Tristan + Greg are a couple of 90s kids, on a mission to re-watch every movie that meant something from their childhood. Each episode they review a 'classic' film from the 80s or 90s, and determine how it stacks up in the modern era. We use the term classic very loosely.

Skip carousel

The Goonies (Richard Donner, 1985): 114 - it’s The Goonies! And Tristan had never seen it before! So yes, we cover all the usual stops, but Tristan never saw The Goonies growing up! WILD! A lot to unpack. by Double Impact
78 min listen
Beetlejuice (1988) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. Batman and Beetlejuice have always been a pair in some respects - they came out a year apart from the creative minds and actions of Tim Burton & Michael Keaton - it just makes sense! by Double Impact
76 min listen
Trainspotting (Danny Boyle, 1996): 135 - Big movie week, guys. Danny Boyle, Ewan McGregor, Scotland, EMOTIONAL TRAUMA - it's Trainspotting! This is a pretty big one for a lot of us who reach teens by the mid-90s. Not Tristan though, he had never seen it before. Shame on Tristan. As you'd expect we go deeeeeep, and when it's a movie like this, it can get a little dark - so don't worry, we even it out with talk of Crochet and Steve Irwin. Stay safe team! by Double Impact

License to Drive with Jerah Milligan: 129 - We are back in peak 80s teen aesthetic this week with 1988's License to Drive. But even more importantly, we have Jerah Milligan with us on the pod to help us break down this bad boy. From the Coreys, to... many things... truth is, we go off on a few tangents on this one, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. You can find more Jerah on his podcast Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] by Double Impact
81 min listen
Mortal Kombat (Paul WS Anderson, 1995) by Double Impact
87 min listen
Gone in 60 Seconds (Dominic Sena, 2000): 113 - We are back in the wacky world of Nicolas Cage this week, with 2000's Gone in 60 Seconds. We know we primarily look at 80s and 90s movies, but it was over 20 years ago so waddyawant? Is this movie an undervalued Fast & Furious ancestor? Or an outdated trope-mobile set to Moby and The Chemical Brothers? This is the central question. But orbiting this central question are other questions. More questions. So many questions. So join us as we pull apart this 2000s Cage vehicle like a poorly qualified mechanic that looks like Giovani Ribisi. by Double Impact
58 min listen
Space Jam (Joe Pytka, 1996): 119 - It's the final week of May Madness, and what better finale than the utter madness that is 1995's Space Jam. Move over Ernest P. Worrell, Space Jam takes the unquestionably high-brow sub-genre of movies based on TV ads to new heights. We go from Earth, to space to Tuneland which is (apparently underneath us?) and beyond. Bill Murray is there and Charles Barkley gets real sad - WHAT A MOVIE! Join us as we dissect this time capsule of a crossover-brand experiment, and decide how it holds up in 2021. by Double Impact
81 min listen
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (James Cameron, 1991): 115 - May Madness starts NOW, and doesn't get any bigger than this one. We're talking about freaking Terminator 2, guys! Even Seymour jumps in to help out (sorry he sprinkles in some barks here and there). Together, we break down this 90s icon into all the pieces you come to expect, from origin story, plot break down, over-thinking time travel and of course, the final verdict on how this 1991 classic holds up 30 years later. (Yes, we know it's still technically April). by Double Impact

The Terminator (1984) (May Madness Re-Release) by Double Impact
69 min listen
Big (Penny Marshall, 1988): 121 - The movie that propelled Tom Hanks into the big time, as it were. It's also a movie that raises many questions in 2021. So... let's unpack it. by Double Impact
55 min listen
Cliffhanger (Renny Harlin, 1993) by Double Impact
84 min listen
The Wizard of Oz (1939) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week may seem a little left field, but the mysterious land of Oz certainly has some parallels with the mysterious land of Tune. Unconventional crew of heroes? Courage that was with them all along? You get the idea. by Double Impact
67 min listen
Maximum Risk (Ringo Lam, 1996): 120 - Well here we are. Another JCVD week. We couldn't get out hands on The Quest in time, so we are covering the next JC joint, Maximum Risk. It's probably fair to say we are in the bargain bin era of the JCVD movie journey, but not without some diamonds in the rough - will this be one? Tune in to find out! by Double Impact
60 min listen
Street Fighter (1994) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week, it was kind of a no-brainer right? What better time to compare and contrast two landmark fighting-game-movie-adaptations? by Double Impact
73 min listen
First Blood (Ted Kotcheff, 1982): 117 - May Madness continues with the film that launched a bunch of seemingly unrelated and confusingly titled sequels - First Blood. This is the go to movie for anyone that rushes to the defence of Stallone's acting ability, and they wouldn't be wrong. This film plays to all of his strengths. It's one of those rare films that is so different to the broader franchise it's a part of, that it's always worth a second look. So join us as we break this thing down from its humble origins, to rewrites upon rewrites, to the legacy it created and ultimately, how it holds up today. by Double Impact
84 min listen
Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975: 125 - We are back in lockdown here in Sydney, but the show must go on! Join us as we dive into the film that is credited with starting the modern blockbuster, 1975's Jaws. Hope all of our friends of the show that are doing it tough right now in isolation are doing ok - we love you guys! Hang in there! by Double Impact

Airplane (a.k.a Flying High, 1980) by Double Impact
73 min listen
Uncle Buck (John Hughes, 1989): 128 - Yes, we may have under-indexed on John Candy films to-date. But we are rectifying this as of now with 1989's Uncle Buck. For most people, it was either this or Home Alone that introduced them to Macauley Culkin, and according to his family, this Candy performance is the closest to the real life huggable human - so does this already make this 80s icon immortal? Tune in and find out by Double Impact
71 min listen
The Quest (Jean-Claude Van Damme, 1996) by Double Impact
75 min listen
Batman (Tim Burton, 1989): 116 - We are back for week two if MAYYYYY MADNESSS folks, and it's a biggie. The second biggest movie in the world back in 1989 (and the biggest for the US domestically), it's Tim Burton's Batman! In many ways, this thing is the exact opposite of every super hero movie trend right now, so it's a fascinating one to unpack - and unpack it we do! From origin story, plot, and everything else you come to expect from our Double Impact detective work, we go pretty gosh darn deep on this one. Hope you enjoy! by Double Impact
79 min listen
Total Recall (1990) (May Madness Re-Release): Why are we re-releasing this episode? Because it's May Madness folks! Each week of May Madness we will re-release an episode we think pairs well with the movie of the week, and conveniently place it at the top of your feed. This week, we figured that the movie that launched Carolco into the lat pack stratosphere (latosphere?), would pair extremely well with another iconic Carolco joint, Total Recall. Enjoy! by Double Impact

Gladiator (Rowdy Herrington, 1992): 134 - Ok, this is 1992's Gladiator. With Cuba Gooding Jr, not Russell Crowe. Now that that's out the way - This is the first episode in the 'Popping Tristan's Cherry' miniseries where we are diving into movies Tristan had never seen before this week. If you are one of the many, many, many people that never saw this film, it's currently streaming on Netflix. If you are one of the existing fans of this movie, you have come to the right place! by Double Impact

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Kevin Reynolds, 1991): 131 - Mullets. Various American accents. The invention of gunpowder. Solving racism. Ah yes, Robin Hood. by Double Impact
80 min listen
Heat (Michael Mann, 1995): 144 - IT'S HEAT WEEK BABY! Pacino, De Niro, Kilmer, Sizemore, Judd, Trejo, but most importantly, FICHTNER! This is a big movie, so we take our time breaking this bad boy down. The pod is the juice guys, the pod is the juice! by Double Impact
95 min listen
Kindergarten Cop with Adam Wylie: 132 - This. Movie. Is. Iconic. But we hadn't watched it in about 20 years, so the pressure was on! To add even more pressure, we've also got one of the stars from this very movie to help us break it all down - actor, magician, and TikTok extraordinaire, Adam Wylie. Adam of course gives us allllll the inside knowledge and behind the scenes scoops which make this episode, one that simply cannot be missed! by Double Impact

The Addams Family (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1991): 139 - Welcome to week TWO of our Spooky-Time Spectacular miniseries, with the iconic Addams Family. This thing has been in a constantly evolving in pop culture since it first appeared in The New Yorker back in 1938 - and this iteration is no different! Join us as we poke around and break this thing down. So much to talk about. Too much to list here. So just trust us and listen! by Double Impact

Commando (1985): 248 - We are revisiting an Arnold classic that we have technically covered before, but a) that was 5 years ago and we were total noobs, an b) we weren't watching it through the lens of LESSONS IN FATHERHOOD!
