The Nice Guys is an under rated gem and Ryan Gosling does everything in his powers to steal the movie.
Back to the Future Part 2 was very bold in some of its future predictions. The 18 Jaws sequels it predicted when explored is actually very funny. Here Gow goes through each sequel and tagline 😂😂
Modern Family is still one of the best sitcoms to ever do it. On the latest rewatch I stumbled across this scene and absolutely lost it. Cameron Tucker is one of the best characters on TV.
Outbreak hits different since 2020 but was a great rewatch. The start is powerful and unexpected.
The song that made us all stand and applaud - Licking Himself Out is a power ballad like no other. Written by our resident scribe "Dan on the Land" the lyrics evoke such emotion. The Born to Watch House Band have outdone themselves with this instant classic
Damo is first cab off the rank with his incredible "Pull Ricks Leash", a tribute to the 1987 classic surf movie - North Shore. A rousing ballad that shows just how tough it was to make it in Hawaii in the 80's as a young wave pool surfer from Arizona
The Running Man saw a different, more slimmed-down version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Here, Dan and Whitey explain why that was the case, and Dan also thinks there are some similarities between the physical prowess of Arnie and himself. You decide?
This is 40 is full of quality bloopers but this one shows what true love is like in a marriage. When he fulls presents his problem to his wife it’s next level funny.

Before Skywalkers, before Jedi, before destiny took centre stage, there was Rogue One, the grittiest, most grounded entry in the Star Wars universe. This week on Born to Watch, the boys dive headfirst into the rebellion with their take on the 2016 standalone that surprised everyone by being one of…
From Dusk Till Dawn was a revelation in many ways. The tonal shift halfway through the movie is epic but it’s the clothing choice from one of the characters that inspired Damo the most.
In the latest episode, we discuss Gary Oldman's performance as Stansfield and why he is the perfect villain. Mostly adlibbed this is an incredible performance from a master.
When it was released in 1995, Showgirls was a complete disaster. It has since gone on to gain somewhat cult status. BUT - the home video release was massive and here we discuss a possible reason why it was. #moviepodcast #borntowatchpodcast #showgirls
It’s not often you see Ron Burgundy lose it, but in this scene he just can’t control himself. Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell must find it impossible to get through any scenes.
We were greeted with a cracking score in our first Chuck Norris movie - Code of Silence. The starting score is a thing of 80s beauty and then it hooks into some slap bass that gave Will a little bit of stank face. #moviepodcast #chucknorris #borntowatchpodcast
This week, the Born to Watch crew dives headfirst into one of the most underappreciated sci-fi action films of the last decade: Edge of Tomorrow (aka Live Die Repeat). Released in 2014 and starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, this time-loop thriller somehow bombed in the U.S. but found love…

The heat is back on as the Born to Watch crew returns to Beverly Hills for fast-talking cons, Ferrari chases, and full-throttle 80s action-comedy. In this episode, Whitey, G-Man, and Dan on the Land break down Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), the slick Tony Scott sequel that turned Eddie Murphy…
Welcome back to Born to Watch, the movie podcast that doesn't take itself, or the movies, too seriously. Unless we're talking about Dune, because this one's different. In this epic episode, Whitey and Sir Dimmy of House Cockburn brave the dunes of Arrakis and unpack Dune: Part One (2021), Denis…
The Hunt for Red October is still great 35 years later but it’s this subtle transition from Russian language to English that is extremely well done. We sticky for that as a whole movie with Sean Connery in a Russian accent may have been horrible.
DAMO explains his thoughts on F1 The Movie being the best movie of 2025. There are some valid points to the quality of the movie this year, it also screams that people just aren’t going to the movies as much anymore, which is a shame.
