Pull up a seat and ditch your bibs behind as co-hosts Dino and Mike rewind back to the era of big hair and analog enjoyment in I Eat Movies #27: Table Scraps - 1980s. Joined by their very special guest, Brian Saur of the Pure Cinema Podcast, the trio break down the decadent decade by early, mid and late as they examine three deeper cuts. Driving a cab proves more dangerous than a cabbie imagined when he's framed for the murder of the man who killed his wife in the Fun City-set Hit and Run (1982). Cycling on, Kevin Bacon loses it all as a hotshot stockbroker only to feel alive again when he becomes a fast-moving bike messenger in Quicksilver (1986). Cited by Bacon himself as the lowest point of his career, the fellas discuss this fad movie that attempted to capture the same charm as Footloose with a supporting cast that includes Larry Fishburne (Boyz N the Hood), Jamie Gertz (Less Than Zero), David Harris (The Warriors) and Louie Anderson (Coming to America). Lastly, the buddy-dynamic is put to the test when Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys) and Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba) team up to take down a crime ring with a dirty cop in their pocket and recover a stolen heirloom belonging to a Native American tribe. Helmed by the underrated Jack Sholder (The Hidden), wild car chases and hair salon shootouts light up the screen in this pairing of opposites so popular throughout the era. Contrary to our title, there's plenty of meat on the bones of each of our selections to make I Eat Movies #27: Table Scraps - 1980s a meal worthy of filling you up!

Marking a mini-milestone, cohosts Dino and Mike tear their hearts out in I Eat Movies #25: Heartbreakers (1984). Joined by their very first special guest, Jonathan Hertzberg of Fun City Editions, the trio discuss at length writer/director Bobby Roth's early beginnings with a quartet of independent dramas before ascending to a storied career in both film and television. Highlighting Fun City Editions' latest release and its themes of friendship, male insecurity, romance and communication, the fellas examine this proto-bromance that features universally solid turns from the likes of Peter Coyote (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), Nick Mancuso (Tell Me That You Love Me), Carol Wayne (Surf II) and more. In addition, we dissect the electric sounds of Tangerine Dream's remarkable score and Michael Ballhaus' (After Hours) beautiful photography in this deeply layered gem not seen on home video since the VHS era and now resurrected for the first time in HD and loaded with bonus features!

After going down with Igby, Mike repays the favor this season in I Eat Movies #21: Dino's First Time - Jack the Bear (1993). A charming coming of age oddity that stars Danny DeVito giving one of his most vulnerable performances as a single father raising two sons following the death of their mother, cohosts Mike and Dino explore The Wonder Years effect of nostalgia and voiceover narration in similar films of this era as well as the less than tidy production design of these features that offer a much under-appreciated warmth to their proceedings. Join us as we explore monsters, real and imagined, as well as themes of loss and growing up all while Mike nurses a migraine in I Eat Movies #21: Dino's First Time - Jack the Bear (1993)!

Exchanging adults for adolescents, Mike and Dino explore the suburbs and cityscapes of youth in I Eat Movies #20: In No Sense - Rich Kids (1979) / Kenny & Company (1976). Produced by Robert Altman and, in a rare move, headlined by its young newcomers, Rich Kids finds two friends bonding over the shattered realities of their broken homes. Naturalistic and as humorous as it can be heavy, cohosts Dino and Mike rave about Terry Kiser's groovy man cave, the flawlessness of John Lithgow and some very questionable pizza. Later, Don Coscarelli's most personal film rushes over us with waves of nostalgia that recalls simpler times. Dreamlike, sweet and funny as hell, Mike also paints a frightening (and in retrospect, hilarious) portrait of a ding-donging nightmare come true from his younger years. A parent's permission isn't required for listening but, maybe do it anyways for old time sake's as you tune into I Eat Movies #20: In No Sense - Rich Kids (1979) / Kenny & Company (1976). And no, this was not recorded in Westport!

Another actor spotlight is upon us in I Eat Movies #19: Overlooked Bernie Casey - Maurie (1973) / Hit Man (1972) where we celebrate the highly accomplished and underrated athlete turned thespian. After eight successful seasons in the NFL, Bernie Casey set his sights on Hollywood with one memorable turn after another, mostly in supporting parts with the rare lead as evident in this week's selections. In charting Casey's trajectory, Mike and Dino discuss the 1970s as a boom for athletes, specifically African-American males, transitioning into the movies with much success as well as Casey's roles in Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) that kicked his career off before his breakout roles as a flashy vengeance seeker and his highly understated and emotive turn as a paralyzed basketball player that demonstrated Casey's wide range of talent. Plus, Bernie's butt (and maybe a testicle), an up and coming starlet known as Pamela Grier, the modest but memorable output of George Armitage and the underrated productions of Gene Corman are all covered in this double-stuffed serving of I Eat Movies #19: Overlooked Bernie Casey!
