The Fly
Gee has picked this classic sci fi/horror. Jeff Goldblum goes on a 15 feet teleportation trip but something goes awry; he undergoes an unprecedented transformation from nerdy scientist to gigachad superhuman but the problem is he keeps changing... Does this classic Cronenberg body horror make us buzz with excitement or make us bang our heads against a window pane?

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
Bouphe finally gets another pick! Huzzah! What happens when you take a forgotten kung fu movie from the '60s, redub it, add extra footage chroma keyed into it, then add a CG of fighting cow and tongue? A movie that falls flat on its face or flying kicks its way to victory? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Jagged Edge
Gee pick! Jagged Edge! She wanted us to watch a neo-noir whodunnit thriller, found this movie existed and it went onto her list. The husband to a rich murdered wife is the only suspect until 73 minutes into the movie, did he do it? Jagged Edge or blunt rusty tool?

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Gee picked this video game adaptation cos she just wanted to munch popcorn and turn off brain. Angelina Jolie plays the only woman in existence, Lara Croft, surrounded by men who either want to kill her or make love to her. Was this film a real treasure or should it have remained buried and forgotten? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Another Simon horror pick! Big director, big budget, big stars! Francis Ford Cop-a-load of this classic story adapted to the big screen.

Xtro
Simon has picked this spectacular film about an estranged father reuniting with his son. Oh and daddy is now part alien/extradimensional being and wants to make kiddo like him.

The Prestige
Gee sure loves her Hugh Jackman 19th century period pieces where he plays a showman. Deadly rivalry between magician Christian Bale and Huge Jackedman in the late 19th Century with a splash of science fiction. Did the movie make us gasp in wonder or do we wish it would just disappear? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Daredreamer
Bouphe finally gets another pick. This film is very important to her and sharing this experience with us means a lot. A 38-year old man is still in highschool; he sings songs, blows up a chemistry lab, murders fish and falls in love with a much younger girl. Daredreamer or Darenightmarer?

Rambo: First Blood
Gee won again! The harrowing tale of a man wronged by society, a Vietnam vet with PTSD dealing with conflict both inside his mind and out in the forests of the Pacific NW. Is it Rambo or Ram-boo?

Tropic Thunder
One of Gee's picks, Tropic Thunder, an action movie where everything goes horribly wrong, where the lines between reality and fiction blur, where Robert Downey Jr dons blackface and yet isn't racist...? Oscars all round or did the film go full? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dead Again
A Simon pick! Dead Again, starring (at the time) married couple Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson. Past lives! Murder! Mystery! Suspense! Scissors! So many scissors!

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
Another Simon pick - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension, what a mouthful! Peter Weller, Robocop himself, starred in this scifi cult classic with Jeff Goldblum and John Lithgow. Simon could never finish this film on prior viewings, that's not a good sign.

Galaxina
Simon finally gets a film of his picked - Galaxina! A scifi masterpiece with stunning effects starring Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten who died tragically shortly after the film released. It's a comedy that parodies such classics as 2001, Alien, Stars Wars and Trek.... but what did our hosts make of it?

Twisted Pair
Our first Neil Breen Episode - Bouphe's pick was the legendary auteur's film Twisted Pair! Was it an incomprehensible mess of a story or just too smart for the average small-brained mortal viewer to grasp?

Frankenhooker
Fate (with a little help) has determined that we watched Bouphe's pick - Frankenhooker! This gory 1990 horror comedy from Frank Henenlotter is about bringing a dead fiancée back to life using body parts from 'ladies of the night'. Did we split our sides or lose our heads over this truly unique work of cinematic art? Check out bonus YOMP content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/yompcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Heat
Another from Gee's selection (what were the odds of that happening??? One in three) - Heat! Heists, capers, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, cops vs robbers... are they really so different?

Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Our first film up for discussion is from Gee's list - the hit 80s comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles! It's Thanksgiving and Steve Martin and John Candy are on a road trip from hell.
