    Fletch

    What do you get when an undercover reporter, a mysterious millionaire, and a suitcase full of secrets collide? In this episode, Amanda Stephens and Missy Washam rewind the 1985 comedy classic Fletch, the fast-talking mystery that turned quick wit and clever disguises into one of the decade’s most quotable films. Starring Chevy Chase, alongside Tim Matheson and Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, the story follows investigative journalist Irwin “Fletch” Fletcher as he stumbles into a strange proposition while working undercover on the beaches of Los Angeles. When a wealthy businessman offers him money to carry out a shocking request, Fletch’s curiosity turns into a full-blown investigation filled with twists, disguises, and plenty of sarcasm. Amanda and Missy break down the film scene by scene, revisiting the clever dialogue, the parade of hilarious alter egos, and the mystery that keeps unfolding as Fletch digs deeper into a story that’s far from what it first appears to be. Along the way, they explore why Chevy Chase’s performance became iconic and how Fletch carved out its place as one of the most memorable comedies of the 80s. Whether you remember the disguises, the one-liners, or the surprising turns in the investigation, this episode is packed with fascinating facts, nostalgic moments, and the kind of classic 80s humor Reel fans love to revisit.

    The Secret of My Success

    Can ambition, a little charm, and a whole lot of hustle really fast-track someone to the top? In this episode, Amanda Stephens and Missy Washam rewind the 1987 comedy The Secret of My Success, the fast-paced corporate classic that captured the go-go spirit of the 80s. Starring Michael J. Fox, alongside Helen Slater and Richard Jordan, the film follows a recent Kansas State graduate who heads to New York City determined to make it big. When his dream job doesn’t exactly pan out, he takes matters into his own hands… and accidentally creates a double life inside a major corporation. Amanda and Missy break down the whirlwind plot, the mistaken identities, the boardroom blunders, and the romance that complicates everything. They explore how this film reflects the big-business energy of the 80s, the era of shoulder pads and skyscraper dreams, and why Michael J. Fox’s quick wit and undeniable charisma carry the movie from start to finish. From mailroom mix-ups to executive-level maneuvering, The Secret of My Success blends comedy and ambition in a way that defined a generation of “work hard, dream big” storytelling. Whether you watched it on VHS back in the day or are revisiting it now, this episode is packed with fun facts, nostalgic moments, and all the Reel Sisters commentary Reel fans love.
