Good Times Great Movies — TV & Film
Good Times Great Movies

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven’t seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we’ve never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

Latest Episodes:

Episode 156: Night Shift (1982) May 14, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Doug's not quite sure what the issue is with the term 'prostitution' but is really just here to talk abotu Night Court, Jamie discusses how a Funfetti cake is like this movie and boobs, and we both ty and get to the bottom of just exactly what friends are for. Stuff your sleeves with tissues, wrap yourself in an enormous fur coat, feed a tuna fish some mayonaaise, and join us for our discussion of the 'wacky until it's not' 1982 Ron Howard joint, Night Shift!

Episode 154: Lace - Part 2 (1984) Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Doug imagines Lace as a Choose Your Own Adventure book...and of course he's killed by a space vampire, Jamie assumes that had HGTV been around in 1984, Maxine would have her own scene, and how did it take 3+ hours for us to talk about the MTV series, Teen Mom? It's taken us 4 hours of watching and another 4 hours of talking but we've finally reached the end of our journey searching for Lucinda Lace!

Episode 154: Lace - Part 1 (1984) Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Jamie tries to do a French accent worse than Phoebe Cates and totally fails. Doug is amazed at one point that Angela Lansbury's still telling this story and we both are exhausted after jet setting around the globe and through time watching a porn star potentially sllep with her step brother and father. This is a wild ride as we dig into the first half of the television mini series, Lace! We will discuss the second half next week.

Episode 153: The Neverending Story (1984) Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Jamie wonders just how sad this horse must have been to sink in that mud, Doug is convinced that the Child Princess sounds like Zelda Rubinstein and we both wonder why anyone thought it would be a good idea to put such prominent nipples on the statues in this kids movie! Jamie's in her glory in this fantasy world and Doug's walking on eggshells trying no to make her mad as we cover The Neverending Story!

Episode 151: The Last Dragon (1985) Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Jamie wonders just how often break dancing sessions broke out in movie theater isles in the 80s, Doug's musical taste is once again in question as he enjoys the villian's songs/videos, and the two marvel at the lack of chemistry between this film's leads. Grab a bucket of popcorn and some chopsticks while joining us for a discussion of the madness that is, The Last Dragon!

Episode 150: Swamp Thing (1982) Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Doug realizes late into the recording that Adrienne Barbeau and Bridget Bardot are two very different people. Jamie contemplates the incestuous relationship between Ray Wise and his sister, and we are both baffled by just how much change cable has on her. Come along with us as we don't have to try all that hard to bring more energy than both the Swamp Thing and Jude as we finally enter the DC universe with, Swamp Thing!

Episode 149: Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986) Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

In the latest episode, Jamie corrects Doug when he refers to 14-year-old girls as women and we both agree to simply refer to the dad from 7th Heaven as a child predator for the duration of the episode. Doug also begins listing his likes and dislikes for his upcomming Playboy/Girl spread and Jamie thinks John Lovitz did Subway commercials. And after recording the episode, she submitted the proof. Come along with us as we explore yet another in the seemingly infinite pile of 80s spy triller comedies, Jumpin' Jack Flash!

Show notes

In the latest episode, we both go deep into Popeye's 'deformities', Doug wonders how many people in this town he's wronged in the past, Jamie consides just how many STDs Popeye may be carrying, and all Doug wants to see is the Sea Hag. Come along to the shanty town prison built on Malta that hosts random boxing matches and listen as we discuss the baffeling Altman film, Popeye!
