Nic Cage and Cher fall in love, or maybe just have sex during a full moon. Either way we talk with outrageous Italian accents about a movie that all ladies seem to like - even though it's all about people cheating on each other. Listen while enjoying a nice pasta and barolo.
Join us for this special live episode about a true classic...or don't, the audio is pretty rough. We talk Andre the Giant, epic sword fights, and decide once and for all what is the most romantic film of all time.
Hooray it's another dancing movie. Kevin Bacon AND Kenny Loggins! What could go wrong. Ema and the boys are back from doing live shows to get real drunk and tell you exactly what could, and did, go wrong.
This week we take a look at the surprisingly good biopic about the life of Loretta Lynn. Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones star in the 1980 classic that earned 7 Oscar nominations. We get super excited to talk in hillbilly accents and to discuss a time in which country music was good.
Megastar Eddie Murphy in the 1986 action-comedy that is in every way a worse version of 1986's "Big Trouble in Little China". But you do get a snake lady, a bunch of weird hats, Charles Dance as a demon man, and a bad fight scene to 1980's hair metal power house Ratt. Also fan favorite Ema is back.
In 1983 nuclear war was narrowly avoided both because of and thanks to one Matthew Broderick. Cody rejoins us as we discuss the classic film as well as fear of progress, faking orgasms, and how their is no difference between Josephs and Joshuas.
It's Tom Cruise's 3rd appearance on the countdown but this time...well it's not great. We talk bar etiquette, script doctoring, and a disturbing lack of nudity.
We talk about a true comedy classic this week starring the incredible Leslie Nielsen. So, obviously, we spend a lot of time talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also O.J.'s murder trial, music in comedies, Mel Brooks, and plastic surgery.
Things discussed in this episode: Ema has never seen a Star Trek thing before. We have no idea what Kwanzaa is about. Ema hates Chris Pine. What happens to you after you die. And, of course, 1986's "Transformers: The Movie".
