Episode 186: Episode 186: One Crazy Summer (1986) Jun 10, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Jamie tries to weigh exactly how much of this movie is crazy and how much is Summer, Doug marvels at just how great Jeremy Piven is at playing a piece of garbage in movies (and tv), and we both find our specific areas of expertise (for Jamie it's singing and for Doug it's nautical knowledge). Bathe with your electronic devices, beat the hell out of some little fat kid, and join us as we struggle to find the humor in Savage Steve Holland's follow-up to Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer!

Episode 185: Episode 185: Lifeforce (1985) May 27, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Doug makes the bold assertion that this is a feminist film, Jamie wants to make it clear to all listeners that she is NOT an astronaut, and we both agree that hot space vampires could prove to be the downfall of humanity. Grab your dido-sword, bag up that human-sized bat, and join us as we celebrate 7 years of the podcast with a discussion of Tobe Hooper's follow up to Poltergeist, Lifeforce!

Episode 184: Episode 184: House (1985) May 13, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Jamie draws parallels between William Katt, Bull from Night Court to Forest Gump and Bubba (that shrimp obsessed guy), Doug focusses a bit too much on the real estate portion of the movie, and we both agree that writing a book on traumatic experiences in Vietnam might not be this character's focus. Tip your 'grocery boy', put a fence around your pool, and join us as we discuss a movie that tries everything and fails at every attempt, House!

Episode 183: Episode 183: Into the Night (1985) Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Doug wants everyone to know just what David Bowie needs to do to get him going, Jamie discussed LA geography (what everyone outside of LA wants to hear), and we both swing wildly between being armed by, and made very uncomfortable by, this film. Get a few hours of shut eye, dust off that old Body by Jake VHS tape, and join us as we discuss a wonderful cinematic pairing of leads in Into the Night!

Episode 182: Episode 182: Johnny Dangerously (1984) Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Jamie refers to prison garb as 'Jail Onesies' and sees no issue with that, Doug doesn't know exactly who to root for in Goodfellas but does a pretty spot-on Karen, and we both have way too much fun talking about the Testicular Institute of Atlanta. Polish your turtle (not a sex thing), put on your newsie cap, and join us as we discuss a patron selected and Jamie favorite, Johnny Dangerously!

Episode 181: Episode 181: Solarbabies (1986) Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

I guess it's like a glowing power orb or an alien or pure goodness or something like that. None of that matters because the only important thing is that half the cast of The Lost Boys rollerblade around a bunch.
Actually, Doug and Jamie have no idea what that thing is or what's going on with this movie because we're not watching it. Apple Fool's everyone! Nick and Jordan can try and muddle through this one.
If you are interested in what we have to say and what we're doing this time around, then check out the 90's movie podcast, Filmshake, where we're talking about the Sly Stallone/Golden Girls mash-up, 'Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!' and Doug reviews 'Spice World'!
We'll all be back to our regular shows next time. Hope you enjoy this little switcharoo!

Episode 180: Episode 180: The Worst Witch (1986) Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

We're dropping a bit of a bonus episode today during our normal week off. It's on the HBO/Disney/Canadian/British coproduction, The Worst Witch. Enjoy! We sure did.
Oh, and we want to apologize to any of our British listeners for these accents. We are truly sorry. To our southern US listeners, we nailed it!

Episode 179: Episode 179: She's Having a Baby (1988) Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Doug goes on and on about Kevin Bacon's beautifully gift-wrapped 'package', Jamie posits that an important character in the film probably isn't even real, and we both breathe sighs of relief the few times that Alec Baldwin shows up to breathe some life into this film. Get your turkey baster, arrange those pillows the way the doctor suggested and join us as we discuss the John Hughes 'classic, She's Having a Baby!

Episode 178: Episode 178: Best of the Best (1989) Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

On our latest episode, Jamie is shocked to find that the villain of the film wears an eye patch because he is blind in that eye, Doug continues his ongoing bit about Stephen Dorff and his string of E-Cigarette ads, and we both just marvel at Eric Roberts' career! Grab an ice cream cone, Irish coffee, and join us as we fly form an undisclosed part of the US to somewhere in Korea (we're assuming South) and discuss, Best of the Best!

Show notes

On our latest episode, Doug raps about different kinds of cereal, Jamie admits that because she is in fact a lady, she is contractually obligated to love Cool J, and we both fall head over heels for the Fat Boys...again! Put on your fur vest with nothing under it, iron your best newspaper skirt, and join us as we have such fun talking about a movie just overflowing with individuals who should not be acting, Krush Groove!
