Darren and Matt are taking an excellent adventure through the 80's. Join them weekly as they break down some of the greatest (and some of the worst) films of the best decade in recent history.

  1. Bloodsport (1988)

    FEB 8

    Bloodsport (1988)

    “You break my record, now I break you, like I break your friend.”   This episode we venture to Hong Kong with Van Damme to the most dangerous fighting tournament in the world with 1989’s Bloodsport.  This film has a cult status but does it hold up nearly 40 years later? Join us as we look at the highs, lows and sheer 80’sness of this “true story” from the decade where nothing was impossible.

  3. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

    The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

    “Christmas is a very busy time for us, Mr. Cratchit. People preparing feasts, giving parties, spending the mortgage money on frivolities. One might say that December is the foreclosure season. Harvest time for the money-lenders.” It’s nearly Christmas and from both of us we would like to say thank you to everyone for your support throughout the years and 2026 will be another fun year in the land of 80’s Adventure. This last episode before the end of the year has us venturing to Victorian London with the Muppets and the legendary Sir Michael Caine.  So, grab a Baileys and sit by the tree as we break down this take on the greatest story ever told.

  4. Miracle on 34th Street (1994)

    12/14/2025

    Miracle on 34th Street (1994)

    “Would it please the court if I gave you your Christmas card? I don't think I'll see you again. Unless I get arrested, which is highly unlikely because it's Christmas Eve and I'm going to bed uncharacteristically early.”   Ho- Ho - Ho!   Another decade breach this week for Christmas and this week we venture to New York in the 90s for Miracle on 34th Street.   This remake of the 1947 film is fondly remembered by both of us and we hope that it has aged well.  Join us to hear our thoughts and ramblings as we keep the festive train going with this one.   Please share with anyone who is a fan of these films and the 80’s in general.  You can get in touch with us on the links below.    Cheersy Follow 80s Adventure on facebook    facebook.com/80sadventure    Check out the website    80sadventure.com    Email 80s Adventure    podcast@80sadventure.com    Support 80s Adventure on Patreon    patreon.com/80sadventure    Buy the boys a beer ko-fi.com/80sadventure

    Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

    "Get outta here, you nosey little pervert, or I'm gonna slap you silly!"   After nearly a year away we are delighted to be back with a whole bunch of new episodes starting with this Christmas gem. Yes, it’s the 90’s but 80’s Christmas films are hard to come by and besides, if you can’t decade breach at Christmas when can you?  So, join us as we get lost in New York with Kevin McCallister and try to avoid the Sticky Bandits. We want to thank you for sticking with us even as we took a year off but there is plenty more to come we assure you, so with that in mind just sit back and enjoy this festive episode of Darren and Matt’s 80’s Adventure. Please share with anyone who is a fan of these films and the 80’s in general.  You can get in touch with us on the links below.    Cheersy!  Follow 80s Adventure on facebook    facebook.com/80sadventure    Check out the website    80sadventure.com    Email 80s Adventure    podcast@80sadventure.com    Support 80s Adventure on Patreon    patreon.com/80sadventure    Buy the boys a beer ko-fi.com/80sadventure

  6. Prancer (1989)

    12/11/2024

    Prancer (1989)

    “The problem is, Jessie... I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore.”  Ho-Ho-Ho.  This week we are looking at a film we have debated doing every Christmas and that film is 1986’s Prancer.  Starring the wonderful Sam Elliott, this Christmas adventure follows a young girl who finds a wounded reindeer and believes it is the infamous Prancer. So what did we think of this film? Did it ignite the festive joy in us or leave us feeling as cold as a reindeer's nose?  Grab an apple cider and join us in another Christmas episode of Darren and Matt’s 80’s Adventure to find out.  As always, thank you for listening.  Please share with anyone who is a fan of these films and the 80’s in general.  You can get in touch with us on the links below.    Cheersy!    Follow 80s Adventure on facebook    facebook.com/80sadventure    Check out the website    80sadventure.com    Email 80s Adventure    podcast@80sadventure.com    Support 80s Adventure on Patreon    patreon.com/80sadventure    Buy the boys a beer ko-fi.com/80sadventure

  7. Die Hard 2 (1990)

    12/01/2024

    Die Hard 2 (1990)

    “You're the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.”  This episode we catch up with John McClane as he goes to pick his wife up from the airport at Christmas and well, you know the drill.  With a slight decade breach we head to 1990 for Die Hard 2.  It’s a tough task to live up to the original and in this episode we see if it can be done.  So, grab one of Al’s Twinkies and join us as the countdown to Christmas begins.    As always, thank you for listening.  Please share with anyone who is a fan of these films and the 80’s in general.  You can get in touch with us on the links below.    Cheersy!    Follow 80s Adventure on facebook    facebook.com/80sadventure    Check out the website    80sadventure.com    Email 80s Adventure    podcast@80sadventure.com    Support 80s Adventure on Patreon    patreon.com/80sadventure    Buy the boys a beer ko-fi.com/80sadventure

  8. About Last Night... (1986)

    About Last Night... (1986)

    “Fine. I'm gone. It's done. And you can go back to doing whatever you want to do, with whoever you want to do it, and whatever orifice you want to do it in.”  This episode we go to a film that neither of us had ever seen as we head to Chicago in 1986 for About Last Night… starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore who look just as good today as they did nearly 40 years ago.  So, why not head down to Mothers Bar and see what we think about this film based on a David Mamet play from the 70’s.  As always, thank you for listening.  Please share with anyone who is a fan of these films and the 80’s in general.  You can get in touch with us on the links below.  Cheersy!    Follow 80s Adventure on facebook    facebook.com/80sadventure    Check out the website    80sadventure.com    Email 80s Adventure    podcast@80sadventure.com    Support 80s Adventure on Patreon    patreon.com/80sadventure    Buy the boys a beer ko-fi.com/80sadventure
