Beverly Hills Cop 2 (1987)
“Hey, Ace. I would very much like you to meet Judy. She can suck a golf ball through twenty feet of garden hose. Ain't that right?”
This week's episode marks some changes as we hit episode 101! Minor tweaks have taken place in the 80’s Adventure studio but it's still the show you know and hopefully love.
What better way to start the next 100 episodes than to go back to where it started and cover the sequel to one of the first films we covered with Beverly Hills Cop 2!
Released in 1987 as a reaction to the juggernaut that was the original, so how does it compare?

The Secret of My Success (1987)
“Please God, help me get out of this. I swear I'll go all over the world telling people not to screw the boss's wife.”
This week the boys celebrate 100 episodes by going back to where it all started with 1987’s The Secret of My Success. In early 2020 Darren and Matt sat down to record a pilot that was never released. Now they go back to that very film with a much different format than the pilot and many, many films under their belt.
Starring the great Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater this comedy from 1987 is a classic for the boys so strap in and see what they have to say about this one.

Here is to another 100… Cheersy!

A View to a Kill (1985)
“Well my dear, I take it you spend quite a lot of time in the saddle”
This week the boys journey to 1985 to tackle their first James Bond film in nearly 100 episodes! They tackle this 80s example of excess, questionable plans for domination and double entendres… and they tackle it hard. See what we did there?
So grab a Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred and join the boys in the last Bond outing from Roger Moore.

Staying Alive (1983)
“In case you don't know this, I used to be pretty incredible myself when I lived in Brooklyn.”
This week the boys take a look at the 1983 follow up to Saturday Night fever with Staying Alive. This is a film that Darren was forced to watch by Matt and you might actually be surprised with the result.
So dust off your lycra, shake those hips and join the boys as they delve into the world of strange Broadway shows, Frank Stallone music and loincloths.

Predator (1987)
"RUN, GO! GET TO THE CHOPPER!"
This week the boys venture to 1987 to watch a classic Arnie film, Predator. A film that has spawned many sequels but this is the only one to star Schwarzenegger as he takes one of the classic sci fi monsters of our time.
What do you think of this one? Have you seen Predator recently? Have a listen and see what the boys think and as always feel free to get in touch via the links below.

In the first film of 2024 for the boys they are venturing to 1983 to take a look at The Outsiders. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and based on the book by S. E. Hinton this film features a whole slew of actors who were largely unknown at the time but went on to be some of the most recognisable faces that we know today.
So grab a beer and join Darren and Matt as they share their thoughts on The Outsiders.

Customer Reviews
Great show!
Found this show a few days ago and so glad I did!! Excellent love for the 80s. Pure nostalgia!! Happy to subscribe!
What a great spread
I feel that the 80s is the best decade for film. This is great podcast that you can approach buffet style picking the movies you most enjoy. I had a great time with Bill and Ted and I would recommend this podcast!
Don’t Overlook This Show
Was introduced to Darren and Matt’s show through a mutual friend on Twitter. Started with the Aliens episode and ... wow. You’ll get a “diamond in the rough” feeling when you find this show. Just start from a movie title that interests you and listen in. Fantastic production quality, witty, and easy to laugh along with. Appreciate the historical discussion, for the film and the year released. Lots of 80s shows out there, but their one is top-tier.
