Two old friends from Wisconsin talk about good (and bad) movies from the 1980s. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be glad you didn't pay for it.
Hopefully the whole podcast is here. There were issues. It's been a hot minute since we had an overlong podcast. Matt finds religion. Someone finds a rocket. A new standard of beauty is defined. And nazis. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mattanddoug/message

Close your eyes. Hum that familiar John Williams tune. Listen for the crack of the bullwhip. Then drop all that and get ready for a pale imitation. Sound clips from old VHS recordings that are over 30 years old. Matt's music choices are questioned, plus we completely forget a segment and have to backtrack. All this and more in this week's episode. …
Put your sunglasses on, spit out your gum and kick some ass. In a way this is a prima facie example of what this podcast is or should be. Talking about an 80s movie of questionable stature and riffing on other shit. Had an audio issue and Doug was a dick, but anyway...Matt as a ventriloquist? Also why Indigo is the most important color. --- Send in…
