Sam Neil? In a trippy early 80's supernatural horror movie? In this economy!?

Join us this we as we discuss the 1981 cult classic Possession directed by Andrzej Żuławski starring Sam Neil and Isabelle Adjani!

We talk theatrical divorce, weird young Sam Neil, weird sex monsters, silk shirted lothario's, divorcee doppelgängers, toilet drowning, the beauty of Berlin, the icky of sex possession, spies and what might be one of the best performances of a woman going insane!

What do you get when you cross Floptimist favourite Don "The Dragon" Wilson with 90's Vampires? Well, you get Night Hunter. A movie that takes the vampire hunting rule book and tosses it into a fire!

Join us as we discuss this proto Blade concept, that blew all their wooden stake budget on Oakleys. With bad journalists, worse cops, & a hero wearing a duster and fingerless gloves! This movie has it all...  expect a story that makes sense or the time to film more than one take...

What happens when you write an entire movie around a popular 80's song made famous by another 80's movie? And what happens when you cast the one and only Gary Busey are your action hero lead? Do I even need  to continue?

This week we sat down to watch the lost gem that is 1986's Eye of the Tiger. Join us a we talk crotch shots, Testosterone driven revenge, talking bikes, drunk sheriffs, piano wire decapitation, the worst motor cycle gang you've ever seen and Yaphet Kotto flying a 40's Biplane in 40's regalia dropping dynamite. Seriously!

Is it possible to write an entire movie around nudity? This director seemingly made it a goal across his career... and the results are something ** insert collar pulling sweating emoji here**.

This week we hard punched a ticket to Hawaii by watching this 1987 cult classic directed by Andy Sidaris. Join us as we talk boats, model helicopters, bazookas, explosions, awful waiters, casual sexual harassment, awful producers, casual racism and more nudity than you can shake a demon snake at!

Take a trip back to the 90's, a decade when video games were taking the world by storm! It was only natural that Hollywood would eventually try it's hand at adapting a game or two, to try and get those radical 90's teens into movie theaters.

And which titan of video gaming did Paul Yukich decide to bring to the big screen???
Double Dragon! The only movie where you can watch the T-1000 duke it out against The Chairman from Iron Chef & the lad from Party of Five. All so he can try steal the other half of a necklace to complete his transformation into an extra from the music video for Aha's "Take on Me".

On this weeks episode of The Floptimists, we take a deep dive into the 1991, Sci-Fi/Horror movie called "Dead Space". Your host for this week is me, Dave, and of course, it makes sense that I would pick a movie with that name (shout out to all you Dead Space the game fans).

Dead Space is a pretty run of the mill space sci-fi/horror that is full of it's own charm, whimzy and all around nonsense that just makes it an absolute gem to watch in our opinion. Head over to Plex and give it go or just listen to us spoil the hell out of it and have a great laugh :)

Join us in the space sauna for this one and thanks for listening!

You've probably heard of Starcrash before - but have you actually seen it? Yea... its kind of a Star Wars rip-off - but its so much more too! Space swimming, Space cave-men, Ineffective space Amazons, giant fembots, capes, power-masks, poorly explained god-like powers, space prison and thats just scratching the surface!

Join us this week as we dive into this Italian star-wars derivative as we talk Roger Corman, terrible miniatures, awful dubbing, a young Hasselhoff and how this movie is kind of a proto-Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

This week we're shaking things up and watching a disaster movie that isn't completely nonsensical! We watched 2018's The Quake (or to give it it's original Norwegian title, Skjelvet).

We've watched a lot of disaster movies over our 68 episodes, but this one really drives home the humanity of a natural disaster. And by humanity, we of course mean the ineptitude of everyone involved, be they terrible parents or equally as terrible geologists. This is the movie the Norwegian Tourist Board (probably) called: "More than concerning". With the added bonus of being a sequel to a movie that neither Dave or Ian knew existed until we recorded this.

So join us, as expert Warren guides 2 dumb-dumbs on a journey with a wander down memory lane, a few meanders, and more than a few name drops of that hotel with the colour in it's name, you know the one...
