On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1987 movie Barfly.

As part of a Mickey Rourke double-feature, we'll check out how Rourke evolved (or devolved) in Hollywood and whether Bukowski romanticizes self-destruction.Other topics include the rest of Rourke's career, existentialism in film, Riot Fest, new physical media by Kino Lorber, and indie-horror movies Obsession and Backrooms beating Star Wars.Songs of the WeekHere's Your Future by The ThermalsMe Against the World by Lizzy BordenRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Nobody Gets Off This Staircase: Krissy, Nathan, and Pete Take On The UntouchablesWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Pete Wright—podcast impresario and pod boss at TruStory FM—to dig into Brian De Palma's The Untouchables (1987), where the real question isn't whether Al Capone goes down, but how far a straight-arrow fed is willing to bend to make it happen.The central tension here is a juicy one: Kevin Costner's deliberately bland Elliot Ness surrounded by Sean Connery's full-voltage Obi-Wan energy and Andy Garcia's silk-jacketed handsomeness. Is Costner's wooden earnestness a character choice or just… Costner being Costner? The gang has feelings. Meanwhile, Pete makes a compelling case that David Mamet is at his very best when someone else is in the director's chair—and that De Palma's camera (hello, split diopter) transforms stilted period dialogue into something genuinely cinematic.What keeps the conversation sparking is the sheer audacity of the filmmaking: an improvised staircase sequence that became the movie's most iconic scene, Armani-clad gangsters that make everyone want to buy overcoats for a city they don't live in, and a baby carriage that shows up twice in two consecutive episodes of the pod. The episode stays premise-level throughout, so you can jump in clean and still feel every gut punch.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you could only pick one scene from this movie to show someone who'd never seen it, which one would you choose—and why? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn and returning guest John Mills tackle one of the most gloriously baffling cult films of the 1980s: Masters of the Universe.Technically speaking? It's not a good movie.Emotionally speaking? They kind of love it anyway.Together, Shawn and John dive deep into the strange, earnest, deeply endearing world of Cannon Films' live-action adaptation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and a gloriously committed Frank Langella as Skeletor. Along the way, they unpack the film's bizarre production history, its unmistakable “Cannon Films energy,” and why the movie's sincerity and lack of cynicism make it weirdly lovable. They also discuss that odd moment when a "bad" movie ends up being far more endearing and memorable than a competent one.By the Power of Grayskull, this one has the power.

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug laughs at the worst tragedy two parents could ever experience, Jamie questions if Billy Zane is a human being or just a smooth, sweaty mannequin,, and we both realize that we'd rather have sex with a murderer than try and repair a sinking ship.

For April's episode we discuss our favourite songs of 1987, including a lot of goth, some sparkly pop, industrial, thrash metal, hip hop, indie, and even a bond theme.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - a-ha, Anthrax, Rick Astley, Big Black, Black, Butthole Surfers, The Cure, Dead Can Dance, Death, Def Leppard, Dinosaur Jr, Faith No More, Fleetwood Mac, Front Line Assembly, Guns N Roses, Lubricated Goat, Negativland, The Pastels, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Pixies, Pop Will Eat Itself, Prince, Public Enemy, R.E.M., Sisters Of Mercy,  Skinny Puppy, The Smiths, U2, Suzanne Vega, & The Wedding Present.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7H6ir9yRUIOmg1hrAhKtwu?si=423f30e293904a4fFind our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

 Two completely different films. So much so that it feels wrong calling 2025's The Running Man a remake. Luke & Corrye find a ton of ridiculousness in Arnold Schwarzenegger's version, and timely commentary and nods to modern times in Glenn Powell's. PLUS: Dune 3 tickets, a new James Bond actor, a new Aragorn, and the prequel we didn't need but are excited about thanks to Bradley Cooper.

"Flowers in the Attic" RevisitedOh, brother...and sister. Yes, back in 1987, there was plenty of pearl clutching when the film adaptation of V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic hit the screen. For better or worse, the PG-13 flick toned down the incestuous vibes of the novel. Back then, it was mostly for worse. Critics and audiences were turned off. But now, decades later, was the subtler approach the right choice? Is Corrine the worst movie mom ever? And how grey should a kid get before bringing him to a doctor? The Old Roommates head up to the attic and discuss it all through their middle-aged lens.

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie reveals how long it takes before her attention drifts from movies (these Pluto commercials aren't helping), Doug believes two characters in this film are auditioning for a sitcom that never happened, and we both agree that not much has changed in society over the past 40 years (some for better but far more for worse).

What if the soul of American freedom depends on the strength of our character at home and our courage in the public square? We follow a clear thread from John Adams and John Quincy Adams to a modern battlefield, exploring why liberty withers without moral roots and how ordinary people can keep the flame alive.I share foundational quotes that tie civil government to Christian principles, then move into Scripture that shapes daily life: Ephesians 5's vision of sacrificial love in marriage, Jesus' challenge to a rich seeker about treasure and loyalty, and Psalm 24's call to clean hands and pure hearts. These aren't abstract devotions; they're a blueprint for self-government. When we put love of God first, we gain the wisdom and restraint that liberty requires. When we love our neighbor, we anchor policies and personal choices in truth, not slogans.The episode centers on a stark story of courage: Marine Jordan Harter at a Ramadi gate who stood his ground and stopped a catastrophic attack, giving his life to save countless others. His split-second choice shows what it means to hold the line when it matters. From there, we talk about how citizens “exploit” the time bought by sacrifice—by voting with conviction, raising principled families, supporting law enforcement with integrity, and defending ordered liberty against ideologies that smother it. Reagan's reminder echoes through it all: a nation's happiness stands on virtue, and America remains a place where anyone can become American by embracing a creed rooted in freedom and character.If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

In this week's gripping episode, Jerry returns with the latest chapter in his ongoing investigation into cryptid activity deep within North Carolina's enigmatic South Mountains. This installment chronicles an intense 40-hour field expedition to a known hotspot of unexplained activity—an area steeped in reports of Bigfoot-like creatures and strange wilderness phenomena.Jerry shares  compelling physical evidence, including possible Sasquatch footprints, unusual tree breaks, and a series of unsettling deer kill sites. The episode also delves into spine-chilling moments from a nighttime hike, featuring unexplainable vocalizations and striking thermal imagery that may suggest the presence of an unknown being nearby.Adding depth to the investigation, Jerry revisits two fascinating historical accounts: a 1987 sighting near Lake Moultrie in South Carolina shared by a father and son, and a life-changing encounter in 1979 by two men hiking in the remote Linville Gorge. These narratives highlight the enduring mystery and emotional impact of such encounters.Tune in as Jerry pieces together the past and present in his pursuit of truth.

Can a Gang of Kids Really Save the World from Classic Monsters?Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, where hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell venture into completely new territory with The Monster Squad (1987)—a film neither had seen before. This nostalgic cult classic brings together Universal's greatest monsters in what should be the ultimate horror crossover, but does it hold up without those rose-tinted glasses of childhood? Join these first-time viewers as they dissect whether the magic works when you're encountering Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the Wolfman for the first time as adults.Coming at The Monster Squad cold, both hosts find themselves intrigued by the premise but puzzled by the execution. While the movie looks great and delivers some genuinely fun moments—like Dracula's lightning-rod cane and the mummy's slow-motion chase scenes—they struggle to connect with characters who feel more like archetypes than actual kids. The film's reliance on nostalgia for both 1980s adventure films and classic Universal monsters creates a double-edged sword: those with childhood memories may overlook its flaws, but newcomers are left wondering why the scary German neighbor is so accommodating and where all that dynamite came from. Still, they appreciate the earnest effort and Shane Black's co-writing credits, ultimately landing on a solid 6 out of 10 rating.Additional insights from the discussion:The problematic language choices feel particularly jarring to modern ears, even accounting for 1980s contextFat Kid's pizza-as-weapon moment raises questions about just how sensitive vampires are to garlicThe film's treatment of individual monsters feels uneven, with Wolfman getting a complete arc while the Mummy serves mainly as comic reliefFrankenstein's redemption and the portal mechanics create unexpectedly emotional momentsThe army showing up because of a letter written in crayon perfectly captures the film's toneBoth hosts acknowledge that The Monster Squad clearly resonates with those who grew up watching it, even if it didn't quite capture their adult hearts. The movie delivers on spectacle and has undeniable charm, making it a worthwhile watch for anyone curious about this slice of 1980s monster movie nostalgia.Want more retro movie magic? Visit TruStory FM to explore The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast and other great shows.

In this chilling episode Fred from Alaska, who brings two haunting accounts from the frozen north—true stories of isolation, terror, and survival in one of the world's most unforgiving landscapes.The first story follows Bernie, a woman living alone on a remote Alaskan homestead after the tragic loss of her husband. What begins as unsettling noises and strange disturbances around her cabin soon escalates into a harrowing confrontation with hairy, caveman-like beings that emerge from the forest.Alone and armed only with her courage, Bernie faces the unthinkable as she fights to survive against something not entirely human—and not entirely animal. Fred also shares a second account from Joseph, set in 1987 in Bristol Bay, where a dense fog hides something terrifying in the mist. The encounter that follows defies explanation and adds another chapter to Alaska's long history of cryptid encounters and wilderness mysteries. These are stories of fear, endurance, and the strange, untamed forces that still roam the edges of civilization.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

The story so far: After a year and a half underground, we've made it to the best time of the year! Sadly, we've hit the end of Sellout October 2025! During October, we watch mainstream horror movies that people have heard of before. And after trick-or-mole-treating around Mole City, we were gifted a film as a little treat, and it turned out to be The Monster Squad from 1987! It's a first time watch for one of us (can you guess who?!), and we bask in the glory of Stan Winston's amazing costumes, discuss the constant necessity of virgins in horror, talk way too much about foreskin, and just shower this movie with love! As Sellout October comes to an end, we hope you all have the spookiest of Halloweens!!!Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

 In this episode, Fred from Alaska recounts a chilling first-hand encounter with a creature known as the 'Hairy Man' by Joseph and his cousins during a fishing trip in 1987. The story includes eerie whistling sounds, sightings of a large neanderthal-like figure, and the superstitions that are perpetuated in light of such encounters. Fred also discusses a subsequent trip taken by Joseph and his brother to the same location, resulting in another close call with the creature. Additionally, Fred shares an experience from his relative Nikolai, who had a similar chilling encounter with the Hairy Man while on a hunting trip near the New Yauk River. These narratives highlight how superstitious beliefs are deeply ingrained in local culture and often linked with coincidental tragedies, such as the unfortunate drowning of Joseph's young cousin shortly after the encounter.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our Sponsors00:00 Introduction and Purpose 00:22 Joseph's Encounter with the Unknown 08:50 The Aftermath and Superstitions 16:36 Nikolai's Harrowing Experience 24:55 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
