282: Weekend At Bernie’s II [1993] Movie Review

Our resident sociopaths Larry and Richard are back for some more corpse stealing and bothering in, the even more inexplicable than the original, Weekend At Bernie’s 2. This time, Voodoo reanimates the corpse of Bernie to dance his way into revealing the location of his stolen fortune. Yes, you did read that correctly. Seems those 80’s executives started lacing that cocaine with something psychedelic when they became 90’s executives, it’s the only way to explain this insane movie. Rich loves it. Ant has nostalgia. Abi gets by by making up her own plot.

 

 

281: The Avengers [1998]

The 90’s was having a decent run of movie remakes of 60’s TV shows, with such fare as The Fugitive, Mission Impossible and Maverick achieving success. And then came 1998 with its remakes of Lost in Space and the subject of out podcast this week The Avengers. Based on the eccentric British spy show, the movie is suitably weird and wacky, but perhaps not in the way that Spoiler Filled Crew can get behind. Colourful teddy bear conferences, polite sword fighting, murderous clones, giant wasp robots, villainous Eddie Izzard and the weather being the true nightmare of the British people are all up for discussion this week.
