303 The Final Countdown 1980
Jan 1400:49:39Tap to summarizeIt's a scifi movie. It's a war movie. It's a one hour and 43 minute ad for an aircraft carrier. The Final Countdown was many things, but were any of them good?

Jan 700:32:38Tap to summarizeIt's THE Terminator. Accept no terrible sequels. This is Schwarzenegger's first time playing the lead villain and because the bad guy is a machine, he's excellent in it. The film itself though, is that excellent? The boys discuss.

Dec 3100:37:44Tap to summarizeBack in the late 80s, Clint Eastwood directed a movie about jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. It starred Forest Whitaker and currently stands at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Dec 30, 2020Tap to summarizeNo, it's not the life story of George Romaka. Instead, it's Steve Martin's first movie. But does it still work? Well the boys, plus special guest Brendan McGinley, are here to let you know. And Joe actually was born a poor black child so he would know.
