Episode 909: Box Office Autopsy: To Live and Die in L.A.

It's Christmas Eve and we're waiting for Santa to show up by watching the iconic 1984 slasher "Silent Night, Deadly Night." We talk about the movie's traumatic storyline, bloody kills, and why it got a big backlash. Listen now.

EP 277: Silent Night, Deadly Night

This song is a tribute to Jean-Claude Van Damme from the movies such as No Retreat No Surrender, Bloodsport and Kickboxer.

80's Van Damme

This week, we're driving for the mob with 1989's "Cookie." We talk about how great Emily Lloyd, Peter Falk and Dianne Wiest are in this charming gangster comedy co-written by Nora Ephron and directed by Susan Seidelman. Listen now.

Getting Weird, with Ashley Good
Episode 075 - I'm Not the NPC, You Are!

This week, I talk about how odd it is that villains in 80s movies were always financially successful, whether or not Chat GPT thinks I'm an NPC, and prudes on both side of the political spectrum. This episode has some major crackhead energy, but it's because I had just pounded a matcha and had an hour of free time to record! I swear!

Episode 075 - I'm Not the NPC, You Are!

This week, we're going across the pond with the 1987 British coming-of-age hit "Wish You Were Here." We talk about Emily Lloyd's breakout performance, our favorite post-war swear words, and how this movie hit us each differently while making both of us crave Fish & Chips. Listen now.

Ep 288: Wish You Were Here (1987)

This week, we're setting off squibs with 1986's "F/X." We talk about this movie's perfect cast, great action, surprising twists and more reasons why we love it. Listen now.

EP 289: F/X (1986)

This week, we remember the iconic Wings Hauser with a look at the low-budget 1988 action schlocker "Dead Man Walking." We talk about the movie's triple threat of  Wings as anti-hero Luger, Brion James as psycho convict Decker and Jeffrey Combs as "Chaz" in a plague-infested wasteland that's a little too close to our present day reality. Listen now.

EP 290: Dead Man Walking (1988)

You know those movies that you loved as a kid? What ever happened to them? Maybe you remember grabbing a random VHS cover off the shelves at Blockbuster, but you can't quite remember the title. Or perhaps you loved a strangely specific scene from some bizarre film your cousin owned, but you can't really recall the plot. We've got good news for you. In Throwback Theater, our four hosts will track down and revisit these old movies to answer one question: Does It Hold Up? Each episode, a new movie will be reviewed and discussed as mostly sober adults to figure out what we remember, what we liked about it in the first place, and how we feel about it now. Join us in our quest to relive (or maybe destroy) our childhood.
