80s Cheese Movie Review Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

As we file this cast under 'H' for toy we celebrate the '80s classic that is Val Kilmer's stardom vehicle - Real Genius. I do wish the world worked this way and that I was as smart as Lazlo. However, the reality is not so much, so we must live through the gang and take it as it comes! Kayla's Cheese rating = 5 Kidnap Countdown = 0 '80s Style Kidnappings!

The triumphant return of '80s Cheese Movie Review is upon us with the release of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! La enjoyed this one and can you believe it she thought it held up well. We also tackled the tons of emails awaiting us from back in October to just before the cast was recorded! We love you guys and are happy to be back!

I tried, I did, but this week got away from me and somehow we got on the topic of TV remotes and Bob Ross. There was some chatting about The Karate Kid in there I swear... just not a ton of it and not all together.

This week we break down this beloved 1986 'Flight of the Navigator' goodness with Kayla's favorite Uncle - Beef. We are also schooled on "Hot Jeff" which we didn't know was a thing.

This time on our walk through the cheese that is the '80s we venture into the 1986 robotic goodness of Short Circuit! Sean laments a perfectly good Firebird being 'disassembled' and his love for the Chevy Astrovan, Jake wonders at how much they spent on effects and La thinks this is basically a live-action Wally.

We continue the '80s John Cusack and Steve Holland madness with the 1986 offering of 'One Crazy Summer' this time on the cheese. Yep, it's Nantucket's finest yacht race, girls who are just plain trouble, and a Teddy Bear that La spotted right away. Throw in a little teenage shoe shaming and a new top 40's B '80s song that's on La's mind and you've got a show! Kayla's Cheese rating = 1.

This time out we cover the cult '80s offering of Better Off Dead. That's right imaginary perfect women, burgers that pull, and unrelenting paper boys and all this 1985 gem is probably La's favorite movie we've watched thus far!

Join our gang as we mostly stay on topic for close to an entire hour before we run off the rails while we review the 1988 Classic Die Hard. Yes that most '80s of '80s action movie that would forever change the way Christmas time film is judged by. La has a lot to say about this one but just be glad you aren't stuck in the tower with her - she will leave you.  Kayla's Cheese rating = 5.

We go back and take a look at 1984's Gremlins this week! Sean had never seen the movie before, La loves Gizmo and Jake wishes this one stayed in his memory as some things just don't hold up as well as you think. Kayla's Cheese rating = 3.

In what is going to work out to be our very late Christmas arc we start off with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! Honestly, what Sean started off with is Kayla yelling at Chevy Chase the entire movie and not really getting what was going on. However, the bright spot for La wound up being little Leonard.
