Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

Nov 15 2024 108 mins  
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug would rather talk about Lea Thompson meeting Howard Stern, Jamie gets distracted when her dog starts barking at the possibility of a giant duck, and we quickly come to the conclusion that this is not a film for children or adults.

Due to a programming change, we present you with our appearance taking over the 90s movie podcast, Filmshake. They swapped in for us a couple years back when they covered Solarbabies, and we jumped on their feed to discuss 2 films from the 90s, the punishment movie Spice World (that only Doug was subjected to) and the main course, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Enjoy the show and know

Nov 01 2024 85 mins  
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug tries to understand why the characters are all wearing Halloween costumes to ring in the New Year, Jamie finds David Copperfield uncharismatic and simply creepy, and we both delight in the constant Barbara Walters 'soft focus' of all interior shots. Hop in bed with that corpse, put on the most terrifying Groucho Marx costume you can

266: Punky Brewster: The Perils of Punky (1985)

Oct 31 2024 62 mins  
On this Holiday Special dip into television, Doug relates most to the child who becomes despondent and embraces the sweet release of death when lost in a cave, Jamie is forced to examine her obsession with orphans as a child, and we both agree that perhaps this elderly man may not be the pest caregiver for this small child. Strap on your neon headband, kill your enemies with kindne

265: The Burning (1981)

Oct 25 2024 93 mins  
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie confuses Sudoku with Wordle, Doug somehow works Goodfellas reference and terrible Ray Liotta impression into a slasher movie, and we both agree that Cropsey should stop bathing in kerosene before bed each night.

264: Happy Birthday to Me (1981)

Oct 18 2024 101 mins  
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug loves seeing the last gasps of once-famous actors in horror movies, Jamie sees the true horror of weight lifting, and we both are delightfully surprised by the 'reveal' in a horror film. Remove all loose clothing when repairing your motorcycle, after a tragedy be sure to get your family member the help they really need, and join us

263: Near Dark (1987)

Oct 11 2024 86 mins  
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie just wants to take a few moments to 'Tickle the Monster', Doug's television really wants him to watch Juwanna Mann instead of Near Dark, and we both agree that there needs to be a new Vampire handbook or pamphlet printed much like the Handbook to the Recently Deceased in Beetlejuice. Take a moment to stop and listen to the night, chug tha

Oct 04 2024 92 mins  
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug thinks the waterbed was only invented for sex, Jamie admits to watching The Real Housewives...ONLY WHEN SICK, and we both feel bad for the overweight actor who has to refer to himself as a 'water pig' more than once. Deliver lines as though you're a child learning to read, keep up with your pool cleaning, and join us as we are absol

Sep 27 2024 86 mins  
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie's excitement about sharing a name with the film's lead is quickly destroyed, Doug advises all babysitters out there to never help bathe children over the age of ten, and we both agree that any mean red-haired children deserve to be fed to pit tollologs. Go on a fun run with your local elementary school teacher, pick out the best costume y

Sep 20 2024 80 mins  
On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug takes a break from the podcast to karate-kick his dog (joking), Jamie thinks that being submerged in mud in the humid Vietnamese jungle may actually be refreshing, and we both agree that this is a movie that caused us to swear off Chuck Norris films on this podcast. Cover yourself in worms, take a big bite of rat, and join us as we
