It wasn’t decided until the very last minute but Lee will be watching the movie Return to Me next week with Midnight Movie Club friend Jeff.

It just scrapes in the ten year mark being released in April 2000.

No Dan this week and also no embedded trailer because for some reason a certain film studio doesn’t allow embedding of a 20 year old film trailer because it might encourage someone to seek out the film…

• Matt from Culture Kills drops off a couple of things to say
• Lee’s first time watching the film (huge and massive thanks to SG3)
• It was really hard to classify – science fiction??
• It’s a lot shorter this week as well which is always a bonus

Next week’s move is a mystery… maybe Lee’s open to suggestion…

Hi guys,

It’s Lee here with a little bit of a departure from our regularly scheduled programming, if you’ve arrived on the home page looking for the latest podcast it’s the previous post.

Dan and I have been having a discussion regarding the level of swearing in the Midnight Movie Club and whilst Dan and I only do the podcast because it is neat to meet up online once a week and talk about a film that we’ve probably seen 100 times before we do care about what you the listeners think as well.

Now you may have read on Twitter that things did not go so well with The Monster Squad podcast.  Mostly because the film serves as a reminder that we’re getting old and some films that we treasured as youth do not hold up particularly well and that’s disappointing and can top off an already less than remarkable week.

I only say this to put the podcast that you guys won’t get to hear until next week into context when I say that I use the F word a total of 47 times.  Clearly this is too many times.  I’m not effing Gordon Ramsey.  But I was having a bad day and swearing enters my vocabulary when I’m ruffled.

So obviously as mentioned 47 times is going over the top but it did highlight for us a question we have and that is whether or not we should be a ‘clean’ podcast or not.  Reality of the situation is that we both swear, but we are also able to conduct conversations in our day to day lives that don’t include swearing, so it’s more than possible.

My own opinion and I hope Dan will either add his to the end of this or in the comments is that one or two swear words are fine, it’s how I talk but it also means that you probably can’t listen to it around your kids.  But with that said I’m also more than happy to be censored or bleeped out.

I guess what we’re looking for is a little feedback on the subject, so if you would be so kind please fill out the poll and maybe leave a comment around your own feelings on the subject – if you would like to drop us a private line that is fine too!

If you know someone who only listens to us on iTunes could you let them know about the poll!

Cheers

Lee

This week Dan goes AWOL and Lee struggles with a film that he compares to giving his extracted eyeballs a salt bath.

He’s a baby.

• Marvel as Lee struggles with the basics of the internet.
• Gasp as he refers to the star of the movie as Justin Bateman
• Stare slack jawed as he demands you leave no comments*
• Sigh in relief as a special guest pops in
• Sigh in disappointment when he leaves again
• Wonder why there’s a huge pause at the start (Lee is)…

Now next week should appeal slightly more to Lee’s delicate tastes: The Monster Squad

*Please note that Lee’s opinions on discussing this movie in the comments does not reflect the policy or opinions of The Midnight Movie Club or that guy down the street who collects plastic bags and yells at the kids as they walk by. Please discuss away.

Directed by Thomas Schlamme
Starring: Mike Myers, Nancy Travis and Anthony LaPaglia

Apparently Dan felt that the swearing in the podcast has reached an unacceptable high and whilst he may be correct you won’t have to worry because we have our all new, all dancing swear noise!  You can only hear it by listening to the podcast and it should not be missed.

Also hear the boys talk about:

• the eagerly awaited Three men and a baby sequel
• confusing this film with a popular Batman PS3 game
• Lee’s poor jokes requiring explanation
• Dan doesn’t know where the line “I like the night life, I like to boogie” comes from
• and for what seems to be a completely random reason the Staypuft Marshmallow Man
