Modern Technology Watches – Episode 104 – The Goonies (1985)

On this episode of Modern Technology Watches Rob shows Gila 1985’s piratey-wish-fulfillment adventure The Goonies, and they discover together whether the old swashes can still be suitably buckled today.

Special shoutout to our pals at A Match Made In Space, a couple-hosted movie podcast which was pretty much the direct inspiration for Modern Technology Watches! They specifically do 1980s movies, and are well worth a listen if you enjoy our show.

Please note: this film, and therefore this discussion about it, contains a surprising level of adult content for a kids’ movie. Listener discretion advised.

Modern Technology Watches – Episode 103 – Rocketman (2019)

Rob and Gila shake up the Modern Technology Watches format and go to their local cinema to catch a film neither of them has already seen, 2019’s Elton John biopic Rocketman.

Please note: the movie is R-rated, so our discussion of it is adult enough to keep up. Listener discretion advised.

Modern Technology Watches – Episode 102 – The Ten (2007)

In this special Shavuot episode of Modern Technology Watches Gila introduces Rob to the 2007 David Wain film The Ten, an anthology of comedy sketches based on the Ten Commandments.

PLEASE NOTE: This episode recaps an R-rated film involving very adult and probably-offensive subject matter. Listener discretion is advised.

Modern Technology Watches – Episode 101 – Lifeboat (1944)

Today we premiere the second in our range of podcasts.
