This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we're heading to the tiny desert town of Perfection, Nevada, as we dig into one of the greatest creature features of the 1990s – Tremors. With Paul away this week, Rob and Scott are joined once again by returning guest Ben Devlin for a fun-filled discussion about a film that perfectly blends horror, comedy, and action.

Starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward as handymen Val McKee and Earl Bassett, Tremors delivers giant underground monsters, unforgettable characters, and a surprising amount of suspense. We explore what made the original film such an instant cult classic, from its brilliantly paced script and practical effects to the terrifying Graboids that kept everyone off the ground.

The team also discuss favourite scenes, behind-the-scenes trivia, memorable quotes, and why Tremors continues to entertain audiences more than three decades after its release. Does it deserve to be considered one of the finest monster movies ever made? We certainly have plenty to say!

So grab a pole vault, climb onto the nearest rooftop, and join us for another nostalgic deep dive into a true cult classic that proves sometimes the best monsters are the ones you never see coming.

This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we're putting the pedal to the metal for a very special episode celebrating the greatest movie cars of the 1980s! With Paul and Scott away, Rob is joined by returning favourites Marc Parslow and Mark Bearling to debate, reminisce, and ultimately decide which iconic movie car deserves to be crowned the king of the decade.

From the time-travelling DeLorean in Back to the Future to KITT from Knight Rider, the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the Ford Falcon Interceptor from Mad Max 2, and the Ghostbusters' legendary Cadillac, the team take a nostalgic drive through some of the most recognisable vehicles ever to grace the big screen.

Which car had the biggest cultural impact? Which one would we most love to own? And which still makes us feel like kids every time it appears on screen? Expect plenty of friendly debate, surprising opinions, behind-the-scenes trivia, and a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia as the guys share their personal favourites and invite listeners to do the same.

Buckle up, turn the key, and join us for an episode packed with horsepower, memories, and pure retro movie magic!

This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we're revisiting one of the funniest comedy pairings of the 1980s as we take a closer look at See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989). With Paul and Scott both away, Rob is joined by returning favourites Marc Parslow and Ben Devlin for an episode packed with laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of memorable movie moments.

Starring the legendary Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, this comedy classic follows a blind man and a deaf man who become unlikely partners after witnessing a murder—each only experiencing half of the crime. The result is a brilliantly chaotic adventure filled with misunderstandings, hilarious set pieces, and the incredible chemistry that made Pryor and Wilder one of cinema's greatest comedy duos.

The team discuss why this film has remained such a fan favourite, sharing their favourite scenes, unforgettable one-liners, and behind-the-scenes trivia. They also explore the careers of Pryor and Wilder, the film's unique blend of slapstick and action, and whether See No Evil, Hear No Evil still delivers the laughs nearly four decades later.

So sit back, press play, and join us for another retro movie deep dive that's guaranteed to leave you smiling.

This week on The 3 Retro Movie Geeks, we’re making a wish on the Zoltar machine as we revisit one of the most heartwarming and iconic comedies of the 1980s – Big. Paul is back in the studio alongside Rob, and they’re joined by special guests Marc Parslow and Derek Taylor for a fun-filled discussion about the movie that proved growing up isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Starring Tom Hanks in the role that earned him his first Academy Award nomination, Big perfectly blends comedy, fantasy, and genuine emotion. We explore Josh Baskin’s unforgettable journey from a 12-year-old boy to an adult overnight, from dancing on the giant piano at FAO Schwarz to navigating the confusing world of business, relationships, and responsibility.

The team also discuss Penny Marshall’s brilliant direction, the film’s memorable supporting cast, behind-the-scenes trivia, and why Big remains one of the most beloved family films ever made. Does it still capture the same magic nearly four decades later? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Join us for plenty of laughs, nostalgic memories, and a celebration of a film that reminds us all never to lose our inner child.
