In the debate over favorite James Bond actors, Timothy Dalton seems to get the short end of the stick, having only featured as 007 for two films.

| 26 Apr 2017 | Episode #128: "Dwaynes, Planes & Cosmic Keys" | Masters of the Universe (1987) | 01:41:58 | |
John went to C2E2 in Chicago this last weekend and ended up on the WGN Evening News. We geek out over old-school He-Man cartoons, Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, and we open up a dimensional gateway to Eternia so we can talk about Masters of the Universe.

| 10 May 2017 | Episode #130: "But Do I Look Good?" | Less Than Zero (1987) | 01:29:11 | |
Most of our 80s movies have been the nostalgia-filled romps through the sporting world, fantasy adventures, time traveling teens, or the high school hangups of John Hughes... this episode we take a turn into a dark corner of the 80s with Less Than Zero. Based on the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis (writer of American Psycho), this film follows three friends during the winter break after their high school graduation. Clay has gone east to attend an Ivy League school, leaving his girlfriend Blair and best friend Julian back in Los Angeles, where Blair is modeling and Julian has failed at being a record producer. To top it all off, Julian and Blair have fallen prey to the LA drug and party scene. When Clay comes back home for Christmas, he realizes that he might be the only one who can pull his friends out of this pit. | |||

David has a bit of a dysfunctional relationship with his father and — by default — the rest of the human race. As a result, some decisions he made 10 years ago, coinciding with a run-in with an alien race that may have been our creators, has lead him to where he is today: alone on a dead planet, tinkering and learning the flute.

| 15 Jun 2017 | Episode #137: "Groovy" | Evil Dead II (1987) | 01:04:32 | |
Legend has it, that it was written by the dark ones: NECRONOMICON EX MORTES; Roughly translated...The Book of the Dead. To trace the origin of the Book, we must go back...back...to a day when spirits ruled the earth. When the seas ran red with blood. It was this blood that was used to ink the book. It was also with this blood that we recorded this podcast. Even though that doesn't make any sense at all. But it doesn't have to... it's Evil Dead II. 1.

| 09 Aug 2017 | Episode #145: "They Love Everybody But You" | Hamburger Hill (1987) | 01:44:19 | |
Most Vietnam War movies deal with the psychological torment of war and how soldiers left as idealistic young men, but came back scarred physically and mentally... and having to face a nation that was not proud of their sacrifices. Hamburger Hill tells a different story: one of a band of brothers trying to do the impossible in the midst of war, racism, and the knowledge that they may now be outcasts even in their own country.

| 10 Jul 2015 | Episode #5: CROM!! | 01:35:50 | |
What is best in a podcast? To crush a movie discussion, see a box of pizza driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the listening audience.

College is expensive. Harvard Law School even more so. But if you've just been cut off by your wealthy parents mere weeks before beginning your first semester of law school, what do you do? Do you work your way through law school? Do you take out a student loan? Apparently in 1986, you overdose on tanning pills and Jheri curl your hair. | |||

| 09 Mar 2016 | Episode #57: Compliance | 00:56:32 | |

The best we can do is talk about movies... and what better movie from the Time Dilation genre than Flight of the Navigator? Sit down, Navigator. Enjoy! | |||
