“I'll meet you at the place near the thing where we went that time.” Yes, 1987's Broadcast News had quite a script, and quite a cast led by Holly Hunter, William Hurt and Albert Brooks. A lopsided love triangle, the three leads mismanaged emotions, insecurities, careers, and work timelines throughout the James L. Brooks hit. Nominated for seven Oscars, the movie skewered both modern love and ethics in media. But now, decades later, does it all feel like yesterday's news? Is a male “dumb blonde” as offensive as a female one? And are either of these two guys good enough for Hunter's Jane? The Old Roommates give the rom-com a revisit through their middle-aged lens.

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie 's only critique for this film is the lack of RDJ during the third act, Doug insists there must be an uncut version out there with at least a half hour of deleted scenes, and we both were just delighted by the romcom that was sandwiched in the middle of this film.

Can Two People Just Be Friends? When Harry Met Sally… Says: Complicated.Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guest Mandy Kaplan of Make Me a Nerd to revisit When Harry Met Sally… (1989), and the stakes are personal, because one of them is seeing it for the very first time, one has it as a gold standard, and one literally danced to its music at her wedding.The central question this crew wrestles with isn't just Harry's infamous thesis about men, women, and friendship. It's what happens when a movie is so embedded in the culture that you've absorbed its most famous moments without ever actually watching it. What does it feel like to finally sit down with something you've only known in clips? And does it land differently when you come in a skeptic? Spoiler-light from start to finish, the conversation stays at the level of feelings, not plot reveals.What fuels the discussion is the writing—Nora Ephron's screenplay, the improv that made it into the final cut, the genius of character names, the Pictionary scene, the baseball wave, the dual-landline mystery, and the surprisingly nuanced debate over whether Harry's answering machine serenade is romantic or just deeply tone-deaf. Rob Reiner gets his flowers too.The episode wraps with warmth, strong Say Anything feelings, and a bonus rec for a road trip you should probably take.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosDo you genuinely believe two people can be close friends without romantic feelings ever getting in the way—and has a movie ever changed your mind about it? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Breaking Barriers: Krissy and Nathan Strap In for The Right StuffWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell strap in for Philip Kaufman's sweeping 1983 epic The Right Stuff — a film so genuinely, stubbornly good that it nearly breaks their ability to snark about it.The central tension here isn't between astronauts and gravity — it's between Krissy and Nathan and a movie that refuses to be easily summed up. With an extraordinary ensemble (Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Sam Shepard, Fred Ward, Jeff Goldblum, and at least ten more "wait, is that—?" faces), The Right Stuff sprawls across three hours and twelve minutes like a prestige mini-series that never quite got the memo it was a movie. The hosts dig into what makes it so entertaining moment to moment — the absurdist testing sequences, Goldblum perpetually racing in with news everyone already has, and the quiet, earned power of Ed Harris telling the Vice President to back off his wife.What you get here is two people genuinely wrestling with a film they admire deeply, laughing at the bits that deserve laughs and getting a little misty at the bits that earn it. The conversation is premise-level — no endings spoiled, no surprises given away — just an honest, warmhearted debate about what holds this sprawling, magnificent beast together.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 keep one scene from The Right Stuff, what would it be — and why? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

One of the earliest films from Oscar-nominated Austrailian director Peter Weir (Witness, Dead Poet's Society, The Truman Show, Master & Commander), this is a stirring tale of one of THE pivotal events in the history of Australia: their campaign with British forces to fight the Turkish forces in World War I on the hills of Gallipoli more than a hundred years ago.  The story focuses on two young Austrailian sprinters (Mark Lee, Mel Gibson) who enlist together and form a strong bond, before eventually facing the brutal realities of "The Great War" when they are sent to fight.  When it came out forty-five years ago, this film was not only a seminal event in Australian cinema for war movies overall.  It also co-stars Bill Kerr, John Murphy, and Bill Hunter. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Marshall O'Neill (Sean Connery) has just been assigned to take over security of a new mining colony....on the Jupiter moon of IO. :o Yes this takes place in the future though many things have not changed as much as you would think: suddenly miners are starting to die under some VERY unusual circumstances as it might be as a result of a new illegal drug.  Against the advice of everyone around him, O'Neill digs deeper to find out how and why these drugs are starting to spread....and soon finds himself being targeted.  Even though this film was a critical and commercial failure upon release forty-five years ago, it has since developed a cult following and is now often affectionately nicknamed "High Noon in Space."  Legendary genre filmmaker Peter Hyams (TimeCop, Capricorn One, Running Scared) directed this sci-fi western which also co-stars Peter Boyle, Frances Sternhagen, and Clarke Peters. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

One Man Army, Zero Armadillos: The Invasion U.S.A. SituationWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by special guests Francis Zagarigo and Jenna Jacobsen of the Very Fine Friends podcast to take on Invasion U.S.A. (1985) — the Chuck Norris one-man-army spectacular that Nathan has been lobbying to cover for years.The big question the crew keeps circling: is this a movie, or is it a spectacle? Because there's a difference, and Invasion U.S.A. lands firmly in one of those camps. The conversation digs into what happens when a studio decides the solution to a too-long cut is to remove everything that isn't an explosion — including, heartbreakingly, any resolution involving a pet armadillo. What's left is something the hosts describe as witnessing a chaotic family at a carnival, and somehow that becomes the episode's most affectionate note.Francis and Jenna bring fresh eyes and genuine Chuck Norris confusion to the table, which gives the rewatch crowd something to play off of. Whether you know the Norris filmography cold or only recognize him from over someone else's shoulder, the dynamic here keeps things lively — and surprisingly warm. This one stays at premise level throughout, so you can tune in knowing nothing.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 had to defend the United States single-handedly, what 1985 action-movie weapon would you choose and why? ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

Send us Fan MailCan a dad truly master the delicate art of motherhood without turning the kitchen into an inferno? In this episode of Entertain This! Podcast, we revisit the 1983 comedy classic Mr. Mom, starring Michael Keaton as a newly unemployed executive thrust into the uncharted territory of full-time domesticity. We confront the persistent stigma that “dads can't handle the job,” drawing pointed comparisons to our own family experiences with role reversals.  Along the way, we recount the uproariously chaotic day-to-day realities faced by a novice stay-at-home father—from culinary disasters to tactical diaper deployments—proving that parenting's greatest challenges transcend gender and deliver equal measures of humility and hilarity. Tune in for a sharp, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud examination of family dynamics that may just redefine who wears the apron in your household.Support the show

"Crime is the disease. Meet the Cure.""The strong arm of the law."Back in the spring and summer of 1986, those were among several snappy taglines for this highly anticipated action thriller starring Oscar-winner Sylvester Stallone as his direct follow-up to TWO smash successes lead by him the previous year: Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rocky IV.  THIS time, he was playing the ultimate cop named Marion Cobretti (nickname: Cobra) who was on the hunt around Los Angeles for a brutal serial killer (or serial killers?) named the Night Slasher played by veteran character Brian Thompson (The Terminator, Miracle Mile, The X-Files).  This film was directed by George P. Cosmatos (Rambo, Tombstone) though apparently it ended up being co-directed by Stallone himself.  There was much hype for this film when it was released in May 1986 though the reviews were pretty poor, mostly related to its very simplistic plot and extreme violence and.....it did ok at the box office.  It wasn't the blockbuster which it was expected to be but the film made solid money at the worldwide box office.  Since then, it has garnered an increasingly rabid cult following and is now looked upon as one of Sly's most quotable films....his answer to Dirty Harry.  Let's see how it holds up forty years later and find out if.....THIS is where the law stops.....and HE starts. ;) Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

"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?

Forget "Footloose" and "Danger Zone"—Dave and Rob are digging into the 80s movie deep cuts you forgot you loved. This isn't your average Top 10; it's a high-octane countdown of the best "non-mainstream" tracks to ever grace the silver screen. In this episode, the guys bypass the obvious radio hits like "Ghostbusters" and "The Power of Love" to celebrate the under-the-radar anthems and moody synth masterpieces that defined 80s cinema. From cult classic montages to the songs that gave indie sleepers their soul, Dave and Rob debate which tracks truly captured the era's magic without leaning on the Billboard charts. Whether it's a gritty rock track from a forgotten action flick or a shimmering pop gem from a teen drama, they're proving that the best movie music often lives in the shadows of the blockbusters.

Episode 1180 – FAFO Friday: Manosphere, Crazy Exes, and 80s Movie Nostalgia** Clay Edwards kicks off a laid-back FAFO Friday with unfiltered takes on modern culture, relationships, and pure entertainment. He dives into the Netflix documentary on the "manosphere," weighing its mix of grift, high-testosterone energy, and traditional-leaning messaging against the alternative of mainstream progressive content aimed at younger audiences. Clay argues that — flaws and all — the manosphere's focus on avoiding simping, building confidence, and embracing masculinity fills a real void left by absent fathers, especially for teenage boys navigating a world saturated with conflicting agendas. The show takes a wild turn with a bizarre Mississippi crime story: a Batesville woman indicted for arson after allegedly trying to burn down her ex-boyfriend's house — and previously planting a homemade bomb on his vehicle. Clay breaks down the details with his signature humor, speculating on what kind of chaos drives that level of obsession. The rest of the episode is pure weekend vibes: a freewheeling rundown of the best 80s movies that got sequels (Rocky III, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Porky's, Eddie and the Cruisers, and many more), iconic one-liners that still live rent-free in everyone's head, and a group chat with callers and texters sharing their favorites. Clay reflects on why so many 80s classics feel timeless and why today's blockbusters rarely produce the same quotable magic. Expect sharp commentary, plenty of laughs, nostalgia overload, and Clay's no-holds-barred style as he closes out the week and sends listeners into the weekend in a good mood. Perfect for anyone who enjoys reality-check rants, real-talk relationship takes, true-crime absurdity, and a heavy dose of 80s throwback energy.

There Can Be Only One. Only one Immortal that this - the Immortals are special swordsmen who can live forever, except when they are facing off against other swordsmen who can kill them but ONLY by decapitating them.  The Immortal this particular story focuses on is Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) who is from the Highlands of Scotland in the 1500's when he discovers that he has this unique designation.  We follow his adventures through several centuries all the way up the "present day" in 1985 New York City where he is now being hunted by a bloodthirsty immortal barbarian named the Kurgan (Clancy Brown). Along the way, he has also been mentored by another Immortal named Ramirez (Sean Connery) in the ways of swordsmanship, along with other special gifts.  Featuring songs by Queen and directed by Russel Mulcahy (The Shadow, Resident Evil: Extinction), this action fantasy was a commercial disappointment upon first release forty years ago but has since become a beloved cult classic.  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug has no trouble picking the two hotties out of this group of friends, Jamie isn't exactly sure why there is both a Meg Tilly and a Jennifer Tilly working at the same time, and we both acknowledge how dumb their privileged white people problems are...even though we can relate. Put on your new running shoes, don't break that quaalude in half, and join us while we discuss a movie that is 99.9% dialogue, The Big Chill!The Big Chill is a 1983 film written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan and starring Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly, JoBeth Williams, Don Galloway & Kevin Costner.Visit 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

Send a textOn this episode of One Drink Podcast, we throw it straight back to the loud, ridiculous, awesome 1980s. One drink in and two random 80s questions hit the table.First up: Rocky vs. The Karate Kid. If Rocky Balboa trained with Mr. Miyagi instead of Mickey, does he become an unstoppable fighting machine… or does he just end up painting fences and waxing cars?Then we turn up the volume and ask the ultimate arena question: who owned the 80s harder — Metallica or Bon Jovi? One band brought the thunder, the other brought the hair, hooks, and stadium anthems.Two ridiculous questions. One drink. A lot of 80s nostalgia.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-ytHeiGG6VND5GUmoWij-A

In this episode of Houselights, we explore "Young Sherlock Holmes," a 1985 film that offers a fresh take on the legendary detective's youth. Directed by Barry Levinson, the movie is noted for its pioneering special effects and Spielberg-esque storytelling. While it captures the charm of 80s cinema, our hosts debate its lasting impact and whether it truly stands out in the Sherlock Holmes canon. Tune in for a blend of nostalgia and critique.

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 5 of The Average. Tonight, we're putting down the pickaxes and picking up the magic wands as we kick off our Sword and Sorcery Series with the 1988 George Lucas/Ron Howard masterpiece: WILLOW. But there's a catch: the movie you saw on screen is only half the story. Tonight, we're joined by the incredible Kelsi (@superkickingit / Kelsi's Nostalgic Life) to dive deep into the official Willow novelization. WHAT DID THE MOVIE CUT OUT?

"The Fabulous Baker Boys" Revisited Michelle Pfeiffer slid across a piano and onto the list of most iconic moments in cinema. Yes, back in 1989, whether you had seen "The Fabulous Baker Boys" or not, you knew The Scene. Critics and the Academy were makin' whoopee with the film, even if audiences weren't as enamored. But now, decades later, how does this old song and dance stack up? Were real-life bros Beau and Jeff Bridges convincing ... as brothers? And is this Pfeiffer's finest hour (or two)? The Old Roommates get deep into their "Feelings" and revisit it all through their middle-aged lens. Have a seat and get a drink. The show's about to begin.Follow Old Roommates on social media @OldRoommates for bonus content and please give us a rating or review!#MichellePfeiffer #JeffBridges #BeauBridges #JenniferTilly

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). Pay for your fresh fruits before eating them, take off your fake eyelashes before bed, and join us as we celebrate Black History Month with a movie far more thoughtful and prescient than the title would have you believe, The Brother from Another Planet!The Brother from Another Planet is a 1984 film written and directed by John Sayles and starring Joe Morton, Steve James, Leonard Jackson, Maggie Renzi, Renn Woods, Tom Wright, David Strathairn, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rosetta LeNoire, Fischer Stevens & Bill Cobbs.Visit 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

Send a textToday we're doing 80s movies everyone should see at least once. Not “the best films ever made,” not “deep cuts,” but the iconic, can't-believe-you-haven't-seen-it kind of movies. These are the ones that shaped pop culture, launched careers, defined genres, and basically taught a whole generation how to talk, dress, dream, and occasionally overreact in slow motion.I've seen every one of these multiple times, and if you've missed a few, you've just got some fun homework.Support the show

Train With Duane!This week on Geek Off The Street, we're doing a “How Have You Not Seen This?” episode as we talk about our collective first watch of Jim Henson's, The Dark Crystal! We get into all things like the incredible production from the puppeteering to the set design, but we also talk about how aged the movie has become and how some of the story elements are a bit boring and slow.

Zemeckis) Starring: Bob Hoskins (3x People's Sexiest Man Alive), Christopher Lloyd, and Joanna Cassidy. This blend of hand drawn animation, Warner & Disney characters, and work in volumes was a trailblazing piece of filmmaking 30 + years ago, but how does that hold up against the master works of today (Jason X, Morbius), and does it really hold up at all?

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie is too choked up to sign off of the podcast, Doug is impressed with how accurately an animated film depicts the horror of a cross-continent boat trip, and one of us is severely congested while the other has foot odor issues.

When evil terrorists have hijacked a passenger plane flying through Europe filled with mostly Americans and they're headed towards Beirut...who are you gonna call?  The Delta Force! Yup smack in the middle of a now legendary run of B-Grade genre films (Missing In Action, Breakin', Cobra), Cannon Films decided to make a statement with this star-studded political action thriller starring Chuck Norris (The Way of the Dragon, Code of Silence, Walker Texas Ranger) and the late, great Lee Marvin (Cat Ballou, The Dirty Dozen) who lead this titular elite squad of warriors to the rescue.  Not only that but one half of the Israeli producing duo which ran Cannon - Menahem Golan (Over the Top, Enter the Ninja, The Apple) - actually decided to direct it himself. ;) When first released amidst a true glut of military-themed action films in '86, this was only a middling success but since then, it has garned a devoted cult following thanks to it likely overqualifed cast filled with former Oscar-winners (Marvin, Martin Balsam, George Kennedy, Shelly Winters) and an EXTREMELY catchy theme song created by Alan Silvestri!  Well that and we get to see Norris' McCoy dispatch bad guys with missiles from his motorcycle....Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon  Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug goes out on a limb and brands both animal murder and sexual assault bad, Jamie assumes that the choosing of movies for the podcast probably has a lot to do with what is free on Tubi, and we both take the low hanging fruit of talking smack on the great state of Florida.

Rollie Tyler (Bryan Brown) is a special effects man working on low budget movies in New York City when one day, the FBI suddenly comes calling and they have a unique assignment for him.  They would like for him to stage the fake murder of a mobster (Jerry Orbach) whom they recently arrested and will make a witness.  So Rollie takes on this assignment and everything goes as planned.....or DOES it? :o Suddenly the Feds are after HIM and the NYPD is on the trail too lead by Detective Leo McCarthy (Brian Dennehy).  And what results is a fun cat-and-mouse thriller with Rollie trying to evade the bad guys with his own unique bag of special effects tricks!  Directed by Robert Mandel (School Ties, The Substitute), this grew into a well-liked cult hit in the '80's eventually spawning both a sequel and inspiring a TV series of the same name. Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon  Send us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
