Old Roommates

The 1987 thriller that had everything and the kitchen sink (zing!), Fatal Attraction raised the bar on sexy thrillers. Michael Douglas, Glenn Close and Anne Archer gave their blood, sweat and tears, all earning Oscar nominations. Is it as crazy as we remember? Old Roommates Brian & Christina revisit the boiled bunny, elevator episode, and the brutal bloodbath. They won’t be ignored, Dan.

Who knew Reese’s Pieces would be the bond between humans and aliens? Yes, ET The Extra Terrestrial taught us a lot about love, loss and friendship back in 1982. But, over 35 years later, does the Steven Spielberg classic still earn all the tears, or just jerk them? Old Roommates, Brian Masefield and Christina Walsh, turn on their ‘heartlights’ and do a shallow dive into the beloved blockbuster.

Fight For Your Right to Party and We're Not Gonna Take it
80s music videos were rebellious. “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party!)” by The Beastie
Boys dared to challenge the evil establishment of…parents. “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by
Twister Sister put bad dads in the spotlight…only after throwing them out the window. Does
the belligerence hold up? Who was really at fault? And, is there such a thing as too much pie?

He’s baaaaaack. And with a special guest! Chris Bragel from the podcast Alien Zoo joins Old
Roommates to revisit the original 1978 film Halloween, which introduced the
world to Michael Myers. Is the movie as scary as they remember? How good is Jamie Lee Curtis in her first film role? And, does Michael have a knack for interior design? Listen to this.

Peg, Al, Kelly & Bud Bundy were the “anti-Cosbys” back in ’87. Crass, dismissive, and deeply unethical, the show’s brand of comedy seemed ahead of its time. Now, decades later, have we caught up? Are the laughs still shock based, or are we really laughing at all? Join Old Roommates, Brian Masefield and Christina Walsh, as they revisit the full first season of Married with Children.

Love is a Battlefield and Papa Don't Preach.
You asked for it. The Old Roommates are now watching music videos, and they’re starting with
two five-minute masterpieces. Pat Benatar’s Love Is A Battlefield had everything: slow dancing,
runaways, and shoulder shimmies. Madonna’s Papa Don’t Preach was a brazen, pro-baby dance
ballad (if ever such a thing existed). Did the videos do our divas justice? And are these 80s
videos as memorable as the music? Brian & Christina revisit. Follow Old Roommates on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram @OldRoommates, and email us at [email protected]. And, of course, rate, review and subscribe on iTunes, Spotify & wherever you listen to podcasts.

The movie that made everyone want a giant piano. The late-great Penny Marshall directed a
variety of worlds for 1988’s Big. From the rough spots of Manhattan to the sharp edges of the
marketing world, the Tom Hanks fantasy took audiences on a 95-minute joyride. But 31 years
later, has the movie aged faster than Josh Baskin? Join Old Roommates as they revisit the
comedy classic. Listen to this. Follow Old Roommates on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram @OldRoommates, and email us at [email protected]. And, of course, rate, review and subscribe on iTunes, Spotify & wherever you listen to podcasts.

What were they thinking? We don’t mean the sex-obsessed camp counselors in this classic 1980 horror flick…we mean our hosts. Yes, Old Roommates Brian Masefield & Christina Walsh go seriously off-brand as they revisit the original pre-Jason Voorhees bloodbath, Friday the 13th.

Who could forget a movie like Overboard? (Too soon?) The 1987 Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell comedy was “a favorite” of Christina’s then, but how about now? And, what did Brian do to his cuticles?

Norm! Revisiting one of the most beloved tv shows of all time raised some questions. Did Diane Chambers really have so few job prospects? Should Carla have been fired? Beer was only a dollar? Old Roommates Brian Masefield & Christina Walsh answer these questions and more as they revisit the classic 80’s sitcom Cheers, starring Ted Danson and Shelley Long. Listen to this.
