Retro Life 4 You

Per IMDB: Bandit and Cledus are two truck-driving southerners who accept a dare from big-shots Big and Little Enos to pick up a truckload of beer from Texas and return it to them within a specified amount of time. Picking it up is simple enough, but as they are leaving Texas, Bandit unwittingly picks up Carrie, a hitchhiking runaway bride who just left her groom at the altar--her groom being Junior, the son of Buford T. Justice. And when Buford and Junior discover what has happened, they go on a "high-speed pursuit" across the Southeast to catch The Bandit.

I've always loved this movie and thought it was so funny and wanted to do an episode on it and that is exactly what we did today! So let's put that hammer down and get this episode a truckin... cause they're about to do what they say can't be done

in 1987, producers Richard Donner, Jennie Lew & Joel Silver brought to the big screen a great cast of actors & actresses to give us the spectacular movie called Lethal Weapon. Richard Donner directed and Shane Black & Jeffrey Boam wrote it. Mel Gibson stars along side of Danny Glover as a cop on a suicidal edge since losing his wife & becoming partner to Detective Murtaugh (Danny Glover). They stumble upon a huge drug dealing operation while trying to help one of Murtaugh's old war buddies. The further the case goes along the closer they become as partners and eventually just like family. This set off a franchise of movies and a TV show years after the movies started. Personally, it's on of my favorite Mel Gibson films, what are yours? Be sure to sign up for the newsletter/notifications of new podcasts and any news or extra content we publish.

In 1998 we were treated to what a lot or Marvel fans consider to be the first real Marvel movie in Blade. Vampire Killer referred to as the Day Walker because he can be in sunlight. He has all of their strengths but non of their weaknesses. With the help of Abraham Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) Blade (Wesley Snipes) sets out to destroy all vampires he crosses paths with.

My favorite version of the Batman franchise has always been the original with Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Nicholson played an excellent Joker that is funny yet can show just how psycho he can be and to me Keaton just always made the best Batman. So if you are a fan of comic books and love Batman (where does he get those wonderful toys?) then I hope you enjoy the show.

Arnold has many great action flicks over his career but in the 80's one of them stands out among them all and that is Commando. I think there are more one liners in this movie then most of his put together. It has a great cast in it and the action is spot on as only Arnold can bring it. The Stallone/ Arnold rivalry was big in the 80's and I believe this was Arnold's version or answer to Rambo. Who do you think made the better character?? Arnold as John Matrix or Stallone as John Rambo?

One of my favorites growing up in the 80's was Red Dawn. It told the story of a planned Russian invasion teaming with Nicaragua & Cuba to take over part of America and bring war to our soil. A small group of high school teens get away and run to the mountains where they learn to fight back and help in the war efforts to take back our country. Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Grey, Powers Boothe and more star in this great movie. I hope you are a fan of it as well and if you haven't seen it yet then please do! Enjoy the podcast episode!

Today on the podcast I am joined by Timmy from the backtothe1980z Instagram page as we talk about the greatest adventure movie of our youth. We are talking no less then the 1985 Richard Donner film The Goonies! I have always loved this movie and always wished that I had been able to have an adventure like they did. Great adventure, great music and great fun not to mention a great cast. I hope this was one of your favorites as well, leave me a comment on the poll and question this week which is based on The Goonies and if you get a moment, go leave a quick review and rating for the show at iTunes and Spotify.

Growing up in the 80's meant that I was privy to all the greatest TV shows, movies, music and sports. And yes, I am bias towards this time because it's my childhood and that's what we love to talk about here are things from our childhood. I always loved sci-fi as a kid watching Star Wars, Star Trek, Buck Rogers of The 25th Century & Battlestar Galactica. Then, in 1984, Director Nick Castle and writer Jonathan R. Betuel brought us a movie called The Last Starfighter starring Lance Guest as Alex Rogan and Catherine Mary Stewart as Maggie Gordon. This movie has always been my top 10 80's movies and arguably my top 5 and recently I was able to talk with them both about the movie on my podcast. This was practically a dream come true and they were both such nice people and I hope to talk with them again on another day about some of their other projects.
