"Money won is twice as sweet as money earned"

On this episode of our limited series "1986," we welcome a friend of the show "Def Dave" to join us in the pool hall to discuss "The Color of Money."

We run the table on this long-awaited follow up to the 1961 Paul Newman classic "The Hustler" and talk about the game, the hustle, the players, and the soundtrack.

James Cameron is the most innovative filmmakers of our time. From "The Terminator" to "Avatar," he has been responsible for some of the biggest blockbusters over the past few decades.
How did he get his start? While it's not surprising it was a film on the water, what might be is that it was "Piranha II: The Spawning!" Promoted from special effects coordinator to director during the production, we take a look at the bizarre debut of Cameron, as we anticipate seeing "Avatar: The Way of Water" this weekend.

It's that time of year again, when we pile onto the couch for those wonderful Christmas films that warm you up; classics like "The Night the Reindeer Died" with Lee Majors!

Okay, so maybe we can't (or shouldn't want to) watch that one, but we've saved you a spot to give our season one finale another listen. Join us for a talk about Richard Donner's "Scrooged!"

Cameron Crowe's movies tend to include great characters and great music. From "Say Anything" to "Almost Famous," we identity with these characters because we are them.

In his 1992 romantic comedy "Singles," he examines the lives of a group of twenty somethings navigating the highs and lows of dating during the emerging grunge music scene in Seattle.

"You can't make me quit, EVER!"

Dayton Johnson, from the Docking Bay 77 podcast, is back in the huddle for our limited series "1986" to discuss the coming-of-age dramedy "Lucas."

We talk Haim, the feature film debuts of several stars, and build the case for Charlie Sheen being the MVP of 1986 movies. All this, and an in-depth analysis of the absurd "Hail Mary" play that is the climactic moment of the film.

In just a few short years, Ryan Coogler has reinvigorated the "Rocky" franchise with the compelling story of Adonis Creed in "Creed," and taken us to the advanced civilization of Wakanda to introduce "Black Panther" to the MCU.
It is his directorial debut, however, that offers his most powerful film to date. "Fruitvale Station" is the true story of Oscar Grant's last day, as he navigates through the joys and hardships of family, friendships, and responsibilities before an altercation with police ends tragically.

"Who will rule the future?"

That's what we plan to find out as our limited "1986" series meets up with Tessa and Nicole from the Doom Generation Podcast to talk about "Solarbabies!"

What is Bohdai? Where did all these orphans come from, and why is Jamie Gertz the only female prisoner? We make comparisons to "Tank Girl" and the "Mad Max" films, question the idea of programming murderous robots to enjoy what they do, and ask why make these kids play skateball? All this, and Jason Patrick's thighs, on this collaboration between A Film By... and Doom Generation!
