The Movies of 1985
In season 1 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the movies of 1999, reckoned by many to be the greatest year of movies of all time. This season we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movies of 1985, taking the opportunity to watch moves that we missed in our youth because they were something for the oldies. Now WE’RE the old ones!

This week Jason and Craig travel back an extra 25 years to the sensual moodiness of 1974 suburban Detroit in Sophia Coppola's impressive directorial debut "The Virgin Suicides" before travelling back even further in time to the very popular yet historically inaccurate bardwashing tale of "Shakespeare in Love".

In this week's episode badly animated versions of Craig and Jason travel to a small town in snowy Colorado to find out what happens when underage kids view sweary Canadian movies in "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" before they swim with the sky-whales and ride the subways of Gershwin's NYC in Disneys wonderful "Fantasia 2000".

This week Jason gets deep into numerology, probing the inner workings of his bingo machine to reveal an arthouse mashup of the previous two movies, The Matrix and Fight Club, in Darren Aranofsky's debut "Pi", followed by Craig's probing of the manufactured gross-out cringe-fest of "American Pie".

This week Craig befriends Jason, a much cooler version of himself who introduces him to the world of challenging arthouse cinema as the pair splice a kranzky into David Fincher's "Fight Club" before Jason follows Craig around with a video camera and livestreams his everyday life while the pair delve into Rob Howard's "EDtv".

Craig dons his sunglasses and learns kung fu so that he can ride the Nebuchadnezzar into the pre-Olympics Sydney of 1999, apparently the epitome of civilisation, in the Wachowskis classic "The Matrix", before Jason returns to 1937 LA to pick up girls in the multi-layered Inception-esque "The Thirteenth Floor".
