Is Predator the perfect action film? It’s hard to argue that it isn’t. Arnold Schwarzenegger owned cinema for nearly 20 years thanks to blockbusters like Predator (1987). This movie has everything, muscles, jungle, guns, aliens, it has something for everyone and I can still remember the first time that I…

One must wonder whether the Horror movie as we know it today would even exist without the masterpiece that is The Exorcist. Adapted from the best selling novel, William Freidkin through caution to the wind and created a movie that took the public by storm. Incredible performances from the whole…
Two very different movies but steeped in 80s greatness. The movie that essentially announced Eddie Murphy to the world as a legit superstar, Beverly Hills Cop arguably created the action/comedy movie. An electric script that doesn’t let up from start to finish and a cast that is firing on all…
These two movies define their genres and each got to that place in different ways. In 2008 Marvel Studios gambled everything on a recovering addict and a visionary director and what they managed to deliver changed the world. IRON MAN started it all for what would become the MCU and…
Although HEAT and ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN are vastly different they both blew my mind upon seeing them for the first time. HEAT rewrote the realistic action movie with action scenes are are now studied by law enforcement for their accuracy. Two of the biggest stars of the time finally…
Part 3 of the Life Changing Movie Recommendations series is about two great movies. Both action films but very different. That first time you see the dinosaur in Jurassic Park can’t be matched for the majesty. We all knew it was fake but Steven Spielberg managed to transport us to…
The list continues with more movies that changed my life in Part 2 of life changing movie recommendations. My love of movies started from a young age and has never waited. I remember seeing Pulp Fiction in the cinema like it was yesterday. I knew I was watching something truly…
There have been many movies that changed the way I viewed cinema. Here are just a few of the movies that I recommend that changed my life. Whether it be from an actual cinema experience or learning to appreciate the art of movie making. There are some amazing movies in…
On the Born to Watch Podcast we like to push the boundaries of the spoken word. Sometimes we may even develop new words to help win an argument or get a point across. As we go through the back catalogue of Animal Kingdom star Ben Mendelsohn, there is such a…
Gow discovered a movie made about his life whilst researching for Animal Kingdom. Sometimes life just finds a way to keep delivering the gold. There is little doubt that Gow is fully self aware of one of his greatest assets …. Or are they??
In 1986, John Carpenter, with his muse Kurt Russell made a film that would completely bomb upon release. As the years grew so did its status until Big Trouble in Little China would become one of the best cult films ever committed to film. Kurt Russell plays the iconic Jack…

Hanna-Barbera is the King of cartoons and as a child there was nothing better than a weekend spent with Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Jabber Jaws, The Jetsons to name a few. The only thing that made it better was when there was a cross over and Batman or Kiss would turn…
The boys are back in the Panic Room for Crocodile Dundee and things start to get a little heated. Dan is lonely up there on the land and was itching for a fight and when the subject of 1986 being the best year of cinema, he couldn’t hold back. In…
In the beginning I wasn’t the confident podcast host that you see now 😂😂 I have always found starting the podcast to be difficult and have since learnt that sticking to what works and more importantly you can remember has made a huge difference. There are plenty more out takes…
As promised I went and saw Black Adam on the weekend. I shouldn’t have been surprised at the outcome really. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, this is supposed to kickstart the new phase of DC films. Well in my opinion, nothing much has changed. This could very well be the…
I have learnt a lot on my podcast journey but even more so since i have been producing YouTube content. Some of it has been great but some of it has been a harsh reality check 😂
With a little tinkering could Max Max become the best movie trilogy of all time. If we were to leave a certain chapter out then I think it could be. There are some amazing trilogies in the discussion though. Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Lethal Weapon to name…
Whitey and Dan have yet another discussion about the validity of the MCU movies. It can’t be argued that the Marvel movies have definitely changed the landscape of movies, the question is whether it’s for the better. There is no doubt that there are some fairly average chapters in the…
The boys discuss in depth what it must feel like to have to shave your flowing hair for a role. There is also a question over whether there is a bullet wound scar on the back of Fifi’s head. The iconic Fifi is played by the larger than life Fred…
