Janey : Do you have a date or something?
Lynne : No I wish, I just know I must be horny.
And there we go, folks. There. We. Go. It's horrible. And it's horribly fantastic. And we, as pop culture enthusiasts, can hold both of those truths in our hands at the same time. Now on with the show!

Roger Ebert called this one of the best movies of 1985. He was wrong, but this movie is incredibly rewatchable. So you should...you know...rewatch it. But you should listen to this podcast first.

Bold statement here - 1985 may be one of the great years of film ever. I said what I said, and I’m going to prove it to you the rest of this year. So if you would be so kind, take a listen to this here podcast. Is it high art? No. Do I know what I’m talking about? No. Do I have strong opinions about ridiculous things? Yes. This is the podcast for you if you just like to hear someone share enthusiastically about their passion, and my hope is that I can may lure you into the conversation too.
You can listen here or to any number of podcast apps like Apple Podcasts or Spotify or iHeart Radio or Overcast. Wherever is fine. I’m not picky! And then stop by my social media and let me know what you thought of the conversation or the movie or what I should watch next. I’d love your input!

This past February I built an entire program for adult women around 90s teen heartthrobs. It was called "Galentines: Tiger Beat Edition" and we talked our favorite actors of the 90s at a local pub, made classic 90s hairbows, played MASH, and drank beer. It was a great night. And it all started when I saw a poster of Devon Sawa in Casper.
On this Halloween, we're keeping that same conversation with the not-so-spooky favorite from 1995.

A re-watch that was different than I expected. "We're men / We're men in tights / We roam around the forest looking for fights / We're men / We're men in tights / We rob from the rich and give to the poor / That's right!"

The Rat Pack meets the Robin Hood legend, and I 1) show my full weirdness and 2) gush unendingly over Dean Martin. It's okay. Give it a chance.

Another objectively bad, subjectively AMAZING movie. "Accent" and all. But, of course, Alan Rickman. Always.

"Forget for this moment the smog and the cars and the restaurant and the skating and remember only this. A kiss may not be the truth, but it is what we wish were true."
A ramble-y conversation in which I can't articulate why I love this movie as much as I do. You should watch and then listen and then help me articulate.
