Huge week this week for the club, big movie and our first competition (see below)!!
If this is your first time visiting the Midnight Movie Club then may I suggest that you check out the About Us page (remembering that those are ridiculously old photos and Lee no longer has a moustache… Dan does still walk around carrying butter knives like that though!?).
Highlights this week:
Fair warning Lee says the F word three times (possibly four… maybe five… mmmm six?) and Dan says it once.
The shortest synopsis yet!
Dan brings up the soundtrack for a change.
The icon of the Orca
Lee and Dan’s favourite scenes.
Dan loves Hooper, Lee loves Brody… lots of man love.
Like us and leave a comment on our Facebook wall: Leave a review on iTunes (and let us know in the comments).
Lee and Dan will write everyone’s name down on tickets and draw them out of a hat on the 10/9/2010 (Australian time) -- they’ll probably announce the winner on the site and on Twitter and Facebook…
Next week the boys are going all country and watching Young Guns 2!
Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go… and not watch Jaws this week.
That’s right Lee said he didn’t feel like watching Jaws and Dan folded like a cheap cards table and so they decided a ramble in the Bronx (do you see what I did there?) was what was called for. If you follow the Facebook page or on Twitter you probably saw the call out for questions already. Well now behold the answers!!!
Listen as Lee and Dan talk:
buddy films
Hot Fuzz vs Shaun of the Dead
hovercrafts (really! there’s more!)
movies that they haven’t seen but are going to watch
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

Dan says something controversial about The Princess Bride
Does anyone know how long Bastian is in the school reading??!?
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
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
