Once upon a time ...... There was a boy called Michael Myers.
And he killed people!!.

This week, our TOP 100 Movie Challenge continues as we talk about one of the original slasher movies, and the film that created new type of horror 'monster'. Michael Myers has endured for over 40 years, but do the teenagers of today still find the original scary?. Do they understand its relevance to modern horror?. Do they care?
We talk about his first kill, his escape, how much driving he has to do, why women in the 70's didn't wear bra's, why no one uses light switches, and how the hell did Dr Loomis not notice his stolen car across the street!!!

Once upon a time ...... There was a water ride at a Disney theme park that someone thought would make a good film (??!?!), so they grabbed a pen and some paper, and set about writing a script filled with curses, pirates, love and swashbuckling.
The film was very OTT, everyone loved the main character who was a drunken bum, there was indeed swashbuckling, rum, love, curses, pirates, rum and strumpets, and thus began a franchise.
This week, our TOP 100 Movie Challenge continues as we talk about Captain Jack Sparrow, Barbosa, Norrington, Turner, Swan, over inflated budgets and rum. Uncle Argyle tells us a story, we talk Bang For Your Buck and play Are you Not Entertained!!. Here's the handy link to our original episode on Pirates 1, 2, 3 (4 & 5).

The 2021 Islay Holiday Movie Challenge

Last year we came up with a brilliant idea, by our standards, for a Holiday Movie Challenge. Each of us would buy a movie we had never seen before - it could be old, new, Western, SciFi....WHATEVER. The only rule was it had to be age appropriate. We would then reveal our movies, watch them and then do an episode on each one.
This year, we're doing it again (because we didn't have any better ideas), so this is our movie reveal episode. We will be releasing episodes on each film over the coming weeks, and you can listen to last years Holiday Movie Challenge in the links below:-
Rules and Reveal
Titanic (and the films of James Cameron)
Hummingbird
The Personal Life Of David Copperfield
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
