Black on Black Cinema tackles Chameleon Street (1989), Wendell B. Harris Jr.'s astonishing writer-director-star debut based on the true story of Detroit con artist William Douglas Street Jr., who successfully impersonated reporters, lawyers, an Ivy League exchange student, and even a surgeon, performing over 30 real hysterectomies without any medical training. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1990, beating out Reservoir Dogs, and then inexplicably went without distribution for over a year, effectively burying Harris's career before it started.The concept is genuinely brilliant, a razor-sharp satire about race, class, and identity performance in America, anchored by a magnetic, one-of-a-kind lead performance from Harris himself. But the execution is a different story. The film is tonally unpredictable, structurally chaotic, and at times narratively difficult to follow, swinging wildly between avant-garde experimentation and straightforward biopic beats without clear rhythm. We break down what makes Chameleon Street a genuine one-of-a-kind vision worth seeking out, where the filmmaking gets in its own way, and why this would be ripe for a modern remake with better structure and focus.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Following last's week review, Ice Cream Man became a huge talking point on the internet. At the time of recording, the use of AI had not been revealed. And though we thought the movie should be avoided in theaters, we also thought it was worth streaming. Our opinions have not changed, but we do follow it to discuss Eli Roth's latest release. This leads into a discussion about Touch Grass. The upcoming movie is an AI-generated horror movie. Unsurprisingly, this has upset a good amount of people But how does it tie into the next V/H/S release? Plus another remake of a 1980s “classic”. The Hunger from 1983 is one of the most unique movies we have ever covered on our humble little podcast. On the surface, there does not seem to be anything outstanding about it. It is a tale about a vampire grappling with immortality and lost loves. Watching the movie is a whole other matter. There is not much to the story-at least anything that is there will require a lot of guesswork and filling in the gaps by the viewer. But it looks incredible. The Hunger clearly influenced the music videos and erotic thrillers that would come to dominate the 80s. We discuss its legacy and why it is not talked about more..

On this episode of The Dale Jr. Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime NASCAR driver, owner, and racing veteran Ken Ragan, father of former NASCAR driver David Ragan, for a trip through some incredible stories from NASCAR's past. Ragan shares how he got his start in racing, his days behind the wheel in Cup/ARCA through the 1980s, and the relationships that connected him with legends like Robert Yates, Davey Allison, Richard Petty and Tim Richmond. He also remembers being part of Richard Petty's historic 200th win at the 1984 Firecracker 400, surviving a serious crash at Talladega, and the story behind his involvement with the growth of Legends Cars – shaping the careers of many NASCAR drivers today. From old-school NASCAR stories to the people and moments that helped shape the sport, Ken Ragan has a firsthand perspective on an era of racing that's impossible to replicate.

Send us Fan MailThe Cape Cod time capsule that is One Crazy Summer. Some of the movies shot on the Cape and Islands. The creation of the cellular telephone.Episode 256 is a bit of a throwback for the podcast as it is loaded with Cape Cod topics.We start by going back 40 years ago this week. One Crazy Summer is among the best mindlessly fun comedies of the 1980s. It wasn't a major box office or critical hit, but it did have one thing that made it special, and that was a deep connection to Cape Cod. Watching it today is like opening up an old photo album for Cape Codders who grew up during that time. We celebrate the 40th anniversary of One Crazy Summer this week.Today it can feel as though cell phone technology has been around forever. In some ways that is true, but in other ways it's still relatively new. We go way back to the beginning and trace the evolution of cellular telephone technology. From World War II to Y2K and all of the bumps and detours, we look at just how cell phones became the indispensable part of life that they are today. Cape Cod dominates this week's Top 5. We look at some of the films that were shot on Cape Cod or the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. There are a few obvious ones, and some that might surprise you. We'll go over them all, good, bad, and very bad.As always, there is a brand-new This Week In History and Time Capsule, looking at the creation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.To support me and the show, become a member on Patreon. Or you can support my work and Buy Me A Coffee!Helpful Links from this EpisodeBuy My New Book, In Their Footsteps!Searching For the Lady of the Dunes True Crime BookHooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenMSFTS CommunityKingfisher Hotels Cape CodChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogCJSetterlundPhotos on EtsyListen to Episode 255 hereSupport the show

Matt and Eric examine the deadly art of illusion in 1986's F/X, starring Bryan Brown as an Aussie special effects movie maestro framed for murder and Brian Dennehy as the sloppy cop looking to bust the case wide open.

Anne Stevenson-Yang, author of Wild Ride: A Short History of the Opening and Closing of the Chinese Economy, provides an account of China's economic arc over five decades. The narrative begins in the mid-1980s, transitioning from a Maoist culture characterized by extreme poverty to a burgeoning export-led economy envisioned by Deng Xiaoping. This "miracle" was fueled by "red capitalism," where the children of political elites—the princelings—amassed massive wealth by controlling key economic nodes and resources. The central government sustained growth through aggressive interventions, including "golden projects" for state control and massive cash injections following the 1998 and 2008 financial crises. This led to an era of "ghost cities" and redundant infrastructure as the country became "drowned in cash." However, this expansion was built on unsustainable debt and unproductive assets. By 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent severe lockdowns shattered public trust and triggered a financial crisis in the real estate sector. Currently, the Chinese economy faces deflation and stagnation. Under Xi Jinping, the state has prioritized surveillance and national security over capitalistic freedom, marking the closing of the Chinese economic miracle. (1)

In this episode Kieran, Mark and I discuss the John Landis comedy 'Trading Places'. Outside discussing the film we find time to talk about a) which films were topping the box office in 1983 (they year this film was released, FYI), b) the state of comedy as a genre in recent years and c) the current cinematic landscape (up to and including 'The Odyssey' and 'The Invite'). Oh, and Mark gives us a wild recast and I forget what year it is. By 20 years.

They will cover a topic or two, likely previously covered on the In My Footsteps Podcast. These are subjects that were part of Top 5's or other list-form segments and deserve a more in-depth look.In perhaps the weirdest topic that might be covered, we go back half a century to look at the life and legacy of 'Country' Bill White, aka Mr. Living Corpse. He spent sometimes months at a time voluntarily being buried alive over the course of two decades. Being buried alive cumulatively for over two years is a strange accomplishment, but even stranger was the fact that he once married a woman while she was buried alive. Yes, you heard that right.

It was the early '80s, the height of the Cold War, when something strange began happening off the coast of Sweden. The navy reported a mysterious sound deep below the surface of the ocean. Again, and again, and again they would hear it near their secret military bases, in their harbors, and up and down the Swedish coastline. After thorough analysis the navy was certain. The sound was an invasion into their waters, an act of war, the opening salvos of a possible nuclear annihilation. Or was it? Today, Annie McEwen pulls us down into a deep-sea mystery, one of international intrigue that asks you to consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, your deepest beliefs could be as solid as...air.

We talk to Nik Kershaw - Singer, Songwriter & Multi-instrumentalist. The 1980s gave us an endless stream of incredible UK music stars, flooding the radio with hit songs that still sound incredible to this very day. Right at the top of that hill was Nik Kershaw whose songs had the unique magic of being incredibly melodic and catchy whilst below the surface were written and constructed on a whole different level to their chart counter parts. Today Nik continues to tour, bringing his huge choruses and hooks to fans all over the world and he shares stories on this episode of touring, producing other bands and what he would have done differently if he had the choice.Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop

Some of the biggest 1980s TV show fails.The dog days of summer begin, and Episode 255 is here to try to keep you cool.It begins with the creation of the thirst quencher. Sports drinks have been helping athletes and everybody else stay hydrated for six decades. What began as an experiment on the University of Florida campus became a billion-dollar industry on the back of Gatorade. We do a deep dive into the drink that is for that deep-down body thirst.Summer was different in the 1980s. It was freedom and adventure. It was bikes and dirt and sugar. It was getting out and staying out until the streetlights came on. Let's reminisce about those bygone days when technology was an appetizer and not the main course. When the outdoors called via landline. Let's look at summer in the 1980s.Not everything was better in the 1980s. The Top 5 will attest to that.

James Bond didn't just survive the 1980s—he evolved. The decade began with the familiar charm of Roger Moore, who somehow managed to save the world while delivering one-liners smoother than a shaken martini. But by the end of the '80s, the tuxedo belonged to Timothy Dalton, whose darker, more serious interpretation helped pave the way for the modern Bond audiences know today. On this week's Stuck in the '80s, hosts Steve Spears and Sean Daly welcome former St. Petersburg Times film critic Steve Persall for a mission worthy of MI6: revisiting every James Bond film released during the decade. From space lasers and exploding Lotus Esprits to ski chases, killer theme songs and unforgettable villains, the trio debates which films still hold up—and which ones are best left in Q Branch storage. Is The Spy Who Loved Me era impossible to top? Did Licence to Kill deserve more love? Which Bond girl stole the show? And just how many times can Roger Moore raise one eyebrow before it becomes a special effect? Along the way, they also discuss how the Bond franchise adapted to changing audiences, shifting action-movie trends and the arrival of a grittier leading man just as the decade came to a close. Whether you're Team Moore, Team Dalton or simply here for the Aston Martins and gadgets, there's plenty to debate. So pour yourself a martini (your choice of preparation), cue up the unmistakable Bond theme, and join us for a deep dive into one of the biggest movie franchises of the 1980s.

Not a wealth tax. Farmers markets. The kind with watermelons and a guy selling tomatoes off a folding table.Hightower ran for Texas Agriculture Commissioner with the idea as a key part of his platform anyway. He won. And in his first year in office, he and a staff of six built a hundred of them across the state.Forty-some years later, Democratic strategists are still having the same panic attack about socialism. Turns out the “radical” thing was never the label itself; it was whether the guy delivered on campaign promises.Here, Hightower tells the story himself: the watermelon stand outside Weatherford that started it all, how Hightower's staff created the market access for the farmers, and the line he used to shut the haters up for good — “the word ‘free' in ‘free enterprise' is not an adjective. It is a verb.”

Scotty Hagen is back to join us for a look at “Good Old Days,” one of “Weird Al” Yankovic's darkest and most divisive originals.We dig into the contrast between its warm, nostalgic sound and increasingly disturbing lyrics, the unsettlingly cheerful narrator, and the way each verse keeps raising the stakes. We also talk about Al's darker side, the controversy surrounding the song's return during the 2022 Vanity Tour, and whether comedy changes as the world around it does.Is “Good Old Days” actually offensive, or is the horror of the narrator exactly what makes the joke work?(It's not offensive... LINDA.)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

The 1980s introduced an incredible generation of fantasy, science fiction, and horror authors—but which debut novels have truly stood the test of time?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim takes a year-by-year journey through the entire decade, selecting one fantasy debut, one science fiction debut, and one horror debut for every year from 1980 through 1989. Some of these books launched legendary careers. Others changed the direction of their genres. And a few deserve far more recognition than they've ever received.Every selection follows one strict rule: it had to be the author's very first published novel. That means some famous books didn't qualify, while several hidden gems earned their moment in the spotlight.Whether you're looking for your next great read, curious about the origins of some of speculative fiction's biggest names, or simply love discussing the greatest books of the past, there's plenty here to discover.Featured authors include:• William Gibson• Guy Gavriel Kay• Lois McMaster Bujold• Emma Bull• Elizabeth Moon• Dan Simmons• Jack Ketchum• Robert L. Forward• Katharine Kerr• Ian McDonald…and many more!

Some of the biggest collectibles trends that were investment fails.Episode 254 is loaded with legends and icons.Robin Williams was one of the most talented actors and comedians of his or any generation. He could be a ball of manic energy in comedy, a relatable everyman, and even a terrifying killer. Though he entertained millions in movies and television, there was an underlying sadness to him. We look back at the life and legacy of a one-of-a-kind.In the annals of television history, few shows have lasted such a short time but made such a huge impact. Chappelle's Show changed the way sketch comedy was written and received by the audience. Groundbreaking characters, memorable sketches, dozens of quotable lines. This show achieved more in 28 episodes than many do in several hundred.  A new Top 5 will have you searching the attic and basement. Some investments pay off; these are not those. We will look at some collectibles that we thought would grow in value, but sadly they ended up flopping and collecting dust in a corner.

This week's recording goes all the way back to 2015 (!!!) to a conversation Kieran and I recorded in his home in South London over a cup of coffee about the Steven Spielberg film 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial' which we recorded for our sister podcast, the SpielbergPod.

Some of the most popular television programming blocks ever.Episode 253 shows the pop culture randomizer on full display.It begins with a look back at a show that only lasted a short time but left a big imprint on a lot of GenXers. BrainGames was a revelation in children's education. The HBO show lasted a whopping 6 episodes, yet somehow is still fondly remembered to this day by many who saw it. We look at why this little show had a big impact.30 years ago this week, an indie band with a cult following released their breakout hit song. Unfortunately, it came shortly after their lead singer had lost his life. The band was Sublime, and the singer was Bradley Nowell. On this anniversary, we do a deep dive into the rise, fall, and full-circle rebirth of one of the most popular bands of the mid-1990s.TGIF? Must-See TV?

Matt and Eric dig into a 1986 flick they knew only from Madonna's "Live to Tell" video: AT CLOSE RANGE - which stars Sean Penn as a young man who wants to bond with his criminal pop, played by Christopher Walken. 

This week Kieran, Paul and I return to a Spielberg classic by discussing the Nepal sequence from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. This gives us a chance to talk about visual storytelling, subtle screenwriting, shots, ponderous walks, fleshing out the character of Indiana Jones and the introductions of Marion Ravenwood and Major Arnold Toht. Oh, and running the one minute mile too.

How do you turn one of Weird Al's shortest songs into one of Beer'd Al's longest episodes?You invite family.Lauren and Russ are joined by Russ's son (and Lauren's stepson) Zakk for a full Robinson discussion of "Twister," Weird Al's frantic Beastie Boys-style original from Even Worse. Along the way, we dive into the song's brilliant pastiche, explore the Beastie Boys' evolution from punk upstarts to hip-hop legends, reminisce about the cultural phenomenon that was the Twister board game, and somehow manage to conduct an entirely serious literary analysis of a one-minute song.We also take a detour into the memorable Twister scene from the Michael biopic, debate why some comedy works best in short bursts, and prove that with enough enthusiasm (and enough tangents), even the shortest Weird Al song can inspire a full-length conversation.It's a full Robinson onslaught—and it all comes full circle.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

Episode 204: In Conversation with Grant Walters – Co-Author of "Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1980s" – Part 2 In this episode, Brian and Sarah continue their conversation with Grant Walters, co-author of the Decades series of books covering the career of the Bee Gees. The latest volume, Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1980s, has just been released in the UK, and it will be available to purchase in the US in September.  Part 2 of the discussion finds Grant, Brian, and Sarah talking about the solo work undertaken by Barry, Robin, and Maurice during the 1980s. Barry released a solo album, which was accompanied by a full-length film; Robin released three solo albums; and Maurice composed movie scores, produced an album for Swedish singer Carola, and worked with both his brothers on their solo projects.  In the second half of the decade, the Bee Gees returned to the studio as a group, recording and releasing the albums E.S.P. and One. In between these albums, they suffered the great loss of their youngest brother, Andy. As the 1980s come to a close, the Bee Gees find themselves enjoying a resurgence in their popularity, once again achieving worldwide success on the music charts. As mentioned in Part 1, Grant and Andrew are going on tour to support the new book, including an appearance at the Thame Museum in Thame, Oxfordshire, which is home to the Robin Gibb Gallery. The event is on September 5, and you can purchase tickets for both in-person and livestream attendance.

Matt and Eric start their 1986 run with buddy cop classic RUNNING SCARED, which features amazing live-in chemistry between Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines, crop tops, roller skates, an angry captain, jokes about rights violations, and Jimmy Smits' precious coke.

Formative Years in St. Louis. Guest Author: Keach Hagey. This segment explores Sam Altman's childhood in St. Louis during the 1980s and 90s. Hagey describes Altman's parents: Jerry, an idealistic real estate developer focused on affordable housing, and Connie, a highly ambitious dermatologist who set rigorous expectations for her four children. As the eldest, Sam was identified early as being intellectually "on another plane." At sixteen, he candidly came out to his mother, who eventually moved past her initial health-related fears to maintain their strong bond. A defining influence was the John Burroughs School, a progressive private institution that instilled a moral responsibility to use one's talents to improve the world. Despite his technological interests in programming and ham radio, Altman was noted for his precocious charisma and ability to engage adults on topics ranging from computer science to human rights. The segment concludes with his decision to attend Stanford University. 2
