80s Action Films – Big Muscles, Bigger Explosions


Listen Later

This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we’re heading back to the 1980s — a time when action heroes had biceps bigger than their dialogue, explosions were mandatory, and nobody ever reloaded their gun.


We’re diving into the golden age of action films to chat about:

  • The biggest blockbuster hits of the decade
  • Cult classics that flew under the radar
  • The different sub-genres that defined 80s action cinema
  • And the moments that made us want to roundhouse kick our bedroom doors off the hinges


From sci-fi action to fantasy adventures, buddy cop chaos to one-man-army carnage — this was the decade that set the blueprint for modern action films as we know them. So grab your bandana, oil up your pecs, and join us for a nostalgic deep dive into the loudest decade in cinema history 🎙️
