Swing for the Fences: A Deep Dive into Bull DurhamWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell as they welcome special guest Nate McWhortor—a self-proclaimed superfan—to discuss the 1988 baseball romance Bull Durham. This isn't your typical sports movie; it's a sultry, quotable journey through minor league baseball that explores love, mentorship, and the religion of America's pastime.The Church of BaseballThe hosts dive deep into what makes Bull Durham unique among sports films. Unlike major league fantasies, this movie captures the gritty reality of minor league baseball—from shitty buses to $20,000 salaries. Guest Nate McWhortor brings real-world perspective, having worked for the Montgomery Biscuits after college, inspired by this very film. The discussion reveals how writer-director Ron Shelton's own minor league experience creates authentic moments that resonate with anyone who's lived the unglamorous side of professional sports.The trio explores the film's adult themes and memorable dialogue, from Kevin Costner's gruff wisdom as Crash Davis to Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy—a poetry-loving baseball groupie who mentors young players. They analyze the unique love triangle that develops and how the film balances romance with genuine baseball storytelling. The conversation touches on everything from the film's hard R rating to its Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.Key Discussion Points:The authenticity of minor league baseball portrayal and its impact on small communitiesKevin Costner's evolution from leading man to "grumpy Costner" in this breakout roleThe film's adult themes and quotable dialogue that baseball fans still use todayHow Bull Durham differs from other 80s baseball movies like Major League and Field of DreamsThe unique perspective of having a female narrator in a male-dominated sports genreFinal VerdictThe hosts deliver their "garter ratings" with Nate giving his favorite film a perfect 10/10, while Krissy and Nathan both land on a respectable 7/10. Despite some pacing issues in the final act, everyone agrees the film holds up as both a baseball movie and a romance, though they warn it's definitely not for young viewers despite its quotable nature.Connect with the ShowDiscover more episodes and get early, ad-free access plus bonus content by becoming a member at trustory.fm/join.

A new book titled “Gods of New York: Egotists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City, 1986-1990” covers New York City's pivotal and transformative years in the 1980s, tracing notable figures such as Donald Trump, Al Sharpton, Curtis Sliwa and Rudy Giuliani. The author, Jonathan Mahler, is a New York Times Magazine staff writer. He previously wrote the critically acclaimed bestseller “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning,” an account of 1977 in the city. Mahler joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the new book, focusing on the economic boom driven by Wall Street, the rise of homelessness and key struggles like the fiscal crisis and the crack epidemic.

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Paul Watson, who shares the following recording. Paul notes:“During the 1980s I was listening to shortwave radio from my home near London, in the southeast of England. I had a cassette recorder connected to the receiver and taped anything interesting that caught my ear. Little did I know that 40 years later the majority of these stations would have disappeared and I would have the opportunity to share these recordings with the world.”This recording is part of a five-part compilation series Paul has created, grouping international shortwave broadcasters by region. The majority of the clips are in English and feature interval signals, station IDs, and sign-ons/offs—a rich snapshot of shortwave radio during its Cold War-era heyday.This particular compilation focuses on: Eastern Europe and USSRAll recordings were made during the 1980s, most in the first half of the decade. While frequencies and exact dates aren't provided, Paul has kindly included timestamps noting when each broadcaster appears in the audio.

Even Trump admits it, and then denies it, he and Jeffrey Epstein were once friends. From the looks of things, the videos, the photos, the mansions scattered around the world, and the private Jets, they look like best friends. For at least 10 years, the billionaire and the millionaire bachelors partied with Playboy and Underwear Models. We now know that the Billionaire, with his own Island, multiple Jets, and even more mansions, was also a child sexual abuser. And he used his money and his powerful friends to break the law and abuse dozens of young girls. Epstein and his lover, then work-partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, were and are monsters. So far, the two are the only two who have brought the victims a little justice. There are still dozens and dozens of men and women who took part in the child trafficking and sexual abuse of the girls. There is, obviously, more information about the other sexual predators and abusers in the Epstein Files. But the Trump administration is refusing to release them. Instead, Trump is trying to divert our attention and change the subject, and deflect. It may work. It has before. This is the early timeline of the relationship between the builder, Trump, and the financial manager, Epstein, who was also a child sexual predator.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week we're donning our Ray-Bans, sliding across the living room floor, and revisiting the film that launched Tom Cruise into superstardom — Risky Business (1983). Equal parts coming-of-age comedy, satire, and cautionary tale, it's a movie that defined a certain brand of 80s cool while slyly critiquing the era's obsession with wealth and success.Directed by Paul Brickman, Risky Business follows Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise), a high-achieving Chicago high school student left home alone while his parents are away. Initially envisioning a week of harmless fun, things spiral after a night with call girl Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) leads Joel into a world of escalating consequences, entrepreneurial schemes, and moral compromises.What begins as a teenage fantasy of freedom and rebellion becomes a sharply observed journey into adulthood — and a satire of the “make it big” mentality that fuelled the 80s.While it has that glossy 80s comedy appeal, Risky Business is far smarter and more cynical than it first appears. It's one of those films that teenage audiences might take at face value as a tale of freedom and rebellion, but adults will recognise as a sharp social critique. That said, it's very much an R-rated outing — so maybe not one for family movie night.In the end, Risky Business is more than just a star-making turn for Tom Cruise. It's a stylish, clever, and surprisingly subversive look at ambition, temptation, and the thin line between opportunity and exploitation.

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt celebrates the countdown to Nebraska's football season, noting growing national attention on the Huskers, fueled by expectations for QB Dylan Raiola and coach Matt Rhule in his third year. The featured guest, Brad Wilson, shared his unique perspective as Nebraska's first disabled student manager in the early 1980s. Born with a birth defect affecting his right side, Wilson earned a spot on the team after writing to Tom Osborne and interviewing with Charlie McBride and legendary trainer George Sullivan. Wilson described life as a student manager—running scout team plays, setting up equipment, assisting coaches, and even managing travel for the freshman team. He recalled behind-the-scenes stories of Osborne's quiet leadership, camaraderie among players, and humorous moments, including practical jokes, famous visitors, and encounters with opponents' fan bases. Wilson also recounted memorable games, like Mike Rozier's record-chasing performance in 1983, and the deep family atmosphere fostered by the program. He reflected on how the role gave him lifelong friendships, professional connections, and personal confidence, emphasizing the privilege of being part of Husker football history. The episode closed with appreciation from the chat and Hunt's invitation for Wilson to return with more stories.

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug wants listeners to understand that he's a good person before he describes the domestic violence in this movie as 'funny', Jamie saw the 'Playboy Productions' in the credits and braced for some serious smut that never made it on screen, and we both agree that you probably shouldn't introduce a man to your kid on the very first date. Tamp down that Canadian accent, try not to show up to your first day at work soaked in sweat, and join us as we wonder just how little dialogue a movie can have in it and still be called a movie as we discuss, Heavenly Bodies!Heavenly Bodies is a 1984 film directed by Lawrence Dane and starring Cynthia Dale, Richard Rebiere, Walter George Alton, Laura Henry, Patricia Idlette & Joel StoneVisit our YouTube ChannelMerch on TeePublic Follow us on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind us on FacebookDoug's Schitt's Creek podcast, Schitt's & Giggles can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/schitts-and-giggles-a-schitts-creek-podcast/id1490637008

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Paul Watson, who shares the following recording. Paul notes:“During the 1980s I was listening to shortwave radio from my home near London, in the southeast of England. I had a cassette recorder connected to the receiver and taped anything interesting that caught my ear. Little did I know that 40 years later the majority of these stations would have disappeared and I would have the opportunity to share these recordings with the world.”This recording is part of a five-part compilation series Paul has created, grouping international shortwave broadcasters by region. The majority of the clips are in English and feature interval signals, station IDs, and sign-ons/offs—a rich snapshot of shortwave radio during its Cold War-era heyday.This particular compilation focuses on: Asia & the PacificAll recordings were made during the 1980s, most in the first half of the decade. While frequencies and exact dates aren't provided, Paul has kindly included timestamps noting when each broadcaster appears in the audio. These are listed below for easy reference.We're grateful to Paul for sharing this excellent audio time capsule, and for his efforts to preserve and document the golden era of international broadcasting.Afghanistan: Radio Afghanistan (0)Australia: Radio Australia (1.55)Bangladesh: Radio Bangladesh (3.18)China: Radio Peking (4.23)India: All India Radio (6.16)Japan: Radio Japan (7.29)Korea (North): Radio Pyongyang (9.02)Korea (South): Radio Korea (12.26)Malaysia: Voice of Malaysia (14.22)New Zealand: Radio New Zealand (15.49)Pakistan: Radio Pakistan (16.13)Saipan: KFBS & KYOI (16.44)Taiwan: Voice of the Free China (18.14)Tajikistan: Radio Dushanbe (19.01)Uzbekistan: Radio Tashkent (19.22)Vietnam: Voice of Vietnam (20.16)
