Hello again and welcome to another Industry Night. For the month of December I have had the pleasure of taping this show in WREN restaurant in the Watermark Hotel. This area is the new shiny & bright Capital One Center. An entire town center has been built up on the other side of the highway from what you traditionally think of Tysons. Joining me today is Tara McNamara the Chief Experience Officer AND she was the first person I met here at the Watermark — a little over 2+ years ago when the property opened —  and she can really talk about the hotel's growth and all the amazing amenities! Later in the show, I am talking to Restaurateur, TV Host, Wine Trailblazer and now cookbook author — Rose Previte. Rose and I go way back. She reached out to me when she was launching her first restaurant, Compass Rose. She had a very clear vision of what she wanted and knowing that she was new to the restaurant game she smartly engaged with people in the industry to verify she was on the right path. And, needless to say she was. After opening Compass Rose to massive accolades the Michelin-starred Maydan followed as did Kirby Club and now the new Medina.

Humorously showing the emotional pain of teenagers aching for true love amid the social expectations of high school, Sixteen Candles turned a teen sex comedy into an pop cultural phenomenon that was watched by every '80s kid. Mentored by National Lampoon, known for its intentionally offensive humor, John Hughes imbued relatable and aspirational three-dimensional characters with racist and misogynistic attitudes. The depiction of a Chinese foreign exchange student nodded to audiences' prejudices that Eastern cultures were a joke, worthy of our disrespect. And, Sixteen Candles bolstered rape culture by depicting an aspirational man who demonstrated that even longtime girlfriends were disposable sex objects. Further, it taught teen girls that their value was in a "hot bod," and that if someone had sex with them when they were passed out, it wasn't rape. Teen film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back at how Hughes' l teen film greatly impacted a generation in ways we are still trying to correct.

St. Elmo's Fire was a response to the teen films of the 1980s, examining what happens after college.  Joel Schumacher crafted an authentic and progressive story about the emotional lives and professional challenges of seven recent Georgetown grads, reflecting young women focused on career rather than marriage and introducing the idea of a gay lead character (a baby step, but a step). However, as film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, discuss, the dramedy also promoted shocking values, including beautiful and fun characters Jules and Billy coking it up and an adorable portrayal of Kirby stalking the object of his obsession. 

Before John Hughes, a movie couldn't be made that was just about who was going to take a girl to prom. But with a high school divided into the haves and the have nots, Hughes was able to make a love story of Romeo and Juliet proportions. The relationshp was bigger than working-class Andie and Yuppie son Blane: there was Duckie, the OG simp. Pretty in Pink (1986) was ahead of its time in celebrating emotional males with feminine energy and highlighting a parentified child dealing with a deeply depressed dad. However, it doesn't go far enough. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back at the teen classic with a modern lens and call out the impact it had on a generation.

When you're looking to explain the 1980s, look at Risky Business. Teens were attracted by the music video featuring Tom Cruise dancing in his underpants that ran nonstop on MTV. Teens watched and rewatched the "Old Time Rock n' Roll" music video, filled with resonant clips of a line of beautiful prostitutes walking into Joel's house, a Porshe screeching at top speed to outrace Guido the Killer Pimp, and Cruise sporting Ray-Bans and looking so, so cool. The video had a purpose: it got kids and teens to watch the R film in the theater or on HBO. Joel's mother's fragile egg was a precious item, but it wasn't meaningless: it represented the kids of the '80s. And, as film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, explain, '80s teens -- like the egg -- came out of the experience slightly cracked. The duo look at how a teen sex movie in the Reagan era impacted a generation.

Pour yourself a cup of ambition, this episode covers what's considered the most successful political movie of all time -- wonderfully executed as a broad comedy. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back at the 1980 Jane Fonda-Lily Tomlin-Dolly Parton revenge fantasy with a modern lens and evaluate how it reflects the attitudes of the day that affected a generation. 

In 1980, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor's follow-up to their 1976 hit Silver Streak was highly anticipated. Despite critic's panning the film, Stir Crazy did double the business, was the 3rd highest grossing film of the year, and broke box office records. The prison buddy comedy holds up 40 years later, largely because two of Hollywood's most powerful black figures (Pryor and director Sidney Poitier) made it. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, examine Stir Crazy with a modern lens and discuss how it influenced a generation. 

The Outsiders (1983) is one of the most popular teen books in the 1980s, and teens couldn't wait to see the movie directed by one of the biggest names in cinema. Featuring a Who's Who of Who Was and Who Would Become Famous -- including Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Emilio Estevez, Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Leif Garrett, and Tom Waits -- it was a film both genders lined up to see in 1983. Not only was this a period piece, written by a then teenage S.E. Hinton in the mid-60s, it also depicts a band of brothers born on the "wrong side of the tracks" -- and Hinton was female. The screenwriter who adapted the book was also a woman, Kathleen Rowell, who went under cover at a high school to be sure the film addressed how teens interacted in the early 1980s. Using a modern lens, film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, examine this Francis Ford Coppola classic with an eye to how a teen girl may have influenced a generation of teen boys on this episode of "'80s Movies: A Guide to What's Wrong with Your Parents." After listening, let us know your opinion on how you believe the film impacted a generation in the comments below or on social media (@80sMovieGuide).

Police Academy (1984) was both a product and ahead of its time. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, examine the ensemble comedy through the modern lens to identify how it unexpectedly defies stereotypes while still falling into the same old '80s traps when it comes to objectifying women. 

Based on the popular Parker Brothers game for kid 8 and up, Clue (1985) is a shocker of a family film: nearly all of its characters are defined by their sexual transgressions. In this episode, film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, examine how the homophobic and sex-shaming jokes perpetuated unhelpful stereotypes and how the oppressive mindset affected a generation.

Weird Science (1985) marks the halfway point in John Hughes’ domination of the teen film in the ’80s. The film seems to be trying to put a stop to films where women were only seen as sex objects, but he misses the mark. In this teen sex comedy, two horny high schoolers Frankenbuild the “perfect woman” ... to have sex with. In this episode of '80s Movies: A Guide to What’s Wrong with Your Parents podcast, movie authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at what the comedy classic tries to achieve in versus the actual takeaway.  

Back to the Future (1985) is the ultimate '80s movie: so '80s, so timeless, so universally beloved. It's also so '80s in its reckless treatment of women, mainly how men feel that Lorraine's (Lea Thompson) sexuality is theirs for the taking -- that includes her future husband, the local bully, and even her son. Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back with a modern lens at one of their favorite movies and help you remember what you never realized about this Robert Zemeckis-Steven Spielberg comedy classic.

Urban Cowboy took America from disco to country within weeks, its popularity buoying a desire for all things "country-western" from Wranglers and boots to riding pretend animals.Film authorities Tara McNamara and Riley Roberts look at the film thorugh the modern lens to assess what it tells us about life in 1980 and now.

FLETCH (1985) is Chevy Chase's favorite character - and the favorite of most of Gen X. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at the PG-rated film through a modern lens. While it doesn't carry shockers of bad behavior like other '80s comedies, it's there...just as Irwin M. Fletcher throws away most of the zingers, it's the subtleties that shows how '80s humor influenced a generation.

When director Alan Parker took on a script about the New York High School of the Performing Arts, he intended to make a film that "took a hard look at a subject that had been overly glamorized." As much as he intended to show the sacrifice and pursuit of craft, that's not what audiences took away. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back at the film that gave the world a song that would stick in the minds of dreamers everywhere.

In their follow up to Animal House, Harold Ramis and Doug Kenney toned down the misogyny and upped the Slobs vs Slobs comedy. Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at Caddyshack with the modern lens, identifying how it used comedy to chip away at authority and the pompousness of the rich, but also perpetuated stereotypes about women that took a couple of decades to shake.   

Porky's (1981) took '80s audiences back to the '50s -- truly. It was a masive hit with audiences (mostly teen boys) laughing it up at the pranks, ribbing, and hijinks of a bunch of Ft. Lauderdale teens who take on a redneck strip club owner in the next country -- and that was the problem. The objectification and degradation of women for a laugh influenced others (mostly teen boys) to copy the behavior for a laugh themselves. Film critics Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look through the peephole at how the definitive teen sex comedy sparked decades of sexual harassment.

Eddie Murphy's widely popular HBO comedy special was watched, rewatched and quoted by young Gen X'rs. Unfortunately, the anti-gay sentiment was also massively influential at a time when society needed assurances about the LGBTQ community, not validation to ostracize and demean them (in recent years, Murphy has apologized). Youth film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at Delirious with historical perspective and the impact it made on a generation. 

Prince and the Revolution set the world on fire with what may be the best music launch of all time: a film that essentially served as a music video marketing tool and established Prince as a creative genius and sexual dynamo. However, as mother-daughter hosts Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, discuss, it showed the kids of the '80s that intense love means "I Would Die 4 U" with a few punches along the way. 

Judy Benjamin just wanted to get married, but life had other plans. We've come a long way, baby...or have we? Movie critics Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back at Goldie Hawn's feminist classic about a woman finding her identity and her independence, but as Riley explains, the girls of Gen Z may still be holding on to some of the problems and attitudes that were holding Judy back. 

As more and more skeevy stories about middle-age men who dated (and inevitably raped) young teens come out, you gotta wonder: how did they ever think this was okay (in fact, failed Senatorial candidate Roy Moore actually still says it was okay). While it's NOT OKAY, there was definitely a message being pushed in pop culture that's evident in the movies of the '80s that teen girls were obsessed with sex and, in fact, the girls were the predators Take 1980's Little Darlings, starring two of the most famous teen girls of the era, Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal. It's about two 15-year-old campers who bet they can lose their virginity first - and one of them has her heart set on her 30-year-old camp counselor/high school teacher (it's okay to throw up). Film critics Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Y, discuss what was going on in the '80s, how this film was such a massive success at the time, and how the messages the film sent impact society today.

The collaboration of National Lampoon and John Landis was hilarious and successful, so successful it inspired knockoffs for years to come. Film authorities Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at how 1978's fresh, original, hysterical film about screw ups gave us the '80s and influenced generations in the worst of ways.

The Terminator (1984) defined gender expectations for '80s teens: men are emotionless, gun-toting, muscular machines; a woman's power was in her womb. Mother-daughter hosts Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, discuss what makes James Cameron's first film so fresh, invigorating, and beloved while also looking at the impact it made on those who grew up in the era.

Ghostbusters is a horror-comedy that shook 1984 - a massive hit with a even bigger hit song. Families flocked to the theater to watch three paranormal scientists and Winston exorcise Manhattan, not thinking of the unintentional messages in the film. Film journalist Tara McNamara, Gen X, and teen movie critic Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at the Bill Murray-Dan Aykroyd-Harold Ramis classic through the modern lens to see how the film affected '80s kids and how the film holds up with kids today.

A Nightmare on Elm Street changed up the teen slasher film by offering something new: a monster could come for you in your sleep. Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara, Gen X, and 18-year-old Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at how the film holds up, why it's so scary, and what it tells you about your parents.

When Joel Schumacher took over THE LOST BOYS (1987) from Richard Donner, he changed nearly everything in the script, creating a metaphorical fairy tale encapsulating several issues facing teens and families in the mid-80s. Can you name them all and do you agree that's what Schumacher was trying to say? Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Y,  apply a modern lens to the horror comedy that gave us the Two Coreys and reveal insights you never saw coming. 

BEETLEJUICE (1988) launched the career of Winona Ryder, secured the future of Tim Burton, and allowed Michael Keaton to create one of the cinema's most original creatures. Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara, Gen X, and Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look at how the comedy holds up today and it's cringey '80s moments - including how suicide is a punchline over and over again.

Movie critics and analysts Tara McNamara, Gen X, and daughter Riley Roberts, Gen Z, look back at HEATHERS with a modern lens at the very real elements of high school life it was satirizing and compare it to the challenges of today. They examine if the Winona Ryder-Christian Slater classic may have been the first domino in our now all-too common world of high school shootings and bomb threats.

XANADU is one of the 1980s biggest flops, but it is also rather magnificent. It's a cult classic with passionate fans who love the music, the style, the dance numbers, and the cheesy special effects. Tara McNamara and Riley Roberts look at the Olivia Newton-John-Gene Kelly roller disco musical from the Gen X and Gen Z perspective while also looking at the subtle message the film sends about the role of the ideal woman in 1980.

Host Bill Thill meets up with critic, journalist, and digital content creator Tara McNamara at the Cinemark Theaters in Los Angeles to discuss movies of the 1980's. Tara has been a critic for Common Sense Media for 15 years, written for Variety and Fandango and is the founder of 80sMovieGuide.com. She also produces the podcast, "80's Movies: A Guide To What's Wrong With Your Parents", a show she co-hosts with her daughter. Tara is an expert on the films of the 1980's and her unique take on the decade, that was defined by teen movies and MTV, will both delight and horrify...and somehow that seems appropriate! Film fans, and those harboring prom photos that feature big hair, will enjoy this trip down movie memory lane.--And we promise not to tell your kids!

Valley Girl (1983) is the most '80s movie ever made. With the rare female director in place, it turns what was meant to be a teenspolitation flick into a romance for the ages. Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara, of the MTV generation, and Riley Roberts, age 17, look at the movie through the lens of today to identify why Nicolas Cage's first leading role is so awesome, and yet, so, so wrong. 

Gen X Tara McNamara & Gen Z Riley Roberts look at 1984's Tom Hanks-Daryl Hannah starrer SPLASH, the mermaid story that features nudity, hot and wild fish sex, and a corrupt businessman, all under a Disney label. But, in a sense, it's the anti-Disney princess movie. 

Movie critics Tara McNamara (Today, The Insider, Fandango, Common Sense Media) and daughter 17-year-old Riley Roberts (Fanlala, KidsPickFlicks) look at how the 1988 Brat Pack western YOUNG GUNS affected a generation then and now.

Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara and Riley Roberts, 17, identify why THE KARATE KID has stood the test of time, why Gen X'ers identify with it so much, and what it's like in high school today (the answer is eye-opening).  https://80smovieguide.com/karate-kid/

Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara and 17-year-old Riley Roberts explore '80s rom-com treasure OVERBOARD, and wonder why no one called out all the white slavery and stuff.

The duo have been reviewing and covering films for more than a decade on national TV programs like TODAY, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, INSIDE EDITION. They analyze what's great about 80s movies ..and what's super. duper. messed. up.

Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara and 17-year-old Riley Roberts playfully look at why Bull Durham is the favorite rom-com of men and give fans a different way to think about the classic's impact. Also, does the classic still work today?

Also, I’ll tackle the lack of visibility of Latinos in Hollywood films with my good friend and film contributor on The Insider and Entertainment Tonight, Tara McNamara (29:30). Why are we so invisible when we should also be at the forefront of film and pop culture? And finally, I discuss Trump, the wall, our new Mexico feud and sanctuary cities with The Wall Street Journal's Laura Meckler (20:41). Will cities abide by the new immigrant proposals?
