Batman and Robin
4/25/2012
DownloadDuration: 1:19:08
After taking advantage of a technical problem last week and having a week off Lee and Dan are back this week with the last of the 90′s Batman films. Some would suggest that Batman and Robin is the worst of all the Batman films, some would suggest that it’s the worst film of all time and Lee and Dan have entered this murky world to bring you their thoughts on the matter. How cool. Sigh. Also on the podcast Lee and Dan discuss the flogging of blogs, cabbagedan.com, quityourdayjob.com.au and fantasymoviepodcast.com for example. You can possibly still enter the Amazon competition, depending on when you’re ...

Batman Forever

DownloadDuration: 1:14:45
Michael Keaton and Tim Burton are out and Val Kilmer and Joel Schumacher are in. Is this a turn for the better? Will Lee and Dan fall in love with the Schumacher Batmobile? Three things are sure, apparently chicks dig the car, blacklight paint poses a huge problem to the peace in Gotham City and you’re going to have to listen to the podcast to find out what the boys thought. Apart from Batman Forever Lee and Dan chat about such issues as: Dan having to go back to work, Lee getting kicked out of his building Problems with iTunes, these things didn’t happen when ...

Batman Returns

DownloadDuration: 1:13:34
After many technical problems with last week’s Batman the Movie podcast we are hoping that those of you who subscribe via iTunes will be able to see this week’s episode (and hopefully last week’s will show up eventually). Let us know in a couple of days if this hasn’t happened and we’ll talk to the people that we need to talk with (primarily this means poking Lee with a pointy stick). So after watching the 1989 Tim Burton Batman film some time ago Lee and Dan pushed ahead into the second Burton Batman film Batman Returns. Dan has been making marmalade and Tracey wants ...

Batman: The Movie

DownloadDuration: 1:30:19
Holy podcast Batman!! Yes this week the boys are travelling back to the 1966 Adam West version of Batman. Also Dan is a little hyped up as he is now fallen off the wagon and is now back drinking Diet Coke. Lee got a package in the mail from his Mum and proceeds to simply list everything contained within, fair warning given. Dan is invited by some Red Dwarf guy to go talk about something, but he isn’t going to. Dan also went to the theatre to experience the CGI extravaganza that is Sherlock Holmes. Lee has a Superman figurine with no cape and his arms ...

The Goonies

It’s appropriate this week that Lee and Dan are discussing a children themed film The Goonies as Dan reveals how close it came to baby Cora being born during last week’s podcast! Dan also reveals why babies look like Winston Churchill (in case you were wondering). They also discuss: Dan managed to squeeze in watching Being Elmo, Lee is sad because he can’t become Elmo Jim Henson’s funeral and some other celebrity funerals The importance of Farscape The Runaways comic book series Star Wars the Clone Wars (Lee’s back on the wagon) The comic book Hulk: Gray – Comic book of the month group Lee reads a bunch ...

The Karate Kid

After last week’s controversial differing in opinion this week the boys make up and come together to deliver their take on the 1984 film The Karate Kid. Dan has a history with this film despite having never seen the film before and Lee pressed on to watch the first two sequels. There’s a different energy this week as the boys podcasted under the shadow of Dan’s wife being in labour. Yes that’s right. Dan’s wife was in labour in the other room. Husband of the year. Lee and Dan also discuss: SHAZAM and his hood and his three buckles. Lee wants you angry, Dan wants you to calm ...

Titan AE

Lee and Dan are back flying solo this week with no voice of the medieval youth joining them as they discuss the animated film Titan AE. Lee is whining still about his teeth and then his man flu, but is assuring us that he won’t next week. Dan provides a short course in identifying dickheads. Dan’s wife got The Hunger Games books from her coworkers. Dan’s coworkers give him nothing and he’s jealous of everyone else. Lee has now read all of the Hunger Games books, he bought them for himself. Lee makes a delicious observation about The Academy Awards show and the advertising showing during. Lee ...

Krull

DownloadDuration: Not Available
This week the podcast is all about fantasy, unicorns, cyclops, LARPs, renaissance fairs and a little science fiction thrown in for good measure (or confusion depending on your point of view) as the Midnight Movie Club welcomes special guest host Kasey Thacker of the Fantasy Movie Podcast to lend her expertise. This week the team are watching the 1983 fantasy science fiction epic cult favourite Krull. Dan suffers greatly as he tries to define the term “fantasy film” and Kasey and Lee turn on him. Then Lee tries to get cheap psychiatric advice using Watchmen as a cover. Kasey has been playing Skyrim and ...

It’s been a while since Lee and Dan have had a real disaster podcast on their hands but this week’s may just qualify as one. The end result was a bit of a struggle as Dan’s laptop deleted the makings of one of the funniest and thought provoking podcasts yet. On top of that Lee’s computer refused to record the backup so they lost it all. Then on the second run something else went wrong and a much more mediocre podcast was thrown to the side. The third attempt is what you can hear today and we’re pretty happy with the ...

Coming Up on the Midmoclub

There is no regular podcast this week as during the time we usually record the show Lee was having his teeth pulled out and I was at work trying not to let my boss catch me browsing Reddit. Still all is not lost as we were able to churn out a filler show, cobbled together from odds and sods found on youtube, my hard drive, and the faintly gooey crevice down the back of my sofa. Oh yes, we certainly know how to treat you right here at the midmoclub. Anyhow – here’s the podcast: Make sure you leave a comment either here or ...

The Golden Child
2/7/2012
DownloadDuration: Not Available
It’s a bit of a ramble this week as both Lee and Dan didn’t have their usual painfully researched and extensively comprehensive notes to work from. Obviously the boy’s pure professionalism was enough to get them through, especially as they’ve long anticipated and planned for situations like this. You may have thought that the midmoclub’s previously shambolic nature was a result of Lee and Dan’s incompetence. But no! It was all an intricate plan to reduce your expectations to a point where you’ll basically accept any old claptrap. And let’s face it – it’s worked. Suckers. Trailers discussed this week: Iron Sky 21 Jump Street Safe Animated Napoeon ...

We're limping in just under the line this week, but technically its still Wednesday (at least in the UK) and so this weeks episode isn't actually late - just accurately timed. In this weeks podcast Lee and and Dan wrestle with the issue of Scottish independence, leaky fillings, and the boys both consider joining the secret service.

A drug addled Lee with toothache joins Dan for the giant, Huge, MASSIVE 100th episode featuring the all time classic and favourite of Lee (and apparently all of you) Big Trouble in Little China! The boys discuss the history of having your teeth pulled out and the horror of the student dentist, as well as a discourse on hookers and your obsession with all things Frankenhooker. The trailers that Lee made Dan watch this week: Wrath of the Titans Act of Valor Haywire Red Tails Lee and Dan also comment on SOPA, Netflix in the UK and celebrity spotting. Apologies for the quality of the sound, Dan is very ...

Battle Beyond the Stars

In order to ease everyone back into the brave new non-Star Trek Midnight Movie Club world Lee and Dan decided to stay in the realm of science fiction. Dan regrets this decision. Will we have a new sulk on our hands to rival the likes of Wrath of Khan or The Sure Thing? Maybe. (Actually I already know the answer as I have already heard the podcast). As well as Battle Beyond the Stars Dan and Lee discus the greatness (perhaps this is stretching the definition) of the following trailers: Slave Girls Yor: The Hunter from the Future G.I. Joe: Retaliation The boys also discuss their thoughts on the ...

Star Trek (2009)

All good things must come to an end, even Star Trek movie marathons. We’ve laughed, Dan cried, Lee questioned if it was a good idea in the first place (he’s totally convinced it was) but in the end it has all built up to this last installment featuring the J.J. Abrams helmed Star Trek. Fair warning this is a long podcast, possibly the longest that Dan’s bladder or Lee’s remarkably limited attention span has permitted. All we can suggest is that you skip out on work, hide out in your local school’s storage attic, pace out your sandwiches (you have a ...

Happy 2012 everyone! Lee and Dan are back this week and are talking about the final Star Trek: The Next Generation film Nemesis. Nemesis was a box office and critical disaster so after so many hours of Star Trek films how does the film shape up to their expectations? This week in geek Lee and Dan discuss the following trailers: The Dark Knight Rises The Hobbit Prometheus The Grey They also chat briefly about Batman Arkham City and the very exciting weight loss challenge going on in the Midmoclub labs! So what did you guys think of Star Trek Nemesis? Was it really as bad as people have said? ...

Hurrah it’s the Midnight Movie Club Podcast Christmas special!!!! This week we’re reviewing that classic yuletide movie Star Trek: Insurrection. You know – that one where Santa goes missing and so Ryker and Picard save Christmas by reversing the polarity of the Jeffries Tubes in order to use the Enterprise to deliver all the presents to the girls and boys. OK, maybe not. Due to poor planning and general lack of management we didn’t actually get round to watching a Christmas film this week, and so Star Trek: Insurrection is as good as you are going to get I’m afraid. There are a some ...

Welcome to the all sex and drugs episode of the Midnight Movie Club oh and the boys are watching Star Trek: First Contact (which has very little to do with either but Lee claims a very loose connection to rock and or roll). Medicine hour with Lee and Dan as we try to diagnose what ails Lee, (we settle on gall bladder – despite not really know what one is or does). Star Wars Clone Wars will no longer be mentioned as it’s a given that Lee is continuing to watch it. Lee has been however playing Uncharted 3 and it’s ok. Dan has been not ...

  Lee is back from his holiday (although why he bothered going at all is beyond me as he already lives abroad) and so the boys managed to bash out yet another sparkling episode of the podcast. You truly are blessed. This week we’re talking about : Themed theme parks Full Metal Alchemist Lee liking Star Wars Episode I more than Ghostbusters And a load of other things that I can’t remember. We also hurl abuse at our friends at The Scuttercast and MASH 4077 podcast, because that’s just the way we roll. Oh yeah, we talk about Star Trek: Generations a bit too. Join us next week when ...

This podcast was recorded quite a while ago, but due to our extensive quality control policies and procedures it was held back while our team of production assistants worked 24 hours a day to hone and sculpt it to perfection. Well, either that or Dan forgot he hadn’t uploaded it yet In week in geek this episode we talk about Steven Spielberg, the differences between home theatre and the cinema going experience, and why woodpeckers don’t get brain damage when they bore holes in trees. We then spend some time talking about the rather excellent 1992 movie The Mighty Ducks starring Emilio Estevez, ...

This week Lee and Dan recorded the greatest podcast ever produced by anyone anywhere. No really. More awesome than ninjas riding jet-skies with flame throwers. The single best podcast that any human being has ever had drift down upon their eardrums. And then tragedy struck. Horrible awful miserable tragedy. Dan’s computer died and the podcast of glory was lost forever. The boys tried to recapture the previous wonder and joy but alas the podcast you will now listen to is no good. Yup, the normal standard. Sorry. Also sorry for the movie this week… Next week Lee and Dan continue the trend of not watching the planned films and watching Dawson’s Creek alumni films… The ...

Today’s podcast is slightly late as I was a bit tied up preparing for an interview for a job. An interview for a job that I ended up not getting. So if you want to blame someone, blame the interview panel, not me. Not that I’m bitter or anything *grumble mutter grumble* Anyhow, on this weeks podcast we take a look at what the poll has exposed as the most popular Star Trek movie amongst Midnight Movie Club members – Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. So what do we think? Well you’ll have to listen and find ...

Fright Night

So we started with a movie this week that Lee had seen but Dan didn’t, then it was a film that neither Lee or Dan had seen, but now upon further reflection Lee thinks that maybe he had seen this after all. It’s very confusing and frankly Lee wishes he hadn’t brought it up. This week Lee and Dan watched Fright Night as it’s been remade and that’s the “other” movie marathon they are doing in between Star Trek films. This week amongst other things Lee and Dan discuss: More tales of Jones… including Nerf related subjects Skills that Jones now has: Financial ruin Use of the ...

To be honest I’ve only just finished editing the podcast and I still can’t remember what we talked about. I’m pretty sure that we were unpleasant about Chris O’Donnel, showed our ignorance of classic French Literature, and spent some time discussing Lego Batman. Something like that anyway. Lee is far better at writing these show notes, which is annoying as he doesn’t even bother listening to the podcast. Unfortunately due to ...

Starring George Clooney and (who wrote the screenplay) plus a whole host of Rodriguez and Tarantino regulars this film is a double sided coin that possibly can’t be considered horror simply because it didn’t keep Dan behind the couch for very long.
