Extreme Prejudice is the best and worst of 80s cinema. Directed by Walter Hill it has all the hallmarks of great 80s action but the bank robbery scene as some of the worst stocking disguises worn by Michael Ironside.
In this episode of Born to Watch, the boys head deep into the frozen heart of Minnesota to revisit one of the most distinctive films of the 90s in our full Fargo Movie 1996 Review. Released in 1996 and marketed as a “true story”, Fargo remains a masterclass in dark…
Walter Hills Extreme Prejudice is a slice of 80s gold. The second half of the movie makes zero sense but you can’t turn away. This is one of the great movie quotes from Powers Booth. How does someone even write this down on paper - it’s so good 😂
There is an interesting uniform choice that is made in Ghostbusters 2. It’s almost a little meta.
Die Hard 2 is our Christmas movie for this year and with the aviation theme we discuss the etiquette of plane trips past and present. Has Starlink created a monster with people of long flights ??
In our latest episode we discuss life changing movies and also recollect some childhood memories of Gow seeing Halloween 4 and possibly hiding? You can decide who is telling the truth
Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to Born to Watch as Whitey and Dan dive headfirst into The Running Man (1987). This neon-soaked, dystopian thrill ride predicted the chaos of reality TV decades before Married at First Sight ever hit Aussie screens. In this The Running Man 1987 Review, the boys break down…
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

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.

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
