Retrospection

Colin and Paul

An irreverent glance at the film and TV of yesterday. Does the entertainment of our youth still hold up today, or have we changed too much? Two old friends, Paul and Colin, laugh, argue, criticize and occasionally remember that they’re doing a movie podcast.

Retrospection - 117. Dunkin’ Durkin
play

05/08/23 • 68 min

In this episode we're taking a dive into the watery future of a flooded London with the cult, sci-fi, action film, Split Second (1992). A low budget British outing for Rutger Hauer and Kim Cattrall, surrounded by a host of British actors. Would we love to let it float on by, or should it be sunk?

Along the way, Paul tries to deny his love for an old TV show called Bugs, Colin reveals his psychic link, and they both discuss some childish behaviour (surprise, surprise). Enjoy!
