Season 4.0 comes to a close with the comedic murder mystery, Clue! We discuss how difficult it was to write a screenplay that worked, the botched theatrical roll-out, and how it became a cult classic for our specific generation.

What would you do if you suddenly became a werewolf in the middle of your high school years? Become a basketball star, obviously. We dive into Michael J Fox's other 1985 movie, Teen Wolf.

We discuss Paul Reubens pop culture breakthrough and Tim Burton's directorial debut, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Join us on a trip to the Alamo to save one beloved bike while we discuss Reubens' creation of Pee-Wee Herman, all the weird supporting characters he meets along the way, and maybe some references to European art house cinema.

A nerd double feature! 1985 brought us two movies featuring teens performing great feats of science, released just 5 days apart. In this episode we look back at both Weird Science and Real Genius.

Where we're going we don't need roads. Join us on a trip back to the future, where we discuss the many failed attempts to get this movie green-lit, the failed original Marty McFly, and the most successful movie of 1985.

Join us for a deep dive into St. Elmo's Fire and the creation of the Brat Pack, which became a pop culture phenomenon alongside its release. The characters are yuppies in DC, the actors are brats running wild in LA, and we're here to detail all of it.

In this episode we're traveling back to Oz, but not in a sequel type way, more in a book series adaptation way. Trust us. Or don't, because none of this makes sense anyway. Join us for a discussion of Walter Murch's first and last foray into directing, starring baby Fairuza Balk and a whole lot of weirdos.

We smell ice cream! Join us for our second Richard Donner movie in a row, our millionth Steven Spielberg appearance, and a discussion full of booty traps, truffle shuffling, and opera-singing criminals

Hawk by day, wolf by night, forever together, eternally apart. In this episode we're discussing the Richard Donner fantasy movie, Ladyhawke. Enjoy our horrific French pronunciations and the most 80s of 80s soundtracks while we discuss the actual historical figure that inspired Philippe "The Mouse" Gaston, nonsensical side characters, and the real-life love story that resulted from the making of Ladyhawke.

Welcome to season 4, all about movies that turned 40 in 1985, the year we also hit that milestone. We're kicking it off with the John Hughes classic, The Breakfast Club. Both the budget and the expectations were low, but here we are 40 years later discussing whether we're a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal.
