Patreon Bonus #2 - Lea Thompson Apr 05, 2017

Show notes

One of the most important ingredients in some of the '80s most memorable movies sits down with Drew and Scott to discuss her work in multiple classics, including Back to the Future, Some Kind of Wonderful and... yes, Howard the Duck, too.

March 1981 Apr 03, 2017

Show notes

What do we have this month? Man, what DON'T we have this month? You want a weird uncomfortable sexual triangle between Gene Hackman, Barbra Streisand, and Dennis Quaid? Nope, us neither, but you're getting it anyway! Either Sam Neill or Bill Cosby is the devil this month... or maybe both of them are!

We've got Tobe Hooper, Gary Coleman, Elliott Gould, Sally Field, Jack Nicholson, Jessica Lange, early Jim Jarmusch, and a comedy that Stanley Kubrick once described as "the perfect movie." Yep. It's March 1981.

Patreon Bonus #1 - Nancy Allen Mar 22, 2017

Show notes

A lovely conversation with the woman who helped make canon entries like Blow Out, RoboCop, and Carrie into the classics they truly are.

February 1981 Mar 19, 2017

Show notes

Wanna know what the best film that came out this month was? Well, it certainly wasn't SPHINX, based on the Robin Cook book, but that's where our trip through the month begins. Peter Ustinov's almost cheerfully offensive CHARLIE CHAN film is this month, as is the fascinating Christopher Walken performance at the heart of DOGS OF WAR.

It's a pretty wild ride, including William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver, Paul Newman, a young Rachel Ticotin, Francois Truffaut, Toshiro Mifune, one of the biggest names in '80s comedy, and some tough talk about Ralph Bakshi.

January 1981 Mar 05, 2017

Show notes

Ahhhhh, January. Named for the Latin word for 'door,' this is the way into the second season of the show. Any film fan knows that January is a weird month for releases, and this is no exception.

Lily Tomlin's THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN, the ambitious Native American fantasy WINDWALKER, and David Cronenberg's SCANNERS are just a few of the diverse titles we cover this month!

The Best Of 1980 Feb 19, 2017

Show notes

Well, we're not going to give it away (Popeye) or tell you what might show up on this episode (The Shining) or even hint at a single title you'll hear us discuss (The Empire Strikes Back), but now that we've wrapped up our first year of the podcast, it's time to do a best of episode and decide what films from our most recent trip through 1980 are the ones that stick with us most (Used Cars).

December 1980 Feb 05, 2017

Show notes

Our 12th episode finally brings us to December of 1980, and not only is this is the best month of movies we've had to discuss yet, it's also the best episode we've done yet!

Seems fitting, right? After all, we get to talk about films like FLASH GORDON, RAGING BULL, NINE TO FIVE, ALTERED STATES, INSIDE MOVES, and, yes, Robert Altman's POPEYE. WHICH IS AWESOME. BECAUSE IT IS. AND WE WILL ACCEPT NO ARGUMENT ON THIS TOPIC.

But seriously, POPEYE rules.

November 1980 Jan 20, 2017

Show notes

Oh my god, it's really going to happen: We're going to wrap up the first year of this project, and it's starting to feel... really comfortable.

Do you have trouble telling GATES OF HEAVEN and HEAVEN'S GATE apart? You won't after this episode. Have you ever seen the Golan-Globus musical THE APPLE? We have, and we still can't believe it's real. And if you want a great example of high art and low art existing side by side, we're doing both KAGEMUSHA and SHOGUN ASSASSIN. It's November 1980, and it rules!

October 1980 Jan 08, 2017

Show notes

Can you believe we're almost done with 1980? It's flying by, and after a short holiday break, we are back with a jam-packed episode that covers everything from TERROR TRAIN to Frank Sinatra's final starring role, with a beloved romance starring Christopher Reeve, Paul Simon's most personal film, and David Lynch's mainstream breakthrough as well. Dig in, because this one covers almost 20 films.

September 1980 Dec 12, 2016

Show notes

We've got our sound issues all worked out finally, and just in time for one of the strangest episodes yet. Woody Allen gets all Fellini on us, Walter Matthau plays spy games, and Marty Feldman brings us Richard Pryor as a computer named G.O.D. Bette Midler, Robert Altman, Mary Tyler Moore, and Jason Robards as Howard Hughes. That's not enough for you? Come on! How much awesome can we give you in one week?
