Trailer for new podcast Don‘t You Want Me?

Trailer: Don‘t You Want Me?

"Then I'm about to make the same mistake twice..." Originally recorded in 2019, I've decided to release the full version of the episode on A View To A Kill, with an extra 50 minutes of Marty from Thunderballs and I talking about Roger Moore, Christopher Walken and various other gushing. This episode has lived on Patreon but with the imminent farewell of Daniel Craig as Bond, let's reminisce for Roger's 1985 exit. If Orlebar Brown are listening, we'd still like the jackets please. Thunderballs is launching a new radio show in October 2021, with some very special guests talking about the music of James Bond along with some other insightful questions.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Steve Guttenberg makes his long overdue Betamax debut in the Leonard Nimoy-directed opus Three Men And A Baby. Guttenberg is joined by Tom Selleck and Ted Danson as three New York bachelors who become guardians of a baby left on their doorstep.

Death Wish 3

Not quite an 18-hour road trip, but you could listen to this 18 times... I was joined by Emma Burnell, writer and host of the Zeitgeist Tapes podcast, to discuss friendship, sex, Meg Ryan's hair and whether the tagline of this film should have been "You'll Do". Weirdly, we'd never met before this pod, so any nervous laughter after talk about fake orgasms was genuine.

First Blood

"This is where it ends, Commander" The fifth and final Bond movie of the 80s is here, it's Timothy Dalton's revenge-fuelled Licence To Kill - an 80s movie about drugs and violence with added MI6. My guest for this episode is the dapper Pete Brooker, co-host of the crucial From Tailors With Love podcast. The pod can be found on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There will be a short break until the next episode while I try and catch up (work and babies have got in the way), but I'll be back soon with more of your favourite movies. --------------------------------------------------------------- Executive producers: Gary West, Fergus Higginson, Keith Foster, Jimi Fletcher, Mark Drakes, Matt Cunnington, Christian Deas, Andy Elliott.

Licence To Kill

Ho ho ho! It's still Christmas, so here is one of my favourite festive movies, the third in the Griswold Vacation saga. Returning guest is Ben Baker, author of The Festive Double Issue - Forty Years Of Christmas TV and The Long Quiz Goodnight. Ben's previous appearance was on the Garbage Pail Kids episode, no come back, don't go! The film wasn't released in UK cinemas so the number one song was the Band Aid 2 one which was Christmas number one in 1989.

Transformers The Movie

Knock knock! One of the greatest movies of all time makes it's way to the podcast, the ultimate action/sci-fi/slasher hybrid with Schwarzenegger, Weathers, Ventura, Duke and a woman. Oh, and a little bit of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Stephen Graham (Masters Of The Universe, Scrooged) returns for his hat-trick appearance. Since his last visit, he has started his own podcast called Faces Of Fascism, a fascinating look at that period in history. --------------------------------------------------------------- Executive producers: Gary West, Fergus Higginson, Keith Foster, Jimi Fletcher, Mark Drakes, Matt Cunnington, Christian Deas, Andy Elliott, Chris Hopkins Associate producer: Chris Oakley Visit www.patreon.com/BetamaxVideoClub for more information about bonus episodes, early access and more.

Predator

From the director of Life of Brian! Starring John Cleese! It's... Erik The Viking! Tim Robbins has had enough of rape, violence and Viking stuff and seeks to lead a bunch of British character actors to Valhalla without having to die in battle. Author and former video shop owner Jon Spira joins me to discuss a film that seems to have been forgotten by many, despite the obvious potential. There are also mentions for Jon's new book Videosyncratic, which is available on Amazon with a foreword from Suzie Dent off Countdown, one of Jon's former customers.

Erik The Viking

Trying to podcast about one of the funniest movies of all time is a difficult job. For this task, I was joined by Graham Sibley, host of the essential Sound Of Football, to navigate through this tricky flight. We spend quite a bit of time discussing the springboard for Airplane!, the 1957 movie Zero Hour!, that was almost identical in every way - except it wasn't very funny... The full movie is available on YouTube here - be warned it has been cropped, presumably to avoid being pulled. Graham is also a regular on the OddJob and Whom Pods Destroy podcasts about James Bond and Star Trek respectively. Now pay attention - Speaking of 007, episodes for each of the five official 80s Bond films will be appearing on Betamax from May 2019... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive producers: Gary West, Fergus Higginson, Keith Foster Associate producer: Chris Oakley For more information on bonus episodes of the podcast, early access to future episodes and more, please visit www.patreon.com/BetamaxVideoClub.

Airplane!

For episode six, I was joined by James Montague - author of fine football books, journalist for the New York Times and regular contributor to the BBC's World Football show. It's another Schwarzenegger classic, a adaptation of the Stephen King short story "The Running Man". For info, the opening music is "Paula's Theme" from the movie, from the dancing scene at the beginning of the show, choreographed by Paula Abdul. The closing song is "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies, re-released in 1988.

For this week's episode, I was joined by Louise Joy to talk about 1988's Beetlejuice. Recorded just before Hallowe'en, it's a spooky yet hilarious early Tim Burton flick.

In episode 3, I'm joined by Simon Pegg (not that one) to talk about Jaws 3 (aka Jaws 3-D). There is a winning idea for a spin-off, an exploration of the morality of the captivity of rare animals and we look at misogyny in the 1980s US water park industry. Amazingly there was no swearing in this episode. Anything for a "clean" rating on iTunes. To end the show, we have the UK number one from the date this film was released, the Flying Pickets with a cover of Yazoo's Only You.   Apologies for the poor sound quality - it was early days and a few IT issues got in the way.   Please get in touch on Facebook or Twitter at @BetamaxPod.

A Fish Called Wanda

I'm jumping on the World Cup bandwagon with a look at the official FIFA films of the World Cups of 1982 and 1986. G'Ole, about the tournament in Spain in 1982, was narrated by Sean Connery. Hero, based on Mexico 86, was narrated by Michael Caine. Both had soundtracks provided by Rick Wakeman. Returning to the club is Chris Oakley, brains behind Kitbliss, who are doing a World Cup of World Cup Kits, well worth getting involved in.
