“Fine. I'm gone. It's done. And you can go back to doing whatever you want to do, with whoever you want to do it, and whatever orifice you want to do it in.”
This episode we go to a film that neither of us had ever seen as we head to Chicago in 1986 for About Last Night… starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore who look just as good today as they did nearly 40 years ago.
So, why not head down to Mothers Bar and see what we think about this film based on a David Mamet play from the 70’s.

So, go up to the attic, open up your podcasting player of choice and join us as we delve into… The NeverEnding Story Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

“There's something out there. That... that witch in the cellar is only part of it. It lives... out in those woods, in the dark... something... something that's come back from the dead.”
Happy Halloween!
This episode we are getting “groovy” with Ash in Evil Dead 2. This bonkers Sam Rami film from 1987 has an amazing cult following but will it have two more by the end of the episode?
So let's all sit back and celebrate the spookiest night of the year with this madcap film and a well earned beverage of your choice.

“I... I swallowed my chewing tobacco.”
As we approach halloween we decided to take a look at 1986’s Critters. This film with numerous Gremlins comparisons terrorised one of us when watching it on video back in the day but is it as scary now or just plain goofy.
Clocking in at under 90 minutes how much damage can these little terrors from outer space do? Take a listen to hear what we thought.

“Why don't we go lay on the bed and I'll fill you in?”
This film was suggested to us by a long time listener and we have finally got round to it after our sequels tour.
So, this episode we get to both watch an 80’s film that neither of us have seen before with 1985’s Fletch. This Chevy Chase film has its fair share of fans but will it make two new ones? Have a listen and find out.

"No, I know; you did send me back to the future. But I'm back - I'm back from the future."
This episode we return to a set of films that we hold dear, the Back to the Future Trilogy. Once again we find ourselves in Hill Valley in a multitude of time periods with good old Marty and Doc.
The first instalment was a very high score from both of us and you can find that in the back catalogue under episode 88.
Will this film be as beloved as the first in our opinions or should it be ditched in a back alley like Jennifer was? Put down Wild Gunman, grab a Pepsi Perfect and find out.

"I'm surprised you haven't heard of me, I got a bad reputation, like sometimes I just go nuts like now ha ha!"
This week we take a jaunt to 1989 to see what trouble Riggs and Murtaugh are going to get themselves into. As a bonus, in this smash sequel they are joined by the ever brilliant Joe Pesci who lets us know what they do to you at the drive through, okay?
So get yourself a cold drink as the heat intensifies in this blockbuster from the last year of the 80s.

“I've always believed that the mind is the best weapon.”
This episode we go back to the world of Rambo to see what happens next. Is this as good as the first film and will we enjoy it as much? To hear our thoughts on First Blood just search for episode 68.
So grab a beer and join us as we travel back to 1985 to have a look at Rambo: First Blood Part 2.

“You know... When MY father died, I spent a lot of time thinking I hadn't been such a great son. It seemed to me like I could have listened a little more, spent a little more time with him together... I felt so guilty, you know, like he did everything for me and I didn't do anything for him. Then one day I realized... that I did the greatest thing I ever did for him before he died: I was there with him... and I held his hand... and said goodbye.”
This week we go back to visit Daniel and Miyagi as we find out more about the cloud in which Miyagi left home all those years ago. These films hold a dear place for so many people and we had to go back and see what has become of these characters. Is this film better than the first one?

“This is it, Jennifer: your big break in TV.”
This week we return to Elm Street for the third installment of the long running horror franchise and watch Freddy spout one-liners as he kills some more unfortunate victims.
Frequent listeners will spot that we haven’t covered the second film yet but there is plenty of time for that. If you want to hear what we thought of the first film then you can go all the way back to episode 18 to find it.
