Too Old or Pure Gold Movie Podcast

TOPG Ep 58: Rumble in the Bronx

This week, we leap off rooftops and into shopping carts with Rumble in the Bronx (1995), the Jackie Chan breakout hit that brought his signature blend of action and comedy to American audiences. With wild stunts and awkward dubbing, we ask: does this martial arts mayhem still pack a punch, or is it just a bruised time capsule? Hosts: Olen Vanderleeden & Mathew Stockton Co-Hosts: Sean & Anthony

TOPG Ep 57: Bloodsport

This week, we enter the underground world of full-contact, no-rules martial arts with Bloodsport (1988). Jean-Claude Van Damme high-kicks his way through the legendary Kumite in a movie packed with slow-motion splits, dramatic grunts, and some very questionable training methods. Does this cult favorite still hit hard, or has it aged like a bruised banana? Time to find out: Too Old or Pure Gold?  Hosts: Olen Vanderleeden & Mathew Stockton Co-Hosts: Sean & Anthony

TOPG Ep 56: Independence Day

Aliens. Explosions. Jeff Goldblum uploading a virus with a 90s laptop. This week, we revisit Independence Day (1996), the blockbuster that blew up the White House and made Will Smith a one-liner legend. Does this sci-fi disaster classic still bring the fireworks, or has time zapped its power? Suit up and join us as we ask: Too Old or Pure Gold? Hosts: Olen Vanderleeden & Mathew Stockton Co-Hosts: Will Corry

TOPG Ep 55: Dirty Dancing

This week, we revisit Dirty Dancing (1987), the coming-of-age dance romance that made hearts race and boosted watermelon sales. With Patrick Swayze’s smooth moves, Jennifer Grey’s transformation, and one of the most iconic lift scenes in movie history, we ask: does this summer romance still sweep us off our feet, or is it stuck in the corner of 80s nostalgia? Let’s find out: Too Old or Pure Gold?  Hosts: Olen Vanderleeden & Matthew Stockton Co-Hosts: Will Corry, Jessica, Nicole

TOPG Ep 54: Blue Thunder

This week we take flight with Blue Thunder (1983). With cutting-edge (for the time) surveillance tech and some heavy 80s paranoia, does this action-thriller soar, or should it have been grounded back in the Reagan era? Strap in as we find out: Too Old or Pure Gold? Hosts: Olen Vanderleeden & Matthew Stockton Co-Hosts: Anthony & Clef Seeley
