Send us a text This week on the Hey You Guys Podcast, Liam and Rob look back at Richard Linklater's iconic coming-of-age comedy, Dazed and Confused. With its fantastic cast, endlessly quotable dialogue and wonderfully timeless interpretation of 18 hours on the last day of school, Dazed and Confused might be set in 1976, Austin, Texas, but make no m…

Send us a text The latest Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at one of the strangest sequels in mainstream movie history. It's meta, it's satirical, it's not particularly scary, we're still not sure if it's objectively 'good', but it's nothing if not memorable and utterly unique. Listen in via the link in the bio as…

Send us a text The third and final part of our HUGtober season of Halloween podcasts is here, and this week, Liam and Rob are going full B-movie with 1988's wonderfully named, and suitably ridiculous, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Send us a text The third part of our podcast season of 'dodgy 90s superhero movies' is here, and this week, we take a look back at 1995's, Judge Dredd. Underrated and underappreciated or just plain bad? Well, turns out, it might be a bit of column A, a bit of column B. Is the movie a tonal mess? Absolutely? Is the set design and score magnificent? …

Send us a text The first part in our, 'Dodgy 90s Superhero Movies' season of podcast is here, and well, it turns out that 1996's box office flop, The Phantom might not be nearly as dodgy as we remember.

Send us a text Episode 227 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rod look back at Blade Runner sidequel(?), 1998's, Soldier.

Do those late 90s spe…

Send us a text Episode 226 of the Hey You Guys Podcast is here, and this week, Liam and Rob look back at the movie that arguably ushered in the 1980s. Is Rocky III Stallone's finest work?
