Pee Wee's Big Adventure - 40's On The 80's Film Review

Season 1 · Episode 19

Thursday, November 21, 2024 • Duration 01:21:37

Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer!

Well, we've pulled Pee Wee out of the dark and into the sunlight and for anyone who has never experienced the 'man-child' creation of Paul Reubens.... I honestly don't know how to prepare you for this Big Adventure. But I will say that if you listen to this podcast, you WILL be better equipped to enjoy this creation of Tim Burton in his early days.

This is one of Ricky's all time favorite films and you can hear the joy in his voice. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Commando (Revisited) - 40's On The 80's Film Review

Season 1 · Episode 18

Thursday, November 14, 2024 • Duration 01:03:52

Like Commander Ace of Megaforce fame once said, "It's on the wheel.... it all comes around!"

And the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic action film 'Commando' is just ONE example of something being too good to not have more than one conversation about. So if you joined us for our first official podcast episode, we would love to hear from you what you think about the differences between that discussion on Commando and this one.

Film Sequels - 40's On The 80's

Season 1 · Episode 17

Thursday, November 7, 2024 • Duration 47:12

It's frequently said that sequels don't live up to the original in the series. And since we are ONLY in the business of cliche's.... we're happy to jump neck deep into the pool of things we don't like.

Some characters are welcome to come back knocking on our doors, but others..... their first visit was great but they when they keep coming back.... and the visits get more and more uncomfortable.... it becomes evident that their reason for existing is purely to try and squeeze every penny out of a great idea.

Join us for some great back and forth and see if we mention any of your favorites or most hated films!

Halloween - 40's On The 80's Film Review

Season 1 · Episode 16

Thursday, October 31, 2024 • Duration 01:31:59

Knock, Knock...

Who's there?

The Boogeyman....

Boogeyman, who?

Boogeyman is gonna get you!!!

With a gentle dose of violence, great use of musical score and the highest tech in cameras at the time, we LOVE this holiday classic by the great John Carpenter! One of his stipulations was that his name should appear with the film title in the credits.

Rob and Rick help guide Johann along the leaf filled streets of Haddonfield (California) where pumpkins were in short supply and the physics of palm trees dropping leaves has YET to be explained.

So we hope your costumes are ready to go, hope your house is appropriately decorated and you DAMN sure better have some treats to hand out when the costumed folk arrive at your door! Happy Halloween everyone.

Fright Night - 40's On The 80's Film Review

Season 1 · Episode 15

Thursday, October 24, 2024 • Duration 01:12:20

Back in 1985, we learned that being a nosey neighbor can be bad for your health.... and the health of your friends, your car and several nameless ladies of the night! Charlie Brewster, who is soooo cool, is distracted from his pursuit of cancelling his virginity by the suave Jerry Dandritch who moves in next door and enjoys being a bit of an exhibitionist for his teenage voyeur.

Dan the Man isn't joining us on this venture so the use of the Queen's English will be put on hold in favor of us American cousins who can drive trucks, watch wrastlin' and swill beer!

If you've never seen this version of Fright Night, give it a watch! It has some great moments, fun special effects, a surprisingly engaging soundtrack and an homage to all of those late and great night horror tv shows. We all have to have faith for this to work!

80's Horror - 40's On The 80's Genre Review

Season 1 · Episode 14

Thursday, October 17, 2024 • Duration 01:05:38

For the month of October, when so many of us enjoy venturing into the 'darker corner' of the video store (and no.... not the corner that was blocked off by glass beads in the door way), it seemed proper to highlight horror films of this great decade.

Danny leads this discussion of blood, gore and video-tape from the era we consider to be the center of OUR universe. From ground breaking special effects to the cultural commentary left over from the Viet Nam war and the suspicions cultivated into society after having been lied to by so-called 'trusted agencies,' there is a treasure trove of art for us to view and review.

You may THINK you know horror films.... so join us for this discussion and see if we get it right or fire off some messages our way to let us know if we got something wrong. And then be sure to open your puzzle box and file a complaint with our (pin)head of customer success. He LOVES interacting with the public.

House On Haunted Hill (1959) Watch Party - 40's On The 80's

Season 1 · Episode 13

Thursday, October 10, 2024 • Duration 01:31:20

Yeah.... so it wasn't filmed in the 80's. BUT.... we found a way to connect it to the 80's! Tune in and see how we did it.

This special episode was a journey suggested by our man, Rick, and I was happy to go along with the ride. Anyone who ever spent any time watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 would love to get some friends together to watch this one. And if no one is available.... join Rick and myself!

So cue up the scream track, get ready for lots of sarcastic remarks and jump right into the pool of acid as we continue to celebrate one of our favorite times of the year.... Spooky Season!

The Burbs - 40's On The 80's Film Review

Season 1 · Episode 12

Thursday, October 3, 2024 • Duration 49:09

Leaving on vacation has it's risks, the same as any kind of travel. So it would make sense that having a 'Stay-Cation' where you putter around the house would be safer. WRONG! Especially if you live on a cul-de-sac where one of your neighbors turns out to be a legitimate family of crazies.

So what do you do when confronted with odd behavior? Zero curb appeal? Bringing down property values? Well... if you are Ray Peterson (played by Tom Hanks), you join forces with other neighbors and begin an investigation. It's a serious thing to share a property line. If you're lucky, that relationship can be balanced but that's not always the case and when you decide to begin digging... you may not like the femur bone you uncover.

Join Ricky and Johann as they visit the suburbs and try and decide if Satan is good.... and if he is, indeed, a pal.

Tin Foil Hat Episode - 40's On The 80's Discuss JFK, CIA and The Scorpions

Season 1 · Episode 11

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 19:18

Every now and then... one of our Monkey Holes strays so far off path that we can't include it as an episode about something we love from the 80's. But when it's too good to just drop on the cutting room floor... it CAN become an episode all it's own.

So keep an eye out your window after you listen to this episode... keep an eye out for strange looking vans parked in your neighborhood with non-descript people in sunglasses just chilling. 'They' may be on to us! Grab your tin foil hat and join in our conversation and as always... you are always welcome to leave a comment or ask a question as we would love to hear from you!

The Running Man - 40's On The 80's Film Review

Season 1 · Episode 10

Thursday, September 19, 2024 • Duration 01:15:53

Prophecy in Science Fiction and Film..... how many things have we seen in film that eventually came to be? I'm still waiting to be able to do a hover conversion on my car... and whereas many of the cool things we've seen in Sci-Fi films would be great, I feel that some of the less glamorous things of Sci-Fi seem to be turning to reality. Films like 'Idiocracy' and today's gem, 'The Running Man,' seem to be closer to reality than any version of Star Trek or Star Wars I've seen.

In this film, based off a novel by Stephen King (when he was using the pen name 'Bachman') tells the story of a near-future where there media seems to control everything. Even goes so far as to mention the President of the United States having an agent that works with the largest studio in this story. Arnold plays a character named Ben Richards who stands up to 'The Man' and gets put in prison for it. His subsequent jail-break gives him a brief taste of freedom until he is recaptured and spotted by the host of the world's number one game show, 'The Running Man,' as a potential contestant.

Richards Dawson does an amazing job as the sleeze-ball, Damon Killian, who some say was never really a good actor.... but is GREAT at being a sleeze-ball! This film has some of Arnold's greatest one-liners and some great action sequences. We hope you will visit the new episode and hear what we think about this one.
