Losin’ It [1983]
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Hey gang, this week, the 3 of us are losin' it, using it, and we're abusing it... south of the borderline. Oh yeah, this week, we are looking at the greatest Tom Cruise film of all time - Losin' It.
Directed by L.A Confidential's Curtis Hanson, this mid 60's set tale, tells of Dave, Woody, Spider and Wimp (Wendell), and their goal to get into Tijuana, for both business, and especially pleasure.
Sit back with us, as one of us has an affinity for these 80's teen comedies, the other 2... well, you'll have to find out if, the last word about the first time, firms up.

Saturday Jan 14, 2023
Hey gang, we are back for the first episode of 2023 (well the first one featuring the 3 of us), to discuss the nearly 100 year old Buster Keaton classic - Sherlock Jr.
As this film was raised late last year, we decided to cover it (seeing as one of us had never seen it or a Keaton film at all).
As always, there is a myriad of tangents, the whip out your junk section returns, as does The Nes' 'RUE BRITANNIA' segment.
See ya next episode, for a Tom Cruise classic (it isn't what you think it is)

Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Hey gang, we are back after a few weeks away from the mic (no, Rob Zombie didn't put out a hit on us). On this episode, Stu and Hunter, along with returning long term guest (and good friend of ours) Garo Nigoghossian, discuss the new Kevin Smith film - Clerks III.
We discuss the film, if a part 3 (or 2 for that matter) was even needed. What things did Smith get right, and what did he get wrong. Not our longest episode, but an in depth discussion nonetheless.
We also welcome back our whip out your junk section, and as always, stick around to the end for The Nes' segment 'Rue Britannia'.
We'll be back with a new episode, sooner rather than later, one you can sink your teeth into.
Until then,

Hey gang, week 3 of Munsters Munth is here, and on this one, we look at the NBC 1981 made for TV movie The Munsters' Revenge.
Made 15 years after the first run of Munsters TV and Film properties, this one is a polarising film, some folks absolutely love it, and some loathe it. What did we think of it? Well, you'll have to find out for yourself.
There are tangents aplenty in here, also we expose an MMC favourite, who has been constantly asked about for years.
See you next week for the finale of Munsters Munth, and the four of us, FINALLY get to review, what we've been micro-analysing for the last year and a half - Rob Zombies' 'The Munsters'.

Friday Sep 16, 2022
Friday Sep 16, 2022
Hey gang, week 2 of Munsters Munth is here, and we are joined once again, by Garo Nigoghossian. So you know darn well, this episode is NSFW.
On this one, we look at the coda to The Munsters era of the 1960's - Munster, Go Home! The big screen debut of Herman, Lily, Grandpa, Eddie and Marilyn.... and oh boy is there a LOT of Marilyn in this one.
As always, there are tangents, and the usual banter about Rob Zombie too.
Warning, a couple of conversations HAD to be censored. We couldn't release it uncut, and it would have been too jarring to remove the conversation altogether.
Catch you all next week, for week 3 of Munsters Munth, where we discuss the 1981 made for TV movie - The Munsters Revenge.

The Death Of The Variety Show
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Sunday Jul 31, 2022
Hey fam, were back with another episode, and on this one, Stu and John delve into a style of television show that is sadly, long gone - The Variety Show.
We look at the variety show in general, and it's demise, whilst reviewing 2 Variety Shows, from 2 sides of the world.
First off, we head to America, and look at the excellent 'Sha Na Na' (an episode from 1979). We discuss, how an unlikely group of guys, performing Doo-Wop songs of the 50's and 60's, managed to become huge via their breakout performance at Woodstock, and of course their television show (which ran for 4 seasons by the way).
And finally we head all the way to Australia, and discuss an episode (from June 1980) of the incredibly popular 'The Don Lane Show'. For those of you unfamiliar with Don Lane (which would be a vast majority of you) fear not, Stu gives you all the info you need on him, his talent, and of course his incredible partnership with his sidekick (and closest friend) the legendary Bert Newton. We look at how a lanky New Yorker, managed to find himself a new home, in Australia, and become one of the true giants of television.
Sit back, and listen, as we discuss these fantastic couple of shows, and the lost art of the Variety Show.

Tuesday Jul 05, 2022
What's up gang? We're back with a new episode. On this one, John is absent, and Hunter is still away, so Stu enlists the help of the Nes - Anthony Nesbitt, to discuss the disturbing, and sickening crimes of one of Britains most loved entertainers - Jimmy Savile.
Be warned, this discussion gets quite graphic, as Savile's crimes are quite simply - shocking. This episode is absolutely NSFW and not safe for young people to be listening to.
Also, at the start of the episode, there is a bit of important MMC housekeeping raised for you all to digest. And, we now have a ko.fi donation page. All of that explained in the housekeeping section.

Tuesday Jun 28, 2022
Hey all, here we are, a couple of days and a missing episode later. All will be explained at the start of the show as to why this series is now only 3 episodes and not 4.

So how does 'The Magician' stack up against 'My Favourite Martian' 'The Courtship of Eddie's Father' and of course 'The Incredible Hulk'? Listen on and find out.
