    EP#169 - Leon: The Professional
    Oct 3 2025

    In this episode, Charlie and George are rambling about retro 90s hit, Leon aka Leon: The Professional. Considering this was a film the boys have watched over the years again and again, gaining access to the fully uncut international version of the film has left them as traumatised as character Mathilda's neighbours!

    From scenes that should have probably remained on the cutting room floor, to the mesmerising Gary Oldman to answering the age-old question of is someone ever too old to get married.

    The usual bad impressions and coulda-woulda-shouldas ensue, we don't know why it took us so long to cover this on Retro Ramble but we sure are glad we did.

    Enjoy, review and please share!

    EP#167 - The Living Daylights (1987)
    Sep 5 2025

    It's down, down to wire, as Charlie and George are back in Bond territory, tackling 1987's The Living Daylights!

    They discuss the debut of (the very underrated) Timothy Dalton and taking Bond back to his gritty roots. There are the typical Bond tropes to cover, including memorable action sequences, dastardly henchmen, and a synth-heavy John Barry score, amongst a very convoluted plot!

    So set your hopes up way too high - the living's in the way we diiiiiiiie!
