    Clue (1985) & the Year We Lost Some Legends

    It’s time to head back to 1985 and one of the most gloriously ridiculous murder mysteries ever made: Clue! Brad, Giff, and special guest Pete revisit the cult comedy that has only grown more beloved over the years — and Pete may be its biggest fan. We talk about our memories of first seeing Clue, why the movie didn’t exactly set the box office on fire in 1985, and how it eventually found its audience. We also dig into the movie’s stacked cast, including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Leslie Ann Warren, and Colleen Camp. And because Tim Curry's death brought us back to the movie in the first place, we spend the second half of the episode remembering some of the other celebrities we've lost in 2026. We hold our own draft of favorite celebrities who died this year, with picks including Dolly Parton, James Van Der Beek, James Burrows, and Chuck Norris. 🔎In This Episode Revisiting Clue (1985)Tim Curry's unforgettable performance as WadsworthThe incredible ensemble castAll three theatrical endingsFavorite scenes and funniest linesMadeline Kahn's legendary improvWhy Clue has become a cult classicSiskel & Ebert vs. the Clue fansDrafting the celebrities we lost in 2026And one final accusation you won't want to miss Support our show and join our Patreon!

    1980: Caddyshack / Top Bill Murray Stuff

    It's happening! After close to three years, we're finally talking about maybe our collective favorite movie ever: 1980's Caddyshack! No movie has been more quoted, more watched, and more important to bringing us together with our friends than Caddyshack. In this episode, we talk all about what makes it great in our opinion. One of the reasons Caddyshack is so wonderful is the performance of Bill Murray. While Ted Knight (Judge Smails), Rodney Dangerfield (Al Czervik), and Chevy Chase (Ty Webb) are also at the top of their game, Murray's Carl Spackler stands out as much as anyone else. We cap the episode off by drafting our favorite Bill Murray movies and other credits. Well...we're waiting...for you to listen! Support our show and join our Patreon!

    If there is one thing we love at PCY more than nostalgia, it might be trivia. The arrival of Trivial Pursuit in the 80s took the board game world by storm. At least that's how we remembered it. We talk about our first memories of the game (Spiro Agnew) and even pit Brad against Giff in a quick trivia match.  After the exciting mano a mano, we finish the episode by drafting our favorite board games.

    What happens when two Gen X parents sit down with one of their Gen Z daughters to talk about Olivia Rodrigo? You get two generations, three perspectives, and plenty of opinions. In this episode, Giff, Brad, and Brad's daughter Isla dive into Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, talking about the songs, the sound, the lyrics, and what makes Olivia such a massive star with a younger generation. Along the way, we look at how she has also connected many Gen Xers as well by following in the footsteps of many 80s and 90s hitmakers like David Byrne, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna and others.  Listen now to hear where our musical tastes overlap and where they definitely don't!

    1980: Flash Gordon / Top One-Time Movie Characters

    Dave is back! When our sometime host Dave heard we were doing 1980, he requested we discuss one of his favorite movies, Flash Gordon. None of the rest of us had seen this movie, and it is quite an experience. While it may not be the best movie ever made, it definitely has found its way into pop culture still today, thanks in no small part to the movie Ted. It also doesn't hurt that the music was done by Queen. It's a movie everyone should probably see once.  Flash Gordon was pretty clearly thought to be a franchise with multiple sequels, but it didn't work out that way. So our draft in this one is our favorite characters who only ever appeared in one movie. Obviously a very broad topic, we cover a lot of ground and are sure to mention many greats that you will love.  Support our show and join our Patreon!

    1980: The Jerk (1979) / Top Quotes from The Jerk

    We were 4 years old in 1980, so when we started this show we figured that would be as far back as we'd go. But now that we're actually focusing on the year 1980, we are making an exception. And you can ALWAYS make an exception for Steve Martin. The Jerk was released in December of 1979. But it was such a great and important movie (especially for Brad) that we're including it now. It'd a great way to kickoff the new month! We'll share our memories and break the movie down for you in all its glory. And since this is one of the most quotable movies of all-time, we finish it off by drafting our favorite quotes from the movie. It's a fun draft and a good way to keep us on track!
