   EP#193:Streetfighter 1994

   With a new Street Fighter movie on its way to cinemas, Charlie and George are off to Shadaloo to take a look back at the original nineties adaptation. With action superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his fame and a script from the writer of classics like Commando and Die Hard, expectations are high. But as they explore this cult classic, they find that plenty can (and does) go wrong. Tune in for a nostalgic look back filled with humour, commentary, and plenty of questionable Belgian impressions!

   EP#191: Big 1988

   In this episode, Charlie and George are talking about one of the 1980s biggest (pun intended) and most beloved comedies, it's Big with Tom Hanks! A key film in Hank's career, as well as director Penny Marshall who would become the first female director to make over $100m at the box office. There's some interesting behind the scenes trivia including crazy casting, a custom giant piano and controversial love stories. Also includes George saying "Robert Loggia" a lot.
