Revenge of The Nerds: 30th Anniversary

In this episode we discuss the 1984 film, Revenge of The Nerds. This is a much loved film within certain circles, and some of our podcasters love this film, yet, not everyone at The Soylent GreenScreen was a fan. Through this discussion we hypothesise whether or not Louis was a hero or creepy psychopathic villain who was pushed too far, and whether the Lambda Lambda fraternity were really that bad.

 

We also examine some of the more comntroversial elements of Revenge of The Nerds and whether these nerds are as inspiring as they have been given credit for. We also touch upon other forms of nerd humour such as Big Bang Theory and the referencs to Revenge of The Nerds in American Splendour.

Xmas Special: Gremlins 30th Anniversary

Our series of 1984 retrospective episodes continue into our latest Christmas special with the 1984 Christmas classic, Gremlins, directed by Joe Dante and presented by Steven Spielberg. Through this episode we discuss the influence of Gremlins, the tightrope this film walks between horror and comedy, the absurdity of Phoebe Cates speech, and the film references throughout the movie. We also attempt to uncover whether the film references such as Snow White and Invasion of The Body Snatchers have any hidden meanings and if the Gremlins are an allegory for atheism.

Ernest Saves Christmas

In this episode, The Soylent GreenScreen takes a closer look at the modern Christmas Cult Classic, Ernest Saves Christmas. Through this discussion we focus on the legacy of the late, great Jim Varney and the irreplaceable comic brilliance he brought to the character of Ernest. 

We also discuss the formula of Christmas films; we go off on a tangent about Dr Who and a few random topics of discussion, because you never know where a conversation about Ernest P. Worrell will take you.

The Karate Kid 30th Anniversary

In this episode Wayne challenges Michelle and The Justin’s opinions on The Karate Kid and why it may be the greatest sports film of all time. Darkest-timeline Justin and Michelle on the other hand were not as taken and thought it was too long, while Regular Justin was just as indifferent but thought it was too short.  Through this discussion we discuss the character motivations, the Stinson argument, whether or not Mr Miyagi was good at his job, how a janitor can afford so many cars, understanding Johnny's Point of View, why Daniel is a great teen role model, and why Wayne thinks The Karate Kid is not a martial arts film. By the end of the episode Wayne gets his mind Blown by Darkest-Timeline Justin’s Fight Club theory, which surprisingly, holds together.
