The Movie Loft Podcast features three Boston boys, Tony, Phil and Thom, in an old barn loft talking about '80s movies and memories. The name and premise is also a nod to a titular Boston institution, The Movie Loft, featuring Dana Hersey, which ran on WSBK TV-38 throughout our “salad days”. This project started as an excuse to capture our conversations for posterity. Highlighting a different movie in each episode, we revisit some long forgotten memories, and in the process weave together a documentary of our formative years. The point of this show is not to walk anyone through a movie scene by scene - we’re well aware you’ve been watching these flicks for decades. The aim is to discuss our deep appreciation for what it took to get each picture made, where we were when we experienced them, and how they’re a part of the zeitgeist of their times. Sure, we have some opinions, maybe even a few “hot takes”, but we’re really just here for your entertainment. Hopefully you’ll finish each episode feeling like you had a seat at our table.

The Malden Chronicles — Rent a Dent
Here we are again. What to say? If you've read any summaries on older Malden episodes, you've got the lay of the land. If not, please indulge yourself. It really does provide a little more insight, which inevitably makes the listening experience more engaging. In the immortal word of Charlie Daniels...But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myselfAnd I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody elseNo I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myselfThat th...

Hoosiers 1986
Hoosiers 1986. Gene Hackman takes us to the hoop with this classicg tale of triumph and redemption. Commanding your respect and admiration along the way....unlike that louse of a drunk that Dennis Hopper plays. Shaking and shivering like a scared little bitch below the covers. I'm so cold....waaaaaah.It was Dentyne.

The Terminator 1984
Join us on the flat circle, for the first in a seemingly endless loop of Terminator films. One and done. We're giving you the best of the lot. Best of the decade. Best of the genre. This is (unarguably) James Cameron's best film, thanks in large part to his brilliant (re)casting of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Linda Hamilton, Michael Biehn, Earl Been, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton and Paul Winfield round out this inspired cast. Never forget Dick Miller, no matter how small his part may be.Bess ...

The Malden Chronicles — Crime Does Pay
Here we are again with another episode of The Malden Chronicles….Crime Does Pay. A few more unearthed stories from my older brothers Jamie and Jeffrey. Cue the Benny Hill music.Lean and mean. As usual, this sit-down has been trimmed down to 45 minutes from well over two hours. Dressed up in its best court suit and ready for public presentation. You’ll have to trust the fact that a lot of the other stuff has to remain in the family breast pocket. I couldn’t possibly edit some of the tales in a...

Customer Reviews
Podcast of the year!!
No wonder the Movie Loft podcast won Podcast of the year 6 times in a row!!! (I just made that up), these Dooods are awesome and genuinely having a good time talking about stuff we all love and we’re a part of.
I really feel like I’m in the Loft with them even when I’m not. Solid movies, solid reviews, and solid characters that force you to pay attention to every word.
I can’t get enough and recommend to everyone!

Love the Vibes of this Show
I can picture the barn loft, and somehow, it makes for a cozier listen!! I love that this show’s mission is to weave together a documentation of your formative years! Such a cool way to do it, through the lens of movies. Movies and songs, to me, are like stickers that catch the memories of the time period you saw or heard them in, and this show proves that! Loved the part about the parachute pants btw 😂 Always down to support another Boston pod! Five Stars, and Be Kind, Remind! 😀
What were we talking about again?
They may not stay on topic, but they will keep you entertained and take you back to your youth.
