, Lee and Dan are not endorsing watching this film. At all. Have you actually seen Police Academy 7 - you really need to share your thoughts in the comments!!! Next week Dan and Lee are watching The Running Man in the season finale for the Midnight Movie Club!

Merry Christmas to all ye faithful Midnight Movie Clubbers! This week Dan and Lee are joined by the Chris's (I don't know what the plural of Chris is) from the podcast Casta La Vista. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyEr8YX1cnY So is Jingle All The Way the greatest Christmas film ever or is it one horrible blow after blow against fine cinema?  Check out the podcast to find out the answers and unravel the deep layers of the Sinbad and Arnold Schwarzenegger festive romp. This was also the Midnight Movie Club's birthday! So a big thanks for everyone who has made the past year so rewarding for us doing this podcast and we look forward to another year :) Next week Lee and Dan are watching Police Academy 7 Mission to Moscow, make of that what you will. and in thanks to the Casta La Vista boys guesting on the podcast we present: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mayCvk2P4f0

Running Scared is a 2006 crime film written and directed by Wayne Kramer and released by New Line Cinema. The film stars Paul Walker... hang on a second?!? That doesn't sound like a Midnight Movie Club film!?! httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2FHICIsStg ...phew that's more like it. This week Lee and Dan are watching the most triumphant Running Scared from 1986. Did you catch the point in the podcast where Lee severely damages the space time continuum?  Or the bit that Dan puts his support behind police brutality? Next week it's a HUGE podcast as the boys celebrate Christmas and the Midnight Movie Club's birthday AND have guests from the Casta La Vista podcast!! ...oh yeah and they're watching Jingle All The Way.

Is it me, or does that feel like a fan made trailer? This week Lee and Dan watch the 1985 romantic comedy The Sure Thing directed by Rob Reiner and staring John Cusack. See if you can spot the point where Dan's massive sulk at Lee's indifference towards the film has been skillfully edited out. Next Week Lee and Dan will be watching a forgotten classic - 1986's Running Scared staring Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsNjqh1MxiQ This week Dan and Lee are joined by Ian who was very excited to be here to watch BMX Bandits! So the boys couldn't possibly turn that face away at the door, if he showed up at your place with a bag of popcorn and BMX Bandits you'd have to let him. Of course as it often happens in the Midnight Movie Club there was a little disappointment: Next week on the podcast Lee and Dan are watching one of Dan's favourite films of all time.  The Sure Thing with John Cusack. Lee's never heard of it.

When it was first suggested that the Midnight Movie Club visit the world of The Warriors, Lee was confusing this movie with West Side Story and was expecting a lot of singing and jazz hands. Dan who hadn't seen the film since he was twenty was not expecting much. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV4cgs-bPic Listen to the podcast to find out how they found it: Now there is some debate over the car at the end of the film as to whether or not it's the same car as Ecto 1. It's not. We think that it's a 1955 Cadillac Funeral Coach Superior but then we've seen other suggestions. And the Ectomobile is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor limo-style endloader combination car (ambulance conversion). So what did you think of The Warriors? Be sure to leave a comment!! Next week Lee and Dan will be visiting Lee's cultural heritage with BMX Bandits (although Lee has never seen it - how un-Australian)
