We’re back for Part 2 of The Old Skool Movements Podcast school-days special!

This time, it's all about the lunchtime legends and afternoon vibes. We kick things off with classic playground games—had, kiss chase, and a bit of mischief—before diving into the contents of our iconic lunch boxes and showing off the ultimate pencil cases. Then it’s decision time: art or PE?

We round things off with the playground economy of trading cards and stickers, all before the final bell rings and we head home.

If you remember Fun Snaps, or friction burns from the playground, then this one’s for you!

In this nostalgic episode of The Old Skool Movements Podcast, we rewind the clock and take you back to those unforgettable primary school days. From cornflakes or toast in the morning, to the walk—or sprint—to school, we paint the full picture of a classic school-day morning. Join us for a trip through the school gates into assembly halls filled with iconic hymns and songs, then sit tight as we pick between English or maths in that familiar classroom setting. We wrap up just as the lunch bell rings, saving the afternoon antics for Part 2. Grab your book bag and let’s go back in time!

Hop in the DeLorean and crank up the cassette deck — we’re heading back to a time when movie magic was made with muscle, charm, and a whole lotta heart.

In this week’s episode of The Old Skool Movements Podcast, we’re taking a neon-lit trip through the golden age of silver screen icons — the legacy actors and films that defined a generation and still echo today.

From the proton-pack power of Ghostbusters, the galaxy-shaking saga of Star Wars, and the explosive grit of Rambo, to the underdog fire of Rocky — we’re revisiting the legends who made us believe in heroes. We’ll dive into the all-time greats like Eddie Murphy, Michael Keaton, and Harrison Ford — actors who didn’t just play roles, they owned the decade.

Expect laughs, and a whole lot of love for the era when movies were bold, loud, and unforgettable. Whether you grew up rewinding VHS tapes or you’re just discovering these classics for the first time — this episode is your retro rewind fix.

💥 So grab your popcorn, dust off your old movie posters, and join us for a radical ride through cinematic history — because the ‘80s never really left, and legends? They never fade.

Bust Ups and Punch Ups

Step into the ring with for our Bust Ups and Punch Ups episode, its the ultimate throwback podcast where we dial up the most iconic, off-the-wall, and downright outrageous battles of the ‘80s!

Hosted by your battle-tested guides, this show takes you back to a time when fists did the talking and beefs were settled without a weapon in sight.

From the thunderous clashes between the Hulk and Rocky to the streetwise showdowns in the alleys of Beat Street, we break down the epic brawls that defined a generation. We're talking everything from hip hop rivalries to those unforgettable movie bullies who made us want to swing back.

Got a beef?

You didn’t just talk it out — you *battled* it out!

We’ll pit the best punch-ups against each other in a head-to-head *versus* style, and bring those outrageous, mullet-wearing movie moments back to life.

So, tighten up your high-tops, throw on that leather jacket, and get ready to rumble — because in the ‘80s, if you wanted respect, you had to earn it with a knockout.

Tune in to *Bust Ups and Punch Ups*—where fists fly, and retro nostalgia hits harder than a roundhouse kick.

‘Old Skool Movements Podcast’ presents a ‘Podcasthon Special’ in support of ‘Lives Not Knives’

Back in the day, if you had a problem with someone at school, you’d probably settle it with a quick scrap behind the bike sheds, a game of "next goal wins" on the football pitch or a winner-takes-all match on Street Fighter II at the arcade. The beef was settled, and by the next day, you were best mates again.

But times have changed, and so has the way young people handle conflicts.

In this episode, we’ll dive into how beef was handled when we were kids against the harsh realities that today’s youth face with the rise of local crime, social media pressures, and a culture where carrying weapons has sadly become the norm for some.

We look back on old-school playground justice, the unwritten rules of respect, and how things have spiralled into something far more dangerous in modern times.

We’ll shine a light on the incredible work of ‘Lives Not Knives’, sharing their mission and how you can help support their cause.

Can we help change the mindset of young people today?

Let’s talk about it.
