• 1:57
  Speaker 1: so this episode is the kick off to season four.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Happy fourth anniversary.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It would technically be our third anniversary because you don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: count the You don't count the day you got married
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: as your first anniversary. You count the day you got married,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and then a year later that's your first anniversary, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: then another year later that's your second anniversary, and then
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: another year later, which is where we're at, is your

  Speaker 1: third anniversary?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, is this our third or our fourth anniversary?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: This is our third anniversary, but the beginning of our
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: fourth year?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Then why did you tell me we've been doing this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: for four years? I didn't.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I said, this is doing it for three. No, I said,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this is the beginning of our fourth year.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Well, we may not make it to five.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we may not make it through this episode.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Do you know what the traditional theme of a third
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: anniversary present is because you know each anniversary has a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: traditional theme.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, third anniversary chopsticks, leather, leather, what about lace? No lace,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: just leather. So I have to know what are you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: going to get me. I'm gonna give you my wallet
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like I've done since the beginning of our marriage.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: My good job, good job, I've got something I need
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to talk to you about. Oh boy, it's hotter than
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: hades here in the atl.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad when I went out today. Actually
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: was it? Did it get bad in the afternoon.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know where you're living, but where
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I'm living where on the surface of the sun.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got home about one o'clock, so it wasn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: quite as hot as it was when you left work.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's been pretty miserable the last couple.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Of days, and that humidity is brutal. But anyways, that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: not really.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That's not what you were.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's the inspiration for what I wanted to talk about.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Like you are the inspiration, Yes I am, You're the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: meaning in my life.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So it made me think, did you grow up without
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: central ac because I did pretty much. No, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you had central AC.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: In central Acy, yes, but my grandma did not.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, so both so the house that I originally that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we lived in when I was very small, we did
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: not have central heater air in that house. Neither of
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: my grandparents ever had central AC right now. Then the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: house we moved into when I started school, that I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: lived in until just a couple of years ago, it
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: did have AC. Yes, but I feel like that's a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: theme with our generation. At least part time, we didn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: have it and that made us tough.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, Like it's possible that when I was really young
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we didn't have central AC and we just had window units,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: because I feel like I specifically remember that. And then
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when my dad he was kind of fixing up the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: house and building basements and rooms and all kinds of stuff,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and I believe he probably could.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: In the basement that we need to investigate, like bedrooms
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in the basement, okay, like weird dungeon rooms no basement.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: No. But at that point he also put in central
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: air okay, so that my mom could then begin to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: freeze us out as we lived in the basement in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the air blue at turbine engine speed out the vent
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and she would say it was hot upstairs and turn
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: up the ac or you know, turned down the acus
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: however you want to call it, and we would just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: literally be freezing. You just like turned into icicles.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So I feel like not having central heat and air.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, that'll put hair on your chest.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I hope it didn't do that to you.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: That that separates the men from the boys. Yes, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: then also, did you ever do this, like speak into
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a fan that that's running and because it made you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: sound like a robot?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, of course everybody did that, I.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Know, but the kids don't do that. Now. That's not
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: something like that's just not the norm anymore. It's little
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: things like that that come up in my brain that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I miss.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked speaking into the uh, into the fan
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: make me sound like a robot or Darth Vader or
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: whatever like Tommy Boy. Uh la la la lou.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: So you know, I have like intrusive thoughts, and I
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: had intrusive thoughts as a child.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And one of the intrusive thoughts I wanted to stick
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: my finger in a moving fan.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You No, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't I would that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom understood that I had these thoughts, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: she was like, Lindsay, don't do it, Lindsey, do not
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: do it, Lindsey, don't.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm lucky that I didn't. Like if you had come
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to me on our first date looking like a shop teacher,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you send me a couple of digits like this podcast
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: wouldn't exist, so I can promise you that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you I didn't stick a finger
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in there, but you know what I did stick a
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: straw toe. I stuck a toe almost cut my little
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: toe off.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, did you sniff paint chips or something when
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you were little?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? I don't know. I still to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: this day I have sometimes intrusive thoughts that get the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: best off me. You're just weird, sort of like growing up,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you know, the the car lighters and they had it
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: had a smell uh huh, like when your dad would
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: go to like push the lighter into heat it up
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and it would have that like smell. It took all
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I had when the lighter was hot, not to stick
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: my finger in there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Do you realize how bad that would have burned?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I know, because those things got up to like somewhere
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: between two hundred and one million degrees.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, it would have been like a Yellowstone situation. Basically,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I would have branded myself. But I actually I never
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: did touch it, but I always wanted to. I always
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: like that because it was just the smell.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I just really never wanted to cause myself pain. Like I,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like one of us should seek counseling for this,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and I don't know which one.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, well, I do, but I've never
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: spoken specifically on this.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Oh I think you might want to. Okay, oh my goodness.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: But I can guarantee you that Emmy has never sat
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in front of a fan and spoke into it to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: entertain herself. No.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: No, she also never had those what are those things
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: where you push the button and they floated through water,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like the little rings floated through the water. Tried to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: get them in a you know, a place that it
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: would like like a ring a ring toss kind of yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was in water for some reason.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And it's like the boringest game of all time. Yet
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we were somehow entertained by that, well, because.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It's like all we had, Like you would have had
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that maybe on a car trip, road trip when you
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: had nothing else to do.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful that we
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: didn't grow up and our parents just shoved a screen
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in front of our face. Well, yeah, it's like a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: tablet or a phone.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's important for a child's brain to create
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: and play pretend. And I don't know how children today
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: can develop that if they're if they're just like constantly
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: looking at a screen.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah I don't either. I don't either. It was like
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: dad on board, okay, well count cars and then or whatever,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like who cares? Basically like we're going on this trip
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: for you? So shut up? Is they didn't care, no, no,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: because they were taking us out a trip. They got
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: like one week a year of vacation. They're not like
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: us now where I get like four four to five weeks.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Oh r.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: He got one week a year for vacation. He was taken.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: He had to take five screaming kids, five in a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: car on a long car trip. He didn't have time
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: for the foolishness.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: No, and in every little bit of like extra savings
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they had scrounged up through the year went towards this trip.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: So it I don't know how that was any kind
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of vacation for him. Oh, it couldn't have been like
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: he should have just he should have just been like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my week's vacation and then just like
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: lock the bedroom door and just stayed in there. Yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: watch TV all Yeah, because that would have been more
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: relaxing than taking his five kids that were arguing and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: hitting each other in the back seat or whatever. Like
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I I you know, I don't
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: know how he did it, but or bless.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Him as an only child, things got real exciting in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the back seat on a road trip when it rained,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: because then I would pick my rain drop on the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: window and I would be like, that's going to be
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the winner the rain drop race, yes, you know, And
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I would watch the two or three or whatever raindrops
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: try to see who could beat the others out.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: We would look for and we still do this to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: this day. We would look for license plates from different states.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you and Emmy do that while I have
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: my noise canceling headphones.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just check out on the trips. It's really
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like you're no fun on trips.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So I have these big bulky headphones I put on,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and I have this big, awkward.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Cushy neck pillow.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It's like a neck brace almost, and it holds my
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: neck in place when I go to sleep, so I
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: don't flop over.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You know, you could participate in our family vacations, That's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Once we get there, I do.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You could participate on the way there. According to your mom,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the vacation begins right when you leave the house, when
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you pull out of the driveway. But not for you, well, not.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: For you, because you refuse to stop along the way.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Well, because we got to get there as fans as possible.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I know. So the way that I can do that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: is of all liquids at midnight the night before, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: then I just sleep. That's d That's how we do it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. All right, Well we've chased some rabbits
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: we have. Are you ready to get the season four?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Oh? Man, I'm so ready.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: This is a podcast that looks back on the decade
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: of the nineteen eighties. We talk about things that were
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: important to us as children and what we look back
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately, this is a
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: nostalgia podcast.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Before we get to that, do you have any clean
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: up items anything? From the last episode that we did.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think you've got a big reveal.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I do have a big reveal, don't I almost forgot
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, my goodness, Jim, do you know the people
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that have been on the edge of their seats this week?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they've just been on the edge of their seats.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: This was like a two be continued sitcom episode. We
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: did have a winner. We had several people figure it out.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you though. A couple of the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: people like what their guesses were, okay telling you yeah, absolutely, okay.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: So Sean Nihoff he said, these are all number one
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: hits on the US Billboard one hundred.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Nope, sorry Sean, that was not it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Canadian movie crew said, my guess would be all songs
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: with repeated lines in the chorus.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: That may be true, I don't know, but that was
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: not the theme.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I said, you're definitely thinking, like Jim, yes.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: For sure, what you got? Well, I had a couple
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of people reach out and get it, get it correctly.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: One of our Patreon members, John Milton, he guessed he
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: had like three guesses and I was like, no, dude, sorry,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And then finally he figured out but we did have
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a winner, a new fairly new listener. Her name is
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Vicky Brown from Iowa, and she discovered us through the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Spinning the Wheel podcast our good friend Matt Yep. This
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: was her first reach out as far as I know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and she nailed it. So she said the theme is
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: songs with handclaps, and she is absolutely right. So we've
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: got a gift coming her way. And yes, she nailed it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You got it. You know our friend DF Dave got it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Did he get it? Yeah? Our friend, our.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Friend Brad, he got it. And then asked did his
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: hand clap playlist inspire that episode? And I said, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't consciously thinking about that, but maybe subconsciously at some
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: point it did inspire the episode because he told me
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: that months ago. Yeah, and so it's possible that months
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: ago I said hey, I want to do this and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: then forget about it and then came back a to it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So that's always possible. But it wasn't like. It wasn't
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like I said, oh, Brad brought this up, so I'm
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: gonna do this right. But yeah, everybody got it. But no,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know when Ms VICKI figured out, but Brad
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and and def they figured out after you did this
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the song. After you figured out they figured it out.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So you went a pretty on point there. So I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: guess you do know me a little bit better than
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I thought you did. Oh yeah, well maybe maybe Well
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I had another reach out. Oh yeah, yeah, let me
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: get to this.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I know because I'm middle aged.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Mane a party.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So our buddy James from Bad Movies Rule reached out
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to me, uh and said that he had a nominee
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: for the middle Aged Man Hall of Fame. And so
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I've said, of course, what do you got?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Okay? So I'm curious because I feel like James and
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I are oftentimes on the same you know, track, So okay,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: let me hear it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So you get to decide again, once and for all,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: does this guy get into the middle Aged Man Hall
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of Fame? Or does he get the boot never to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: be nominated again. He's barred forever. And James's nomination for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the middle Aged Man Hall of Fame is none other
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: then mister Steve Martin. Oh wow, as long as I've
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: known Steve Martin, he's had gray hair.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: When when has he ever not looked old?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: That? I think that was probably James's point.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I mean he's spry even now he's spry.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, but he's he looks. He's always been younger than
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: he looks. What about now he's older than he What was.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: That movie that we watched.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Where he Father of the Bride? I know, Father of
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the Bride, but Little Shop of Horrors?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: What did he look like in Little Shop of Horror?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: All right, why don't you google the jerk because that
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: was nineteen seventy nine.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Didn't I like that movie?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: No?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I don't believe you've ever watched that movie.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean you know me? So okay, hold on,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: talk amongst yourselves. Yeah, yep right, I'll allow it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: You see it, you see.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It, I see it. I will allow it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: You're allowing that Steve Martin is now in the Middle
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Aged Man Hall of Fame? Is that what I hear?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Forever and always.
• 18:31

• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm ready?
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Let's last year, we did the fortieth anniversary of movies
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five, and so we're going to do
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the same this year for movies of nineteen eighty six.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Get to it? Let's do it? All right?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: When you look over this list, what do you notice?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got some some heavy hitters here.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like we do.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: We've got some heavy hitters, and then we've got some
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: like nothing's okay, and there's no middle ground.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: There's no middle ground. Yeah, I feel like nineteen eighty
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: six was a strong year for movies.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So why don't you give us a rundown of the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: top ten in box office and we can say a
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: little bit something about each one of them if you want.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Biggest One, no Brainer, top Gun at one hundred
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: seventy seven million dollars. Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And we've covered this before on our Baby Let's Cruise
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: double episode or part one, Part two, whatever, when we
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: were celebrated Tom Cruise's birthday by going through all his
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: movies of the eighties. You thought Top Gun was his
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: best movie from the eighties, But I like Color of Money.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But we're not here to talk about Color of Money.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Although it was the same year. What do you have
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to say about Top Gun?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Top Gun is one of the best eighties movies period.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the defining movies of the eighties.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: For I mean, what a fantastic eighties movie, just like
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: just it glistened with eights?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, do you like that? I do like that Kenny
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Loggins with the soundtrack.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I mean Tom Cruise on a motorcycle, sometimes flying a
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: fighter jet, sometimes playing volleyball.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna say, Tom Cruise wasn't even
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the best time in that movie.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say Tom Wopat. I don't think Tom
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Wopat was in that movie.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Tom Scaret, Oh.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Of course, yes, of course. Okay, So, uh Top Gun
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: clearly number one, but not too far behind. Number two
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: is Crocodile Dundee at one hundred and seventy five million.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: That's these are just crazy.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Numbers, crazy numbers. So I haven't seen Crocodile Dundee since
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: probably like nineteen eighty eight. But what were your thoughts
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: on that when you saw it?
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I loved it, Oh, I absolutely loved it. Even as
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: a little girl. I thought it was a good movie.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: And of course I loved them that's not a knife,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: This is a knife. That part just cracked me up.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: A typical fish out of water type movie, right where
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the Australian comes to New York City.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And he's oblivious and confused, and it was funny.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But yet still owns everyone.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, yep.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Paul Hogan had a good run there for about three years.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: He's just going to say about six.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He's the Rick Astley of movie stars in the eighties.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Next is Platoon. My dad loved this movie.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: At one hundred and thirty eight million dollars, I never
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: saw it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I was gonna say, I'm gonna go out
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: on a limb and say you never.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Never saw it, But my dad talked about a lot.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So Tom Behringer Charlie Sheen, excellent movie about Vietnam. I'm
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: off Tom Behringer, We're not We're not done quite with
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: that movie yet, but we'll move on.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So do you think I could handle that movie? Or
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: is it too much for me.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You kind of like the Vietnam stuff,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: so you might like it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I do, you might like it, okay. At number four
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: The Karate Kid Part two at one hundred and fifteen million. Now,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Part two is nowhere near as good as Part one,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: but it's still good. Yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Danielson hops on a plane with mi Igi to go
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to Okinawa. That relationship a little weird, like I'm not
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: going to go to college instead, I would rather go
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: with this old man who paid for to Okinawa. Daniel
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: paid for it with his college money.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Who I didn't do.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: That, mister Miagi. That's why their relationship is a little straight.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: That's a little weird. And Daniel goes over there, and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I mean apparently he's not only hated in the valley,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: but he's hated over in Okinawa too. I mean it
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: follows him Chosen, did not like him, but chosen. We
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: would go on to love Chosen. Yes, Cobra Kai and
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Cobra Kai. I love that they brought him back, Yes
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: for sure? All right? Give us number five the last
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: movie over one hundred million to grow to one hundred million.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Star track four The Voyage Home at one hundred and
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: ten million. Never saw this one either. I'm not a
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Star Trek fan.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Nor am I. The only Star Trek movie that I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: ever liked was Star Trek two The Wrath of Khan,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: because it was a lot like Star Wars.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Ah, all right, number six, back to school.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that in a few minutes.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: At ninety one million, is that Rodney Dangerfield?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It is?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. And then the next one is Aliens at eighty
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: six million.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, and we'll talk about that in a minute as well.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, now this one, I've never heard of. The Golden
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Child at eighty million dollars.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: This is an Eddie Murphy movie. You know, remember Eddie
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Murphy was was hot and on fire, and even a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: bad movie like The Golden Child could gross eighty million.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, and then ruthless people don't know this one either.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Seventy two million. Yeah, not.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: It was a flop.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Who was in it?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Danny DeVito, Bet Midler, Judge Reinhold, Bill Pullman.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, well I had enough good people it did.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: That's why you know it's it was kind of I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: wouldn't call it a flop because it got seventy two million,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: but I just don't think it reached what it was supposed.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: To, okay, and then number ten on the list, Ferris
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Bueller's Day All fits seventy million.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this list and I see top
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Gun in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and to me, those
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: are in the Iconic Movies of the eighties list. What
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: do you think? So is aliens come to think of it?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, Ferris Bueller should be up there in the
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: top four or five. Yeah.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I would have thought that it would have grossed over
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: one hundred million, but it didn't. We're not going to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: get too far into Ferris Bueller because we're actually covering
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that in a few weeks.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be a fun show because it
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: also it is fortieth anniversary. Oh wow, Yeah, well, I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: mean it's nineteen eighty six, this is twenty twenty.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Six, and this is our fourth anniversary.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: This is our fourth anniversary. It's the fortieth anniversary. This
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: is not our fourth anniversary, it's the third. This is
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: our fourth year. All right, let's talk about some Oscar winners,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: So do it? Best film went to Platoon, which, as
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you said, you have never seen so a lot of
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: times winners aren't that good and this one it's good.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I can see that it could be a little slow
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: at times, but but yeah, Platoon's a good movie. I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: feel like it was probably a deserving Oscar winner here,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: although I think most eighties kids would have said Top
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Gun should have been the Oscar one. Oh yeah, of course.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Best Director Oliver Stone, who directed Platoon.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, having never seen Platoon, but knowing enough about
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Oliver Stone, my assumption it was probably deserved to win.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: But what do you think? Uh?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's probably like just like film wise,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: for what they look for, it's probably the best made film.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: The Best Actor Paul Newman The Color of Money. Yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: which we mentioned earlier when we were talking about Top Gun.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Paul Newman takes home Best Actor as an
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: older man that's impressed. Color of Money. Yeah, he did
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: a great job. Right, You saw that movie, didn't you
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: think Paul Newman was brilliant?
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Best act Wow, Marley Mantlin, Children of a Lesser God.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't seen that. I just know
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that she was the first deaf actress I think to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: win win a Best Actress award, maybe the only deaf
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: actress to win a Best Actress award. I don't know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: don't really pay attention to the Oscars anymore. All right,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: so Best Supporting Actor was Michael Caine with Hannah and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: her Sisters.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Now, I've never even heard of that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I believe that's a Woody Allen joint. And then the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Best Supporting Actress is Diane Weist, also Hannah and her sisters.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: How many sisters? Does Hannah have a lot? Okay, if
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you say so.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've never I don't think I've ever
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: seen a Woody Allen movie, period of you.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Uh no, No. Out of principle alone, I will not
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: watch a Woody Allen movie.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Best Adapted Screenplay A Room with a View.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: That is a James Bond movie.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: And then Best Original Screenplay Hannah and her Sisters, again
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Woody Allen.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Best Original Score was Round Midnight by Herbie Hancock.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: That's a fun name, yes, and.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Then Best Original Song was Take My breath Away from
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Top Gun by Berlin I.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: A one hundred person.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like it should have been Highway to the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: danger Zone. No, yes, take My breath Away. I don't know.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I don't like that song. Oh my goodness, I don't
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like that song. I don't like it at all. All right,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: let's get into some of the movies. Some of the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: lesser known movies are some of the movies that weren't
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: covered in the top ten for nineteen eighty six. What
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: do you say?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Let's do it, all right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Our first movie is.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Iron Eagle, Iron Eagle.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: And so this movie is described as when Colonel ted
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Masters plane goes down in an Arab country which they
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: don't name, and he's sentenced to death for trespassing. His
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: eighteen year old son Doug is determined to save him. Unfortunately,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Doug isn't the best fighter pilot. He wasn't accepted into
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the Air Force because he needs to listen to music
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in order to hit a target. So he enlists the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: help of Colonel Chappie to borrow a couple of F
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: sixteen planes fly across the Atlantic and start a rescue mission.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: That sounds ridiculous.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: So this movie was written by Kevin Allen Elders and
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Sydney J. Fury and also directed by Sydney J. Fury.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It stars Lou Gossick, Junior, Jason Gedrick, David Zuquette, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Larry B. Scott. These guys, I've never heard of other
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: than lou Gosick Junior, who I love. This got a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: box office of twenty four million on a budget only
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: ten million.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Well it made money, right.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: It is seventeen percent on the mader meter, uh huh
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: and fifty seven percent on the popcorn meter. So the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: audience likes it better than the critics. Okay, probably because
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of lou Goazac Junor. But the best quote that I
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: can find from the movie comes from Chappie Sinclair played
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: by lu Gosick Jingr. God doesn't give people talents that
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: he doesn't want people to use, and he gave you
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the touch. It's a power inside of you down there
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: where you keep your guts. Boy, it's all you need
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to blast your way in and get back what they
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: took from you.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, that could get you fired up, right, And that's
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty good speech. They're chappy.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Would that allow you to fly a plane across the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Atlantic and rescue your dad on a death row in
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the Old Country? Sorry, dad, you're going down. Yeah, there's
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: nothing I can.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Do about it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: On the other side, So here's a fun fact about
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the movie. The F sixteen fighter jets used in the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: movie were actually borrowed from the Israeli Air Force and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: not the US military. The US Air Force refused to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: cooperate with the production due to the film's wild plot
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: about a teenager stealing judge.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I can understand why.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: So the filmmakers repainted Israeli planes to make them look
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: like American f sixties. And also, get this, the movie
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: is rushed to theaters in January of eighty six to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: avoid going ahead to head with top Go.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: That was that was smart by them, because I bet
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: that twenty four million budget would have been two point
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: four million had it come out.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: You know, you know it would.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Have all Right, you ready for our next movie? I'm ready,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: all right, down and out in Beverly Hills.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: So I remember when this movie came out. I of
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: course was not old enough to see it, but my
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: dad loved movies, so I know he saw it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I saw it. Probably shouldn't have. Yeah, So why don't
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: you tell us what this This movie is a comedy.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Why don't you tell us what it's about?
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, So it's a comedy about an unlucky and homeless man.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I mean it would be bad enough if you were
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: just unlucky or homeless. But you're unlucky and homeless man
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: named Jerry played by Nick Nolty, who decides to call
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: it quits and sneaks into a stranger's backyard and tries
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: to drown himself in the pool. Why am I giggling?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: This is terrible? However, Jerry's plans are stopped by the
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: pool's owner, white collar businessman Dave played by Richard Dreyfuss,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: who pulls the tramp out of the water and into
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: his home. But Dave's hospitality and his status obsessed wife
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Barbara played by Bette Midler doesn't impress Jerry, who ignores
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: them and instead pursues the Famili's made Carmen played by
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Elizabeth Paanya.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Good good summary, Yes, that is so. The reason why
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: you were laughing is because this was actually a comedy.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: This was written by Paul Mazerski and Leon Capatanos, and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it was directed by Paul Mazerski. At stars as you mentioned,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the four stars Nick Nolty, Bette Midler, Richard Dreyfus, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Pana. It had a budget of fourteen million and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: a box office of sixty two point one million.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's fantastic.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: What was the Majer meter?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Mader meter was seventy seven percent, that's pretty impressive. Fifty
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: two percent was the popcorn meter?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: All right? And what was the fun fact that you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: found on this movie?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: This was the first ever R rated film distributed by
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Walt Disney Studio.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Wow, Walt probably wouldn't have liked that. No, he probably,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: from what I know about him, not have aproved. All right,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: what is our next movie?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Next movie is Wildcat?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen wildcast? So we saw, we rented
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: this and we saw Wildcats and it may have been
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: on HBO a lot too. But this is a sports
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: comedy film, and Molly McGrath is following her dreams when
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: she quits her cushy girls track coaching position at Prescott
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: High to become the boys football coach at Inner City
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Central High. Even though she's faced with both racial and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: gender prejudices, she whips the team into shape so they
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: can compete against Prescott High in the final. All the while,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Molly is also dealing with her ex husband, Frank Needham,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: who was trying to get custody of their two young daughters.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Oh so this was written by Ezra Sachson, directed by
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Michael Ritchie. It stars Goldie Hawn, James Keach, Swoozy Kurtz,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Nipsey Russell. And this is also the debut movie for
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: both Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. No way, So before
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: they would go on to star and White Men Can't Jump,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: they were in Wildcats together with Goldie Hawn as their coach.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: So is James Keach the priest in Blue Bloods?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: That is Stacy Keach.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Are Stacy and James brothers?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they are really James is
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the younger brother of Stacy.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find a budget on this, huh, but the
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: box office made a whopping twenty six point two million dollars.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: It got thirty percent on the Major Meter. Are you
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: surprised at that? It's given the the synopsis of the movie.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: No, actually, I'm not surprised at all.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I got forty nine on the popcorn Meter. The best quote, So,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: there's a a big fella named Finch on the team
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: who's trying to fit into a uniform. And Peanut asked, man,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: how's your folks? Let you get like this? And another
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: guy says, are you kidding? He probably ate his folks.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: And then of course the uh song from the movie,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: it's the sport of kings better than diamond rings football.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That was Goldie Hawns part football.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: So I found a couple of fun facts on the movie.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: The filming for the movie was done during the summer
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: and extras were asked to show up in winter gear
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: and act like it was cold out. Yea, the temperature
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: was in the eighties on the days of filming.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: No, not it.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Sorry, So this was interesting. This is the second football
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: themed movie of nineteen eighty six for Robin Lively. The
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: first was Best of Times, starring Kurt Russell, who is
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the longtime.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Partner of Goldie Hawn.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: So Robin Lively was in two football movies in nineteen
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: eighty six, one with a one with Kurt Russell, and
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: one with Goldie Horn.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: That's interesting.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It is interesting.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: So you know what James Keach was used to be
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: married to Jane Seymour Really yeah, doctor Quinn medicine woman.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, I did not know that. So, Uh. Friends
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: of mine used to always quote this, and it's not
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the best quote, but we used to laugh at it.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: We'd be like, give her the kids, Frank, And then
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the girl was like, give it the kids.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: You wor worm that?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: So I had a picture named Frank, and every time
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: he got two strikes on somebody, I taped my pitching
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: coach on the shoulder. I'd be like, give her the kids, Frank.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Did he know the reference?
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Yes he did, Okay, he did. He cracked up every time.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: All right, So why don't you handle the next movie
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: since I know it's one of your favorites.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Gladly? The next one is Pretty in Pink. This is
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: a teen romantic comedy drama film about love and social
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: clicks in American high schools in the nineteen eighties. It
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: was written by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutsch.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Stars Molly Ringwald, Harry Dean Stanton, John Cryer, Annie Potts,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: James Spader, and Andrew McCarthy.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Quite the cast, I right, does Harry Bean Stanton play
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: a drunk and everything he's in that's all.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: He ever does. Had a budget of only nine million dollars.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: That's kind of impressive to me. The box office earnings
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: came in at forty point five million, so it got
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: a seventy five percent on the Mader Meter and an
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: eighty one percent on the Popcorn Meter. So I'm actually
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised by the seventy five percent. Why is that?
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Because I'm thinking of Siskel and Ebert and who was
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the big mustachioed guy that just passed away Janet from
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: the Today Show, And I just don't I was gonna.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Say, yeah, he just passed away.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: I don't since that this was their type of movie,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: so I figured they would have like ripped it a
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: new one. No.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I think I think Ciskel and Ebert really liked the
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: John Hughes movies. I think they they believe that John
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Hughes spoke for the teens of our generation, and he
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: certainly he certainly did.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: And you know I talked about on episode that I
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: did right after your surgery were Dave from Totally Eighties
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Nineties Recall did the episode with me where we talked
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: about our crushes of the eighties and that I had
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: a crush not on John Cryer, but on his character
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Ducky from this movie. Okay, and I wanted Molly Ringwald
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to pick Ducky.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Well. The original ending had Molly Ringwald ending up with Ducky. However,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: test audiences hated it, so the crew did reshoots, and
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the famous prom scene where Andy ultimately chooses Blaine was
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: shot later, and by that time Andrew McCarthy had already
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: shaved his head and lost weight for a play, so
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: he had to wear an awkward wig.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, I need to go back and watch that scene.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. We are gonna go back and
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: watch that scene because we, at some point this year
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm hoping this summer or maybe early fall, are
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: going to do an episode on John Hughes' movies of
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the eighties. We're gonna rank them. So that means we
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: got to go through and watch all of them, Okay,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: so we can rank them properly. Awesome, So you will
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: get to see this again, So pretty in pink. Out
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: of all the John Hughes movies, this is not my favorite.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'll change when I watch it again,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: but right now, it's not my favorite. I like the
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: funny stuff. There was really nothing funny in that.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there wasn't anything funny in this, And I'm not surprised,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: you know that this wouldn't be one of your favorites.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like Dave may have kind of voiced that
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: as well in our episode, and it I could see
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't necessarily appeal to a teen boy. Yeah.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Best quotes of the movie spoken by Ducky Blaine. His
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: name is Blaine. That's a major appliance. That's not a name.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: And then Molly Ringwold or Andy. I just want them
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: to know they didn't break.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Me Me too, Andy, me too.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Good job Molly Ringwold and Andy. All Right, So that
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: was your movie. The next movie is mine. This movie.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I cannot express to you how much I love this
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: movie in nineteen eighty six and nineteen eighty seven, and
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that you've never seen it never. The next
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: movie that we are talking about is the movie rad So.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: This is a sports film about a bicycle motocrosser who
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: tries to enter a corrupt promoter's nationally televised cash prize race.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: And that bicycle list is Krew Jones. He's a teenage
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: BMX racer who lives in a small town with his
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: younger sister Wesley and their mother. Crew faces a tough
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: decision try to qualify for hell Track or take the
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: SAT which is on the same day as the qualifying races.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Winning Helltrak means one hundred thousand dollars, a new Chevy
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Corvette and fame. Against his mother's wishes, Krew chooses to
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: try to qualify for Hell Track and does so successfully.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: So he skipped his SATs to ride a bike.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: That's about as dumb as The Karate Kid Part two.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Well, will I'll go through this? But then those movies
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: kind of tie together. So this was written by Jeffrey
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Edwards and San Bernard. It was directed by Hal Needham.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: It stars Bill Allen, who plays crew Lori Laughlin.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Is that the first time we've heard of her?
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I believe it is Talia Shire, Ray Watson and American
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: gymnast and gold medalist Bart Connor.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: So this had a budget of three million and earned
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: a whopping box office of two million.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no, they lost a million.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: They lost a million bucks.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Can you write off? Like?
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: How do you?
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I guess so. But here's the crazy thing. It's forty
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: six percent on the Major meter, which is actually higher
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: than what I thought. It's higher than Wildcats and it's
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: higher than Iron Eagle. So it's forty six percent on
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the major meter, but it's eighty nine percent on the
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: popcorn Meter. The people who liked this movie love this movie,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: and they rated high. So best quote, there are no
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: good quotes. But quite possibly the funniest part of the
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: movie is when Crewe and aunt Becky perform freestyle butt
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: bike stunts on the dance floor at Cruise Senior prom
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: while the crowd watches them. Now they're at senior prom
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and they bring in bicycles and do bike stunts.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: That's bad.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: That is bad. So here's some fun facts. The initial
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: hell Track starting ramp was built so intimidatingly high that
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: none of the riders wanted to go down it. It
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: was subsequently sawed down to a twenty five foot version.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: During the shoot, none of the professional stunt riders were
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: actually able to complete one entire lap of the hell
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Track course without falling. Woh And also, because distribution rights
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: were fiercely divided among multiple companies, the movie went more
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: than thirty years without a home release until a four
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: K restoration in twenty twenty.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Now let me tell you that twelve and thirteen year
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: old Jim loved this movie. I loved riding bikes. I
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: love bmx's I always wanted to ride I wanted to
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: try hell track. I felt like I could keep up
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: with them, except for the evil Bart Connor. He was
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: a bad guy and a gymnast, so there's no way
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I was competing with him. But I will say that
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I always thought of this movie as a very similar
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: to Karate Kid. Really, yes, I thought this was very
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: similar to Karate Kid, except that there was no mister Miyagi.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Is that what it lacked?
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: But a few years ago, I'm listening to Bad Movies
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Rule and they are doing this movie because a bad movie,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: And James says I couldn't believe my ears when I
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: heard it come out of the stereo in my car,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: that this movie seemed like Karate Kid on bikes. Really,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: And I was absolutely blown away because that's the way
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I always felt about it. So I cracked up when
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: he said that, because we were on the same page.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: But I don't think James saw it until he was
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: an adult. I saw this at twelve or thirteen years old.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I don't remember if he liked it or not, but
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I doubt I would love it now,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: but if I watch it, it still bring back good memories. Right, Yes,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: all right, why don't you handle the next movie, because
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: that's also a movie for you.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: And I loved this movie, Short Circuit. Did you see it? Oh? Yeah,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: I love short I love Short Circuit. Okay. It's a
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: science fiction comedy about a military robot that is struck
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: by lightning and gains a human like artificial intelligence, prompting
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: it to escape its facility to learn more about the world.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Written by S. S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, directed by
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: John Badam. Its stars Ali Sheety, Steve Gutenberg, Fisher Stevens
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: who I love, Austin Pendleton, and g W. Bailey, who
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I also love. Yes, So, it had a budget of
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars. Guess what it brought in?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: What to bring in?
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Forty point seven million dollars in the box office. It
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: gets a sixty two percent on the mader Meter in
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: a sixty seven percent on the Popcordinator.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Two of three people rate it.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, rate it well, So give me some of the quotes.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, Johnny five is alive. I love that was my favorite. Hey,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: laser lips, your Mama was a snowblower? That was also
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Johnny five. Before we get to the fun facts, let's
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: talk about this cast for a second. Of course, you've
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: got Ali Sheety coming off of Breakfast Club and some others.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: You got Steve Gutenberg, who from eighty four to eighty
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: six was as big as anybody. Yes, right, he did
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Police Academy, he did this, he ends up doing three
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: minute a baby. I love Steve Gutenberg. We also you
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: also talked about several weeks ago about how he had
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: saved some people, yes, you know, from their house bringing
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: down in the fires and.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: The wildfires out in California? Was that two or three
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: years ago?
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Fisher Stevens. Wasn't that the guy in what was the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: movie with or the not the movie? The TV show
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: with Coach? In the newspaper early edition, early right, Fisher
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Stevens and that I loved that. And then GW. Bailey's
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: teaming back up with Steve Gutenberg because he's the foil
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: in Police Academy, yes, which you still need to see. Yes,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: all right, what a fantastic cast.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: So I've got a few fun facts for you. Okay,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: you ready? Good to me? The studio originally wanted Robin
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Williams to voice the robots.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Oh okay.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: However, Papa Teer Tim Blay, who controlled the Robot's head
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: during rehearsals, voiced Number five in real time so the
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: actors could naturally react to his dialogue. His voice was
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: so perfect they kept him for the final film. Saved
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: him some money too, if they didn't have to pay
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Robin will Absolutely. The hit song featured prominently in the
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: movie and its courtroom scene is DeBarge A's Who's Johnny.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: The filmmakers originally wanted to use Money for Nothing by
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Dire Straits for the van driving scene, but the licensing
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: rights were too expensive.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad they used Who's Johnny because I liked
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: I liked the Barge in the eighties, and I liked that.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: But we also then, because of this, because of the
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: popularity of this movie and this song, we also got
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: weird all to do. Here's Johnny uh huh uh his
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: parody of Ed McMahon, and you don't get better than
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: a parody about Ed McMahon.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I think I want to try to find this movie
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: and watch it with Emmy.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, I would agree with that. I think it's a
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good movie to watch with her now,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and she'd be about the same age now that I
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: was when I saw it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Do I bring up the obvious issue or do you
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: want to just move on?
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: What's the obvious issue?
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: The obvious issue is Fisher Stevens played a pervert as
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: if he was Indian. Oh wasn't, And that could be
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: considered disrespectful, racist, tone deaf, culturally insensitive. Yes, so that
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: certainly is not something that would happen today. And I
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: don't know because I'm not I've seen this movie in
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: one hundred years, but I feel he wore some tinted makeup.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: He may have, It's been a long time since I've
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: seen it. I think that we watch it, but I
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: also think that this is a discussion point as well,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: where she can learn a little bit about history and
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit about being culturally sensitive. But I think
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: we probably need to explain to her that, hey, in
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the eighties, kind of anything goes and it's not looked upon. Well, now,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: well that's not okay, right, Okay. The next movie is
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Space Camp.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I've never seen this one, so I've.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Never seen it either. However, it came out in June.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I posted on our Patreon you know what were some
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: of your favorite movies in June, and Space Camp was
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: one of the options. And some people loved it, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: then other people had never even heard of it. So interesting.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: So this is a science fiction venture film inspired by
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: the US Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Which you had. I didn't go to the camp, but
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I went to like the museum and the interactive place
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: where you can go and check it all out. Okay.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: So Andy Bergstrom played by uh my dad's former high
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: school Alumkate Capshaw, is an astronaut eagerly awaiting her first
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: trip to space, and she runs a summer camp for
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: teenagers with her NASA employed husband played by Tom Scarett.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Uh So, one night, during an engine test, Andy and
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: four teenage campers are accidentally shot into space. Very realistic.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Nancy accidentally shoot stuff into space all the time,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: all the time. So together the group, which includes Catherine
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: played by Leah Thompson, your favorite, a pilot and training
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: and Tish played by Kelly Preston, makes you rest in peace.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: A ditch with a perfect memory, must work together to
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: operate the spacecraft and return home. This movie was directed
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: by Harry Weiner, which may have been my middle school
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: pe teacher.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah it was.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: His last name was Winer, but I don't remember I
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: was Harry or not. It stars Kate Capshaw, Leah Thomson,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Kelly Preston, Larry B. Scott, Joaquin Phoenix who was listed
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: as Leaf Phoenix in the cast, Tate Donovan, and Tom Scarett.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: So big, big cast here.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: So was Joaquen originally Leaf?
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: I did not know that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was originally LEAs I knew Leaf. So he
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: had River and Leaf.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: I knew Leaf. I thought Leaf was another sibling. All right.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: So this had a budget of eighteen or twenty five million,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: depending on the source, and had a box office earnings
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: of ten million, So it doesn't matter what the source is.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: They lost money.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: I lost a lot of money. I don't know. I
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: either made eighteen million or twenty five million last year.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Uh, if you made eighteen or twenty five million, we'd
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: be doing a lot more than one podcast a week.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: It got a fifty three percent on the Majer Meter, Wow,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: and a fifty percent on the Popcorn Meter ks. Yeah,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: so about half the audience liked it, all right. So
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: the best best quote, there's two quotes that I found.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: So for this first quote, I want you to be
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Kevin and I'll.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Be Max all right, who talked?
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: It wasn't me Han solo. The Emperor got the information
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: out of Jins, okay. And then the other best quote
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: is because someday you're going up. But the only way
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: that will happen is if you have every drill here
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: down better than everyone else. There's no room for mistakes.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Every I dotted, every tea crossed. That's the way I
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: learned it. That's the way you'll learn it. You copy.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: That's kind of how I treated my baseball players.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Really. Yes, yeah, so I got a fun fact, but
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: it's not so fun. Okay. The film's theatrical release was
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: delayed and it's marketing heavily cut because the real life
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Space Shuttle Challenger exploded just months prior. The studio struggled
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: with the grim coincidence that the movie featured a catastrophic
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: solid rocket booster malfunction.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: And that may be why it only had ten million
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: in the box office, because they were afraid to market it.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Was a little too close.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: No, I also have a fun fact. Filming took place
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: on location at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: NASA was so deeply involved that filmmakers built an incredibly
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: accurate life size replica of the Space Shuttle flight deck
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and mid deck that was later donated to the Camp.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Oh cool, all right, next movie, I'll let you take
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: it Back to School.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: It's a comedy about a wealthy but uneducated father who
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: goes to college to show solidarity with his discouraged son
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: and learns that he cannot buy an education or happiness.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: The screenplay was written by none other than Harold Ramos,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: among others. Directed by Alan Materer, it stars Rodney Dangerfield,
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Sally Kellerman, Bert Young, Keith Gordon, Adrian Barbo, Robert Downey Junior,
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: Sam Kinnison, Ned Baby, and William Zapka. Yes, wow, that's
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: a lineup, Ben is a lineup.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: So you got Paulli from from Rocky, and you got
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: iron Man, and you've got squeal like a pig ned
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: uh huh, and then you've got Johnny Lawrence crazy along
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: with Rodney Dangerfield.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what to think of that. Okay,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: So it's budget was eleven million dollars and it ended
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: up making in the box office ninety one point three million.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Not bad, Yeah, pretty good.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: I got eighty one percent on the Mader Meter and
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: sixty eight percent on the Pompcorn Meter. I'm just still
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised at the eighty one percent on the
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Mayder meeting. Yeah.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: No, the critics loved this movie and Rodney danger Field
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: he was huge in the mid eighties.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just still blown away. I feel like Ciskel and
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Ebert didn't like anything.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: And maybe, you know, I didn't look up Ciskel or
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Eberts yeah stuff on this, but I did, you know,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: maybe they weren't part of the eighty one percent, but
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: usually they Yeah, you don't really know what them.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: So I ran a poll on our Patreon and it
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: was these were the movies that were released in June
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: of eighty six, which is your favorite? And of course
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Space Camp, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Back to School, Karate
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Kid two, and then Labyrinth and Running Scared. We're not
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: going to cover here were all listed the winner. What
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: do you think the winner was? Space Camp, Ferris Bueller's
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Day Off, Back to School, Karate Kid Part two, Labyrinth,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: and Running Scared space Camp. Space Camp is the only
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: one that didn't get any votes.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Are you serious? Oh my gosh? Okay, Well, then the
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: obvious choice is back to School.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Back to School got the win over Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: People love back to School?
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Do they love Rodney Dangerfield? Yes.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Julie says there is no question Back to School is
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: the best movie here. One of our original Patreon members, Jason, said,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of Space Camp Rodney Dangerfield for the win. Wow.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Brad said back to School Ferris is overrated. And that's
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: when I told Brady what, Ferris is not overrated. I
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: don't have a problem with him saying back to schools
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: better than Ferris, but I have a problem with him
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: saying Ferris is overrated, because I mean.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: I got to see this movie. If it's better than Ferris, don't.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is. But it's very.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Funny, crazy, Okay, all right, An I got some quotes.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: This is, of course Rodney Dangerfield on all of these,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: because why wouldn't it be. He says, I don't have
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: the background for this. I mean the high school I
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: went to, they ask a kid to prove the law
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: of gravity. He threw the teacher out the window. The
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: football team at my high school they were tough. After
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: they sacked the quarterback, they went after his family whoa, uh,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: you got to look out for number one and don't
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: step in number two.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: That's funny, all right? What about the fun facts? Okay,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: the famous and highly athletic triple Lindy dive was done
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: by a stunt Dobble, but in real life Dangerfield was
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: actually an acrobatic high diver in his younger days.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, admit.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Now that's a fun fact right there. Danny Elfman did
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the music for the film, marking his second ever theatrical
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: movie score. His band Oingo Boingo also makes a cameo appear.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah they've played dead Man's Party.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: All right, So, yeah, funny movie. I saw it a
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: long long time ago. I haven't seen it since, and
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: so I feel like, almost like if I watched it again,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: it would almost be like watching a new movie. Here's
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say though about this. So this is
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: eighty six. So William zab Cup plays bad guy Johnny
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Lawrence in Karate Kid in nineteen eighty four. In nineteen
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: eighty five, he plays a bad guy in Just One
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: of the Guys. Right, and now in nineteen eighty six,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: he plays a bad guy in Back to School. That's
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: all he can do, and it's sad because he kind
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: of got typecast as a bad guy then and never
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: got any other roles. So I'm so glad that they
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: brought around Cobra Kai, where he was still kind of
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: the same character, but since you saw it through different eyes,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: he didn't look like nearly the bad guy that he
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: did in Karate Kid. All right, So our next movie
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: is a cult classic. Really it is Big Trouble in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Little China. So I see the face you're making, and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: you've probably read the synopsis, which is the reason why
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: you're making that face. So this is a fantasy action
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: comedy film that tells the story of truck driver Jack
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Burton played by Kurt Russell, who he helps his friend
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Wangchi rescue Wang's green eyed fiance from bandits in San
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Francisco's Chinatown. They go into the mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: where they face an ancient sorcerer named David Lo Pan
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: who requires a woman with green eyes to marry him
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: in order to be released from a century's old curse.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: So this movie was directed by John Carpenter, the director
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: of Halloween and The Thing doing a not so scary
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: movie here. It stars Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, and Dennis Dunn.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: The budget was anywhere from nineteen to twenty five million,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: depending on what source you look at, but the Bakos
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: office earnings were only eleven point one million. Here's the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Crazy Thing, sixty five percent on the Mader meter and
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: eighty two percent on the puppet for we get It.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: That just sounds like the worst movie ever.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: So, you know, so some movies become cult classics because
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: people just love them, whether they're good movies or not.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: And then you know this is one of them. Yeah,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Dazed and Confused didn't do so well in the box office,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: but it's become a cult classic. Although I loved it
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: when I saw it in the movie theater, still love
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: it to this day. So the best quote, of course,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: comes from Kurt Russell. When some wild eye eight foot
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: you crooked in the eye and he asks you if
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: you paid your dues. You just stare that big sucker
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: right back in the eye, and you remember what old
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Jack Burton always says at a time like that, have
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: you paid your dues. Jack, Yes, sir, the check is
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: in the mail.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: That's funny. Oh my gosh, okay, got a couple of
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: fun facts. All right. Much of Jack Burton's wardrobe came
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: right off the rack of a random stores across Colorado.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: The now famous tank top was found in a storefront,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: and the crew immediately bought it and had multiple copies
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: made for production.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: That is cool. Screenwriters Gary Goldman and David z Weinstein
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: initially pinned the script as a Western set in eighteen
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: ninety nine.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: That makes it a difference.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Jack was a wandering gunman searching for his stolen horse
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: instead of his stolen semi truck, the Pork Chop Express.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that the pork Chop Express is one
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: of the best names of a vehicle. Yes, from the nineteen.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Eight Yes, not as good as Dolly.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: But yes, not as good as Dolly.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Dolly was Peewee's bicycle.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: That's true. Oh boy. All right. Our next movie, I'm
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: gonna finish this off because you've never seen this movie,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: and I love this movie, do you I do. Our
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: next movie is Aliens, and this is a science fiction
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: action film. It's not a horror film. It's a science
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: fiction action film, and it is a sequel to the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine science fiction horror film Alien. Okay seven years.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Later, Okay, go ahead, As I thought Linda Hamilton was
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: in this movie.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: No, that is Terminator.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: So, after floating in space for fifty seven.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Years, Wow, that's a long time.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Ripley's shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Upon arriving at LV four twenty six, the marines find
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: But even these battle hardened marines with all the latest weaponry,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: invaded the colony. So this movie was written and directed
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: by James Cameron. It stars Sigourney Weaver, Michael Bien, Paul Riser,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Lance Hendrickson, and Bill Paxton. Wow, big, big movie stars there.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: It has a budget of eighteen point five million in
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: box office earnings of eighty six million. This is by
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: far the highest rated movie that we have on the list.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: It's got a ninety three percent on the Mader meter
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: and a ninety four percent on the popcorn meter. Wow.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: So Bill Paxton played the very nervous, intense Private Hudson,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: and he had the one of the best quotes.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Running express elevator to Hell going down.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: He was he was very nervous, and then another quote
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: from there, we better get back because it'll be dark soon.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: And they mostly come at night. Mostly. Oh, so, I know,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: you found a bunch of fun facts on this film.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about and then let's just talk about the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: film and you can ask me questions.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: So James Cameron heavily influenced the film with Vietnam War themes.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Having his cast read books on infantry tactics and stenciling
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: personalized nicknames onto their armor reminds me of Stranger Things.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: The alien nest set was kept intact after filming. It
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: was later used as the Axis Chemicals set for Batman
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty nine. When the Batman crew first entered
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: the set, they found most of the alien nest was
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: still intact. That's pretty impressive, that's crazy. Sigourney Weaver's Best
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: Actress Academy Award nomination for this movie was the first
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: ever for an actress in a role in a sci
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: fi action movie. This film was never shown to test
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: audiences because editing and scoring was not completed until the
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: week before it's theatrical release.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: That's boy, wow, you think you cut it close with
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: our releases.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Only a studio screening was performed for twentieth
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Century Fox executives, which was enthusiastically received. Marketing experts later
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: said that Aliens probably helped save Fox, which was in
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: desperate need of a hit at the time. So Aliens
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: was voted the forty second greatest film of all time
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: by Entertainment Weekly. They describe it as the greatest pure
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: action movie ever. That's awfully kind.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: So it is a great, great, great action movie.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: So I remember I saw this as a kid and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: didn't really remember it, and I thought it was scary,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: and so I think last year Jason Colvin kept going
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: on and on about how great Aliens was and how
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: it's the best movie of nineteen eighty six, and so
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, really, dude, like I don't I don't know.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: And so last year, I don't remember what happened. I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: don't know if you guys were out of town or
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: if you guys were just going to bed earlier what
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: And I was staying up late. But I decided I
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: want to watch Aliens, so I'm going to start off
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: and watch Alien first, from nineteen seventy nine. Alien, while
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: it may be a little slow at times, is an
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: excellent movie. Now I remember it a lot from Alien
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: because the alien pops out of the guy's chest and
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: as a kid, you just don't forget that. Wow. But
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: then I went to watch Aliens, and I have to
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: say that Jason was absolutely right this The movie was
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: so fantastic the way James Cameron did it. It's both
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: into it's like one of those make you jump things,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: but also very action oriented, so it's not a horror film,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: but it's a lot like Stranger Things, and Stranger Things
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: borrowed a lot from the Aliens. So I know that
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: movies are always filmed out of order. They never filmed
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: it from beginning to end, but they actually filmed the beginning.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: When the Marines walk in together, They actually film that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: scene last because they wanted the all the guys that
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: played Marines to have the camaraderie that came with being
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: on set for weeks to do the film. So when
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: they all come in, they looked like they had always
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: been together, and so that was that was pretty cool.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: But I am telling you this movie is awesome, Like
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: it is probably top ten or fifteen of my favorite
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: of all time.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm I'm I may have to watch it.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you may have to. Okay, all right,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: let's uh, we're finished with with all the big ones,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: but let's go through some other notable movies that were
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: released in nineteen eighty six.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, So Howard the Dock, which my parents mistakenly thought
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: if Short Circuit was appropriate for little lens, Howard the
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Duck would be as will.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw that as well. And yeah, Ed Rooney
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: and Leah Thompson, so you got Back to the Future
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: and Ferris Bueller at Rooney. He was in a lot
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: of stuff there, but yeah, not a kid appropriate for sure.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Haunted Honeymoon, starring Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner, and Dom Delaise.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Kind of a silly yeah, you know, a silly movie,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: but I remember that in nineteen eighty six.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, so stand by Me, which we covered in our
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: Cory's episode right.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: In which we're going to do more of a deep
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: dive at some point this year because this is also
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: against the fortieth anniversary and we both loved that movie,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: so we're going to do that. We're just looking for
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: a third person to.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Do that with Highlander, right, and Peggy Sue Got Married?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen either of those?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I have seen Peggy Sue Got Married.

• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: I don't really remember. It was on HBO a lot, Right.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I've seen parts of it, but I've never seen all
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I can't.
• 1:12:02

• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: talked about in our sports movies yep. And Three Amigos,

  Speaker 2: Bloody Allen and then Quicksilver.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, Western Western?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, this kind of wraps up our look and
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: an overview of the movies of nineteen eighty six.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let us know what were some of your favorite
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: movies from nineteen eighty six, and then let us know
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: if there were some that we missed that we didn't
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: cover or mention, because there were a lot of movies
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty six. A lot of good movies.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, So what did you think? I think it's a

  Speaker 2: it's a great list. It's an interesting list.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: I have to wonder, like what, speaking of HBO just
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: a second ago, like what did HBO have? How did
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: it come into play with us kids seeing these movies?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: Because it came into play with me seeing oh, absolutely right,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: and suddenly I had the opportunity to see movies that
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: my parents aren't going to take me to the movie
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: theater too.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Write or you're not gonna rent on VCR, right.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that kind of changes the game there,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: it did.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. I never really thought of that.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: There were movies that played on HBO all the time,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: like The Natural and so yeah, I mean, I mean,
