1
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:16,039
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Hello, and welcome to a podcast super show.

00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:19,199
We've got five folks represented here between book author and

00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:22,960
podcasters and just a bunch of crazy movie people who

00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:25,839
love movies, love to talk about movies, and maybe a

5
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:29,000
little little friendly debate on movies. Today, we are here

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,679

00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:34,600
the best for movies. I am going to be moderating

00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,320
this one. I am John Reid. I am the host

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,679
of the thirty something Movie Podcast. We do movies that

10
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:42,759
are hearting their thirtieth anniversary, so this year being twenty

11
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:45,159
twenty three, we are in nineteen ninety three. We've been

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,079
doing some fun stuff with Jurassic Park, Groundhog Day, Fugitive,

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,479

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,280
So we are over there at the thirty something Movie Podcast.

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,880
I am going to kick it first over to Dayton. Dayton,

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,759
tell us a little bit about your podcast, and you

17
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,679
are representing the year nineteen eighty one, So tell us

18
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:04,959
about yourself and tell us what was fun about eighty one.

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,159
Speaker 2: Yes, Hi, thank you, John. I am Daton Johnson. I

20
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:09,760
am the host of the Documented Seventies fen podcast. What

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,319
we do is We talk obviously movies, music, We cover

22
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,959
some comic books, some books, and we recently did two

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,439
episodes on Ready Player, one the movie and the book.

24
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:19,560
I'm lucky and blessed to have a lot of friends

25
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,280
that like to nerd out about such things. And everybody

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,120
on this current episode had either been on or will

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,719
soon be on John on the podcast, So thank you

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,840
to everybody there. Eighty one is important because that was

29
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,480
right when I started going to the movies alone, without

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840
the parents or whatever, and I just have very fond

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,760
memories of that. And also it was the year my

32
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:41,359
wife was born, so that is another reason why it's

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
my favorite year for movie. So there you.

34
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Go, and we've got Dave. He is representing nineteen eighty four. Dave,

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,120
you've got a couple of different projects that you have

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,040
worked on and in the work, So why don't you

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040
tell us a little bit about you and nineteen eighty four.

38
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I'm the only one here that doesn't actually

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,280
have a podcast of his own, but I do have

40
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:02,439
a YouTube cha where I talk about American soccer. I

41
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:06,480
do short form content designed for the new fan or

42
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,520
the curious fan. If you're not anti soccer, you don't

43
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:11,800
hate it, but you just don't have a way in

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,800
I could simplify that for everybody. So for new and

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,879
curious fans, short form content is on YouTube. It's called

46
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,719
American Soccer Quick Kicks. I'm having a lot of fun

47
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:22,919
with that in this gaining some traction. I am also

48
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:27,039
the author of the epic sword and sorcery fantasy series

49
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,039
of novels called Galahads Doom. Very excited about that because

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,919
I actually the third volume of that just came out

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,919
earlier this year, and I'm very pleased with how it

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,319
turned out. So Galahads Doom dot com and check out

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,879
my books.

54
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Excellent. Jeff, you got the fix for nineteen eighty six.

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,639
Why don't you tell us little bit about your podcast

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,280
and what you love about nineteen eighty six?

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 4: Thank you, John.

58
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 5: I am Jeff Johnson, co host of a film by podcast.

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,400
That's where we like to wax intellectual about our favorite directors,

60
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,280
their underrated hits, and what we love most about them.

61
00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:58,639
In between that, we have found the time to do

62
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:02,479
a couple fun limited series, the first of which was

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,240
one called nineteen eighty six, which was all about to

64
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,560
celebrating the movies in nineteen eighty six to determine whether

65
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,680
or not eighty six was in fact the best year

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,479
for cinema in the eighties, and after several people had

67
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:17,680
a strong opinion, we find ourselves here today.

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: I didn't say anything about nineteen eighty four. Let me

69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,280
say this, Yeah, I'm willing to entertain debate on if

70
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,680
it was the best year for movies, although it's definitely

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,719
a contender, And honestly, I think we have the four

72
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:32,000
best years of the decade represented here. But when you

73
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,800
take everything, all aspects of pop culture all together and

74
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:40,319
consider what was the best pop culture year, so movies, music,

75
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,879
TV shows, folks, comics and everything, I think nineteen eighty

76
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:47,240
four is the clear runaway winter when you take an

77
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,319
all into consideration.

78
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Even though the McRib came out in eighty one.

79
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: See, like I.

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,599
Speaker 3: Said, I'm already detecting a bias, but I'm going to go.

81
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:00,159
Speaker 1: And then Jason, Jason is bringing us up here the

82
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,759
end of the decade. Nineteen eighty nine was definitely fine. Jason,

83
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,360
tell us a little bit about your podcast and nineteen

84
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,039
eighty nine.

85
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,159
Speaker 6: So my name's Jason Colvin, my best buddy, mister James D. Graves,

86
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:14,560
and I do a podcast called Surely You Can't Be

87
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,920
Serious Podcast. We match up movies against each other or

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,279
music against each other. So we have done Raiders a

89
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:24,560
Lost Ark. We actually matched that up with Back to

90
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,519
the Future from eighty five. We've done The Terminator from

91
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,319
eighty four. We matched that up with Alien. Just recently

92
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,399
we did Cinderella's A Long Cold Winter. We're doing that

93
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,240
against van Halen's OUA one two. So we take two

94
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:37,480
different projects, we match them up, we compare them, and

95
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,839
then we kind of decide a winner. So talking with

96
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,720
you guys, my good friends, I started to make a

97
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:45,600
case for nineteen eighty nine, and I heard objection your

98
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,759
honor nineteen eighty four and eighty six and eighty one,

99
00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:51,319
and so we're here today to talk about those. I

100
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:54,759
love nineteen eighty nine to me because it closes out

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,439
the decade.

102
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: To me, it's the most.

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 6: Eighties of the eighties years, and so eighty nine is

104
00:04:59,879 --> 00:05:02,480
my my personal favorite years. So I'll be interested to

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,240
see where we go and what kind of fun we

106
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,759
can have with this.

107
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Excellent well, so our first segment that we've got here, Jason,

108
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,160
I think you've got some numbers for us. You're going

109
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:13,319
to start off with a little a little math. It

110
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,560
was my understanding there will be no math on this podcast,

111
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:16,959
but I love it.

112
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 6: Box office, Yeah, that's right, just right out of the gate.

113
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,199
We want to go ahead and get these box office

114
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,759
numbers out there because facts are facts, right, So this

115
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000
is really not something we can argue. But let's just

116
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,879
throw this out there and we can talk about what

117
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,839
these numbers mean and the impact of these But here

118
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,040
is a list of the top fifteen at the worldwide

119
00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:44,399

Speaker 4: So curious list right there.

136
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 5: If it please the moderator, I suggest that this last

137
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,199
but information would be stricken from the record.

138
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: I kept hearing eighty nine, eighty nine, O nine.

139
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:44,079
Speaker 3: You mentioned eighty nine way too often, the guys of

140
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,079
being objective.

141
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: Well, let's move on to our next part. Our next part,

142
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,000
we're going to spend a little bit more time in here,

143
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,759
and each person is going to get their opportunity to

144
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,959
talk about kind of the pop culture impact. Pop culture

145
00:06:56,079 --> 00:07:01,519
impact if you got Daton, in terms of how this

146
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:02,680
impacted the culture.

147
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: I selected a few movies from my year to point

148
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:10,639
out that without these, the other years miss out on

149
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,519
some of their more iconic films. So first we're starting

150
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:15,800
off with the film An American Werewolf in London. We're

151
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,199
one of the first early horror films I truly enjoyed

152
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,439
because I also had that nice tinge of comedy and

153
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:22,879
it is definitely frightening for sure, but it also madeor

154
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:24,519
laugh at the same time, so that's very cool. So

155
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
I do have two major pop culture impacts with this

156
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:31,279
one feature film. First, it was the film that inspired

157
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,040
a very young Edgar Wright to become a filmmaker, giving

158
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,240
us classics like Sean of the Dead and Scott Pogrim

159
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:38,879
Versus the World and Baby Driver as well. So that's

160
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,480
the first one that was a movie he saw. I said,

161
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,720
you know what, this is cool. Movies can be two things,

162
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:44,480
not just a horror film, but it'd also be a

163
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:46,759
comedy at the same time. Without that, maybe we don't

164
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:49,639
get the Edgar right that we have today. Second, without

165
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,399
the success of this movie, we do not get the

166
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:56,879
video for Michael Jackson's thriller, same director, same visual effects,

167
00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:59,720
So no American Werewolf in London. We did not get

168
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:02,199
that music video or a short film as it truly

169
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,040
should be called.

170
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I'll jump in there too and say it has the

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,120
greatest cut to credits of almost any movie I've ever seen.

172
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,160
I absolutely love how it cuts to the credits at

173
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:10,839
the end of that movie.

174
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:13,519
Speaker 2: My next film isn't exactly a great movie. In fact,

175
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,000
it's kind of a throwaway, but it is something that

176
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,120
I believe Jeff has talked about and is Prontatu the

177
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,639
spawning So Jason knows about this too, so I know

178
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:24,279
later he kind of denied it. But James Cameron was

179
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,600
hired and was working on this film and basically starving

180
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:29,839
because he wasn't getting paid anything, and has a fever

181
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,399
dream about a cyborg that is chasing him and he

182
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,679
cannot kill it, he cannot get away from it, which

183
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,559
of course inspired the screenplay for The Terminator. So without

184
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,279
the fever dream that he has while making this terrible movie,

185
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,559
we don't get The Terminator, which means we don't get

186
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,919
his version of Aliens, which means we don't get T

187
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,200
two or the Abyss and things like that.

188
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,519
Speaker 4: Like I said, it's kind.

189
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: Of a throwway movie, but it has a major impact

190
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:55,200
on feature films that come afterwards, for sure. Another one

191
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:59,360
from eighty one is both the directorial debut of Lawrence

192
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,639
Ksden and also the feature film debut of Kathleen Turner,

193
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,960
and that's Body Heat. Now, the movie is quite good.

194
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,399
Kathleen Turner is just super sexy, like she was all

195
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:11,240
through the eighties, and it pretty much launched her career,

196
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,759
and without the success of this movie, we don't get

197
00:09:14,759 --> 00:09:17,279
her in Romancing the Stone. Now, I did see the

198
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,840
other people that were in mind for that, it's not

199
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,000
the same without Kathleen Turner. So without Kathleen Turner being

200
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:25,519
in a Ranting Stone, it's not successful. And then Zameccas

201
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,559
does not get to make back to the Future. And

202
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,879
also he enjoyed working with her enough that he didn't

203
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,440
cast her in a voice for of course Hoophram Roger

204
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:36,720
Rabbit as Jessica Rabbit. Now with exuccessive body heat, we

205
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,320
also solidify kasd And as a writer director, leading to

206
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,960
later films like The Big Chill, Silverado, The Accidental Tourist,

207
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,840
and Grand Canyon.

208
00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know Dayton, but adjusted

209
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,960
for inflation, body heat had I want to say something

210
00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:51,320
like four tons of sweat in that movie.

211
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:56,399
Speaker 4: Yes that tracks I'm not a good mass but very sweaty.

212
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,919
Speaker 2: Yes it is okay. This one's for Jeff Escape from

213
00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:04,639
New York, the first feature film collaboration between John Carpenter

214
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,519
and Kurt Russell. The success of the movie, however, wasn't

215
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,919
a huge box office success, but didn't have quite a

216
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360
cult following. It helped Russell get away from his Disney

217
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,639
movie roots and led to of course many Carpenter Russell

218
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,480
films like The Thing and of course Big Trouble in

219
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:22,440
Little China from nineteen eighty six. So no Escape from

220
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,840
New York. We probably don't get The Thing or the

221
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,919
Big Trouble of China at least not at this points.

222
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,519
And Russell, for as his age, he's still having a

223
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000
very good career. He actually is a great Santa Claus.

224
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:34,639
I will say that, yeah, he is. And then one

225
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,799
more I'm just gonna throw here real quick, Stripes.

226
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: Fact.

227
00:10:38,759 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 2: Sure, without the success of Stripes, we don't get Ghostbusters. Sorry,

228
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,919
def Dave, that doesn't happen without the success of that movie.

229
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: It was.

230
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: They were pretty much trying to use the same cast again,

231
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,559
same rider or whatever. But no Stripes, no Ghostbusters. And

232
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,360
I also to rest of mind from my wild Card,

233
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,120
So there you go. Probably no Groundhog Day either, right,

234
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:00,600
Probably not right.

235
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:02,919
Speaker 1: I can just see the look in Dave's eyes because

236
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:04,679
he's up next to talk about nineteen eighty four, and

237
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,679
it's the kind of look that's like a Sam Jackson saying,

238
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,960
oh you were finished, Well, allow me to retort, So, Dave, you're.

239
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Rut okay, I'll take it. Nineteen eighty four it was

240
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,159
a massive year for pop culture impact. So, first of all,

241
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,120
at the top of my list I have this was

242
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:26,240
the year that was the star making turn for Eddie Murphy.

243
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,000
This shot Eddie Murphy into the stratosphere, made him a superstar,

244
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,200
made him the highest paid actors in the decade. Top

245
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,159
box office draw that Eddie Murphy, the superstar that we

246
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,919
know is the legacy of nineteen eighty four. You're welcome.

247
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:41,320
The other thing is that there's something that happened with

248
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,200
the movie industry in nineteen eighty four that changed the

249
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,000
movie industry forever. It left a permanent change on how

250
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,080
movies are rated. This was the year the invention of

251
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,720
the PG thirteen rating. It was Grimlins and Temple of

252
00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:58,720
Doom that both came out in eighty four, and before

253
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,360
the year was over we had three EPG thirteen movies.

254
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,639
The first one to come out was Red Dawn, followed

255
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,919
by Dreamscape. I found out today thanks to the All

256
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,720
Ladies Movie podcast on Twitter, that Flamingo Kid was actually

257
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,159
the first PG thirteen movie made, but it wasn't released

258
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,440
until after those other two. So PG thirteen comes from

259
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,159
nineteen eighty four, and there's no denying that that was

260
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,039
a permanent impact. That's still it's still with us today.

261
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:28,399
Nineteen eighty four also gave the world the phrase electric boogaloo.

262
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,159
This is the perfect all purpose sequel subtitle. You can

263
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,080
add it onto anything and it works. Electric boogaloo. What

264
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,240
would our lives be like without that magical phrase? And

265
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:48,360
also nineteen eighty four gave the world Freddy Krueger, one

266
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:51,639
of the biggest icons in cinema history.

267
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,759
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

268
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,519
Speaker 3: This was also the year. And you can say this

269
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,080
about music too. There's a lot of career defining albums

270
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,679
in nineteen eighty four, but this was a year of

271
00:13:00,799 --> 00:13:05,080
career defining movies for a lot of people, just right

272
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,919
off the top, Like I said, first of all, Beverly

273
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,519
Hills Cop a career defining movie for Eddie Murphy. Romancing

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,480
the Stone was a career defining movie for Michael Douglas,

275
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,480
Kathleen Turner and Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gail and Robert Zimmechis

276
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:22,559
on Romancing the Stone. If that doesn't work, we don't

277
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,679
get back to the future. Or Back to the Future

278
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:29,279
Part two from nineteen eighty nine. So this is also

279
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,600
the career defining year for Prince with Purple Rain, and

280
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:36,600
he had the triple crown with the album, the singles

281
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,039
and the movie. This was a year that Prince owned,

282
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,440
and of course the Terminator. Also we had Arnold Schwarzeneger

283
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,600
with a career defining role in nineteen eighty four with

284
00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:48,919
the Terminator. So those are huge mass of permanent impacts

285
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,000
that nobody can deny. Then we have also a thing

286
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,279
I like about nineteen eighty four is the variety of

287
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,759
fair like. There was just a lot of variety what

288
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,000
I look at. I haven't compared this to the top

289
00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:04,159
tens of the other years here represented, but I look

290
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,840
at the top ten that I just listed real quick,

291
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:08,120
top of the Show for nineteen eighty four, and out

292
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:10,559
of the ten, eight of them are not sequels. Like

293
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,240
there's only two sequels in the top ten, and there

294
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:17,480
are overall very few sequels. Comparably speaking, for the year,

295
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,240
there was a lot of original ideas being introduced, and

296
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:23,799
to that end, we had a lot of franchises introduced

297
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,679
a lot of what proved to be first movies in

298
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,399
a series, or some enduring franchises, things that I would

299
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:30,240
consider a little bit lesser, like Children of the Corn

300
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:32,519
Revenge of the Nerds. They all started in eighty four.

301
00:14:32,679 --> 00:14:34,840
Police Academy had a movie every year for about six

302
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,039
or seven years. Ghostbusters has developed into this huge fandom,

303
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:42,559
this huge fan culture surrounding it, and it's a franchise

304
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:46,360
that continues today. Karate Kid still going strong with Coba

305
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,120
Kai and everything, and of course Nightmare and El Street.

306
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,480
All of these things came out of the original ideas

307
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,879
from nineteen eighty four. And speaking again to the variety

308
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,399
of the fair, it was a big year for comedies

309
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,919
when you consider that ghost Busters set the box office

310
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,559
record all time for a comedy and it was only

311
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,720
broken by Beverly Hills Cop, which also came out before

312
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,600
nineteen eighty four was over, and it became the highest

313
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,799
grossing comedy and it held that title for years. It

314
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,080
was a huge year for horror, which I'm going to

315
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,639
touch on a little bit later in the show. It

316
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,159
was also a massive year for sci fi and sci

317
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,240
fi and fantasy. For genre geeks like me, you can't

318
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,519
beat nineteen eighty four for this year. Quantity of sci

319
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,039
fi fantasy and horror movies that came out, and I'll

320
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,039
be talking about them later. So anyway, that's the pop

321
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:36,799
culture impact of nineteen eighty four. Good luck everybody else.

322
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: I do want to after you mention it, I do

323
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:42,240
want to just hold up and give proof that I

324
00:15:42,279 --> 00:15:44,639
do own break In two, Electric.

325
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:49,279
Speaker 6: Boogaloo, both of those breaking movies, both released in nineteen

326
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:49,799
eighty four.

327
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,919
Speaker 3: Excuse me, there were three break dance movies four and

328
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,399
I won't be talking about the place.

329
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:01,759
Speaker 1: Excuse me you're out here, Jeff, you've got eighty six.

330
00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:04,320
Tell us a little bit about the impact of eighty six.

331
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:07,759
Speaker 5: Well, def Dave, respectfully, I don't need luck when I've

332
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:08,360
got talent.

333
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:10,519
Speaker 4: Let me tell you about nineteen eighty six.

334
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,519
Speaker 5: And John, I know you're keeping score, so I'm not

335
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,279
going to wow you with a bunch of cinema facts

336
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,639
about this year. The impact on popular cult I'm going

337
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,799
to talk about that happened in nineteen eighty six, and

338
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,679
I'm gonna do it with one, with just one movie.

339
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:27,159
Speaker 4: A lot of great films in eighty six.

340
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna use top gun to talk about how

341
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,120
popular culture was impacted massively across the board.

342
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,159
Speaker 4: In nineteen eighty six, really easy.

343
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:37,559
Speaker 5: Everyone had a best friend in eighty six and you

344
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,720
regurgitated talk to me, Goose, and you can be my

345
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,039
wing man any time. But let's talk about fashion for

346
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,679
a second. Ray Band aviators get a forty percent boost

347
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,000
in sales because of Top Gun. Eighty six is considered

348
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,039
the peak of leather jacket fashion, with an average of

349
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:54,759
three out of every five people wearing them.

350
00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:56,399
Speaker 4: And I'm not talking just about the guys.

351
00:16:56,399 --> 00:16:58,799
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the girls too, because Kelly McGillis has

352
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960
a very fashionableather jacket throughout most of the film. The

353
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,039
white T shirt is back in style, having not been.

354
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,519
Speaker 4: Cool since the days of Steve McQueen.

355
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,839
Speaker 5: And now let's talk about music, because thank you to

356
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,000
the Top Gun soundtrack.

357
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: It is on every single radio station with.

358
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,039
Speaker 5: Hits like Danger Zone to Take My Breath Away, and

359
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:17,400
they're still popular to today.

360
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:18,599
Speaker 4: But let's talk about the.

361
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 5: Renewed popularity for bands like The Righteous Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis,

362
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,519
and Otis Redding becoming popular again amongst the young people

363
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:31,279
of nineteen eighty six. Navy recruitment sees a five hundred

364
00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:35,680
percent boost in applicants Go America Top Gun. Another win there,

365
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:42,160
and although pro beach volleyball is organized in the nineteen seventies,

366
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,640
it doesn't get officially recognized by the International Volleyball Federation

367
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:53,119
until a very popular scene in Top Gun featuring san volleyball.

368
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,319
Speaker 4: There you have it.

369
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,079
Speaker 5: Without Top Gun, nineteen eighty six does not get the

370
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:04,759
cultural tsunami amongst fashion, music, our armed services, pro sports.

371
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,720
It doesn't happen without Top Gun, and that is that's

372
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:10,359
why eighty six was such a big impact here for

373
00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:11,720
pop culture.

374
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: And adjusted for inflation, that volleyball scene, I think three

375
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,400
and a half tons of sweat.

376
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: Well, don't forget the baby oil that Scott lauthered him

377
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:19,279
up with.

378
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: Ye I know that my co host Pat who from

379
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,319
our podcast that loves Top Gun, is going to kill

380
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,119
me if I don't just stop for a moment and

381
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,279
say and motorcycle.

382
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's all.

383
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:34,599
Speaker 5: Kawasaki was a I didn't look into that because I thought,

384
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,880
you know what, I don't want to be talking too long.

385
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,319
But yeah, I did have a little tidbit that Kawasaki

386
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,680
gets a significant boost in sales as well.

387
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: Jason, you've got nineteen eighty nine finish off the decade

388
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,240
for us.

389
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: I got three points. I want to bring up number one.

390
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 6: Nineteen eighty nine is the year of the bat bat

391
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,079
Mania swept America like nothing else. And I know all

392
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,440
four of you guys were swept up as well. Well, right,

393
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,240
that was the incredible thing that happened that summer. Yes,

394
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Superman nineteen seventy eight did it first, but Batman nineteen

395
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:12,440
eighty nine did it bigger and better than ever. You

396
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:16,799
had music, you had t shirts, you had toys.

397
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 4: You still can buy the T shirt with a batsymbol

398
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:21,200
on the front. That summer.

399
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 6: It was all about Batman and Joker. It was incredible.

400
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,960
Prince had a number one album. Because of this, Tim

401
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,319
Burton became a superstar director, and it set the pace

402
00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:36,680
for every single DC or Marvel movie that you see today.

403
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,079
Speaker 4: We can't get away from these comic book movies.

404
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 6: And it's because of the success of Batman nineteen eighty nine.

405
00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 4: It is a pop culture nuclear bomb.

406
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:56,559
Speaker 6: Now then, also that summer, you had eighteen sequels. Okay, now, good, bad, ugly,

407
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,400
it doesn't matter. This is when the movie studio said,

408
00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:03,759
let's take what works, give the people what they want.

409
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,880
The continuation of characters that we love still see it today.

410
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,519
If they have success with a movie, you're gonna get

411
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,759
a sequel. So let me just run through this list

412
00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:15,119
of eighteen sequels. Like I said, some are good, some

413
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,359
are not good. But here you go, all eighteen of

414
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,680
these released in nineteen eighty nine.

415
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: You're ready for this. Here we go.

416
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start what I think is the worst and

417
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,440
I'm gonna climb to the best here, okay. Toxic Avenger

418
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:29,400
Part two, American Ninja Part three, Eddie and the Cruisers

419
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,880
Part two, Police Academy Part six, Friday the Thirteenth Part eight,

420
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:38,880
Halloween Part five, Karate Kid Part three, Friday Night two,

421
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:43,039
The Fly two, Night Marin Elm Street five, Fletch Lives,

422
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,400
Star Trek five, Ghostbusters two, License to Kill, Back to

423
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,599
the Future Part two, Christmas Vacation, Indiana, Jones and the

424
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,119
Last Crusade, and Lethal Weapon Part two.

425
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 4: It was the year of the sequel, and I loved it.

426
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 6: Number three nineteen eighty nine gave us a movie that

427
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,519
I'm gonna bet is.

428
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: Not any of you guys top five for that year.

429
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:11,799
Speaker 6: However, its pop culture impact is huge, and that is

430
00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:15,519
the release of the movie The Little Mermaid that re

431
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:21,200
established Disney as a powerhouse entertainment company and gave us

432
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:25,039
like that second Golden age of Disney animated movies.

433
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 4: My daughter loves it.

434
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,599
Speaker 6: That movie came out thirty five years ago and still

435
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,119
today people absolutely love it, and it gave us Beauty

436
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,319
and the Beast and Aladdin and the resurgence of Disney.

437
00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:36,039
Speaker 4: Like it or not.

438
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 6: The Little Mermaid was another pop culture nuclear bomb for

439
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,359
nineteen eighty nine.

440
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: I rest my case.

441
00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: I was ready to have you say electric boogloo after

442
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,000
every one of those part toos. All right, our next

443
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:56,480
segment is the wild Card wild Card Dayton, What have

444
00:21:56,519 --> 00:21:57,400
you got for eighty one.

445
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: Nine eighty one?

446
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 2: You get not one, not two, but three three quality

447
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,839
sword and sorcery movies released that year, and actually mostly

448
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,559
all pretty close together. You have Clashed the Titans, featuring

449
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:11,319
the final work of stop motion artist Ray Harry Hoausen.

450
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Ex Caliber gave us the big screen debuts of Gabriel

451
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,599
Burn and Sarian Hines, and the movie is just fregaging cool.

452
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,559
Dragon Slayer gave us the greatest cinematic Dragon of all time.

453
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:22,799
Not only do I think so, but Gierra Mo del

454
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:25,880
Toro thinks so, and George R. R. Martin thinks so.

455
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,240
And also the filmmakers that did Rain of Fire thought

456
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:31,960
so because they based their dragons off of that dragon

457
00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:32,480
as well.

458
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 4: You guys might not.

459
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,279
Speaker 2: Be a fan, but I am. The thrash metal band

460
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,039
Slayer took their name from the movie Dragon Slayer. Initially

461
00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:44,359
they did call themselves Dragon Slayer. Once the music changed,

462
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,880
they dropped the dragon and just kept Slayer. Now, these

463
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,720
movies kick off what became a pretty much a staple

464
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,920
of the eighties, the sworden sorcery genre. We do get

465
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,119
many more, but I don't think we actually get three

466
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,079
quality ones in the same year, although Deaf Dave might

467
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,799
try to argue that point otherwise.

468
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 4: But for me, those.

469
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: Three are all solid sword and sorcery films, and we

470
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,640
got a lot of really bad ones after the fact.

471
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,440
Now another important big screen debut that impacts movies for

472
00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:12,640
years to come. October fifteenth, nineteen eighty one, at the

473
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,200
Redford Theater in Detroit, The Evil Dead is screened for

474
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,640
the first time. This is big because we get both

475
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,880
Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell on the screen for the

476
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,240
first time. This leads to, of course, two sequels. Evil

477
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,799
Did two and The Army of Darkness, my favorite of

478
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:28,039
the trilogy. By the way, Without this movie, we probably

479
00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:30,240
don't get Dark Man, A Simple Plan for the Love

480
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:32,720
of the Game, and any of the Spider Man movies

481
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,599
starring Toby maguire. A couple of other notable big screen

482
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,559
debuts that affect the eighties. Tom Cruise appears in Endless Love.

483
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,440
He also appears and has a bigger part in Taps,

484
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,200
where he shares screen time with Sean Penn, making his

485
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,039
big screen debut. And let's not overlook Denzel Washington in

486
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:50,200
a not so great movie but carbon Copy. He of

487
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,759
course would appear in a social story in nineteen eighty

488
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:56,279
four and his Oscar winning performance in Glory for nineteen

489
00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:58,839
eighty nine. Those are my few wild cards.

490
00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: So there you go.

491
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: Awesome, Dave, you got eighty four? What have you got?

492
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: So?

493
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:04,079
Speaker 3: First of all, we started to touch on this a

494
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,480
little bit, but for nineteen eighty four, Walcart and maybe

495
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,079
this isn't a big deal to the rest of the

496
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:11,440
people here on this show, but I know I have

497
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,279
an audience out there. This was the Apex year for

498
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,240
breakdancing movies. Okay, we had Breaking and then we had

499
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:21,119
Beat Street, which was actually fantastic And then before the

500
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,240
year was over Break into Electric Boogoloo, so Breaking in

501
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,119
its sequel both came out within the same year. But

502
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,200
it's also not just for breakdance movies, but it's an

503
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,680
apex year for movies regarding music in general. Okay, we

504
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:39,599
had two of the biggest soundtrack driven monster hits of

505
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,119
the eighties that maybe I should have put under pop

506
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,480
culture impact with both Footloose and Purple Rain monster movies

507
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:50,680
monster albums. In addition to that, the other music related

508
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,440
movies that came out in this year. For Loose Purple Rain,

509
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,119
you had Body Rock, you had give my regards to Broadway,

510
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,039
you had Cotton Club, This is Final Tap, and a

511
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:05,640
little movie you may have heard of called Amadeus, which

512
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,240
swept all the Oscars the next year. So is a

513
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:13,519
fantastic year for movies about music. And I have something

514
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,880
here that I think even Jason Colvin is gonna have

515
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,000
to concede to me, and that is nineteen eighty four

516
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:24,079
is the is the year for the best sports movie

517
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,200
of the decade. Robert Redford in The Natural. Don't even

518
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,400
try to change your tune now, Jason. You know The

519
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,920
Natural is the best Sports Movie of the decade. So

520
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:35,720
I mentioned earlier, is a big year for horror, big

521
00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:38,039
year for sci fi and fantasy. This is the main

522
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:41,000
reason that clinchesn't for me in my mind. This is

523
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,720
what closes the deal for nineteen eighty four. This is

524
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:46,359
why I stand on this hill, and it's the sheer

525
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:51,079
quantity of movies that come out in these genres. So

526
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,920
you have the big hitters that we've already named, right,

527
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,119
The Terminator, Star Trek three, The Search for Spot Indiana Jones,

528
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,640
and The Temple of Doom, the very First Nightmare on

529
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,240
ELM's those are all huge. Then you also have movies

530
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,240
like This Is Final Tap, The Last Starfighter, The Adventures

531
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,160
of Buckero, Bonzai, The Never Ending Story Starman Gray Stoke,

532
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,200
The Legend of Tarzan, Run Away with Gene Simmons and

533
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,799
Tom Selling. We have Dream Skate, we have Twenty Ten,

534
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:25,079
we have Dune, we have Repo man Via The Final Battle, Firestarter,

535
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,920
and I'm gonna I got two guilty pleasures here. I

536
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:33,839
think you'll forgive me Sena and Conan the Destroyer. And

537
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,079
when it comes to horror, I'm not a big horror guy,

538
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,480
but I'm looking at this list and I'm thinking this

539
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:40,359
is pretty strong. I don't know if there's a year

540
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:43,680
in the eighties stronger in horror than this year. When

541
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,559
you consider that we have not only Friday the thirteenth,

542
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:49,359
the Final Chapter, we have the very first Children of

543
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,960
the Corn, we have Chud, we have a Nightmare on

544
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,240
Elm Street, and we have Silent Night, Deadly Night.

545
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 4: I don't know.

546
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how you beat that either. So when

547
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,440
you that's a long list I had to get and

548
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,680
I can't believe I haven't gotten any bonus points yet.

549
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:07,440
But the sheer quantity of this, not even counting things

550
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:11,039
like that Illy like Ice Pirates and Brother from Another Planet.

551
00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:13,079
I mean, there's the list. Go it's too long for

552
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,000
nineteen eighty four. It just doesn't stop.

553
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,519
Speaker 4: You didn't even list the greatest Ski movie of all time.

554
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 6: Hot Dog, the movie tweet and her absolute tweetiness.

555
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 3: It's a close second too, of The Natural. I am kidding.

556
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,720
I'm giving that, Sha.

557
00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: I think they should both lose. For those comments.

558
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 7: About Jeff eighty six Deaf Dave, I would ask you

559
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:44,440
to take a look at the abundance of awesome horror

560
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,960
films that came out in nineteen eighty six.

561
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:49,319
Speaker 5: We went at the sidebar on that. However, John, my

562
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,400
wild card is short, sweet and a little sinister, because

563
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,839
here's where I go with a little bit of a

564
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,920
spear campaign against my fellow opponents. Here, here's what it

565
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,079
comes down to. He talks and Oscar walks. Let's talk

566
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,359
box office and the best picture winners. We're all physical

567
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,319
media guys. You know, we know the importance of owning

568
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,000
a movie so you can watch it time and time again. Right,

569
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,880
I think you're gonna see that some of the movies

570
00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:15,640
that I'm about to share with you not only are

571
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,720
not on your shelves, they're probably not things that you

572
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:21,960
want to see ever or ever again. Nineteen eighty one,

573
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Chariots of Fire wins Best Picture, does fifty nine million

574
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,960
dollars at the box office. Yeah, a bit of a

575
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:33,599
yawn there on that movie. Nineteen eighty four, As as

576
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,400
Dave did mention earlier, Amideis does rock the oscars. Does

577
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,119
not rock the box office though, because he does a

578
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:45,079
paltry fifty one million dollars. The man died poor and

579
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,440
his box office was also poor. Now I'm going to

580
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,240
skip eighty six and jumped eighty nine here for a second,

581
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,640
because at one hundred and six million, we have made

582
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,000
a significant jump. People are going to the movies and

583
00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:58,640
seeing this one. But how many people want to see

584
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,640
Driving Miss Day over and over again?

585
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:06,039
Speaker 4: And put your hand down, Dayton, I love that movie.

586
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,720
Oh there's always one. There's always one. Yeah, you know

587
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:10,640
who else loves it, mamm all because you can.

588
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:14,839
Speaker 5: Find the vhs in the cabinet under the cobra underneath.

589
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: I know it's not cobra, but come on, now, you

590
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,680
had your time, sir, You had your time, yes, I

591
00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:22,920
and I was not and I talked about my year.

592
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:24,559
I didn't trash other people's years.

593
00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:26,119
Speaker 4: Am Wow.

594
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: Wild card baby, it's a wild card baby, right last

595
00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:32,839
box office.

596
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: Lastly nineteen eighty six Best Picture winner Platoon does one

597
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:41,480
hundred and thirty eight million dollars clearcut winner. I don't

598
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,440
care if you love war movies, if you love Charlie

599
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:47,640
Sheen movies, if you just love good movies, you love Platoon,

600
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:49,519
and more than likely it's going to be on your

601
00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,400
shelf a lot more often than Chariots of Fire, Amidas

602
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:55,559
or Driving Miss Daisy. That is my wild card that

603
00:29:55,559 --> 00:29:56,519
I'm playing, John.

604
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: You probably won't want to hear which of those four

605
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,720
movies is on my shelf. Amadeus is the only one

606
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:02,440
that's on my shelf.

607
00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:05,119
Speaker 2: There's actually only one of those that's not, and it's

608
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,240
Chariots of Fire. The other ones are all on my shelf.

609
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:09,359
Speaker 4: There you go see.

610
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, And for the record, for the record, Amadaeus is

611
00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:14,960
a brilliant film. I absolutely love it, and you can

612
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,839
see it back there on my sholf right there as well.

613
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: The best parts of Chariots of Fire is how how

614
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:22,200
much of a high stakes movie it was, because they

615
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:25,200
they go and they compete and if they lose, then

616
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:27,079
they got to go back to their high paying jobs.

617
00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:29,759
So that's what really did it for me with Chariots

618
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:30,119
of Fire.

619
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,519
Speaker 5: I will say, to be fair, I think the best

620
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,440
moment of Chariots of Fire is the soundtrack that you

621
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:42,400
hear in National Lampoon's Vacation, and that's the hill.

622
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:42,839
Speaker 4: I'll die on.

623
00:30:44,759 --> 00:30:46,559
Speaker 1: That was the I remember my mom The only time

624
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:48,880
I ever my mom just being absolutely irate when she

625
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,599
had to wait on the phone for something. Was she

626
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,680
was calling some kind of customer service line. And this

627
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,480
was back in the eighties and Chariots of Fire was

628
00:30:55,559 --> 00:30:57,960
the hold music on the phone, and I just I

629
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
remember the only comment she was. I could just see

630
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:02,079
her fuming while she's on the phone, and she just

631
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,119
looks over at me as if I'm gonna know chariots

632
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,240
a fire at that point in my life, and she goes,

633
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:13,400
I hate chariots fire. Now, okay, Mom, I don't. I

634
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,759
don't know what that is. But okay, Jason, you've got

635
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:16,440
eighty nine.

636
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 6: Okay for my wild card. I've got two things I

637
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,960
want to play. I've got two jokers, if you will.

638
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:25,079
First thing I'm gonna play is that the summer of

639
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,839
nineteen eighty nine was the greatest summer for movies in

640
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,759
the eighties. Dave is crossing his arms already, Dave, I've

641
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:36,319
already looked at nineteen eighty four, August of eighty four.

642
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 7: Week.

643
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: Okay, so here you go. Think back to me like,

644
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:42,279
I've seen three movies in the movie theater this year

645
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:42,920
this summer.

646
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 7: Three.

647
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: Okay. Now, when we go back and we look.

648
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:49,799
Speaker 6: At the list, let's just just in your head say, okay,

649
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:50,799
that's a watchable movie.

650
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:53,119
Speaker 4: That's a watchable movie. Some are better than others. But

651
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,759
starting May nineteenth of nineteen eighty nine, we go all

652
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,720
the way to August twenty fifth, before there is not

653
00:31:59,839 --> 00:32:03,240

twenty fifth, where there's just crap, but that entire summer,

667
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:59,519
week after week after week, you have watchable, enjoyable movies

668
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:00,000
at the box.

669
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 5: I will concede that that is a murderer's row of

670
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:04,680
summer box office.

671
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 6: I'm going to pose to the jury that nineteen eighty

672
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,400
nine is the sexiest movie year.

673
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:15,559
Speaker 4: Okay, now, stay with me on this.

674
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:19,319
Speaker 1: Are you gonna talk about driving miss Daisy?

675
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: Here's my question to you.

676
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,759
Speaker 1: You guys, can the judge object if you start with that.

677
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 6: No, I'm not starting with that. Okay, good, good, This

678
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:27,759
is my This is what I'm saying here. Okay, stay

679
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:28,039
with me.

680
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: We all enjoy when our lady wears lingerie.

681
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,319
Speaker 6: When she dresses up nice, she looks pretty, she's got

682
00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:37,680
a sexy underwear on. It's all a part of the experience,

683
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,559
and the anticipation, I would say, is at least as

684
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,880
much fun as the actual experience. So think back to

685
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,359
a time with me in early nineteen eighty nine. This

686
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,839
is what we knew was going to happen that year.

687
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,920
We knew we had eighteen sequels coming. We knew we

688
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,200
had a Stephen King movie. We knew we had a

689
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,599
Star Trek movie. We knew we had Indiana Jones coming back.

690
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,079
We had Ghostbusters, We had Batman. We had the return

691
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,760
of Marty McFly and Freddy Krueger and James Bond and

692
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,360
Jason Vorhees. We knew we had a great Christmas movie

693
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,280
coming with Clark and the Griswolds. We knew all these

694
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,239
movies were coming we had two of the greatest baseball

695
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,519
movies coming at us, and just the anticipation of what

696
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,679
was coming down the pipe that year in nineteen eighty

697
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,159
nine was so much fun. Back then, the anticipation of

698
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,760
Batman Inny and Bond all in the same summer just

699
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,519
made it that much sweeter.

700
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: And that's where I'm going to stop. So I do

701
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,639
have to ask, was No Holds Barred the week she

702
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:43,320
had a headache?

703
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 4: You don't like? No Holds Barred was going to mention

704
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,119
that in a few minutes.

705
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: So I had that one I was that was in

706
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,320
my pocket.

707
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Was mine too? Who doesn't love seeing Hulk Hogan say.

708
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:05,599
Speaker 6: Dookie, We're gonna get to our cinematic sins here in Justice,

709
00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:07,599
and we're all gonna be on the table here.

710
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,199
Speaker 1: So that's the wild card now, as Jason said, we

711
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:21,599
are gonna get to the cinematic sins. Cinematic sins basically

712
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,639
what these are is these are the movies that are

713
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,599
so bad that they are gonna be weighing your year down.

714
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,239
So each of the guys is going to present bad

715
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,840
movies from the year, and these are the ones that

716
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,519
are basically this is the cement shoes that have been

717
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:38,320
given to you to sink you to the bottom of

718
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,920
the lake. These are your cinematic sins from each year.

719
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,159
So nineteen eighty one.

720
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 3: So it's easy to go straight to the list of

721
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,559
Razzie winners, right, because, well, every year is gonna have

722
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,400
a worst movie. But here's the thing about the Razzies

723
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,360
of nineteen eighty one. Nineteen e one was the year

724
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,679
that was so bad they had to invent the Razzies. Okay,

725
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,440
this is where it starts. Okay, so Mommy Dearest sweeps

726
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,719
all the categories, takes home five Razzies, and at the

727
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,480
end of the decade, when they're giving out decade full awards,

728
00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:14,039
like the worst movie of the entire decade, the raspberry

729
00:36:14,079 --> 00:36:18,320
goes to Mommy Dearest, So nineteen eighty one just owns

730
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:19,480
that title.

731
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:26,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that quote, Why are Hangers? And I

732
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:28,519
just contend that the Razzies are stupid because there's a

733
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:30,239
lot of years there's actually good movies on your list,

734
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,440
So the Razzies are stupid. Those are people that have

735
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:35,480
nothing better to do. So I don't care rejects the Razzies.

736
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,519
I reject the Razzies. I'm sorry, Jeff, what have you Got?

737
00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:43,159
Speaker 5: For eighty one, one of the greatest heroes in American

738
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,159
literature gets his chance, yes to hit the big screen

739
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,679
in a way we are not ready for. You have

740
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,039
a beautiful woman playing the eleading lady. So how do

741
00:36:54,119 --> 00:37:00,079
you explain Tarzan the ape Man to me? Because it

742
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:03,519
is so bad? Edgar Rice Burrough was rolling in his

743
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,840
grave when this one came out. Dayton, you may hate

744
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,039
the Razzies, but they sure loved this film because it

745
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:11,079
got nominated for six of them and Bo Derek herself

746
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,920
did take home the gold or the Golden Rasberry, whatever

747
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,760
they call it. Just trying to sit through this movie.

748
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,400
It is bad, terrible film. Tarzan the eight Man, Jason,

749
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,280
I can see my remaining time to you.

750
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 4: Thank you.

751
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 6: I have that one as well. That was on my list.

752
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:32,840
Nudity has not been that boring since Showgirls. So my

753
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,840
cinematic sin for nineteen eighty one, I am going to

754
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,360
go with Galaxy of Terror.

755
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,119
Speaker 1: We have.

756
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 6: That's a Roger Corman movie where James Cameron was actually

757
00:37:43,159 --> 00:37:46,639
discovered was given the Piranha two job because he was

758
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:50,360
able to get worms to wiggle by electrocuting them. But

759
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:54,440
this movie stars Robert England of Nightmaray and elm Street

760
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,280
and Aaron Moran who played Cupcake on Happy Days. But

761
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,599
the worst sin in the Galaxy of Terror is you

762
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,360
have a full on rape scene where a woman gets

763
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,519
raped by a worm, a giant worm creature. It's unwatchable.

764
00:38:11,559 --> 00:38:13,360
I try to watch it one time just so I

765
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,920
could see where James Cameron got his beginning, because I'm

766
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,639
a huge James Cameron fan. It was the worst piece

767
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:22,039
of crap I've ever seen in my life. So Galaxy

768
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:25,119
of Terror nineteen eighty one, nobody's ever seen that.

769
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,679
Speaker 4: I can tell. I've seen it, and it is everything

770
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,639
that you just mentioned.

771
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: Actually, I'm going off what the mentioned video podcast said

772
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:36,199
about it, because yeah, everything they said, I almost like,

773
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,159
I'm never watching this.

774
00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:38,199
Speaker 4: I'm just never.

775
00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: So let's see. Now we got nineteen eighty four, So Dayton,

776
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:44,760
why don't you give us the cinema sin from nineteen

777
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,159
eighty four?

778
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,159
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I had quite a few, but I'm

779
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:48,519
just going to go with the one that's probably the

780
00:38:48,519 --> 00:38:51,519
most offensive of all the ones I chose. Blame it

781
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:55,119
on Rio Michael Kaine's having an affair with an underage girl.

782
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:00,679
I'm just saying that's it. That's inappropriate, disgusting, and it's wrong.

783
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,400
It's not even funny. So blamemon on rio is a

784
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,599
terrible It has a meta score of twenty two. Okay,

785
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,559
twenty two, there you go.

786
00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:10,199
Speaker 4: That's mine.

787
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,079
Speaker 6: Can I can I add to that dating because that

788
00:39:12,159 --> 00:39:15,280
was that was my surprise pick that I was ready

789
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,719
to drop because the whole movie is sad because you

790
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,320
have this Michael Kaine who's middle aged and he's having

791
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,559
this affair with his best friend's daughter. The whole thing

792
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:24,519
is inappropriate.

793
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.

794
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:29,159
Speaker 6: Michelle Johnson was seventeen years old when she filmed this movie.

795
00:39:29,559 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 4: She had to get.

796
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 6: Special permission from her parents and a judge to be

797
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,599
in this movie. If she was twenty two, it would

798
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:37,199
be creepy. She's seventeen.

799
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: Yep.

800
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,079
Speaker 4: Sorry, thank you for helping. Thank you for putting my

801
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:41,079
body even more, thank you.

802
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: I have no defense.

803
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 4: That's let's say.

804
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,039
Speaker 2: If you try to defend that, I'm just like, dude,

805
00:39:47,039 --> 00:39:51,679
you're done.

806
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:50,559
Speaker 1: Jeff, what have you got?

807
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:51,639
Speaker 4: Less controversial?

808
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,559
Speaker 5: But let's talk about the superstar that Bill Murray was

809
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,639
in nineteen eighty four. This is the guy. He's a

810
00:39:59,639 --> 00:40:04,519
ghost buster stripes caddy shack. Right along comes a movie

811
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:08,440
in nineteen eighty four that is so terrible. It is

812
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:12,159
such a dumpster fire that he questions whether or not

813
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:15,719
he should even be acting after it, and doesn't act

814
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,880
again until like nineteen eighty eight when he does Scrooge.

815
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,760
I'm talking about a film called The Razor's Edge. Try

816
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,440
to get through it, is what I would ask.

817
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:27,679
Speaker 4: Didn't he write that?

818
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 3: He wrote part of it and it was like a

819
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,159
passion project for him, and Dan Aykroyd's suggestion he held

820
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:37,559
out of Ghostbusters. He used the idea of getting Razor's

821
00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:40,280
Edge made as leverage, Like, if you want me in Ghostbusters,

822
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,760
you gotta let me do razors Edge first.

823
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:43,519
Speaker 4: You like that one, Dave.

824
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 3: I like it because the scene that it's like eulogizing

825
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,400
a friend of his in the movie who had died.

826
00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:53,119
Bill Murray wrote that scene and in his mind he

827
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:55,920
was speaking to John Belushi. I think it's kind of neat. Also,

828
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,880
it was a non comedic role, and we know Bill

829
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Murray proved eventually to be a fan a dramatic actor,

830
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,840
and this is kind of like first step in that direction.

831
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,960
So that's all I got.

832
00:41:09,639 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 4: Okay, it's okay.

833
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,199
Speaker 6: I'm backing up against the ropes here I come to

834
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:26,679
pounce on Dave with Supergirl. Supergirl. Supergirl is the worst

835
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,480
piece of crap DC movie. It's worse than Superman four

836
00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:34,639
Quest for Peace. It's not even a question. You have

837
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,840
a witch. You have Clark Kent's cousin who can magically

838
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,599
change her hair color. She just changes clothes through voodoo

839
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:47,119
or something. There's terrible acting. It did so poorly it

840
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,440
caused the Superman franchise to fall into the Cannon Group's hands.

841
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,159
Speaker 4: Not even close.

842
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 6: This movie is a giant wart on the nose of

843
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,119
nineteen eighty four Supergirl.

844
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 4: Dave is owning his defeat on that one.

845
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,159
Speaker 3: There's no defending this movie. I do know that it's

846
00:42:07,199 --> 00:42:14,320
partly nineteen eighty one's fault because whoa once again because

847
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,639
of I object because of Faide done Away. I know

848
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,599
the raspberry for her, you know, which helped her get

849
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:23,760
the worst actress of the decade. I believe. So I

850
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,639
think this movie's largely the legacy of nineteen eighty one.

851
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 4: How's that objection deflecting?

852
00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: Right?

853
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 6: Jeff and I both left Rhystone off the board too,

854
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:36,519
So actually that.

855
00:42:36,559 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: Was on my list too.

856
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 3: Was.

857
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,199
Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised jeffinga with Bolero, since he

858
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:43,960
was kind of kind of he might go like a

859
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,000
do a bo Derek.

860
00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, I just I don't understand why you guys

861
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,320
can't get on board with the omegahedron. I mean, it's

862
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,119
just one of the most amazings of movie prop history.

863
00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:57,920
And I'm so sad they never did make that sequel

864
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,159
where she could change her hair color, and then the

865
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:02,079
sequel she could change the color of the Great Wall

866
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:06,679
of China just by looking at it. We are to

867
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,760
eighty six, Dayton, what have you got for eighty six?

868
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay on the offensive idea and I'm going

869
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:17,039
with Solman. Okay, see Thomas Howe in blackface. That's all

870
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:20,760
I need to say. Okay, thirty three metascore, racist as hell.

871
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 4: There you go, soul Man.

872
00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: We had somebody come working on our air conditioning at

873
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,039
our house. And the guy came downstairs and he could

874
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:30,480
see all my podcasting stuff I have down here. And

875
00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:32,239
he's the same guy that's been coming and working on

876
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,760
our house for years, and this is the first time

877
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,400
I was ever home when he was here working on stuff.

878
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,000
And so he was asking me about the podcast everything else,

879
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:42,079
and he's like, you know what, you know, what's one

880
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:49,360
of the worst movies I've ever seen. Soul Man said, yeah, yeah, understood.

881
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: Noel, you know, not to defend that at all. But

882
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,199
isn't this where set Thomas Howell met raid On Chalk?

883
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,079
Speaker 4: It is, yes, and it is indeed right they got married,

884
00:43:58,159 --> 00:43:59,400
right yea, she yeah.

885
00:43:59,199 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 3: They were married. I'm I mean she didn't seem to

886
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,880
have too vivica of a problem, so but does not

887
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,880
play well at all these days. For sure. This was

888
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,199
I believe the apex of Ronald Reagan Junior's acting career.

889
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 2: I remember that he that helps it helps you, That

890
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,280
probably helps charged.

891
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,159
Speaker 4: I am not going to defend that film.

892
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:22,679
Speaker 1: It was.

893
00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:27,079
Speaker 5: Probably not a not a good choice for Tommy Howe

894
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,400
back then obviously did not age well, and it's one

895
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,280
that I know he and we all should just forget.

896
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: So, Dave, what have you got?

897
00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:37,159
Speaker 5: So?

898
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 3: Look? Eighty six is packed with some really bad movies,

899
00:44:41,159 --> 00:44:44,199
so bad that the Razzie for Worst Picture of the

900
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,800
Year had to be shared between two movies. And there's

901
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,920
only two more chances to mention movies right now between

902
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,199
Jason and myself. So I feel like I should mention

903
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,000
one of those incredibly, like they could not decide which

904
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:58,239
one was worse. They just gave the razzie to both

905
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,719
of them. But I am gonna go a different way

906
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,719
because I discovered the existence of a movie preparing for

907
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,760
this podcast, and I've never heard it before, and it

908
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,199
sounds so awful that I have to mention it here.

909
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,639
But it's the kind of awful that I think is

910
00:45:11,639 --> 00:45:14,199
probably going to interest all of you in trying to

911
00:45:14,199 --> 00:45:17,159
go track it down and watch it. It's called No Retreat,

912
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,400
No Surrender. Has anybody heard it?

913
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 4: I've seen it, I've seen this.

914
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,079
Speaker 3: This is a book. Tell this is I haven't seen it.

915
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:26,280
But it says that this guy he wants to like

916
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,480
avenge the death of his father, so he learns martial

917
00:45:29,599 --> 00:45:34,599
arts karate kung fu from the ghost of Bruce Lee.

918
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 4: It's the premise, who else do you want to learn from?

919
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:38,639
Speaker 7: Oh?

920
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,079
Speaker 4: Are you actually going to defend this? Jeff? How long

921
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,360
he gand is the bad? Yeah? Ben Damn is a

922
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,960
villain and that doesn't help it either, So don't even

923
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:49,320
go there.

924
00:45:50,679 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna trust Jason to somehow mention the other two.

925
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,519
If he's going there but I'm leaving it on a

926
00:45:56,519 --> 00:45:57,239
platter for him.

927
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,199
Speaker 4: He gets one.

928
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,079
Speaker 6: You have left me with a plethora of bad movies

929
00:46:06,119 --> 00:46:10,480
where I can only choose one. Here, I'm looking at

930
00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:13,639
a list that includes Nomads, which Jeff and I have.

931
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,519
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, this is a cheap tactic.

932
00:46:17,519 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 5: You can't.

933
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 4: Just talking out loud. Well, make my decision here, objection,

934
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:26,199
I will.

935
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,119
Speaker 1: I will only consider the last one, he.

936
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 4: Says, Nomads. We've Jeff and I have been on record

937
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,320
talking about how horrible that movie is. True.

938
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 6: We have also been on record talking about how bad

939
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,119
Under the Cherry Moon starring Prince is. But I have

940
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,920
to go with the star of star bad movies by

941
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,199
a man that we all respect and adore, mister George Lucas.

942
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 4: He came out with a movie so horrible.

943
00:46:54,119 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 6: I can barely form the words to say the title

944
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,920
of this movie.

945
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:06,679
Speaker 4: Howard the duck? Well, that chain around your neck and

946
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,960
try to swim jack.

947
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:16,159
Speaker 8: Well, my response to that, that cheap shot answer, that

948
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,880
cheap shot statement, if you will, Well, here's the deal is.

949
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,519
Speaker 4: No Mad's bad.

950
00:47:21,639 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but without it, I quote Jason Colvin when I

951
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,679
say without it, there is no Predator, there is no

952
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,920
die Hard think about that for a second. And while

953
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,639
you're thinking about that, think about this is under the

954
00:47:35,679 --> 00:47:37,960
cherry moon bad? Well, of course it is, but it's

955
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,000
still about a global superstar prince. I mean, the guy

956
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,559
could do no wrong even if he was doing it

957
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:47,079
under a cherry moon. And as far as as far

958
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:49,760
as Howard the Duck goes, is it bad? Yeah, but

959
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,920
it's so bad it's fun. And I think when you

960
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,159
go to the store, you'll find a four K steel

961
00:47:56,159 --> 00:47:59,920
book on the shelves for Howard the Duck to celebrate Ittsaniver.

962
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:03,119
You won't find rhinestone, and you won't find tarzan.

963
00:48:03,519 --> 00:48:04,159
Speaker 3: Oh here we go.

964
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 4: But hey, you will find Howard the Duck.

965
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 5: And you know what, I'm not ashamed to admit it's

966
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,000
it's on the shelf back there.

967
00:48:11,079 --> 00:48:13,199
Speaker 2: So hey, do you have them shang high surprise back

968
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:14,320
there with your holend Duck?

969
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,199
Speaker 1: Or how about how about troll that one?

970
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 3: Okay, so not counting like the old Captain America serials.

971
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,559
Isn't it the first Marvel like feature film release?

972
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:24,639
Speaker 4: Is it?

973
00:48:24,679 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 3: Is?

974
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 4: It is?

975
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 5: You know, thank you, def Dave. It is a It

976
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,159
is a Marvel superhero. It's a film about a Marvel superhero,

977
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:32,559
so it's got that going for it.

978
00:48:32,559 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 6: It's also the same movie that we saw Duck get

979
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,800
aroused by Leah Thompson.

980
00:48:37,599 --> 00:48:40,639
Speaker 4: I don't care who you are. I don't care who

981
00:48:40,679 --> 00:48:43,519
you are, what you are, Leah Thompson will arouse you,

982
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:44,000
my friend.

983
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: Among our podcast hosts, we did that one. It was

984
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,159
one of our first years we were doing the podcast.

985
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:52,519
We did that one, and it's one of the only

986
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,440
times one of the guys got up and actually walked

987
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,000
out as we were recording. And I don't know if

988
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,719
you if you guys have seen the old Three Stooges

989
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:03,159
episode where they I think it hypnotized. I think it is.

990
00:49:03,199 --> 00:49:06,400
And anytime somebody says Niagara falls, they kind of turn murderous.

991
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:10,280
Anytime I just say the phrase Duck boobs yes to

992
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,519
quote Forrest Gump. That's all we have to say about

993
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:16,599
that eighty nine. Let's rip into eighty nine here, dating

994
00:49:16,639 --> 00:49:17,320
you get it started.

995
00:49:18,199 --> 00:49:22,039
Speaker 2: So this particular movie has no meta score on IMDb,

996
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,159
but it's score from the People is a one point eight.

997
00:49:27,159 --> 00:49:32,639
I am referring to Going Overboard from Adam Sandler. Ew,

998
00:49:33,199 --> 00:49:35,719
this thing is unwatchable. I'd rather have a case of

999
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:40,440
diarrhea than sit through this movie again. It's terrible.

1000
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 6: I have never seen that movie. Yeh, don't yeah, will

1001
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:45,440
not defend.

1002
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,599
Speaker 2: I would literally I'd rather shave my head. Didn't watch

1003
00:49:48,679 --> 00:49:54,519
that movie again. Okay, just say it, Okay, Dave, Okay.

1004
00:49:54,599 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 3: I was going to say no holds barred, but they

1005
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,960
already got mentioned. I was gonna say going overboard. Dayton

1006
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:06,679
took it. But I did find one incredibly horrible sounding

1007
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,599
movie that is probably in the realm of craptastic, and

1008
00:50:10,679 --> 00:50:13,000
they're I'll probably all gonna want to find it and

1009
00:50:13,039 --> 00:50:16,679
watch it. I've never seen it, but this sounds so

1010
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,880
terrible that I almost feel bad for completely burying Jason

1011
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,679
with this. Okay, So the name of this movie is

1012
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,960
over Sexed Rugsuckers from Mars.

1013
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:29,639
Speaker 4: I saw that listed do.

1014
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,679
Speaker 3: Okay. This is a sci fi movie where it talks

1015
00:50:34,679 --> 00:50:39,320
about aliens return to Earth after having started the human

1016
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,920
race millennia ago, and the first human they see when

1017
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,239
they come back is this like really gross, dirty, homeless guy,

1018
00:50:47,519 --> 00:50:51,000
and they conclude from that that all of humanity is very,

1019
00:50:51,119 --> 00:50:55,360
very dirty, and they obviously come to the logical conclusion

1020
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,360
that the best thing they can do made this planet

1021
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,239
better is to crossbreed humans with vacuum cleaners.

1022
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 1: You know what, I never realized that this movie is

1023
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:04,920
a prequel to Prometheus.

1024
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 4: Wow.

1025
00:51:09,159 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 3: And the way they start this cross breeding is this

1026
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:21,119
homeless guy accidentally drinks some alien pea and this causes

1027
00:51:21,199 --> 00:51:24,199
him to fall in love with the first vacuum cleaner

1028
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,760
that he sees, and it creates this hybrid race of rugsuckers.

1029
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:35,480
It's over sex rugsuckers from Mars from nineteen eighty nine.

1030
00:51:36,039 --> 00:51:37,559
Speaker 4: What is what?

1031
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:37,199
Speaker 5: What?

1032
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:44,159
Speaker 1: What is what? My earlier Yeah, see my earlier comment

1033
00:51:44,199 --> 00:51:46,280
about people being coked out of their minds in the eighties.

1034
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,440
All right, bring it, Jeff finishes off.

1035
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 5: Well, look, I am not gonna let you off the

1036
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,440
hug Jason with some obscure or a little known film

1037
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:01,159
like the last two. I'm gonna channel dgra Baves, your

1038
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:03,280
co host here. I'm gonna offer up a movie that

1039
00:52:03,599 --> 00:52:06,840
should have been a hit and was so bad, was

1040
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:11,559
such a turd, it's a crime against film. Okay, So

1041
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,880
let's talk about a couple great things that you can

1042
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:15,679
throw into a movie.

1043
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 4: How about a hit song from Michael Damien Rock Gone.

1044
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,239
We were all singing it.

1045
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,679
Speaker 5: How about a beautiful girl like Meredith Salinger and at

1046
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:28,119
the height of their popularity, the Cory's Corey Hayn, Corey Feldman,

1047
00:52:28,159 --> 00:52:29,519
their their movies were fun.

1048
00:52:29,559 --> 00:52:32,039
Speaker 4: When they got together, they had a great time. So

1049
00:52:32,119 --> 00:52:32,960
I don't know what.

1050
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,519
Speaker 5: The hell happened when they did Dream a Little Dream. Wow,

1051
00:52:37,639 --> 00:52:40,880
what a what a dumb movie. And again, this is

1052
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,000
one of those the tropes where it's the body swap,

1053
00:52:43,159 --> 00:52:46,039
so a little freaky Friday action, and they can't even

1054
00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:46,599
do that, right.

1055
00:52:47,039 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 4: This movie is terrible. It's a crime. It should not

1056
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:50,679
be this bad.

1057
00:52:51,199 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 5: It's it's like ninety minutes of Corey Feldman in his

1058
00:52:55,239 --> 00:53:00,599
most coked up Michael Jackson impersonator phase, and he just

1059
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:03,719
just craps all over this movie the whole time doing it.

1060
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:04,280
Speaker 3: It's awful.

1061
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 4: It's absolutely awful.

1062
00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:09,159
Speaker 3: This was when I started worrying about Corey Feldman. Like

1063
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,760
he had a good run in the eighties, right, he

1064
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,039
was in the verbs, right, he was like.

1065
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,639
Speaker 4: He was in the Burbs in eighty nine, in eighty nine, and.

1066
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, and he

1067
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:22,719
never really stopped this phase. I'm starting right here now. Yeah,

1068
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:23,679
that's a bad movie.

1069
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: So from the lowest of the low. Now we're going

1070
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,719
to go to the highest of the high. This is

1071
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,920
this is one of your last chances to make the

1072
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,800
case for your year. This is the pinnacle. This is

1073
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:41,760
the top five movies. Top five movies nineteen eighty one.

1074
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So I couldn't figure out how to break this down,

1075
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,760
So I just went ahead and looked at June into July,

1076
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,079
and you had the Great Muppet Caper, Dragon Slayer for

1077
00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:55,360
your eyes only, Raiders of Lost Dark, and Stripes all

1078
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,679
came out within a basically a few weeks of each other.

1079
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,119
And to me, and I saw all of those in

1080
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:04,039
the theater except for Stripes, of course, because I was

1081
00:54:04,039 --> 00:54:06,920
too young. Side note, I've seen Raiders of Lost Ark

1082
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:11,039
twenty times in the theater twenty times because it's that

1083
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,119
freaking good. And if it wasn't for that, you wouldn't

1084
00:54:14,119 --> 00:54:16,079
get one in eighty four, and you wouldn't get in

1085
00:54:16,079 --> 00:54:19,639
a sequel in eighty nine. So anyway, those and some

1086
00:54:19,679 --> 00:54:21,440
people will consider the Great Webec Caper to be the

1087
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:22,519
best of them movies.

1088
00:54:22,679 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 4: It's definitely a favorite of mine.

1089
00:54:24,079 --> 00:54:26,639
Speaker 2: Dragon Slayer is probably my favorite Sword and Sorrostree film

1090
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,800
of all time. And for your Eyes Only is my

1091
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,840
favorite Bond movie there. These are all favorites, and four

1092
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:33,960
of the five I saw in the theater that summer,

1093
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,360
So that's why I chose those five.

1094
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: Top five movies. Nineteen eighty four, Dave nineteen eighty four.

1095
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,599
Speaker 3: Okay, honorable mentions, Red Dawn and this is spinal Tap.

1096
00:54:48,679 --> 00:54:53,360
I've never quit watching Red don awesome movie. Number five, Ghostbusters,

1097
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:58,440
number four, The Terminator, Number three. Indiana Jones in the

1098
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,159
Temple of Doom too. I like about that real quick.

1099
00:55:01,519 --> 00:55:03,800
I love that the best majority of it is in

1100
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,360
real time and we see it tie into the same

1101
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,519
cinematic universe as Gunga Den, So I think that's pretty cool.

1102
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,719
Number two. This is a movie I hadn't seen it

1103
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,119
over thirty years. I just saw it a couple of

1104
00:55:13,199 --> 00:55:15,719
years ago. It brought back all the memory, all the

1105
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,199
nostalgia I had forgotten just how great this movie is.

1106
00:55:19,639 --> 00:55:22,119
It goes almost to the top of my list. The

1107
00:55:22,199 --> 00:55:26,880
Karate Kid. I absolutely love this movie. It's amazing, but

1108
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,599
at the number one spot considering who I was at

1109
00:55:29,599 --> 00:55:32,360
thirteen years old in nineteen eighty four and how that

1110
00:55:32,599 --> 00:55:34,320
just had me hook line and seeker on the edge

1111
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,400
of my seat. I was along for the ride. I

1112
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,880
have to put a number one Star Trek three the

1113
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:39,679
Search for Spock.

1114
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: Wow.

1115
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 4: Really I love Star Trek three.

1116
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 3: I like it more than four, that's for sure.

1117
00:55:46,679 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: Really.

1118
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,599
Speaker 4: No Beverly Hills Cop.

1119
00:55:48,639 --> 00:55:50,199
Speaker 3: Nope, they didn't made my top five.

1120
00:55:50,440 --> 00:56:00,599
Speaker 1: Okay, top five movies nineteen eighty six the court.

1121
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 4: I have prepared a written statement i'd like to read.

1122
00:56:05,199 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 5: And if you happen to notice twenty film titles from

1123
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,719
nineteen ey six in this statement, I assure you it

1124
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,719
is merely coincidental.

1125
00:56:15,079 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, right.

1126
00:56:16,119 --> 00:56:21,519
Speaker 5: I'll begin, Honorable John Reid, to quote Lieutenant Pete Mitchell,

1127
00:56:21,679 --> 00:56:22,559
call sign Maverick.

1128
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,119
Speaker 4: I can see it's dangerous for you.

1129
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,679
Speaker 5: After all, you've been given a fine mess during this

1130
00:56:28,159 --> 00:56:31,559
one crazy summer. Listen to our testimony and choose the

1131
00:56:31,559 --> 00:56:33,639
best year for movies in the eighties. But John, you're

1132
00:56:33,679 --> 00:56:36,599
the elite, the best of the best. You, sir, are

1133
00:56:36,639 --> 00:56:40,199
a top gun. Therefore, when you examine the years eighty one,

1134
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,039
eighty four and eighty nine, the only question is, if

1135
00:56:43,079 --> 00:56:45,320
I may quote Ellen J. Ripley, You're going out there

1136
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,039
to destroy them, right, not to study, not to bring back,

1137
00:56:48,199 --> 00:56:51,880
but to wipe them out. John, These ruthless people I'm

1138
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:57,079
debating against can troll you day and night for nine

1139
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:00,000
and a half weeks. But it doesn't take a witchboard

1140
00:57:00,079 --> 00:57:02,920
to point to yes when I ask if nineteen eighty

1141
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,599
six is the best year forgive my gung ho.

1142
00:57:06,639 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 4: Attitude about this topic, but.

1143
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 5: These other guys should be running scared through the labyrinth

1144
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:17,519
of average films their collective years offer, because eighty six

1145
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,400
is in fact the most rad and only someone with

1146
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:26,440
a short circuit would think otherwise. It's true my cinematic

1147
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,880
sins can cause heartburn, but I don't believe I'm out

1148
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,039
of bounds when I say it takes true wisdom to

1149
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:37,599
appreciate that even bad movies become cult classics overtime. It

1150
00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:41,280
would be something wild if you chose one of the

1151
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:46,039
years suggested by the other three amigos. Ultimately, as the

1152
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:51,679
Highlander himself, Connor McLoud of the Klam McCloud not Clan

1153
00:57:51,719 --> 00:57:54,599
of the Cave Bear tells us there can be only

1154
00:57:54,639 --> 00:57:57,280
one John. I know you'll make the right choice. I

1155
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,960
believe that you will stand by me. Top five are

1156
00:58:01,079 --> 00:58:05,400
top Gun Aliens, Platoon Ferris Bueler's.

1157
00:58:05,079 --> 00:58:09,159
Speaker 4: Day off and stand by me thank you. That was excellent.

1158
00:58:09,519 --> 00:58:10,920
I'm giving it up to you all that.

1159
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:13,679
Speaker 3: Top shelf, sir.

1160
00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:17,079
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I just I just appreciate the fact

1161
00:58:17,079 --> 00:58:19,000
that most of the movies you mentioned are not very good,

1162
00:58:19,039 --> 00:58:19,960
so that helped a lot.

1163
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,639
Speaker 4: Thank you. Hey.

1164
00:58:22,639 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 5: As Dalton says in eighty nine's Roadhouse Opinions.

1165
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: Vary, guys, don't don't fall. I don't want you guys

1166
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:30,760
to argue with each other. I want you guys to

1167
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:38,000
be nice until it's time to not be nice. Top

1168
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:42,679
five movies nineteen eighty nine.

1169
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,119
Speaker 6: My top five I wouldn't say are the best five movies,

1170
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,280
but these are the movies that best represent the excellence

1171
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:54,320
of nineteen eighty nine.

1172
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,079
Speaker 4: Am I splitting hairs? Maybe? But here's my list. I'm

1173
00:58:57,079 --> 00:58:58,559
going to start with the.

1174
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:02,039
Speaker 6: Greatest romantic comedy of the eighties at number five.

1175
00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:05,119
Speaker 4: I'm giving you When Harry Met Sally number four.

1176
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 6: I'm going with the greatest Christmas movie of the nineteen

1177
00:59:08,519 --> 00:59:14,239
eighties with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Number three, I'm giving

1178
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,440
you one of the great sequels of the eighties. We

1179
00:59:18,519 --> 00:59:22,400
get Part two, actually an improvement in my opinion, from

1180
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,639
Part one. We get Riggs and Murtaw leave a Weapon too.

1181
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,199
The Summer of nineteen eighty nine. That's my number three.

1182
00:59:28,599 --> 00:59:32,320
Number two overall, I give you Indiana Jones and The

1183
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,639
Last Crusade. I am not a person who says it's

1184
00:59:35,639 --> 00:59:37,360
better than Raiders of the Lost Ark. I think that

1185
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,920
is the best movie of the nineteen eighties, but I

1186
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,880
know opinions vary, and I know people hold this movie

1187
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,599
in very high regard, maybe the best of.

1188
00:59:45,679 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 4: The three Indiana Jones movies.

1189
00:59:47,719 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 6: And then finally, I give you the one movie the

1190
00:59:51,079 --> 00:59:53,519
stamp of nineteen eighty nine, Batman.

1191
00:59:54,199 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 4: We still quote Jack Nicholson's Joker.

1192
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 6: You guys probably have shirts with the bat signal on

1193
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:00,559
the on the in front of it.

1194
01:00:00,719 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 4: You've probably had toys.

1195
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 6: We had the soundtrack, it owned the summer of nineteen

1196
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:05,880
eighty nine.

1197
01:00:06,559 --> 01:00:09,559
Speaker 4: So I'm stamping this whole thing off with Batman. I

1198
01:00:09,559 --> 01:00:11,719
had the collector cards from the movie. I had the

1199
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,440
entire set. Yeah, I have the soundtrack sitting behind me.

1200
01:00:17,199 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: So those are the top five movies and meet of

1201
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,960
our years before I make a decision, And good lord,

1202
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,559
you guys have made it really, really difficult to make

1203
01:00:24,559 --> 01:00:26,719
a decision. Here we are going to do in this

1204
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,280
next piece, very very quickly, I want each of you

1205
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,280
to vote for if your year didn't exist and you

1206
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,559
had to vote for one of the other years, who

1207
01:00:35,639 --> 01:00:38,679
gets your vote? So basically, in your mind, which of

1208
01:00:38,719 --> 01:00:40,719
these years comes number two?

1209
01:00:41,079 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: So I was trying to figure out how many movies

1210
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,599
I own for me to the other years, and it's

1211
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,840
it's really close, So that that didn't really help my

1212
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,400
thought process, you know what I think? In general, I'm

1213
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,360
thinking I'm gonna go with eighty nine because he's right.

1214
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,559
It's when Harry Mettzali is probably the greatest romantic comedy

1215
01:00:59,559 --> 01:01:01,960
of the eighties. I saw in the theater. Loved it

1216
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,920
from the first time. Yeah, and I agree we cow

1217
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,360
Up with two is better than the original. And yeah,

1218
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,599
I'm a big fan of Indiana Jones and Last Crusades

1219
01:01:09,679 --> 01:01:12,400
is fantastic. So I think eighty nine wins out just

1220
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:12,880
a little bit.

1221
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: David, what do you got?

1222
01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 3: This was tough because it came down to a couple

1223
01:01:18,239 --> 01:01:20,960
of different years. Eighty nine, of course, being the most

1224
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,920
recent year from the eighties. It's easy for me to

1225
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,360
remember that one. It was also the summer that I

1226
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,639
graduated high school in June of eighty nine, right there

1227
01:01:29,679 --> 01:01:33,239
with Batman's Star Trek five, Indiana Jones, all coming out

1228
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,000
that month. I remember that summer very very well. I

1229
01:01:36,039 --> 01:01:38,199
was out of school, I was hanging with friends on

1230
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,639
top of the world. I can't believe Jason never even

1231
01:01:40,679 --> 01:01:44,519
mentioned UHF in this entire episode. There's a big sentimental

1232
01:01:44,719 --> 01:01:48,320
gravity pool to nineteen eighty nine for all of those reasons.

1233
01:01:48,559 --> 01:01:52,079
But there's another year that had what I consider to

1234
01:01:52,119 --> 01:01:55,320
not only be the best movie of the decade, it's

1235
01:01:55,639 --> 01:01:58,760
my best movie of all time. And I don't say

1236
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,320
that lightly because it's it's always neck and neck with

1237
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,840
nineteen thirty eight Adventures of Robin Hood, which is also

1238
01:02:05,079 --> 01:02:07,920
just right there. It's Raiders of the Lost Art. And

1239
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,360
on the strength of that movie, and on the strength

1240
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,280
of the rest of June of eighty one, and on

1241
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,559
the strength of ex caliber John Borman, my favorite fantasy film,

1242
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,679
my favorite King Arthur adaptation, I have to go with

1243
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,960
nineteen eighty one, and that is in spite of the

1244
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,199
fact and in Superman two he rips off like the

1245
01:02:25,239 --> 01:02:28,679
cellophane layer of his symbol and throws it across the

1246
01:02:28,679 --> 01:02:31,920
forces of the solitude to ensnare the bad guys, I'm

1247
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:32,840
going with eighty one.

1248
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,079
Speaker 5: Jeff Well, for me, it was always about two years specifically,

1249
01:02:37,719 --> 01:02:40,280
and in my heart of hearts, I had to think

1250
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,880
about it and I came down to the year that

1251
01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:46,559
almost was our limited mini series, and that's nineteen eighty

1252
01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:50,119
four for all the reasons I started my lifelong crush

1253
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,599
for Phoebe Kate's when I saw Grimlins. It is absolutely got,

1254
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,519
in my opinion, the greatest war movie ever made. Red

1255
01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:00,920
Dawn and what can you say, you know, if you're

1256
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,000
looking for a hero the Karate Kid, we're talking about

1257
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,800
the amazing redemption story of a young John Lawrence who

1258
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,239
has everything set up for his senior year. This punk

1259
01:03:12,519 --> 01:03:16,639
LaRusso comes to town and just causes chaos, causes havoc

1260
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,440
and even in the end, just like in Rocky, he

1261
01:03:19,559 --> 01:03:22,119
maybe he loses his title, he doesn't win, but he

1262
01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:24,400
lets he lets the audience know that he's he's gonna

1263
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:24,800
be okay.

1264
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 6: You know.

1265
01:03:25,039 --> 01:03:28,119
Speaker 4: He hands the trophy over to the cheater and says,

1266
01:03:28,159 --> 01:03:29,360
you're so. You know.

1267
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,719
Speaker 5: Eighty four had it had its heroes, It had its

1268
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,719
It had its adorable girls that you could you could

1269
01:03:33,719 --> 01:03:36,320
crush on, and it had its awesome war movies, you know.

1270
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 4: So for me, it's it's nineteen eighty four.

1271
01:03:38,239 --> 01:03:40,119
Speaker 1: Jason, who does number two work for?

1272
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 4: Okay, this is really interesting. Okay.

1273
01:03:43,039 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 6: So Dayton, you chose eighty nine, Dave, you chose eighty one,

1274
01:03:46,519 --> 01:03:53,239
Jeff you chose eighty four. I'm going with eighty six, Okay, And.

1275
01:03:53,199 --> 01:03:54,039
Speaker 4: So here's the deal.

1276
01:03:54,239 --> 01:03:57,519
Speaker 6: So June of nineteen eighty one, I feel like is

1277
01:03:57,559 --> 01:04:00,880
the best month for movies, and then the entire eighties

1278
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,920
just absolute killer after absolute killer and formidable movies.

1279
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 4: To me, nineteen eighty.

1280
01:04:06,039 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 6: Four, I would say there's more like sevens and eight

1281
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,840
throughout the entire movie. But when I looked at my

1282
01:04:13,159 --> 01:04:16,360
personal top five movies from nineteen eighty six and the

1283
01:04:16,519 --> 01:04:20,000
impact that they had on me as a person, so aliens.

1284
01:04:20,239 --> 01:04:23,960
The James Cameron movie created a lifelong James Cameron van

1285
01:04:24,079 --> 01:04:26,960
in me ten ten out of ten. Top Gun made

1286
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,000
me want to be a fighter pilot with every other

1287
01:04:29,039 --> 01:04:31,559
red blooded American boy in the entire country.

1288
01:04:31,719 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 4: Ten out of ten.

1289
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,559
Speaker 6: Ferris Bueler's Day Off is one of the funniest movies

1290
01:04:34,559 --> 01:04:36,840
in the ninety eight I absolutely love it. Quoted all

1291
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,960
the time, stand by me a Stephen King movie with

1292
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,639
dramatic impact like that, and then kind of off the

1293
01:04:43,639 --> 01:04:46,679
beaten path. But what I think is the greatest horror

1294
01:04:46,719 --> 01:04:49,039
movie of the entire decade, and you have The Fly,

1295
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,079
the David Kronenberg movie, The Fly, where Jeff Goloblum slowly

1296
01:04:53,119 --> 01:04:56,239
becomes this horrific monster. I mean, I saw that in

1297
01:04:56,239 --> 01:04:58,679
the theater, scared the crap out of me, grossed me out,

1298
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,199
but broke my heart to so go with nineteen eighty six,

1299
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:03,840
I can't argue with that.

1300
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 4: Top five.

1301
01:05:05,119 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like it's time to close now, so

1302
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,719
thank you all for coming to this episode. I just

1303
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,480
I want to state for the record that I hate

1304
01:05:14,519 --> 01:05:17,960
every single one of you for all choosing a different

1305
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,239
year because I'm like, ah, well, if three of them

1306
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,280
fall back on the one that I think I'm leaning towards,

1307
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,119
well then that's fine. But yeah, you leaving me out

1308
01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:27,360
to dry here. So I guess it's my turn now

1309
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,920
to kind of make a decision based on the evidence

1310
01:05:30,039 --> 01:05:39,159
that you all have presented. Final judgment, I'm going to

1311
01:05:39,199 --> 01:05:40,800
go through each of the years just really really quickly.

1312
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,880
Eighty one. All the stuff that you guys have said

1313
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,800
Raiders is an amazing movie. I tie so many of

1314
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,960
these things to experiences I had watching some of these

1315
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,400
movies with my dad. Raiders I remember watching that with

1316
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,840
my dad, and then I remember taking my son to

1317
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,639
go see it when they brought it back out in

1318
01:05:55,679 --> 01:05:59,360
the theaters just down the street, actually from the hospice

1319
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,679
that my dad passed In the movie theater was showing

1320
01:06:01,679 --> 01:06:03,239
it one more time, and there was even a guy

1321
01:06:03,239 --> 01:06:06,159
that came with prop replicas from the movie, and we

1322
01:06:06,199 --> 01:06:08,280
stayed there. My son is the most I think he'd

1323
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,719
ever talked to another human being. He was asking questions

1324
01:06:10,719 --> 01:06:12,920
about the props and and everything else. It was just

1325
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,760
it was awesome. Stupid fun movies like cannon Ball Run

1326
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,119
American Werewolf in London one of my favorite movies, and

1327
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,239
Clash of the Titans was one of my favorite movies

1328
01:06:20,239 --> 01:06:22,280
as a kid. I had all the toys, even stupid

1329
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,480
little TV movies like This House Possessed was one that

1330
01:06:25,559 --> 01:06:28,000
I somehow watched over and over again as a kid,

1331
01:06:28,079 --> 01:06:31,119
one that we did on our show, and I was

1332
01:06:31,159 --> 01:06:33,320
blown away by this. I absolutely loved it, and the

1333
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,079
premise seems so simple. I didn't think I would love it.

1334
01:06:36,159 --> 01:06:39,719
Was my dinner with Andre I absolutely loved that movie.

1335
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,480
When we watched that, and I think the rest of

1336
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,880
my co host on our show, it just they were

1337
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:45,800
amazed too. They're like two guys having dinner, how good

1338
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,679
is it's going to be? And we watched it and

1339
01:06:47,679 --> 01:06:49,920
we're like, this was actually an awesome movie. I actually

1340
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,599
love this movie. So eighty one is just it's got

1341
01:06:52,639 --> 01:06:55,360
so much stuff to love from eighty one eighty four

1342
01:06:55,639 --> 01:06:57,880
twenty ten. I remember watching that as a kid, and

1343
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,320
it was one of the first movies where I remember

1344
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,519
the moment that you started to see spoiler alert, the monoliths.

1345
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,679
You start to see some of those monoliths show up

1346
01:07:05,679 --> 01:07:08,400
in like the Great Spot of Jupiter, and I remember

1347
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,840
getting just goosebumps as a kid, Like I loved astronomy

1348
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,599
at the time, and this movie was messing with my

1349
01:07:13,679 --> 01:07:16,360
astronomy and it was just it was bone chilling. So

1350
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,559
I remember that, and I mean, this is all the

1351
01:07:18,599 --> 01:07:20,679
stuff that my uncle used to take me to when

1352
01:07:20,719 --> 01:07:22,760
I was inappropriately too young to go to see some

1353
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,559
of these movies, you know, when I saw Nightmare on

1354
01:07:24,599 --> 01:07:29,199
Elm Street and Terminator, The Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Sixteen Candles, Never

1355
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:33,480
Ending Story, Muppets, take Manhattan, Spinal tap Amedeus. I've already

1356
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,400
said Amadeus's is one of my favorites too. My dad

1357
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,719
when he did have his stroke, you couldn't tell when

1358
01:07:38,719 --> 01:07:41,280
he was joking. He couldn't show emotion on his face

1359
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,400
anymore after he had had a stroke. And at one

1360
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,880
point they were wheeling him down through the hallway in

1361
01:07:46,039 --> 01:07:49,360
the wheelchair, and he starts turning to the other people

1362
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,280
that are sitting off to the side working puzzles and

1363
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:55,960
doing other things, and he just goes, Mediocrates, Mediocrates, everywhere,

1364
01:07:56,599 --> 01:07:59,000
I am your patron saint, and I go, okay, so

1365
01:07:59,679 --> 01:08:04,840
you have not lost your sense of humor. Eighty six

1366
01:08:05,079 --> 01:08:09,920
Little Shop of Horrors, Three Amigos, Hoosiers, Crocodile, Dundee, The

1367
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,440
Fly Transformers. The movie maybe one of the first times

1368
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,320
I cried in a movie as a kid. Stand by

1369
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,920
Me Aliens, Labyrinth. I can't even tell you, between my

1370
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,000
siblings and myself, the number of times we quote Labyrinth

1371
01:08:21,079 --> 01:08:23,760
on a daily basis. Big Trouble in Little China. I'm

1372
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,640
so shocked nobody wanted to go the creep factor and

1373
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,000
choose Poltergeist too, and tell us about how God is

1374
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,479
in his Holy Temple Highlander, American Tale, Platoon, and then

1375
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,039
eighty nine, I mean Christmas Vacation. These are a lot

1376
01:08:36,039 --> 01:08:37,800
of the movies in here are just the ones that

1377
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,640
are on regular rotation. Just Back to the Future two

1378
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,399
was probably one of the first movies I took my

1379
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,640
son to go see in the theater. Little Mermaid, Parenthood

1380
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,600
when Harry met Sally Honey, I Shrunk the Kids was

1381
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,399
always a big one. Dead Poets Society was the movie

1382
01:08:51,399 --> 01:08:54,359
that probably most inspired me to become a teacher. Last

1383
01:08:54,359 --> 01:08:59,039
Crusade Roadhouse the Burbs, my son playing baseball. I mean,

1384
01:08:59,039 --> 01:09:01,039
there's not a game where, at least in my own head.

1385
01:09:01,039 --> 01:09:03,279
If I don't say it out loud, at some point,

1386
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,359
I'm gonna say the phrase just a bit outside and

1387
01:09:06,399 --> 01:09:08,600
then I don't think anybody mentioned for eighty nine Bill

1388
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,439
and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Well, I've taken all of your information,

1389
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,840
and I've heard all of your arguments over the course

1390
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,880
of this episode, and I am going to say that

1391
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,119
I'm not gonna cop out, but I am gonna say, God,

1392
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:23,600
all these years are just amazing. There's a reason why

1393
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,159
these are the four that we ended up having for

1394
01:09:26,199 --> 01:09:30,920
this episode, because you really honestly can't go wrong. I'm

1395
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,720
gonna have to go with and I think some of

1396
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,079
the pop culture argument for this year, and I think

1397
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:39,920
just I think it's one of the things that the

1398
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,399
person who had this year, it was one of your

1399
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,199
reasons for why this year was so pivotal, And I

1400
01:09:45,199 --> 01:09:47,600
think that's gonna be the same that I'm gonna have

1401
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,840
to go with in my decision. And it's probably the

1402
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,399
year where I own most of the movies that are

1403
01:09:52,399 --> 01:09:54,920
on this list. It's the year that probably inspired most

1404
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,880
of my love of movies, my love of literature, the

1405
01:09:58,199 --> 01:10:01,840
types of genres I enjoy, all that other stuff. I

1406
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,880
am going to have to go with the one that

1407
01:10:04,119 --> 01:10:07,920
started a whole bunch of these franchises. I'm gonna have

1408
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,640
to go with nineteen eighty four. I gotta go with

1409
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,600
eighty four. Like I said before, that was one of

1410
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,720
the reasons we started our show was we were sitting

1411
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,119
around arguing this point and we said, God, that's just

1412
01:10:19,239 --> 01:10:22,359
look at everything that got started that year. Yes, I

1413
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,239
love and I'm a person that loves sequels too, even

1414
01:10:24,319 --> 01:10:27,399
bad sequels. I love having the sequels. I love having

1415
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,479
all that fan service of bringing back those sequels and

1416
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,000
just getting more of what I enjoy. But eighty four,

1417
01:10:33,199 --> 01:10:36,359
just man, that kicked off so many things that became

1418
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,760
so huge. I love all of you, I love all

1419
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,279
the years. I think I gotta go with eighty four.

1420
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 3: So it's totally reasonable, makes perfect sense to you.

1421
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I kind of thought you'd say that.

1422
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,239
Speaker 4: So there we none live with Dame now.

1423
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: And thankfully this is not just my decision, because the

1424
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,640
listeners are going to weigh on this too. So so

1425
01:10:58,159 --> 01:11:00,000
we've heard all the evidence. I've said what I think

1426
01:11:00,119 --> 01:11:03,039
it is. I've said nineteen eighty four. But we want

1427
01:11:03,079 --> 01:11:05,680
the listeners to weigh on in this as well. Jason,

1428
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,039
how do you want how do you want listeners to

1429
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:08,560
let you know what their phote is.

1430
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 6: We're gonna put it out on Facebook, We're going to

1431
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,720
put it out on Twitter. We'll share it for everybody

1432
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,199
to weigh in on what they think is the best

1433
01:11:16,279 --> 01:11:18,159
year of the nineteen eighties.

1434
01:11:18,359 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 4: And if you say nineteen eighty seven, you're out, And

1435
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:21,239
I'd just.

1436
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,399
Speaker 6: John, thank you very much for moderating. Guys, thank you

1437
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,520
so much for being here. I had a great time

1438
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,039
and that was a great discussion.

1439
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,399
Speaker 3: Enjoyed it, fantastic time.

1440
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Absolutely absolutely love these are these

1441
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,800
big multi show collaborations we do sometimes and looking forward

1442
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:40,640
to the next one already.

1443
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:42,520
Speaker 4: This was this was a blast. Thanks so much.
