If you’ve seen Bros: After the Screaming Stops, one of my favourite documentaries of the past 20 years, you’ll know that at one point, Bros were one of the biggest bands in the world. Certainly in Blighty, where they attracted Beatles or Take That-levels of fandom. I was never a fan back in the day, though I liked their iconic bangers. Hard to avoid them as in the late eighties, Matt and Luke Goss were everywhere, their faces adorning countless magazines and merch. 

What was really interesting was what happened after the band’s brightest moments of chart stardom. I was fascinated that Luke went off and became one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood, and if Guillermo del Toro loves an actor like Luke, all the more reason to praise him where it was due. And the fact Matt had 11 years in Las Vegas is extraordinary. Some acts would have trouble holding down a residency for 11 days, so when the chance came to see him live, it was a no-brainer. 

Give me The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra with any artist and I’m a happy camper, and that big band sound is phenomenal. And boy does Matt deliver on the promises he made. 

This is our chat from before that gig in April 2023, and it turned out to be one of the most interesting and honest interviews I’ve had in 30+ years.

Thanks to Matt for his time.

Nostalgiahhh 18

Welcome to another helping of chat, trivia, tunes and movie-related shenanigans from a guy dubbed by BBC Radio Kent: “Roger Crow - the man in the know”. 

(Still not sure why they used the Bergerac theme for three years as an intro to my weekly TV breakdown, but happy days regardless). 

Back to the present, and in the concluding part of a chat with ILM veteran Mark Siegel, he talks about some of his most memorable film projects, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture and David Lynch’s Dune, and how his hand wound up on a US postage stamp. 

Mark can also be seen in a film by insanely talented siblings Claire and Anthony Bueno. In Nostalgiahhh 18, they discuss their book and documentary Cleanin’ Up the Town, essential assessments of the making of the original Ghostbusters, and a must for fans of the greatest supernatural comedy saga ever made. 

Here's the Bueno Productions website, if you want to learn more.

An online Watch Party of Cleanin' Up the Town, a screening of the film with commentary by the filmmakers, including a preview of new project Too Hot to Handle: Remembering Ghostbusters II, takes place on Saturday 29th November 2025 at 7.30pm GMT. 

The book, Cleanin' Up the Town, can be found at

And is also available on Amazon (the popular online ‘bookstore’ - you may have heard of it). 

Your host also welcomes you to the jungle for a look back on the making of the original Predator. The full version by Roger Crow can be found in Infinity magazine.
