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…
Sometimes a line can be made better by the actors interpretation. Here Robert Davi takes what could be a smutty line and elevates it to cinema magic. If a line read could win an Oscar are we looking at the champion right here 😜😜 #moviepodcast #borntowatchpodcast #showgirls

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.

F1 The Movie hit the cinemas with a roar, with Brad Pitt at his charming best. How could it fail? Well, it didn't, but it didn't succeed by reinventing the wheel. In fact the question must be asked - Are all sports movies the same??

Bob Sugar could be the most hated character of 90s cinema. Here we discuss our thoughts on the character and also Jay Mohr’s performance. #moviepodcast
Jerry Maguire was a turning point in Tom Cruise’s career. The romantic/Sports/Comedy was a smash hit and this scene - Show Me The Money is one of the reasons why.

The Rambo franchise gets a bad wrap most of the time. Sure, after the original - First Blood, they are almost parody but in Rambo: First Blood Part 2 there are some great sequences and the “Trap” sequence is the best the movie gets. #borntowatch #moviepodcast #movieclips #rambo #sylvesterstallone
