Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

235: Tough Guys Don't Dance (1987)
On our episode, Doug tries to describe the sound of a penis flopping out of pants, Jamie describes this film through cake and sandwich metaphors (both of which make less sense than the film itself), and we struggle to come to terms with our feelings on this film.

234: Rappin' (1985)
On our episode, Jamie assumes that this film is a pretty accurate representation of Pittsburgh gang life, Doug is befuddled by just how stupid our title character is, and we devolve into fits of laughter throughout as it's been quite a while since we've reviewed anything that rises to this level of bonkers on the podcast.

233: Blood Simple (1984)

232: Satisfaction (1988)
On our episode, Jamie reveals that her rock group would sing mostly candy-related tunes, Doug wonders if Debbie Harry just happened to wander onto set one afternoon as a big Family Ties fan, and we both agree that at this point in their careers Justine was out acting her brother and Billie was out Bette Midler-ing Seth Green.

231: Beetlejuice (1988)
See, sometimes we cover a film that is both a good time AND a great movie...On our episode, Doug takes a moment to give some advice to listeners who rent Airbnb's, Jamie accidentally pitches a podcast where she and Doug just watch Best of the Best every day and discuss it, and neither of us can think if the composer Danny Elfman and it was just too embarrassingly good to be cut out.

Customer Reviews
So much fun!
I started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago and can’t stop! I love the banter between Jamie and Doug - they make me laugh every time! Plus, it’s a blast to go back to some of these movies that I have not seen in a very long time. There are a lot of horror movies reviewed, which are not my thing, but plenty of other movies to keep me engaged! If you are a product of the 80s like I am - you definitely need to listen!!
Entertaining and informative!
These two have fun riffing on films and also bring on wonderful guests. Highly recommended!
Love the 80s
