Speakeasily vs. the '80s

Bonnie Bloomgarden of the mystical rock band Death Valley Girls joins us for a very special episode of Speakeasily Vs. The '80s. Together we somewhat bravely tackle the controversial and stylized movie about teen murder, disaffected stoners, and the dark morality of peer pressure – 1986's River's Edge. There's also Goth talk, Little White Doggie talk, Occult vs Positive Thinking talk, and so much more.

Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes drag performer, cosplayer, cat costumer, and Sacred Silversexual Annalyn Bond for a deep dive into the 1987 coked-out classic Hard Ticket To Hawaii. This movie is where dad jokes meet sexual harassment. It really has everything: exploding blowup dolls, a frisbee death scene, at least three Playboy Playmates, karate, umbrella drinks…it's the best fantasy a 10-year-old boy could ever have.

It's end-times fun-times as Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes musician, composer, DJ, and synth master Gregg Foreman (aka Mr. Pharmacist) for an earth-shattering discussion of Night of the Comet (1984). What better time than the dystopian present to immerse ourselves in this apocalyptic teen comedy classic. This movie has everything: zombies, guns, malls, big hair, the end of the world, and chicks kicking ass.

Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes creator of the interactive Listography books and pioneering former owner of Oakland's Eli's Mile High Club, Lisa Nola, and her partner James Spooner who directed the 2003 documentary AfroPunk, co-founded the AfroPunk Festival, and works as a cartoonist and tattoo artist in Los Angeles! Together we dive headfirst into the totally tripendicular film Valley Girl (1983). Can the preppy daughter of hippies and a "punk hunk" find love somewhere between Hollywood and the Valley? Only a romantic montage set to Modern English can tell.

Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes comics industry luminary and C.H.U.D.thusiast Jann Jones (AKA Pickles Kintaro) to discuss the great Regan-era tale of government environmental conspiracy. C.H.U.D. – it's an acronym that has become a noun, a verb, an adjective, and even a dance, but we dive deep into its underground origins in the hellacious New York City of 1984. Along the way, we also get into gender equality and accountability in comics, poodle hair and dirty Keds, Childlike Humanoid Urban Muchachos, and possibly the worst boyfriend in cinema history. Get ready to C.H.U.D.easily!

Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes Bay Area art curator, artist, Dj, actor, activist, and overall '80s pop culture nerd Jeff Bostic to discuss the 1985 feel-good suicide classic Better Off Dead! From dare-devil skiing to guitar-playing hamburgers to psychotic paperboys, this one has it all. The first film in the Savage Steve Holland teen trilogy really knows how to put its testicles all over you and we're about to learn a little too much about one of the featured actors.

Check out Jeff Bostic's new art happening, Metronome: Bay Area Abstract Art Show, 9/24/20:

Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes two titans of podcasting – Mogwai Minute's Neil Brown and Bat Minute's Niall McGowan – to vibe out with us for the 1988 romantic occult comedy VIBES. Cindi Lauper, Jeff Goldblum, and Peter Faulk make up the wackiest and sexiest version of the Three Stooges since Moe Howard gave up mini-skirts.

Speakeasily Vs. The '80s welcomes, all the way from Liverpool, fashion photographer/blogger Lal Gall and Jonfen Parker, the host of podcasts Bat Minute and Hedwig: Inch by Angry Inch, for a close encounter with Troll-kind. Yes, a film that's so good it doesn't need a Troll 1 – we're talkin' 'bout Troll 2! Besides being blatant anti-vegetarian propaganda, this is a cautionary tale of what happens when you let Italians go to Utah.
