About
It’s late on a work night.
You should be in bed, but you’re not. No, you’re working your way through the channels, bleary eyed and wondering how on earth there can be so much on without a single thing to watch.
But then you stumble across it.
A flash from your past. Just a glimpse at first, caught in your consciousness for mere seconds as your spasming remote finger whisks you off to channels new. You’ve overshot, and are now faced with a rather enthusiastic man trying to sell you a potato peeler. But all’s not lost. A quick bit of back-pedaling returns you to the sparkling jewel that captured your attention.
“Wow” you mutter under your breath “Gremlins 2! I haven’t seen this for years!”
Welcome to The Midnight Movie Club.
Club Members
Lee
In the Worlds before Lee, primal chaos reigned, heaven sought order.
But the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown…
You know, one really would have thought that Lee would have given this just a little more consideration rather than lifting lines from poorly dubbed Chinese fables. Lee is a pop-culturalist who grew up weighing everything’s worth as it related to pop culture references. He is also an aspiring illustrator and lives in Australia with his wife who is perfectly normal and reads books that do not contain robots which Lee finds odd but charming.
You can also find Lee over on his regular blog Quit Your Day Job

Dan
Part time stay-at-home dad and part time mental health nurse, Dan cut his pop culture teeth on Star Wars, DC Superheroes, and The Muppets and never saw a need to develop his tastes much further than that. He lives in Huddersfiled, England with his wife, two children, and a flock of megalomaniac chickens.

Jeff (Guest co-host)
From Jeff’s blog: Jeff is a husband, father, distance learning specialist, and geek. Many other boring labels apply equally well.

How We Roll
Originally the Midnight Movie Club started off as a collaborative blog written using Google wave. However Lee and Dan quickly realised that they were having much more fun putting together a supplemental podcast for the site, and decided to concentrate purely on audio.
Because Lee and Dan live on opposite sides of the earth they tend to only be able to get together over Skype when one has just woken up and the other is just about to go to bed. This goes some way to explain the quality of the podcast.
If you would like to become a member of The Midnight Movie Club and co-host an episode of the podcastthen please let us know. We’re always on the look out for new participants. If you’ve got the time to watch an old movie and then talk crap about it with two culturally stunted cretins then we want to hear from you. Just drop us a line at: MidMoClub@gmail.com.
Both Lee and Dan would like to point out that this is not their usual facial hair

@SingleParentDad, what other movie in existence has the fine line “you’re really in the poo now”? Good lord I remember weird crap.

Cool idea. I’ll probably read as often as I’ve been reading other blogs these days, but I like it.

@Arjan, …well, maybe blogging minor deities anyhow.

A suggestion. Let me play and we’ll do Magic with Anthony Hopkins. A true classic and probably the scariest movie ever made!

Anthony Hopkins is one of the veteran actors in Hollywood that should be given a lifetime acheivement award.*-’
