In 1986 Sylvester Stallone released Cobra, this was supposed to be his “Big Cop” character franchise. History will show that it wasn’t, at the time we loved this movie but we may have a different perspective as older men.

Would you like to know more? Because this week on Born to Watch, we’re diving headfirst into the glorious, bug-splattered madness of Starship Troopers (1997). It’s a movie filled with brain bugs, bad acting (on purpose!), big guns, and a surprising amount of boobs. What more could you want? Join…

Inception is the kind of movie where everytime you watch it you can find something new. The twist in the movie about how Cobb believes in Inception is amazing.
Even though it’s commonly thought of being one of the best kids movies of the 80s. The NeverEnding Story is responsible for some serious childhood trauma on the podcast and surely the world in general. The death of Artax is one of the most emotional scenes in cinema history.

From the slow-burn brilliance of the opening scene to Brad Pitt’s Southern twang and Christoph Waltz’s Oscar-winning menace, we break down every moment…

Here we discuss whether the Dark Side of the Force is as bad as it’s made out to be. Their seem to be some emotional blackmail with Obi Wan and Yoda, where Vader and The Emperor seem very clear.
DAMO explains how he felt watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time. It’s hard to believe that on this budget and being over 50 years old that a movie a horror movie can look this good, but does it still pack the “Horror” punch that modern day movies…
