It’s Christmaaaaaaaaaas! And in the world of movies, that just means one thing: John McClane is back. Well, he’s not back yet, he’s back next year, but there’s a teaser out for the fourth Die Hard flick and surprisingly, it takes up a lot of our talking time.
On top of that, loads of talk about Superman: The Ultimate Collection, more ragging on Eragon (geddit) and plenty of DVDs and stuff. A stuffed show for Chrimbo!
Take a listen and if you enjoy, please feel free to drop us an email and/or a comment on the site.
Show notes
00:00 - Our brief intro ‘theme’ - excerpted from Spybreak, by Propellerheads, from The Matrix Original Soundtrack.
00:15 - Introduction time…
01:23 - News! Starting with the traditional box-office rundown. Featuring Eragon, The Pursuit of Happyness and Charlotte’s Web. Who came out on top?
05:04 - The only nice thing we’ll say about Eragon for this podcast; we got some facts about it wrong. Oh, that and The Big Sleep.
05:44 - Pulp movies are coming back! Sam Raimi will (probably) direct a new version of The Shadow.
09:23 - And Guillermo Del Toro may direct a new Tarzan flick. Fancy.
13:14 - “We might as well talk about trailers because we haven’t seen any movies.”
13:30 - Live Free or Die Hard. Which totally is the title. Believe it or not, just about all that Al can talk about is Bruce Willis’ lack of hair.
22:42 - The Hitcher, as in the remake.
28:30 - Epic Movie. Oh Gods, save us from the remake of the spoofs of the remakes….
30:46 - Al’s seen C.R.A.Z.Y. As in, zee crazee French flick.
32:15 - Rollerball. The original, not the remake, kids.
36:00 - Lords of Dogtown, the ‘fictional’ version of the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys, written by the guy who directed the documentary and is one of the main characters. But doesn’t play himself. Confused?
39:12 - Stephen’s finally got ahold of Superman: The Ultimate Collection (available at Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and Play.com - although it looks sold out everywhere!). It just doesn’t get any bigger than this, Superman fans. Or nerdier.
48:23 - Christmas Hangover Movies That Make You Cry. This was all Al’s idea; you can tell.
53:30 - We’re not done! Al saw Brainstorm and just had to talk about Christopher Walken some more. But, you’ll be glad to hear, he can’t do an impression.
57:25 - But wait! We forgot to do ‘Guess the 25 Word Review’ - oh mercy me! A great chance to abuse our five listeners.
58:39 - The Great Escape slips in… a classic Christmas flick. If you like watching people getting gunned down.
59:32 - Closing down, and my traditional plea for email - send it to taglinepodcast AT gmail DOT com, ya bastards - or leave a comment below.
Have a great Christmas everybody, and we’ll talk to you in 2007!
