#111 - "The Right Stuff" (1983) with Jeff Atkins, Ben Carpenter, and Darby Mirocha 1:05:05

3h ago1:05:05

1:05:05

Before writer-director Philip Kaufman brought Tom Wolfe's best-selling book to the big screen in 1983, astronauts in movies were often just alien hunters or asteroid chasers. But under Kaufman's direction, spaceflight became a deeply human endeavor, focusing on inner strength rather than external threats. This 80s flick, which runs for over three h…

Have you ever wondered how far you'd go to keep your weekend plans alive? Picture this: it's the summer of 1989, and two young employees are ready for a dream getaway at their boss's swanky beach house.

#109 - "Mr. Mom" (1983) with Ben Carpenter 1:13:39

20d ago1:13:39

1:13:39

It’s easy to see why this 80s Flick resonated at the time. Layoffs in traditionally American male workplaces, especially the auto industry, had landed innumerable men on their living room couches - a stark contrast to the seventies when a total of six men reported being stay-at-home dads in America. That’s right, just six. This resulted in many of …

1:10:29

If you've ever dabbled in DIY home improvement, you'll likely empathize with the calamities depicted in this often overlooked 80s flick. It's the classic tale of renovation gone awry, starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long as a couple who snag a mansion at a bargain, only to realize after the deal is done why it was priced so low. While the critics we…

#108 - "InnerSpace" (1987) with Nicholas Pepin (from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast) and Ben Carpenter 1:10:19

1M ago1:10:19

1:10:19

Shrinking someone down in order to inject them into someone else, is an absurd movie concept! Producer Steven Spielberg and director Joe Dante knew this, so rather than maintain the bland seriousness of 1966’s “Fantastic Voyage”, they decided to have fun with it, and made a better movie because of it. Lt. Tuck Pendleton, a daring Navy pilot, volunt…

#107 - "Christine" (1983) with Laramy Wells (from "Moving Panels" Podcast) 58:07

2M ago58:07

58:07

Stephen King taught us some important lessons while ascending to his rightful place as America’s most prolific author of horror and supernatural fiction. For instance: don’t dump pig’s blood on Carrie, never stay at The Shining’s Overlook Hotel, and for goodness sake, tread lightly when dealing with a 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine. King takes …

2M ago1:16:42

1:16:42

In the early 1980s baseball films were rare with the most notable being the 1976 comedy The Bad News Bears. However Barry Levinson’s 1984 Oscar nominated flick sparked a resurgence leading to over 18 baseball themed films in the next decade. On the surface it appears as a traditional sports biopic, but it reveals deeper, almost artistic layers upon…

The first week has been unexpected, exciting, and even a little scary. I’m now 80 miles into the hike and just starting to feel that I’m finding my way. John has returned home, as originally planned, and the tenor of the hike has shifted as I’m on my own. I’ve been overwhelmed by the beauty of this hike, I’ve been surprised by the difficulty, and I…

3M ago1:00:13

1:00:13

The first "Jaws" movie, directed by a young up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg, is a masterpiece; an incredibly tense, well-made, and well-acted film that created the summer blockbuster as we know it and changed the movie business forever. The first sequel, Jaws 2, can’t reach the heights of the original but it was a respectable enough follow-up. …
