Cinema Time Capsule

We revisit movies from the days of our youth in the 1980s. We choose a theme, select films that we think are among the best and ask you to vote on which you think belongs in the time capsule for future generations. We watch each movie before debating which live up to our nostalgic memories or fail and are cast out on to the junk pile of forgettable flicks.

    Episode 13: Comic book movies!

    Comics were huge in the early 20th century. Superheroes came to life on the radio in the 30s before movies and then TV in the 60s. They appeared to experience a resurgence in the 80s as film companies re-discovered this treasure trove of beloved characters and stories (decades before the onslaught of the MCU). We take you back to our childhoods of buying comics and watching our favourites (Batman, Superman, the Hulk and more) on the silver screen with our guest and long-time friend, Casey Parsons. Casey has been drawing since he was two years old and has become a well-known comic book artist, drawing covers for several titles (including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Haha, Little Bird, Swamp Dogs, Creepshow and Department Of Truth) and was featured in multiple Marvel trading card series (including the box art for one set)! He also loves movies so brings a wealth of knowledge on both fronts.

    Episode 12: Dystopian movies!

    Every generation dreams about the future and what advances will be made. In the 80s, we were wondering about the new millenium and whether we would have alien or robot overlords. Join us and our special guest, Doug Nagy, as we explore the roots of humanity's dystopian fascination, what they say about us and what some of our favourite films in this genre got right in their future predictions. Shortly after this was recorded, Doug was named Hamilton's Funniest Comic! We got little glimpses of his humour while also learning a lot about his favourite movies outside of 'Roadhouse'.

    Episode 11: John Hughes teen movies!

    No writer and director spent more time mining adolescence in the 80s than the eternal teenager, John Hughes. Join us and our guest, Mary Kennedy, as we dig into his six teen films and explore what we feel has remained endearing and valuable and what has lost its lustre with the passage of time and growth (or maybe was problematic back then too but wasn't spoken). We try to cover it all before we decide which film belongs in the Cinema Time Capsule.

    Episode 10: Holiday blitz (Sears Wishbook 1985 edition)!

    Happy holidays, viewers! Join us as we travel back to 1985 to pick our 'top five' toy requests to Santa and our parents based on the Sears Wishbook while reminiscing a bit on Eaton's and Consumers Distributing. A lot of you sent in messages about your favourite Christmas toys too so thank you! We also revisit a couple of our favourite 80s holiday TV specials and hope you will watch with us.

    Episode 9: Horror (Part 2)!

    You want more terror? Ahhhhhh! Lock the doors and do not invite in any stranger that show up (they are vampires, for sure). Here's the second half of our horrifying conversation with Mike Trebilcock in which we revisit some of our favourite frightening flicks of the 80s.

    Episode 9: Horror (part 1)!

    Who likes being scared? Child Of The 80s does, that's who! The Doctor Of All Things Retro maintains he does not in spite of his co-host's insistence otherwise! We had the pleasure of watching some horror films with Mike Trebilcock, frontman of Canadian music legends, The Killjoys, and composer of film scores for current horror movies. Mike and Jeff bond over their love of this genre, Joel warms to the idea that he might not dislike it as much as he originally thought and Producer Simon tries to keep them all from being lost in the woods (nothing good ever comes of that in a horror film).

    Episode 8: Cereal blitz!

    Waking up in the morning was/is a drag but filling a bowl with your favourite sugary cereals can turn that frown upside down and get you running. Free toy inside! Free toy inside! So many good cereals with great commercials and false promises of healthy eating were part of our 80s childhoods. We bought a lot of our favourites to reminisce and see if they were as good in 2023 as they were in 1983.
