Episode 77: Look Who’s Talking/Look Who’s Talking Too
Thursday Sep 08, 2022
Thursday Sep 08, 2022
Episode 77 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell take you on another trip through movies of any year, any genre and and quality.
Your hosts are in double bill territory this week and what a double bill it is - it's Amy Heckerling's one-two punch of LOOK WHO'S TALKING and LOOK WHO'S TALKING TOO! Bruce Willis voices a baby, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are the responsible adults.
In this one, Hayley is the responsible adult, offering her views on motherhood and how things may have changed since the movies were released. Darren is the irresponsible adult and has the odd tantrum. There's plenty to talk of the trouble production of the second movie and some bizarre creative choices all round.
Mitch Bain may not be supplying the voices he does supply the fab music for The HD Movie Podcast's and you can find him on social media: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 76 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are back for another journey into the movie world - any genre, any year, any quality is fair game.
Our hosts have bid farewell to the sharks for another year but there's still a big, wide movie world out there and this episode takes a look at predators of a different kind in John McNaughton's WILD THINGS!
Hayley and Darren chose to view the Extended Unrated version of this darkly comic, erotic thriller and, as big fans of the original Theatrical Cut, how does the extra footage stack up? Those additional sequences are discussed, as well as an earful of controversial dialogue, an eyeful of Kevin Bacon and more besides!

Episode 75: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #10 - The Last Shark (Guest: Cait Orton)
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
Episode 75 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell continue to bring you their takes on movies of any genre, any year and any quality.
It's time to bid farewell to the second Summer Of Sharks but we've found an absolute doozy on which to bow out - it's Enzo G. Castellari's shameless Jaws rip-off THE LAST SHARK!
Special guest and shark fan Cait Orton returns to give the miniseries the send off it deserves. Expect discussions about wonky dubbing, bizarre miniatures, a picky/useless predator (depending on your point of view), hunters with very specific jackets and the most terrifying thing in any shark movie ever - Vic Morrow's accent!
The HD Movie Podcast's music - including that amazing Summer Of Sharks theme - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 74: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #9 - Shark Attack 3: Megalodon
Thursday Aug 18, 2022
Thursday Aug 18, 2022
Episode 74 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Your hosts Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell welcome you on their continuing voyage through movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
It's time for the penultimate episode in the second Summer Of Sharks miniseries as Hayley and Darren skip the first two Shark Attack Movies to focus on the infamous SHARK ATTACK 3: MEGALODON!
Infamous? Well, it was the talk of social media for a short while because of a particular line of dialogue in the film, one that will surely follow lead actor John Barrowman around for the rest of his days. And yes, one of our hosts takes one for the time by reciting the line (without trying to spontaneously combust from embarassment).
Elsewhere, does Bulgaria look like Mexico? What happens when you only have one piece of CGI to play with? And do we have a contender for one of the best character names of all time?
Our very cool Summer Of Sharks theme - plus the rest of the music you here in The HD Movie Podcast - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Thursday Aug 11, 2022
Episode 73 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell wade through those cinematic waters to bring you another chat about a movie of any genre, any year and any quality.
The second Summer Of Sharks turns darker this episode with a discussion of 2003's OPEN WATER, directed by Chris Kentis and starring Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis. Both Hayley and Darren weren't exactly blown away by their previous viewings of this but did a rewatch turn them around?
The music you hear in the HD Movie Podcast - including the excellent Summer Of Sharks theme - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Thursday Aug 04, 2022
Episode 72 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are back to take a swim around the world of movies. Those movies, as you probably know by now, can be of any year, any genre and any quality.
The second Summer Of Sharks continues with another fourth movie in a film franchise. Our hero Fin heads to Las Vegas as a new meteorological menace rears its head(s) in SHARKNADO: THE FOURTH AWAKENS!
When the craziest shark movie series hits the craziest place in the world, do the expected sparks fly? Is the series beginning to run out of steam? Did April survive the falling debris on Sharknado 3? All these questions and more will be answered in this very episode!
The music you hear in the HD Movie Podcast - apart from the Sharknado theme which is playing in your head - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Thursday Jul 28, 2022
Episode 71 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell once again dive headlong into movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
Your hosts are back to continue their second Summer Of Sharks and this time they're here to finish off the Jaws franchise - or will it finish them? Michael Caine may never have seen this movie but he's certainly in it - it's JAWS: THE REVENGE!
Expect a whole load of chat about the film's wacky plot, Mario Van Peebels channelling the spirit of the Caribbean, Lorraine Gary channelling a different kind of spirit altogether and that's before the subject of a roaring shark rears its head (quite literally, in this film). It's a fun old time!
The music you hear in the HD Movie Podcast - including that nifty shark film intro - is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Episode 69: SUMMER OF SHARKS 2 #5 - Dark Tide (Guest: Cait Orton)
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
Thursday Jul 14, 2022
Episode 69 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell take the plunge into movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
The second Summer Of Sharks is about to hit its halfway point and Special Guest Cait Orton is back for her second episode in a row, this time to give her thoughts on 2012's DARK TIDE which stars Halle Berry and is directed by John Stockwell.
Cait and our hosts talk underwater photography, marine tourism and the importance of getting the technical aspects correct even in a fictional work. If you think that all sounds a little too worthy and serious, Cait and Hayley also have to ensure Darren does not allow his Halle Berry worship to spiral out of control.
The HD Movie Podcast's music is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.

Thursday Jul 07, 2022
Episode 68 of The HD Movie Podcast is here! Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell dive into movies of any year, any genre and any quality.
The podcast's second Summer Of Sharks is into its fourth week and this time our hosts are joined by a returning guest! Shark fan Cait Orton is here to talk 1958's SHE GODS OF SHARK REEF, directed by genre icon Roger Corman.
Are there She Gods? Is there a shark? Is there a reef? We answer those questions as well as discussing the nature of shooting a genuine B-movie, some questionable character choices and a potential "Cannibal Holocaust situation" which undermines the kitsch somewhat.
We have been ordered by Queen Pua to inform you that The HD Movie Podcast's music is written and performed by Mitch Bain: @whoelsebutmitch on Twitter, evertheoptimitch on Instagram.
