Have we really already finished two out of the ten years of this project? Yes. Yes, we have. And as a reward, it's time for 1982, one of the biggest, weirdest, and most eclectic years of the decade.

We've got a fistful of horror films to kick things off, including the return of the Dainty Ape himself in VENOM, and we've got a couple of early documentaries from Nick Broomfield and Errol Morris, two of the best-known documentarians of all time. We've also got one of the best films ever made about divorce, an odd little Jack Nicholson thriller, and we are pleased to finally get a chance to talk about VICE SQUAD. Neon slime! Ramrod, baby! Let's do this thing as we kick the year off right!
