GMG Presents Speak Easy Movie Reviews

Ep 4. You Done Hurt My Dick Hand

This episode sees the trio dial up the suspense with Phone Booth, the taut thriller that proves a ringing phone can ruin your day. Our three middle-aged amateurs attempt to stay on the line as they unpack Colin Farrell’s trapped performance, Kiefer Sutherland’s disembodied menace, and the surprisingly tense logistics of standing still for 80 minutes! QUOTES “I Can’t think of a Colin that I like…” - Mark “You can relate to him… He’s just a guy who goes to work every day and does shit…” - Gary “When you watch it the second time, you blink in different places…” - Greg

Ep 5. Denzel Is Our Secret Sponsor

The trio takes on The Negotiator, where Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey face off in a hostage thriller full of double-crosses, tense phone calls, and enough shouting to rattle office windows. Our three middle-aged amateurs try to piece together the twists without losing track of who’s bluffing whom, while debating whether the movie is a smart chess match or just an excuse for dramatic desk-flipping! QUOTES “Denzel and I…” - Gary “That wasn’t a comedy…?!” - Greg “It is just Samuel L Jackson putting everybody on trial!” - Mark

Ep 6. Hawking For Game

This episode see the gang crack open the chaotic treasure chest that is Hudson Hawk. With Bruce Willis juggling cat burglars, cappuccinos, and a plot that feels like it was scribbled during a sugar rush, our three middle-aged amateurs do their best to make sense of it all. Is it a misunderstood cult comedy or just a bizarre misfire from the early ’90s? Expect baffled laughter, wild theories about what the filmmakers were thinking, and more digressions than the movie’s own storyline. QUOTES “It’s a hodgepodge of insanity and shit…” - Greg “A bit from column A, a bit from column B put it all together… Incest!” - Mark “I don’t think you could make a film like this today…” - Gary

Ep 7. Hans Free

Buckle up as the trio boards Air Force One, the Harrison Ford action classic where the President himself throws punches and barks orders like an action hero-in-chief. Our three middle-aged amateurs wrestle with the film’s mix of patriotism, over-the-top villains, and improbably sturdy airplanes. Along the way, they debate whether Ford’s famous “Get off my plane!” line is cinema gold or just, not... QUOTES “That’s a lot of straight-to-video sales!” - Mark “Every time you say something, I expect there to be more…” - Gary “I’ve seen approximately 9 films… And 7 of them where for this podcast!” - Greg

Ep 8. You Can't Hear Jimi!

The crew hits the blacktop with White Men Can’t Jump; the early ’90s hoops comedy where trash talk is just as important as scoring points. Our three middle-aged amateurs reminisce about Wesley Snipes’ swagger, Woody Harrelson’s hustle, and the endless stream of wisecracks that make pickup basketball look like a full-contact comedy routine. QUOTES “This one is much easier to take than Above The Rim.” - Gary “Woody Harrelson had played some college ball…” - Mark “Two of them where in ‘Nam, the other was in a clinic…” - Greg
