After Hours 1985 1:03:25

2M ago1:03:25

1:03:25

Send us a Text Message. This movie is the perfect all-nighter watch. NYC in the mid 80s'? Please and thank you! And much like the misadventures of Griffin Dunne in this Martin Scorsese masterpiece, After Hours, I just couldn't get this one done.

1:18:01

Send us a Text Message. Join us on the flat circle, for the first in a seemingly endless loop of Terminator films. One and done. We're giving you the best of the lot. Best of the decade.

1:01:09

Send us a Text Message. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! If you repeat the word apathetic three times, plan on a late night pep talk from your three favorite hosts. One that will likely keep you from ever uttering that word again. Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Tim Burton, Danny Elfman and the year 1988. What more do you want?! This movie leav…

The 'Burbs 1989 1:02:45

10M ago1:02:45

1:02:45

Send us a Text Message. It's October and there's a lot of nefarious things going on over at Mayfield Place. The Klopek's have moved next door, and to say they're anything less than completely sus is a vast understatement. The paranoia sweeps though the cul-de-sac goes like witching rumors through Salem Village. This is the Tom Hanks that we all cam…

Send us a Text Message. This is pulled from an episode that will never see the light of day. There was an on-air fistfight etc. I won't bore you with the details, but it is a nice story to warm you up for the impending onslaught of anachronistic holiday stimuli.By Tony, Phil, Thom

Send us a Text Message. If you consider California penal code sections 484207, A597, and 217, theft, kidnapping, cruelty to animals and attempted murder something to laugh about, then you agree that Dragnet is a 1987 crown jewel of comedy.

Over The Edge 1979 1:05:48

1y ago1:05:48

1:05:48

Send us a Text Message. We're all wasted! Not really. Come to think of it, they didn't even end up using that song in the movie. They didn't use Light Up The Sky by Van Halen either. We can't help but wonder where or how the director would have deployed them. Using Cheap Trick, The Cars, Van Halen (You Really Got Me), and The Ramones tells us he kn…

1:01:37

Send us a Text Message. Totally awesome video games! That's what Joysticks promises. Eugene, McDorfus and King Vidiot are running interference while we chew up the scenery of this 1983 T&A buffet.

1:07:25

Send us a Text Message. Let's do some sweet ass sliding through this BMX classic called RAD. A 1986 right of passage for those who had the passion for all things wheels. Once you retired those primitive four-wheeled strap-ons, it was time to go wheels up on a skateboard or BMX bike. In the off chance that you still had all your own teeth, you were …

1:23:08

Send us a Text Message. Get in! I'll explain on the way. Used Cars was one in an endless loop of early '80s movies watching over us as we plopped ourselves down in front of the cathode-ray tube babysitter. And we flew in an expert for this episode.

Unrivaled 80s Albums Minisode 14:24

1+ y ago14:24

14:24

Send us a Text Message. Here we take a glancing blow at identifying some of the best albums of the 1980s....in our humble opinion of course. We're not deep diving, so don't judge, we've already handled that. Gotta say that I personally think that Duran Duran's first album should be included. However, the inclusion of Is There Something I Should Kno…

Beat Street 1984 1:25:31

1+ y ago1:25:31

1:25:31

Send us a Text Message. It's Just Begun....that song should have been used in the Roxy battle scene according to the Beat Street dancers. As one of the all time great breakdance tracks, it would have been epic. Hollywood always wants to have its own way though, and Arthur Baker's Breakers Revenge became iconic despite that overruling. That factoid …

Send us a Text Message. This ain't no trip to Lapland, and it's not your moms plum pudding. And it's most certainly not a hallucination brought on by Russian vodka poisoned by Chernobyl! What it is, is a Yuletide celebration to rival any stocking stuffer you're sure receive. Let us never forget the sentiments of Frank Cross at this time of year. Th…

Send us a Text Message. Get in buddy! We’re talking about a beautifully tragic tale. A story so improbably perfect for all of us self-avowed cretins. It was born evil and has possessed every youth who’s watched it since. How about we all agree Christine is about as magnificent a movie as you’ll ever experience in October. Just ask Phil!
