Good Times Great Movies
Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello
Frequency: 1 episode/12d. Total Eps: 293

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?

Episode 260: 260: Missing in Action 2: The Beginning (1985)
Episode 260
vendredi 20 septembre 2024 • Duration 01:20:14
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug takes a break from the podcast to karate-kick his dog (joking), Jamie thinks that being submerged in mud in the humid Vietnamese jungle may actually be refreshing, and we both agree that this is a movie that caused us to swear off Chuck Norris films on this podcast. Cover yourself in worms, take a big bite of rat, and join us as we are absolutely baffled by the appeal of Mr. Norris while discussing, Missing in Action 2: The Beginning!

Episode 250
vendredi 12 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:16:39
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Jamie lets it slip that she worked at Blockbuster (which is news to her cohost), Doug has a big issue with the wardrobe choices throughout, and we both are a bit creeped out by these dead-eyed red-headed twins.

Episode 160: Episode 160: Spellbinder (1988) w/Laura Cannon of Fatal Femmes
Episode 160
vendredi 9 juillet 2021 • Duration 01:52:35
Laura Cannon, one half of Fatal Femmes mixes things up by exposing Doug and Jamie to a film neither had seen before. Is this movie sexy enough for Doug? Is it scary enough for Jamie? We learn about 'famous' LA artists of the late 80s, wonder why you would unwind with some basketball when you've got pretty severe back issues, and think that everyone should always listen to their receptionist/secretary when considering a new relationship. Join us for our discussion of a movie that begs the question, what do you focus on if you're into witchcraft AND karate...Spellbinder!

Episode 159: Road House (1989) w/Tony from Hack the Movies
vendredi 25 juin 2021 • Duration 01:46:15
Tony from Hack the Movies drops by to preach the gospel of Road House! Doug and Jamie may not be completely convinced though. For Doug, it has to do with the lack of sex in the film and for Jamie, well...maybe it just reminds her too much of her years as a bouncer in Tennessee. We discuss Cobra Commander, hungover doctors & a disappointed pervert who gets nothing but calls about a Buick! Join us for our discussion of a movie that's taken us far too long to get to, Road House!

We celebrate the sixth anniversary of the show by talking about a pretty big film and asking all the right questions.

Strap on your headgreat and/or neck brace, toss that pizza on the turntable, pop a muscel relaxer or two, and join us for our discussion of the John Hughes film to feature the most cartoon sound effects, Sixteen Candles! It's been a while since we've come down on opposite sides of a film so this is a fun one.

vendredi 23 avril 2021 • Duration 01:16:03
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!
