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.
• Lee doesn’t care about Mythbusters.
• Dan doesn’t actually read shark or whale books.
• Frankly Lee and Dan are terrified of sharks.
• Alien and Jaws.
• Stargate SG1 and Jaws.
• Giant sharks versus hovercrafts.
• There is a lot of Jaws the game talk.

The competition!!

Now for your chance to win the novels Jaws and Jaws 2 all you need to do is help us spread the word about the Midnight Movie Club --  YAY!!

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!

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
• film and dread
• Schwarzenegger
• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• self fulfilling prophecies
• films that scare them

Next week the boys promise to watch the giant shark movie!!

Next week we’re watching one of Dan’s favourite films Zulu (Lee is sceptical having never seen the film)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3DcWtkKeIY

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…

Next week Dan and Lee are watching Die Hard: With A Vengeance!

And just for everyone who wants it:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3khTntOxX-k

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
• Does the three sea shell joke still work?
• Hand towels can be icky…
• Dan talks fire and ice

A note from Lee…

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

Yes that’s right this week Lee and Dan are watching the 1984 film Gremlins which is a really hard film to classify so it’s been labelled a Science Fiction/Horror/Comedy.

Did they pass the cup of tea test?

Due to unforeseen circumstances (he couldn’t be bothered to watch the movie) Lee was absent from this podcast and dan was joined instead by Ian from Single Parent Dad and Justin from JJ Daddy-O

And also due to Dan’s complete and utter incompetency the “record” button wasn’t pressed during the hour long discussion of the film, and so all that remains is this sorry excuse for a podcast.

So this 11 minutes is all we have for you this week I’m afraid.

We promise we’ll do better next week. Maybe.

Next week it’s 1980′s classic, Flash Gordon

This week we continue to be without Dan’s. Is this possibly a new era of quality for the Midnight Movie Club because we also have 87% more Jeff’s!

• Film has a special spot in Jeff’s heart

Next week despite promises of When Harry Met Sally Lee will be flying solo and talking Field of Dreams (which he’s never seen).

This week’s midnight movie club movie appears to be a slam dunk; spaceships, explosions and giant bugs!  On paper it sounds like the perfect film for the club or is it?

• Dan makes a very exuberant greeting.
• Dan and Lee are old.

So what do you guys think?  Is Highlander dated?  Is it still awesome?  Drop us a comment!

Next week we’re watching Starship Troopers with Arjan!

So instead of Lee and Dan’s unique and pithy insights into Highlander you have to sit through Ian and Dan’s incoherent blatherings about clone movies (that’s films that were released the at the same time and which, apparently accidentally, have virtually the same plot).

Ian and Dan discuss:

• Bugs Life vs Antz
• Turner and Hooch vs K9
• Dantes Peak vs Volcano
• Finding Nemo vs A Sharks Tale
• Saving Private Ryan vs the Thin Red Line
• Independence Day vs Mars Attacks
• Madagascar vs The Wild
• Armageddon vs Deep Impact

And make sure you stay tuned to the end to hear our special surprise guest.

Next week Highlander, we promise.

There is little secret to the reception that the Monster Squad are going to get in this week’s podcast as Dan and Lee have struggled through getting something recorded, in the end the podcast is about as professional as it always is…

• Monster Squad business cards
• Advice on taking very young children to monster’s homes
• Lee only says the ‘F word’ three… maybe four times
• Iron Man toy dildos
• We refuse to refer to Arjan by his real name
• How cool can someone actually be riding a bicycle in a black leather jacket?
• How schools are teaching kids to make silver bullets in home economics now.

The Iron Man figurine dildo:

(listen to the podcast and all will be revealed)

This came with the Iron Man figurine!?

Just to illustrate it's intended purpose

Next week we are watching Highlander and it will be Lee’s very first time!!!

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!

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

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

Cheers

Lee

*washing his mouth out with soap*

As a result there is no movie per se but the boys do call Arjan up out of the blue and hilarity ensues:

• They take questions from Twitter covering topics such as:
  • Where the Wild Things Are
  • Sandra Bullock
  • What films we refused to watch the end of in anger or disgust
  • Idiocracy
  • Nightmare on Elm Street
  • Tweets that are filled with innuendo
• Lee seems to talk about robot balls for ages
• What the Dutch think of Austin Powers: Goldmember
• How to insult people in Dutch using Jurassic Park
• Lee insults Dutch people
• Dan gets scared in pretty much every film possible
• What scared Lee when he was young and probably damaged him for life
• Comic book movies
• International rating systems
• and finally what the weather was like in the Netherlands

We would like to thank everyone on Twitter who took part:

• @voodoorabbit
• @LaurenLee_
• @rolhirst
• @ESSGEETHREE
• @DanielleCu
• @mel_b_angel
• @impxox

Also remember we now have a competition running on who can actually pronounce Arjan Beens correctly so send us your mp3′s or voice message at dghughes28 on Skype – I have no idea what the prize is but I’m sure it will be reasonably cheap.

Next week… supposedly The Monster Squad.

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.

One of the rules of the Midnight Movie Club is that the film that we’re watching has to be one that we would stay up really late watching despite having work the next morning.  Teen Wolf fits this profile perfectly.

This week Lee and Dan talk about

• the complete and utter wrongness of that basketball team
• Boof
• what they really mean by the Werewolf
• what exactly does one do when surfing on the roof of a van
• does any one really care about werewolves?

If you’re on Skype and would like to leave your own thoughts or reactions to Teen Wolf then please leave a message on Dan’s Skype account with the very catchy user name: dghughes28.

Next week Lee is flying solo and podcasting about the disaster that is Teen Wolf Too (if you’ve recently seen Teen Wolf Two and would like to throw your two cents in leave a message with Skype account dghughes28!!.

Okay guys this one is a long one.

It’s a big file and it goes for about an hour and a half.

But we think it’s worth it

Listen to us discuss the effect alien invasion would have on Con Air Blu-ray supplies, how no one ever cares if the nazi dies, ID4 alien prisoner of war rights violations and how the nuclear weapon ruined the alien’s lunch hour.

Oh and Frankenhooker is mentioned…

…and Lee does a Ghostbusters quote.

Next week we’re watching Teen Wolf!!

Other podcasts you should listen to!

• Geek Tragedy
• Casta La Vista

Remember to write to NASA and complain about their anti-stripper-wives policy!!

Big week this week!!!

We have our special guest Mr Matthew Caverhill from the blog Culture Kills adding his own insights on the 1985 John Cusack film Better Off Dead.

Lee also threatens… well several people actually, we think he might need a stress ball.

Dan hasn’t seen Revenge of the Nerds.

Yes it’s another midnight movie club podcast:

Next week is ID4: Independence Day!!!

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

Okay, that’s out of the way now.

It feels like this podcast was years in the making and I can assure you that the quality of the podcast is not reflected by the time gone into it.

It’s probably our best work to date which is probably sad.  Listen to hear Dan and Lee sing songs from The Little Mermaid, it’s actually worse than it sounds!

We promise next week will be Wrath of Khan!!

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

This week the club shuns dancing and corner putting and returns to manly popcorn flicks… well we hoped anyway.  There are a lot of guns in this and a lot walking around but there is also what feels like the longest fight scene ever!

I’m never quite sure what to say in these little introductions since we’ll be talking about the film in the podcast and don’t want to give anything away in a sad attempt to interest you enough to listen.  Lee and Dan nickname one of the characters ‘Dead Eyes’ if that helps?  They also completely don’t bother to learn anyone’s name in the film except the guy who has no name… ummm I might quit whilst I’m ahead.

Join Lee and Dan as they talk about John Carpenter’s They Live!
