This week we chat all things Rambo. No, not the apple! The movie! Interesting fact; the only Rambo movie that doesn't have the name Rambo in the title... First Blood. (ok, not that interesting)

Dumped by their partners, two buddies take a trip to their local shopping centre.. ahem, mall. They're not there to shop. They're not there to work. We’re here to chat all things Kevin Smith’s Mallrats (1995).

Snootchie Bootchies! 

The second film in the View Askew-niverse but chronologically a day before Clerks and maybe coincidentally enough, our FIRST Kevin Smith chat. BROSE stink-palms (just kidding, we’re still social distancing) Trev, Cable & Aaron Carol (on debut) as they break down topless fortune telling, dating game shows and Stan Lee. Yep! You better believe it True Believer, THAT Stan Lee!! Excelsior!

When rogue military operatives seize control of Washington DC’s International Airport only the same guy in the wrong place at the wrong time can save the day…  ..again! 

Brose, Shaun, Jarrod and with assistance from Looch, will need a little more than 58 Minutes to chat about great action flicks, good movie sequels, horrible car battery commercials, Pirate movie directors and all the other ingredients that make up the second instalment of the Die Hard franchise.

All outgoing flights have been delayed, incoming flights are circling waiting to land and you have a fully charged phone (or whatever you use to listen to podcasts).

Nov 12, 2020

Is it true that Tintin was based on the intellect and boyish charm of Stuart? That Haddock is a thinly veiled cartoon of Brose? And are the Thompson Twins merely the Stephen Twins? No, not at all. That's ridiculous and such speculation has no place in the blurb for this episode!

What IS this week's film for discussion? If you haven't guessed (or read it in iTunes when you clicked on the episode) maybe you shouldn't listen to ChatFlix?

It is The Adventures of Tintin!! Stephen Spielberg (the Stephen triplets?) and Peter Jackson's combined effort to adapt Tintin and make an Indiana Jones movie without Indiana Jones.

Download now to find out how we think the movie panned out.

Nov 11, 2020

We all go a little mad sometimes and some of us are crazy for the flick about a secretary on the run, who checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the control of his overbearing mother. ChatFlix has finally gone Psycho (1960). 

Folling Dial M For Murder (Episode 126) and Rear Window (Episode 154), Alfred Hitchcock would light up cinemas once again with a whole other kind of movie going experience and further cement his role in popular culture.

Join Danielle as she checks into The Brose Motel and meets its shy proprietor Stu but where exactly is James in all this?

Don't give away the ending - it's the only one we have! Check in, get comfortable and enjoy a shower with our latest episode TODAY!

This week we chat about the Movie that Started it All! Well, Paul Hogan’s issues with the Australian Tax Office anyway! Crocodile Dundee is the film that gave us the iconic character Mick J Dundee and 3 unnecessary sequels.

A whole generation of Aussies grew up knowing him as the cheeky larrikin TV comedian, Hoges. The world would help make him the star of what his still Australia’s highest grossing film here in Oz.

With Brose Avard as your guide and Jarrod Welsh wearing the Crocodile tooth hat, I guess that means Matt O’Neil will be bending down into the billabong wearing a tight, black one piece?

Download now to find out how we find the original Crocodile Dundee 34 years later.

In the 1970s Bruce Lee and Raymond Chow set out to make the film that would change martial arts films forever: Enter the Dragon.

Its affect on pop culture is immeasurable. From Bruce Lee rip offs to Blacksploitation Kung Fu films to video games to movies based on those video games and beyond. Everything can be traced back to one film: Enter the Dragon.

This week Brose sits down with Danielle Chau, Adam Thomas and Harry Wall to talk about Bruce Lee's greatest film: They Still Call Me Bruce. No, sorry, Enter the Dragon!
