This week on Gonna See My Friends, we head to Vegas with Ocean's Eleven. We talk about the legendary ensemble cast, Steven Soderbergh’s slick direction, favorite scenes, behind-the-scenes stories, alternate casting choices, and why the movie remains one of the coolest studio films ever made. From the Bellagio fountains to the final heist reveal, we revisit a modern classic that still feels effortlessly entertaining.
This week, we revisit Dazed and Confused—a film that captures the feeling of being caught between youth and adulthood with surprising honesty.We discuss the film’s loose, hangout-style structure, its unforgettable characters, and why it resonates even more with time. What seems like a simple night out becomes something much more: a snapshot of a moment you can’t get back.
This week on Gonna See My Friends, we’re heading back to the classroom (kind of) with Summer School—the laid-back 1987 comedy that mixes beach vibes, oddball students, and one very reluctant teacher.What starts as an easy summer gig turns into something unexpectedly fun, with a cast of characters that steal every scene and a story that’s equal parts goofy and heartfelt.We’re talking favorite moments, standout characters, and why this one is always a good time to throw on.
Join Toby and Stephen as they discuss the 1984 movie, Michael Crichton directed movie, Runaway! Starring Tome Selleck, Cynthia Rhodes, and Gene Simmons.
Join the fellas as they talk about the 1983 John Badham Classic film, WarGames!!
This week on Gonna See My Friends, we go back to where it all began with James Cameron’s The Terminator — a gritty, low-budget sci-fi thriller that feels more like a horror movie than a blockbuster franchise starter. Before Judgment Day, before T2, this was a relentless, neon-soaked nightmare about fate, time travel, and a machine that simply will not stop.Stephen and Toby break down Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic performance as the ultimate unstoppable villain, Linda Hamilton’s transformation into Sarah Connor, and why this film still hits just as hard today. We dig into the time travel paradoxes, the emotional core of Kyle Reese, and how this movie quietly launched one of the most influential sci-fi franchises of all time.Is The Terminator actually a horror movie? Does the timeline hold up? And is this the rare film that didn’t need a sequel?All that and more on this week’s episode.#theterminator #terminator #jamescameron #arnoldschwarzenegger #lindahamilton #scifi #80smovies #moviepodcast
