August 1980 Nov 28, 2016

Show notes

Scott is halfway out of the well! And just in time for a very strange episode, featuring films like SMOKEY & THE BANDIT II, THE FIENDISH PLOT OF DR. FU MANCHU, and XANADU. This is the first appearance of Jackie Chan on the podcast, the first appearance of Tom Hanks, and we even cover two (yes, TWO) Chuck Norris movies.

July 1980 Nov 14, 2016

Show notes

First things first: you'll notice that Scott Weinberg was trapped in a well for this week's episode. He's fine! We've got him out of the well, and he's been reunited with his family, and the dog who led everyone to where he was trapped is going to get a parade and you're all invited! In the meantime, we cover July 1980, which includes CADDYSHACK, AIRPLANE!, USED CARS, and much more, so check that out.

June 1980 Oct 31, 2016

Show notes

This show just keeps getting better. Where else are you going to hear a conversation about THE BLUES BROTHERS, Clint Eastwood, Herbie Goes Bananas, the wacko Bermuda-Triangle-lost-pirates movie The Island, and Richard Rush's strange and beautiful The Stunt Man? Nowhere, that's where! Nowhere except '80s ALL OVER!

May 1980 Oct 17, 2016

Show notes

Oh my god, it's finally here. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.

...And if that were the only thing we were talking about this month, that would be awesome. BUT IT'S NOT. Try on FRIDAY THE 13th. Or THE SHINING. Or BON VOYAGE, CHARLIE BROWN (AND DON'T COME BACK). I mean, come on. Alan Parker's FAME. This is how good May is. ALL THE GOOD! ALL OF IT, I TELL YOU!

April 1980 Oct 03, 2016

Show notes

This was always the month that gave us stress when we were first talking about this idea, because it's got the fewest new releases for any month of the year, and it's not a great batch.

Still, we've got Dabney Coleman, a weird Disney misfire, Don Knotts and Tim Conway together, and the giant freakshow that is James Coburn. Check this one out!

March 1980 Sep 19, 2016

Show notes

Holy cow, these just keep getting better. We've got LITTLE DARLINGS. We've got FORBIDDEN ZONE. We've got James Caan and Sissy Spacek and Gilda Freakin' Radner. Oh... and we've got a little something called MAD MAX. Seriously. Why aren't you already listening?

February 1980 Sep 04, 2016

Show notes

This time, we're looking at American Gigolo, John Carpenter's The Fog, Fatso, Hero At Large, Midnight Madness, Foxes, Cruising, Maniac, Saturn 3, Tom Horn, Middle-Age Crazy, Simon, and Caligula.

January 1980 Aug 31, 2016

Show notes

This isn't really the show yet. The intro doesn't sound the same. The sound doesn't sound the same (it'll take awhile before that gets locked in, and even then, Scott falls into a well at one point). And you'll notice this is a whole month of movies done in less than 40 minutes. That sure as hell never happens again, either. These are the humble beginnings of '80s All Over, a five-year mission that began with, of all the films; CAN’T STOP THE MUSIC, THE CHANGELING, DIE LAUGHING, HANGAR 18, HARDLY WORKING, HOW TO BEAT THE HIGH COST OF LIVING, THE BLACK MARBLE, and JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.
