Sloane "Bones" Nickson

If you ask Bones what the greatest decade in cinema was, don't expect a debate. The answer is the 1980s, and he'll happily spend the next three hours explaining why. If it stars Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Norris, Van Damme or Kurt Russell, chances are he's seen it dozens of times and can quote half the script from memory.

A lifelong mate of Whitey, Gow and Dan, Bones has been part of the Born to Watch story long before there was a podcast. Having grown up and gone to school together, he's been arguing about movies with the boys since VHS tapes were cutting-edge technology. Becoming a recurring guest host was simply the next chapter.

While his heart belongs to 80s action cinema, there's one franchise that sits above them all, Star Wars. Bones' love for a galaxy far, far away borders on obsession. He's proudly held onto his original childhood Star Wars toys, knows more lore than should be humanly possible, and can answer questions about characters you've never even heard of. If there's a Star Wars debate, Bones is already preparing his evidence.

Unlike the rest of the crew, Bones actually does his homework. Weeks before recording an episode, he's already watched the movie, read the trivia, researched the production and probably found three behind-the-scenes facts nobody else knew. It's a level of preparation that's both impressive and mildly concerning.

Whether he's passionately defending another forgotten 80s action classic, correcting someone's Star Wars facts or reminding everyone that movies peaked before CGI became a thing, Bones brings knowledge, passion and just the right amount of movie nerd energy to every episode.

Some say he's still waiting for the 1980s to come back. Others believe his Star Wars collection is worth more than his car. Both rumours seem entirely plausible.

One thing is certain.

When the explosions are practical, the one-liners are unforgettable and John Williams starts playing, Bones is right where he belongs.

Because for Bones, the greatest movies have already been made.

And he'll happily tell you why.
