- Tv en film
Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

53- Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1980s)
In this episode- recorded right at the tail end of 2023- Campbell and I discuss cult horror film 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space', and dig deep into Campbell's childhood clown trauma which came as a result of seeing this movie at a young age.

52- Cyndi Lauper: Girls Just Want to Have Fun & The Goonies 'R' Good Enough (1980s, Richard Donner #3)
In this short solo episode I discuss the music videos for 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' (directed by Edd Griles) and 'The Goonies 'R' Good Enough' (directed by Richard Donner) from pop superstar Cyndi Lauper. Because why not?

51- Back to the Future & Back to the Future Part II (1980s)
Great Scott! In this episode of the podcast- fittingly- we travel back in time to 2015 and 2016 for two conversations originally recorded for my original podcast, the SpielbergPod. These two conversations are on 'Back to the Future' (with my good friend Jake) and 'Back to the Future Part II' (with my equally excellent pal Paul). And the three of us have a lot of love for these brilliant movies.

50- The Fox and the Hound (1980s, Disney #18)
In this episode Paul and I pick back up with our ongoing DIsney coverage with a discussion on 'The Fox and the Hound'. We also pause to say goodbye to Carl Weathers (we recorded this the week he died) and to share our thoughts on hunting, particularly fox hunting (spoiler: we're not fans).
-
49- Hellraiser (1980s)
This episode- recorded somewhen in 2023- Paul, Kieran and I open the puzzle box that is 1987's 'Hellraiser', the iconic horror from Clive Barker.

48- For Your Eyes Only (1980s, James Bond #12)
Since it's a Bank Holiday in the UK, it seems 100% appropriate for us to return to James Bond franchise today (because- historically- they would always seem to show the films on terrestrial TV on a Bank Holiday) with a conversation between Kieran, Paul and myself on 'For Your Eyes Only' which we recorded in late 2022. A note for historians- Liz Truss was a famously short-lived British Prime Minister in 2022 (she lasted seven weeks in Number 10, though during most of that time the place was shut due to the death of Queen Liz). Oh, and Paul mentions a couple of times a podcast he and I recorded on 'Casino Royal'. In case you wondered if you'd missed this episode, well, you haven't as we never did an episode on that film but I'd love to talk about the '06 'Casino Royal' (the '67 version, not so much) so Paul- call me!
