Two BFF’s reheat movies from their LA childhood to see if the leftovers have retained their flavour in these oh so modern times or leave a bad taste in their mouths. Comedic deconstructions of the world’s most beloved films (along with some of the world’s most floppiest flops) with the hindsight of 30+ years.

    Get your Hot White Privilege: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

    The debate is on: Is Ferris a cool, charismatic guy with a 'living in the moment' philosophy that we all can learn from or is he a narcissistic bitch boy sickeningly stuffed with so much privilege that he sees manipulation as a way of 'helping' poor Cameron have a good time? It's hard to dismiss a classic, especially one with such brilliantly iconic scenes, but damn Ferris...why you got to be such a dick sometimes? Special Guest Leslie Graves provides excellent insight and deep cuts on this very divisive episode of EAM.

    Get Your Hot White Privilege: Sixteen Candles (1984)

    Sixteen reasons that Sixteen Candles (1984) really is the worst of the worst. Sexist. Racist. Rapist. Pinkerbell. Xenophobic. Inappropriate touching. Teenage girl experience through the Male Gaze. S****y, forgetful parents. Anger Ball grandfathers. Violent grandmothers. Privileged kids. Stupid, narcissistic heartthrobs. Basically wrote the Date Rape Script. Obsessed with breasts, unrealistic views on love and romance. A touch of gaslighting. John Hughes.

    All That Glitters: Legend (1985?)

    Cruise in a cocktail dress, Curry in 7-inch platforms and Tangerine Dream. Yup, we're reheating the fantasy feast that is Legend. Some parts are as yummy as every delectable word that comes out of Curry's black-lipped mouth, but ultimately we got a bit sick of Lily as well as the many different versions and cuts of this film - Ridley!!! Actress Alix Martin joins us as we go to hell and back in a tsunami of glitter, glitter, glitter. So be good for goodness saaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

    All That Glitters: Labyrinth (1986)

    Dark, dangerous and super-creepy...yup, we're talking about Jim Henson's 1986's children cult-classic Labyrinth. Sarah is a spoiled brat, lost in a fantasy world, who wishes away her poor little baby brother Toby. Jareth, a goblin king with a penchant for super-tight trousers and teased hair, grants her wish only to become a total creepazoid as he obsesses over owning her. It's a classic with puppets and poppy tunes to sing along to - "Dance Baby Dance"!

    It's Halloween, Witches: The Worst Witch (1986)

    We're kicking off Halloween week with The Worst Witch, which just happens to be Sacha's favorite. Super low-fi effects, a ridiculous soundtrack, kittens and Tim Curry - what could go wrong?

    When Tom Hanks was Funny: Splash (1984)

    Behold the mermaid! A male sex fantasy in romantic comedy's clothing, Splash is a straight-up head-scratcher at times, but Darryl Hannah brings it as Ron Howard's version of Ariel, John Candy is perfectly effortless as a lovable letch, Eugene Levy is cracks us up with his neurotic paranoia and Tom Hanks...well, as Allan, he's got a bit of a mean streak. It's modern-day mermaids, butt merkins and lobsters for lunch. Jump on in, but just to warn you - the water's a bit gross.

    When Tom Hanks was Funny...The Money Pit (1986)

    Money Pit is a romp of slapstick and seal laughs with the best narcissistic Russian composer that has ever graced the silver-scene - but can Shelley play the Long game to get this movie into the Comedy Hall of Fame? And while T. Hanks kills it with his bobble-head comedy chops, is it enough to save us from that oh-so-problematic plot twist at the end? And why, Why, WHY is that tune so damn catchy?
