Hard On The 80's John Styn, Jim Styn, Shonda Dawson

Shonda is back! We took a trip back and revisited this beloved movie from our youth.  We all had some laughs, but we were unprepared for the ickiness that was considered "normal" in this 1984 film.


ABOUT:
We re-watch classics like Porky's, Hardbodies, and Meatballs and dive deep into the cringe-fest films that warped a generation.

Jimmy and Johnny are brothers who grew up in the 80's and both worked at a West Coast Video rental store for one horrific summer. They reunite with their dear friend Shonda, another 80's childhood survivor, after falling out of touch for almost a decade. Hilarity ensues.

Johnny pushes hard to convince Jimmy that SCROOGED is about psychedelics & trauma work.

They both agree that Bill Murray is amazing.

Flash Gordon came out 43 years ago and it shows.  It's like  "Star Wars" if you ordered it on WISH.com.  It has plenty of ridiculousness that makes it fun to watch.  And even though a couple of the scenes have been scorched into Jim and John's brains, we still felt bad for making Shonda watch it.  Lots of laughing as we discussed, of course.

Before you could see endless boobs on the internet, 80's sex comedies were the only way kids saw naked ladies - or learned about sex. Johnny, Shonda, and Jimmy re-watch classics like Porky's, Hardbodies, and Meatballs and dive deep into the cringe-fest films that warped a generation.

"Eat. My. Shorts."  The crew revisits a John Hughes movie that was important to all three of us.  Does it hold up?  Well, Bender's sexual talk is NOT cute anymore.  But the depth shown of each character remains rich and valuable.  We also shared a bunch of our own Jr. High and High School experiences.

Maybe those town elders weren't so bad?  Jimmy and Johnny cut loose to this 1984 Kevin Bacon dance-a-thon.

This Cameron Crowe 80's masterpiece gives an intense look at sex, awkwardness, school & pot smoking.
We delved into all sorts of side convos about masturbation,  our mall jobs, adolescent anxiety, and our horrible personal experiences with music teacher Mr Campiglia.  
Enjoy!
