Forever Movie Boys

Three idle men sit around and talk about whatever movies tickle their fancy (or raise their ire) that week

FTVMB: Vanishing Point 04/11/2024

FTVMB: Vanishing Point This episode, Magellan and Barbecue hit the road and discuss the 1997 tv-movie remake of 1972 underground classic Vanishing Point. The paranoia, seediness, grit and nihilism of the 70's gets a kitschy 90's makeover whilst still trying to access the same themes as the original and make sense of a wayward America. next ep: The Plumber /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30774548

FTVMB: The Night Stalker 04/11/2024

FTVMB: The Night Stalker The FMB return to vampire territory and the dirty 1970's for this iconic television film that doubled as the debut for Darren McGavin's iconic intrepid paranormal sleuth, Karl Kolchak. next eo: Vanishing Point (the remake) /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30773593

FTVMB- Seance 03/29/2024

FTVMB- Seance Still refusing to leave the couch, the FMB channel surf so hard they wash up on the shores of Japan. Veritable cinema legend Kiyoshi Kurosawa (not that one) this time lends his subtle hand to the televisual cinematic experience and offers up something typically eerie, perplexing, and maybe even funny. next episode - The Night Stalker /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30592648

FTVMB: Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman 03/22/2024

FTVMB: Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman The FMB decide to pop into the Six-Million Dollar Man series during its twilight years and try to piece together the previous 2 decades of tv-shows and spin-offs while reeling from a surprise, stellar early appearance from future King of Television, Bryan Cranston. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30493748

FTVMB: 12 Angry Men (1997) 03/05/2024

FTVMB: 12 Angry Men (1997) Nick and Tobias stumble on a little gem with this tv-movie adaptation of 12 Angry Men; updated for the 90's and with a stacked cast including a precious Jack Lemmon and an absolutely rabid performance by George C Scott. next episode: The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30233238

FTVMB: The Day After 02/25/2024

FTVMB: The Day After Hunker down, start saving your water and hide your babes (Ruths, that is); our hosts relive the paranoia of the Cold War by revisiting the monumental televisual feature-length anti-nuclear PSA that was The Day After. If the sight of Steve Guttenberg losing his gorgeous locks won't make the powers that be hesitate before pushing the button then nothing will. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30095073

FTVMB: Body Bags 02/20/2024

FTVMB: Body Bags Our hosts still refuse to return to the cinema and remain content with televisual approximations of cinema. This week John Carpenter (with Tobe Hooper) willingly lays himself out on the mortuary table for the FMB to dive in and see if they can find that elusive funnybone in this failed attempt at resurrecting the horror anthology. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/30029408

FTVMB: Ivanhoe 02/05/2024

FTVMB: Ivanhoe After a little hiatus, the FMB still refuse to leave the couch and continue their diet of canned cinema in the form of tv movies, this week it's medieval chivalric epic Ivanhoe; thankfully FMB favourites Sam Neill and James Mason are on hand to spackle over any budgetary setbacks. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29795788

FTVMB: Treasure Island (1990) 01/23/2024

FTVMB: Treasure Island (1990) Next up in the FMB's channel-surfing adventure into the world of TV-movies is 1990's adaptation of Treasure Island, a film stuffed to the gunwale with a criminal amount of talent including pod favourite Charlton Heston as the most piratical buccanner this side of the Spanish Main, Long John Silver himself. next week we flip to the channel showing 1982's Ivanhoe. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29608228

FTVMB: Blackjack 01/12/2024

FTVMB: Blackjack Not content with John Woo's latest; the FMB return to the comforting glow of CRT television and check out his 1998 TV-movie/failed pilot, Blackjack, starring Dolph Lundgren. Much milk is spilt, but the only tears from our hosts are of joy as Woo delivers exactly what they are looking for (and more). next episode: Treasure Island (1990 Tv-movie) /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29467503

Silent Night 12/29/2023

Silent Night Merry Christmas! Cinematic titan John Woo returns to American shores with his first U.S film in 20 years since Paycheck. It doesn't take much for Woo to woo the FMB so they are first in line to digest this Christmas-wrapped gift - but is there coal within? No cookie talk but the FMB somehow manage to talk about their favourite milk scenes in movies so hopefully that rounds out the festive atmosphere. next ep: John Woo's Blackjack /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29268278

FTVMB: Salem's Lot 12/23/2023

FTVMB: Salem's Lot Delving further into the TV-movie tangent, the FMB safely opt for another Stephen King adaptation. This time it's Tobe Hooper's iconic 1979 vampire yarn Salem's Lot. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29210448

FTVMB: The Langoliers 12/18/2023

FTVMB: The Langoliers This Stephen King TV miniseries has been frequently invoked in passing by the FMB since the early days of the podcast; so it's a good thing our hosts have finally gotten around to watching it because, as we now know, the Langoliers do not tolerate idleness. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29123258

Money Plane 12/10/2023

Money Plane Two of our regular three hosts book some seats on the worlds most exclusive, dangerous, high-flying experience available to those in the know - the Money Plane. In the movie, the Rated-R Superstar, Edge contends with The Rumble, only this one isn't as Royal as what he might be used to. next episode- The Langoliers /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/29011153

Tigers Are Not Afraid 11/23/2023

Tigers Are Not Afraid The FMB's insatiable appetite casts their gaze to Mexican cinema this week with Issa Lopez's 2017 contemporary dark fantasy film Tigers Are Not Afraid. It's Pan's Labyrinth meets City of God, but does the film succeed in making those disparate flavours gel? next week: They Call Me Mr Tibbs! /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28770013

The Killer 11/17/2023

The Killer Fincher's back with a little bit of calisthenics after doing some heavy lifting with 2020's Mank. The FMB are, of course, on the scene to have a little chinwag about the Netflix thriller.

Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh 11/01/2023

Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh Join the FMB for Carnival or as they say in latin - farewell to the flesh! This week we deep dive into our 3rd Candyman experience with the chronological sequel.

Candyman (2021) 10/26/2023

Candyman (2021) Looking for the second episode in the Candyman Halloween series, bitch? Well you found it - this week the FMB follow up Candyman (1992) with Candyman (2021) (being a direct sequel this made sense!) We discuss at length our ultimate dissapointment with the film and how it mostly lacks the thing to defines most horror movies Next week - Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28426424

Candyman (1992) 10/20/2023

Candyman (1992) This week Nick and Tobias begin their journey into Candyman country with the 1992 classic.

Next week - Candyman (2021) /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28372763

Saw X 10/12/2023

Two Hands 10/04/2023

Two Hands The FMB have a chinwag about this late 90's Aussie classic starring a fresh-faced Heath Ledger and leather-faced Bryan Brown. Topics covered on the Aussie checklist this episode include: the sincere usage of fair dinkum, memorable Sydney locales and the Yahoo Serious Trilogy. next ep: Saw X /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28220342

A Haunting In Venice 10/03/2023

A Haunting In Venice Is it simply the murder that's most foul in Kenneth Branagh's third outing as Inspector Hercule Poirot? Or is it also the fundamental mishandling of the fundamental concepts behind constructing a film that is both coherent and entertaining for the audience? Some mysteries even Poirot cannot solve. next episode: Two Hands /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28209905

The Changeling (1980) 09/30/2023

The Changeling (1980) Our hosts, game for some spooky cinema, settle in to watch George C. Scott get harassed by a malevolent ghost and walk away feeling a little underwhelmed. next: A Haunting in Venice /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28184564

Alone 09/22/2023

Alone Years after being tremendously impressed with his contributions to the Universal Soldier franchise, the FMB pull out the file on John Hyams and see what the man has been up to. next ep. The Changeling (1980) /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28109750

Kill List 09/14/2023

Kill List Ben Wheatley's films are back in the hot seat (third time this year!) as two of our usual three hosts sit down and draw some comparisons to last episode's Midsommar and folk/weird horror in general. next ep: John Hyams' Alone /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/28029828

Midsommar 09/08/2023

Midsommar Four (four??) years after it's initial release; Ari Aster's Midsommar has crawled its way into the FMB watchlist- almost as if it was inevitable. Does this apparently foregone conclusion dampen our hosts thoughts about the film? In a manner of speaking, yes. Did any of that just make sense? I doubt it. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/27976518

Meg 2: THE TRENCH 09/04/2023

Meg 2: THE TRENCH The mere mention of Ben Wheatley having directed the sequel to 2018's underwhelming The Meg is enough chum for the FMB to come sniffing around and see if there's anything to be gleaned from this intriguing union. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/27931539

Barbie 08/22/2023

Barbie It seems like everyone loves Ken in Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie - but is Ryan Gosling's scene stealing performance truly Kenough? Or could it even Kendanger the stability of the film itself? /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/27816132

OPPENHEIMER 08/07/2023

OPPENHEIMER The Most Important Movie In The History Of The World is here so the FMB lather themselves in SPF 1000, slap on a pair of Oakleys and sit back to watch the fireworks. /episode/index/show/forevermovieboys/id/27678078
