Have we really already finished two out of the ten years of this project? Yes. Yes, we have. And as a reward, it's time for 1982, one of the biggest, weirdest, and most eclectic years of the decade.

We've got a fistful of horror films to kick things off, including the return of the Dainty Ape himself in VENOM, and we've got a couple of early documentaries from Nick Broomfield and Errol Morris, two of the best-known documentarians of all time. We've also got one of the best films ever made about divorce, an odd little Jack Nicholson thriller, and we are pleased to finally get a chance to talk about VICE SQUAD. Neon slime! Ramrod, baby! Let's do this thing as we kick the year off right!

An absolute legend passes, and two of his biggest fans spend an entire bonus episode speaking on the man's drive, his genius, his talent, his work, and the way that work affected not just them, but multiple generations of filmgoers, and filmmakers.

Wow! We've made it to the end of our second year of the ten-year project, and we're celebrating with another best of episode. While Scott and Drew ended up agreeing completely on their number one film, they surprise each other throughout with their choices, and the results highlight just what a diverse and strange year of movies 1981 was.

There's little doubt we'll be talking about Indiana Jones, but we'll also be talking about Albert Brooks, two werewolf movies, throwbacks to film noir and movie musicals, as well as commies and gamblers and time-traveling little people, oh my! Help us wrap up 1981 so we can finally kick off the year many of you have been waiting for, as '80S ALL OVER continues!

You got questions? '80s All Over has answers. The first in a series of episodes where the big ol' mailbag gets dumped over onto Scott and Drew's desks, and they try to answer what they can, as well as they can, before time is up. And the while the questions might not be all that out there, the places this episode winds up are... very interesting, to say the least.

What?! We finished another year?! That's amazing! And what a line-up to feature in our final month of 1981.

Jane Fonda and Kris Kristofferson flirt and try to keep the entire world economy from going belly-up, Richard Dreyfuss argues for his right to die, and Chevy Chase gets supernatural powers from magic cocaine. Wait, that can't be right, can it? You want to see why Andy Kaufman didn't have much of a film career? You want to see another Jane Fonda film? Wait: what is it with you and Jane Fonda? Should we be worried?

We've got Fred Astaire in his weirdest role ever, and we've got Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in probably the most depressing duet of their long collaboration. But, hey, we've also got Warren Beatty's REDS, so it's all good. Let's do this thing, kids! Bye, 1981! See you soon, 1982!

There have been storytellers as special guests on '80s All Over before, but there are storytellers and then there's writer/director Steven E. De Souza, who hits the ground running in this conversation with Drew and Scott, and literally never stops, starting from day -1 of his career and continuing through some jaw-dropping anecdotes starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joel Silver, Lawrence Gordon, Walter Hill, John McTiernan, and more. Pull up a seat and be regaled by true tales from a key architect of some of the '80s most influential action classics.

As the year winds down, we hit a strange lull. There are definitely some highlights like Terry Gilliam's amazing TIME BANDITS, but we've got some weird jailbait fantasies by filmmakers who should know better, a not-really-based-on-a-true-story love-on-the-run comedy with some chaaaaaaaaaarming actors, a compilation of great animation surrounded by some decidedly not great animation, a heartbroken work by a director in decline, and an amazing thriller gem from Down Under.

Only two more two go after this, and we'll be done with two of the ten years of this project! That's insane! What more incentive do you need? Hurry up and listen, because it's November of 1981!

October of 1981 may be one of the most jam-packed months we've ever done, and the types of movies we're discussing are all over the place.

We've got a fistful of grimy little horror films like Just Before Dawn, The Pit, and Galaxy of Terror, as well as high-end art-house releases like My Dinner With Andre and The French Lieutenant's Woman. Did you know there was a sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Well, we're going to discuss it!

We'll discuss the two different Burt Reynolds personas, and we're going to make some sure-to-be-controversial comments about Halloween II. Peter Falk and women wrestlers, Bruce Dern needling Maude Adams, and the final film of the legendary George Cukor... all that and more!

The elements of the show start to lock into place, albeit in forms still not quite ironed out all the way—and wouldn't be until around the fourth or fifth episode of the show proper. But you can already tell that '80s All Over was well on its way, despite the way overlong intro and the not-so-quality sound quality. It certainly helped that August of 1979 provided Scott and Drew with a ton of great topics to touch on, including Apocalypse Now, The Amityville Horror, and the comic majesty of one Biggus Dickus.

We've got socially conscious comedies that are just barely conscious, like SO FINE and CARBON COPY, as well as a slew of wacko horror films like HOME SWEET HOME and DON'T GO IN THE WOODS, and we've got Robert Duvall and Robert De Niro as brothers tangled up in the Black Dahlia case in '40s Los Angeles.

Walter Hill, young Rachel Ward, a tame John Belushi, a trio of very different movie mothers, and one of the best scores of the '80s. All of this, and we get to determine if Mel Gibson did or didn't in TIM? It must be September 1981.
