Dissecting The 80s

The Month of John concludes with Johnny Handsome, a bizarre Walter Hill directed, Mickey Rourke star vehicle where he gets a new face!

What on earth is this movie? Is Lance Henriksen the king of scuzzy villains? Did he live in New Orleans for like a decade for all these scuzzy NoLa villain turns? Plus, Mickey Rourke is a babe.

All this and more!

It's our latest theme month, the month of John, and we're kicking off with the delightful spoof: Johnny Dangerously!

Amy Heckerling's three classics, spoofing a dead genre, Disney rides teaching us about gangster films, Keaton absolutely killing it, and some real live-action cartoon zaniness!

All this and more!

It's the conclusion of I-May-Ginary Friends Month, easily the worst theme month in the history of this podcast!

We're visiting with Drop Dead Fred and asking a lot of questions, like: WHO IS THIS MOVIE FOR?! WHY ARE IMAGINARY FRIENDS SUCH ASSHOLES? Why is Carrie Fisher so chill about this enormous tragedy that happens!? What's Phoebe Cates arc supposed to be?!

All this and more!

Boy oh boy, how on earth did I watch this SO much as a kid?

It's a truly wretched Howie Mandel feature, Little Monsters! Why are the monsters so scary? Why is the underworld lit through 3D glasses? How bad are the Savage bros?

All this and more!

It’s the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!

We're watching a '90s movie about to be remade: Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead! No, not Tyra Banks and Nicole Ritchie, it's Christina Applegate and scream queen Danielle Harris!

What are the rules of this movie? How is she not getting caught? What's up with her brother's flip flopping? Is this the best gravestone gag of all time?

All this and more!

It's the not-sweaty-at-all Andrew Programs the Show in the Month of April: APTSITMOA!

We're starting with an underseen slasher in Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker.

Is hiring Jan De Bont for one scene the greatest idea for production value ever conceived? How buckwild is this performance from Susan Tyrell?! All this and more!

Russel-Mania 2: Oops no Carpenters ends with Captain Ron, a weird boating movie new to both of us!

 

Would this be better with Kurt as the Family Man role? Why isn't this just Summer Rental? Did Kurt forget he wasn't playing Snake Plissken? (Does Plissken have two consecutive Ss because his first name is snake?) All this and more!

Hey folks - we're going to be a few days late for the normally scheduled episode from today (should be up Thursday!) so we wanted to post this to tide you over a few days.

Something went awry with the time circuits on this fine Leap Day and we've jumped to the past - well we always do that, but a DIFFERENT past!

It's the disaster-piece: The Poseidon Adventure! How great are these sets? Is this movie one of the all-time sweatiest? How lovely is Shelley Winters? Plus, a cavalcade of character actors!

All this and more!
