The Black Dog Video After Dark Podcast

Dylan and Darren are joined by local radio and voice-over legend, Martin Strong, as we enjoy a couple of pops and lovely chat about one Charles Robert Redford, his career as a movie star, director, producer and environmentalist and his star-studded, 1992 techno/thriller/comedy extravaganza, Sneakers! But that's not all - dig into such sweet bonus content as, ghosts playing baseball, classic hacker tropes, our love for Stephen Tobolowsky and what movies were like in pre-fascist America. Tune in, drop out and turn onto the Black Dog After Dark podcast! Please enjoy responsibly. 

In this very special episode of the Black Dog Video After Dark podcast we thought that we'd try something a little different! Instead of reviewing one film, we thought we'd do one year! We picked the year 1999 as it was a particularly excellent year for movies. So we each grabbed our top 9 films from that year (also recorded on the 9th day of the 9th month - woah) to chat about. In addition to this fun, you get to enjoy Dylan's Ethel Merman/Tragically Hip impersonation as well as his tales of his own personal fight club. Duncan either forgot what year we were doing or what movie he liked. Good times to be found here! Please enjoy responsibly. 

Who doesn't love a good (bad) 'when animals attack' movie? We sure do! The proof is in this pudding right here! Join Duncan, Darren and special guest, Sam Dulmage, as we venture into the forest for a gander at the environmental disaster epic, Day of the Animals! Also, enjoy our rundown of 1970s stock movie characters and Duncan's uncanny owl impersonations. We ask the questions, just how old is that 12 year-old and is this film an allegory for the Vietnam war? And of course, a shirtless Leslie Nielson fights a bear! Please enjoy responsibly! 

Join Darren as he welcomes Amanda and Josie back to the podshow to have a couple of pops and discuss Martin Scorsese's 1985 lost in New York, wonderfully weird comedy, After Hours! Not only that but we tackle such important issues as why is AI doing art instead of menial jobs, how long can a person stay awake, how to get an nickname in the army and Darren struggles with common idioms. Please enjoy responsibly.

Before history! Beyond imagination! It’s 1981’s Clash of the Titans! Please join Dylan, Duncan and me, Darren (3-D!) as we enjoy a few cold ones to wash down the dusty, smoky palate of this star-studded relic featuring the outstanding stop-motion work of one Ray Harryhausen! Also on the menu, Medusa guest spots, the Pat Roach fan club (no, not that Pat Roach!), Dylan sustains an injury, perhaps he has angered the gods? Find out on the latest episode of the Black Dog Video After Dark Podcast! 

Join Dylan and Duncan as they welcome back to the show local funny fellow, Paul Anthony (Darren was away on a secret mission that he chose to accept), as they dig into the woefully under-seen Canadian comedy classic, The Wrong Guy! Bonus content includes; who is Boyd Banks and can you please stop saying Boyd Banks, the Colm Feore fan club and Dylan loses his marbles trying to think of a Canadian movie set in Canada. Enjoy responsibly and Happy Canada Day!

Please welcome Dylan, Duncan and Darren into your ears as we sit down, have a couple of drinks and discuss 1984's un-classifiable star-studded, weirdo, wonder-extravaganza that is The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! Not only that but you can enjoy Duncan's impersonations of John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd and Benito Mussolini! Tell us what your "John" name might be! Find out all you need to know about slug sex and more! Please enjoy responsibly.*note* Rowdy Roddy Piper was not in the film Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo. Darren mixed him up with Howard Hessman, as one is wont to do. 

Join Dylan and Darren as they welcome Jeff the Barber back to the show to enjoy a couple of cold ones and discuss Alex Cox's 1984 punk rock classic Repo Man! What is the repo code? Who was the Cookie Crisp Wizard? Can Dylan decide if he likes or dislikes the movie? What are the greatest swearing overdubs of all-time? Why didn't Pretty in Pink hook up with Ducky? All these, plus many other questions will or may be answered in this hilarious episode of the Black Dog After Dark Podcast!

Join Dylan, Duncan and Darren as we have a few pops and tuck into the 1975 dystopian roller-skating and motorcycle carnage classic, Rollerball! Enjoy Duncan’s in-depth history of roller derby, movie posters and Bob Ross! Find out which one of us didn’t care that much for the film (hint, it’s not the guy wearing the Rollerball T-shirt!) **note** we recorded this episode a few weeks back but then Darren went on vacation and Dylan enrolled himself in a Zeppelin piloting course, so apologies for the delay in getting this one posted (also a few things have changed in the real world since recording this, can you guess what they might be?). Please enjoy responsibly.
