New episode alert! This week Gavin and I are attempting the difficult task of reviewing the new Netflix buddy action film, ‘Hidden Strike’, starring the one and only Jackie Chan and wrestling superstar turned leading man John Cena. Why is it difficult you ask? Did we like the film? Did we hate the film? Well…. we have mixed feelings to say the least. If you want to know how we TRULY feel about the film, you will have to listen to find out! Don’t forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!

Jackie Chan Cinema: Hidden Strike

S1 E8 • Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
“Look man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!”

In this episode, the boys don their letterman jackets and dive headfirst into the 1984 tour-de-force that is the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. A synth-drenched ode to the sound of US top-40s radio in the 1980s punctuated by a whole tailpipe full of patented SSSM nonsense.

From the iconic and ever-present character theme of "Axel F", through to the suburban Dad anthem that is Glenn Frey’s "The Heat Is On", and the mind-blowingly catchy "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters. This album does nothing by halves and it's not one to be missed.

Beyond the music - You'll be astounded at how much weird rage Tom can conjure up towards the word "Synthwave" and you'll be delighted as Dave recounts how this film took him two steps closer to manhood via the medium of workout lycra. So get your ears ready for an aural ridealong with the boys through the sun-drenched track listing of this 80s classic.

S1 E8 • Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

We’re gonna Thelma & Louise the shiznit out of this show with our picks for Best Onscreen Duos!  That’s right, from Abbott & Costello to Matthau & Lemmon to Rick & Morty and everything in between, it’s a quasi-intelligent chat about our favorite duos from film and television. What makes a duo dynamic? Which duos are garbage? And how can we possibly cram a reasonable number of onscreen duos into one podcast without making it seem like we came utterly unprepared and instead shout out listicles? From our trio of pieholes direct to your ears, the magic unfolds like Tango & Cash at baby’s first communion… monster trucks and all!
