• 0:00
  All right, so I got two very special
• 0:01
  guests here today. One has been on the
• 0:04
  podcast before. Say hello to Jyn. You
• 0:06
  guys remember him? The guy who has
• 0:07
  worked with Todd McFarland. Say hi, Jyn.
• 0:10
  >> Hey, everybody.
• 0:11
  >> And of course, I have a brand new
• 0:13
  member, first time on the podcast, and
• 0:15
  hopefully of course he'll get on here
• 0:17
  again, DJ Link. What's going on,
• 0:18
  brother? How are you?
• 0:19
  >> What's up? What's up, man? Thank you for
• 0:20
  uh having me.
• 0:21
  >> Yeah. So today I want to about talk
• 0:24
  about something that like I think a lot
• 0:25
  of people who grew up like we grew up in
• 0:28
  the 1980s some of your favorite movies.
• 0:30
  And to me like as I was thinking about
• 0:32
  doing this podcast I'm like I remember
• 0:34
  so many great movies growing up as a
• 0:35
  kid. Some I'm going to mention here
• 0:37
  today. Some I probably won't get to but
• 0:39
  uh I'm going to let one of you guys
• 0:42
  start off. So let's start with you since
• 0:44
  you're the the honorary guest here today
• 0:46
  DJ. Give me a movie from the 80s that
• 0:48
  you absolutely loved and talk a little
• 0:50
  about it. what you loved about it, all
• 0:52
  that good stuff.
• 0:53
  >> Yeah, thank you. My number one, and this
• 0:55
  is my favorite movie of all time. I had
• 0:58
  the VHS back in the day. Well, actually
• 1:00
  before the VHS, we had it recorded
• 1:02
  somehow bootleg back in the 80s. Yo,
• 1:05
  it's my favorite movie of all time, and
• 1:07
  that's Predator, the original Predator.
• 1:09
  Predator one with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
• 1:12
  And he's for me, this movie is
• 1:15
  absolutely perfect from an action
• 1:16
  perspective. You're one ugly
• 1:20
  [ __ ]
• 1:22
  >> From a sci-fi perspective, from a score
• 1:25
  perspective,
• 1:26
  >> it from a machismo perspective because
• 1:29
  it is the '8s guys with muscles for me
• 1:31
  is just a perfect movie, man. And uh my
• 1:33
  mother introduced me to Predator and I
• 1:37
  used to run this VHS tape back in the
• 1:39
  day.
• 1:39
  >> That's an awesome mom.
• 1:40
  >> I was gonna say, what the hell, man?
• 1:43
  because all my lists, so in formulating
• 1:45
  my list, these are all movies that I had
• 1:47
  the VHS of. It wasn't things that, you
• 1:50
  know, '8s movies that I didn't have and
• 1:51
  I wind up seeing as an adult or a
• 1:53
  teenager. And all of these movies I
• 1:55
  attribute to my mom, spending time with
• 1:57
  my mom's, and she will put me on to like
• 1:59
  some dope ass movies.
• 2:00
  >> That's awesome. Like, like Jyn said,
• 2:02
  man, that is freaking crazy. Your mom
• 2:04
  recommends a Predator. I mean, my mom
• 2:06
  like recommended like the Wizard of Oz.
• 2:08
  You get the Predator. That's awesome.
• 2:10
  See, like I'm taking a cue from your mom
• 2:12
  because my kid uh my oldest, she's uh
• 2:14
  just turned 13. They keep telling her,
• 2:16
  "I'll watch John Wick with you. Watch
• 2:17
  John Wick with me."
• 2:19
  >> So, I'm trying to turn her on to some of
• 2:20
  this stuff.
• 2:20
  >> Yeah, do it.
• 2:22
  >> I think Arnold was like the
• 2:23
  quintessential, you know, 80s action
• 2:25
  hero, right? He did a lot of movies. Not
• 2:27
  only did he do that, what else did he
• 2:29
  do? Conan. I'm definitely drawing a
• 2:31
  blank. He did a million more.
• 2:32
  >> Oh, yeah. Bladeunner.
• 2:34
  >> Commando.
• 2:34
  >> Not Bladeunner. Um, I forgot about that.
• 2:37
  Yeah,
• 2:37
  >> Commando. Yeah, I think his um his
• 2:40
  acting in Predator is probably his best
• 2:42
  acting of his career. A lot of people
• 2:44
  will attribute Terminator or Terminator
• 2:46
  2. He's just playing a robot, right? So,
• 2:49
  in this one, he's actually acting and
• 2:51
  you can see like his intensity, the
• 2:53
  despair, the dread like on his face is
• 2:56
  just he does his best acting job in this
• 2:58
  movie for me by far.
• 3:00
  >> Yeah, I I agree. Predator wasn't on my
• 3:02
  list, but I got to tell you, if you go
• 3:04
  back and talk about action movies from
• 3:06
  the 1980s, it's definitely up there. It
• 3:07
  was probably top five of all time.
• 3:10
  [Applause]
• 3:11
  >> All right, Jen, you're up. Give us a
• 3:13
  movie off your list from the 1980s that
• 3:15
  you loved.
• 3:16
  >> All right. Uh, so this isn't in any
• 3:18
  particular order, but uh, one that I
• 3:19
  know is probably on one of your lists.
• 3:21
  Back to the Future. Uh, pick one or two.
• 3:24
  Either one.
• 3:25
  >> Hey, doc, we better back up. We don't
• 3:26
  have enough roads to get up to 88.
• 3:28
  >> Roads. Where we're going, we don't need
• 3:31
  roads.
• 3:32
  >> But for me, uh, I think I watched part
• 3:35
  two and then I watched part one.
• 3:37
  Um, I think that's how it went, but part
• 3:40
  two did it for me. Um,
• 3:42
  >> the hoverboard.
• 3:43
  >> The hoverboard being in the future. The
• 3:46
  microwave where you can cook a meal in
• 3:49
  30 seconds. Oh my god, do we have
• 3:52
  something like that these days?
• 3:54
  >> Kind of. Sort of.
• 3:56
  >> Yeah, it was just awesome. Um, part two
• 3:58
  was so fun. Um, you know, there was
• 4:01
  something about that uh creating a new
• 4:04
  movie franchise, right? and one that's
• 4:06
  so beloved and just hits you at at your
• 4:08
  core. Uh the storytelling, the
• 4:11
  characters, the acting, I mean, uh
• 4:13
  Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, it
• 4:15
  it was the perfect duo um for that type
• 4:18
  of movie and it just worked so well. And
• 4:20
  the concept, you know, we always we
• 4:23
  always knew there was the concept of
• 4:25
  traveling backwards or forward in time,
• 4:27
  but man, they made it so fun. and Back
• 4:30
  to the Future has to be one of my top
• 4:32
  franchise uh movies of all time. But um
• 4:36
  yeah, part two was the one that really
• 4:38
  stands out for me.
• 4:39
  >> See, for me, I I remember going to see
• 4:41
  Back to the Future 1 in 1985. And I
• 4:44
  remember we had such a long wait before
• 4:47
  two came out that like we thought it was
• 4:48
  like a myth. We didn't think it was
• 4:50
  going to happen. We thought it was like
• 4:51
  hearsay. It was all people making stuff
• 4:52
  up. But Back to the Future one was to me
• 4:55
  it was on my list. There's no question.
• 4:56
  It was at the top of my list because not
• 4:58
  only did it involve time travel, which
• 5:00
  is like a big thing in the '8s, like
• 5:02
  people wanted to like I've always felt
• 5:03
  like it was a big topic. Could we go
• 5:05
  forward in time to the future, could we
• 5:07
  go back in time to change things? And
• 5:08
  they did it such an iconic way of course
• 5:10
  with the the8s car of the Delorean and
• 5:12
  of course, you know, the characters of
• 5:14
  Doc and and Marty and and all the things
• 5:16
  that went on during this movie. It's
• 5:17
  still like it was on last night. I'm not
• 5:19
  going to lie to you as we're doing the
• 5:20
  show. It was on a channel last night and
• 5:22
  I was watching. I'm like, "Oh god, how
• 5:24
  good was this movie?" from the the
• 5:25
  music, power of love, freaking back in
• 5:28
  time, like it was just so awesome. Then
• 5:31
  when we did get to two after that long
• 5:32
  break, it was like you got the
• 5:34
  hoverboard. I remember hearing the story
• 5:36
  about Robert Semechus, who's the
• 5:37
  director of Back to the Future, saying
• 5:39
  that he made a joke somewhere that like
• 5:41
  the hoverboards are real and he got a
• 5:43
  hold of them and put them in the movie.
• 5:44
  And I went like nuts trying to find
• 5:46
  these things later to find out that he
• 5:48
  was bullshitting about the whole thing.
• 5:51
  >> That's great marketing. Awesome
• 5:53
  marketing, man. Robert Smeckis was such
• 5:55
  a great filmmaker.
• 5:56
  >> Yeah, I'm a fan of the Back to the
• 5:58
  Future movies. Now, as we go through my
• 6:01
  list, you would see like I I was raised
• 6:03
  with violence and like
• 6:07
  and music. So, there's a lot of on my
• 6:09
  list that's just going to be down that
• 6:10
  route. I saw Back to the Future, not as
• 6:13
  a kid, though. So, I saw it when uh I
• 6:15
  was in my early 20s for the first time.
• 6:17
  So, there's a lot of things that I went
• 6:19
  back and I saw again for the first time.
• 6:20
  And there's probably going to be a lot
• 6:21
  of movies on your list that I'm just
• 6:23
  going to be like.
• 6:25
  Well, you know what was it's
• 6:27
  interesting, right? Because DJ Lynx,
• 6:29
  you've got you've got this really unique
• 6:31
  take on it because if you watch that
• 6:32
  movie as a grown-up, uh I'd be curious
• 6:36
  to know how it affected you, right? Cuz
• 6:38
  basically part two, living in 2025, part
• 6:43
  two, we've got a lot of that stuff,
• 6:44
  right? Minus the hoverboard and flying
• 6:46
  cars, but we have a lot of that tech.
• 6:48
  Even Jaws coming out with a hologram.
• 6:49
  You can do that with drones, you know,
• 6:52
  Pepper's Ghost or something.
• 6:53
  >> But how what do you think of that movie,
• 6:56
  you know, Lawrence and I watching this
• 6:58
  as kids? We're like, whoa, this could be
• 7:00
  the future. And it it, you know, what's
• 7:02
  that what's that core a core memory from
• 7:04
  inside out, you know, it imprinted.
• 7:06
  >> Yeah. I think it would have had a better
• 7:09
  effect on me or a greater effect on me
• 7:10
  had I watched it as a kid. So, in
• 7:12
  watching it like we went through like a
• 7:14
  '8s marathon like one weekend, my wife
• 7:16
  and I. So, it was just like, "All right,
• 7:17
  let's throw this on and let's just move
• 7:19
  to the next one." Like, I like Back to
• 7:21
  the Future. Um, I I like one and two,
• 7:24
  three, not so much, but it's not a
• 7:26
  franchise that I love. And I think
• 7:27
  that's because I watched it with adult
• 7:29
  eyes and not like that the wonder of
• 7:31
  like
• 7:32
  >> Yeah.
• 7:33
  >> Yeah. Well, because it's interesting,
• 7:34
  right? Because people say the same thing
• 7:35
  about Star Wars. So, episode four, you I
• 7:37
  try to show my kids that, all three of
• 7:39
  my kids, and they could care less. They
• 7:41
  get bored within the first 20 minutes.
• 7:43
  Um, so it's just different, right?
• 7:45
  >> Yeah.
• 7:46
  I think you just hit it right on the
• 7:47
  head. I think I think if you grow up
• 7:49
  with it and you see it as a kid, you you
• 7:51
  you end up having a fondness for it. If
• 7:53
  you just see it later on, it becomes
• 7:55
  like I don't really have that attachment
• 7:57
  as I forever would if I grew up with it.
• 7:59
  I think that that that goes into comics,
• 8:00
  right? We're in the comic space and I
• 8:02
  feel like if you had something when you
• 8:03
  were a kid, you it, you know, always
• 8:05
  goes back to that nostalgia where if you
• 8:06
  just get it as an adult doesn't have
• 8:08
  that kind of same feel for it, right?
• 8:10
  >> 100%.
• 8:11
  >> Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, man.
• 8:13
  >> Yeah. TWW, you're going to be glad that
• 8:15
  you came to me with this. Yes, because
• 8:17
  with the right angles, man, we're going
• 8:19
  to turn this into something
• 8:22
  monstrous.
• 8:23
  >> All right, so my turn. And I'm sticking
• 8:25
  with Michael J. Fox. Teen Wolf. You guys
• 8:28
  ever see that one?
• 8:29
  >> Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Teen Wolf is
• 8:31
  awesome.
• 8:32
  So to to me like the fact that a kid
• 8:36
  around my age or when I was I was
• 8:38
  probably younger, but someone around my
• 8:40
  age could turn into a wolf, go to
• 8:42
  school, play basketball, and do all the
• 8:45
  freaking crazy things he could do. And
• 8:46
  Michael J. Fox was super hot, not only
• 8:48
  with Back to the Future, with Family
• 8:50
  Ties, he was on the TV show, so everyone
• 8:52
  knew who he was. and just seeing him do
• 8:54
  all these things as a freaking wolf. I
• 8:56
  think I I don't know. Like you're like
• 8:58
  your mom got you into that, you know, I
• 9:00
  don't want to say the horror stuff with
• 9:01
  Predator, but I'm sure the violent stuff
• 9:02
  I was into like all like Freddy Krueger,
• 9:06
  Vangoria, Jason, all that stuff growing
• 9:08
  up as a kid, the freaking Pin Head. So
• 9:10
  like seeing a kid turn into a wolf was
• 9:12
  right up my alley. And not only that, it
• 9:14
  had incredible, you know, comedic
• 9:16
  elements to it. So I was like one of
• 9:18
  those movies that I I saw multiple times
• 9:20
  in the theater. Obviously when he came
• 9:21
  on TV I had to watch it. So Michael J.
• 9:23
  Fox was like almost like the king of the
• 9:25
  1980s and Teen Wolf was one of them I
• 9:27
  was in love with as a kid.
• 9:29
  >> Yeah. Like I saw Teen I still remember
• 9:31
  seeing it at my friend's house when it
• 9:33
  came out on VHS and we they was like,
• 9:35
  "Hey, we're going to throw on this movie
• 9:36
  and it's not scary cuz I at the time
• 9:38
  like I I like action movies but not
• 9:40
  really like horror movies and once they
• 9:41
  said wolf." So anyway, they threw it on
• 9:43
  and I was just like, "Oh, this movie is
• 9:45
  super cool." And that's one of the ones
• 9:47
  that I enjoyed with like those childlike
• 9:49
  eyes like man I wish I could turn into a
• 9:51
  wolf and play basketball and do this and
• 9:52
  do that. Um so yeah it was like it was
• 9:56
  awesome. Like it's an awesome like
• 9:59
  eight n 10year-old like that like just
• 10:01
  to give them like hope like it's not
• 10:03
  it's not all bad you know you could be a
• 10:04
  wolf and still get busy.
• 10:06
  >> Yeah he's getting he got girls too as a
• 10:08
  wolf. That was that was the main thing I
• 10:09
  took away from that. He was like a dork
• 10:11
  and then all of a sudden he turns into a
• 10:13
  wolf and he and he's pulling chicks. Oh,
• 10:16
  that's why I don't shave to this day.
• 10:21
  >> Yeah, man. Like, Teen Wolf, I I think
• 10:24
  one of the great things about that was,
• 10:26
  you know, I was I was kind of an
• 10:28
  introvert. I was quite a bit an
• 10:31
  introvert when I was a kid. And so, I
• 10:33
  always love those movies about the nerd,
• 10:34
  the quiet guy, you know, the u that's
• 10:37
  why movies like Revenge of the Nerds was
• 10:39
  that hit me pretty hard, too. It was
• 10:41
  like, okay, that's really cool. you
• 10:42
  know, they can fight back or they can
• 10:45
  actually wind up being, you know, one of
• 10:46
  the cool kids. But Teen Wolf, man, yeah,
• 10:49
  talk about an awesome concept. And
• 10:50
  again, we're talking about these movies,
• 10:52
  right? Where these days, if they
• 10:55
  attempted anything like that, it
• 10:57
  wouldn't get green lit, right? It's got
• 10:59
  to be a blockbuster. And it's just so
• 11:00
  unfortunate because were any of these
• 11:03
  movies we're talking about right now
• 11:04
  perfect? Predator, yes. Uh, Back to the
• 11:07
  Future, really close. But then some of
• 11:09
  the other movies on my list, no way
• 11:11
  they're even close to being perfect
• 11:12
  movies, but they're just so damn fun,
• 11:14
  right? And they understand again, they
• 11:16
  they understood how to tell that story,
• 11:18
  the hero's journey, right?
• 11:20
  >> Uh that one trope that works time and
• 11:22
  time again. And yeah, Teen Wolf was
• 11:24
  another one where I think the first time
• 11:27
  that he transformed, I don't know what
• 11:29
  it was, but I didn't really like horror
• 11:31
  movies too much as a kid, but that
• 11:32
  creeped me out. But it creeped me out in
• 11:34
  a way where like, all right, I'll keep
• 11:35
  watching, but
• 11:37
  >> I don't know.
• 11:38
  I It's funny you mentioned that because
• 11:40
  I that to me is one of my favorite parts
• 11:42
  in that movie where you you see him turn
• 11:44
  into the wolf like the first time
• 11:45
  because I actually did a pretty good job
• 11:47
  because they show like hair growing in
• 11:48
  certain spots but you don't get to see
• 11:50
  everything and then all of a sudden you
• 11:51
  see him turn and uncover his face and
• 11:53
  he's the wolf. So for the 80s I thought
• 11:54
  they did a pretty good job.
• 11:56
  >> Does it have to be human?
• 11:59
  >> Does it have to be mine?
• 12:01
  >> All right, DJ Links, give us your next
• 12:02
  one. All right, so my next one and I'm
• 12:05
  laughing over here. I said about the
• 12:06
  violent stuff like that. I'm going to
• 12:08
  take a detour. Number two on my list,
• 12:10
  and these are in no particular order.
• 12:11
  Uh, Little Shop of Horrors.
• 12:15
  >> Little Shop of Horrors. It is I know
• 12:18
  this movie word for word from beginning
• 12:20
  to end.
• 12:21
  >> Oh, no way.
• 12:22
  >> The entire on the 23rd day. The entire
• 12:24
  movie. Um, it was around like I don't
• 12:27
  know the VC the the tape was there. So,
• 12:30
  I plugged it in. This is one that I
• 12:31
  found on my own. And that's the first
• 12:33
  time I've ever seen a musical. I did not
• 12:36
  know musicals existed at that time. I
• 12:38
  hadn't seen Greece or anything like
• 12:39
  that. So, this was super like crazy for
• 12:42
  me, especially that I loved music. So,
• 12:44
  in those days, that's when like, you
• 12:45
  know, hip-hop and stuff was like popping
• 12:47
  and and things like that. So, I was like
• 12:49
  super into that. So, to see a movie like
• 12:52
  with musical elements, it just blew my
• 12:54
  mind. And the music was actually really
• 12:56
  really good. And I love the story about
• 12:58
  the the nerd overcoming the like the the
• 13:01
  bully and the dentist or whatever and
• 13:03
  then finally getting the chick Audrey. I
• 13:06
  just thought it it was super cool, man.
• 13:07
  And I' I've seen it on Broadway like
• 13:09
  twice. Um and it's just a fantastic like
• 13:12
  it's a feel-good movie. A nice feelood
• 13:14
  movie.
• 13:14
  >> I am so shocked to hear you say that
• 13:16
  movie. I'm not going to lie to you, bro.
• 13:18
  I you go from Predator to Little Shop of
• 13:20
  Ours. I blow my mind. But I agree that
• 13:23
  it was such a great movie. Rick Moran is
• 13:24
  another guy from the 80s and he's on
• 13:26
  another one of my movies. I don't want
• 13:28
  to say that yet, but like he was another
• 13:30
  guy who like straight out of the 80s,
• 13:32
  you know, I know he was in Ghostbusters,
• 13:34
  he was in Space Balls, he was in um
• 13:36
  Honey I Shrunk the Kids, just synonymous
• 13:38
  with the 80s. And and I agree, man, that
• 13:40
  movie was fantastic. And I was I was
• 13:42
  never like a musical guy hearing like
• 13:44
  the music and and whatever. I was never
• 13:45
  that guy.
• 13:46
  >> But that movie, you're right, from start
• 13:48
  to finish, it's really really enjoyable.
• 13:51
  Mhm.
• 13:53
  >> I I'm going to tell you a secret. I've
• 13:55
  never seen the movie.
• 13:56
  >> I figure there's going to be a couple
• 13:58
  that I'm going to say and that someone
• 13:59
  else gonna say that they've never seen
• 14:01
  it. So that's okay, man. Now you have
• 14:02
  something to do, right? You're going to
• 14:04
  go next week, go buy it. Go buy it
• 14:07
  either DVD if you can find those anymore
• 14:08
  or try to find it on demand somewhere
• 14:10
  and watch it cuz it is really
• 14:11
  entertaining.
• 14:12
  >> Yeah, cuz that was one movie where I saw
• 14:14
  posters everywhere. Uh, and I I don't
• 14:17
  know, maybe it was just the kids that
• 14:18
  were at my school that just weren't
• 14:19
  talking about it, but I always knew it
• 14:22
  existed. I knew it was a musical and I
• 14:24
  knew it was fun, but yeah, I'm going to
• 14:26
  have to check this out now.
• 14:28
  >> Yeah, 100%.
• 14:29
  >> It's It's funny. Like the dialogue is
• 14:31
  like sharp and like snappy. The songs
• 14:33
  are pretty cool. The lyrics are deep.
• 14:35
  >> It's uh it's it's really good. I I want
• 14:37
  to
• 14:37
  >> Oh, we need to go do karaoke and do
• 14:39
  Suddenly Semour. I I'll be Audrey.
• 14:42
  >> No one No one needs to hear me sing. No
• 14:43
  one wants to hear me sing. I'll put it
• 14:45
  that way, but I would definitely do it.
• 14:47
  Just be better be drunk as f.
• 14:50
  [Applause]
• 14:51
  >> All right, next up. I You guys might not
• 14:54
  have heard about this one, but uh Cloak
• 14:56
  and Dagger from 1984.
• 14:59
  >> Did you guys ever watch that?
• 15:00
  >> I have not. So, give I mean you DJ,
• 15:03
  you've heard of that one?
• 15:04
  >> I've I've se I've seen it, but it was a
• 15:07
  TV movie, right? It wasn't a movie that
• 15:09
  was released in the theaters.
• 15:10
  >> No, it was in the theaters, but I
• 15:12
  watched it on TV. So this thing would
• 15:14
  play once. It felt like once a month uh
• 15:16
  on TV. So I I that's probably why you
• 15:19
  think it's a TV movie, but this thing's
• 15:21
  from like 84 85 around there. So, it's
• 15:25
  about this kid. His dad's uh a
• 15:28
  businessman and always away. And so, you
• 15:30
  know, he doesn't have dad around. And
• 15:32
  so, he kind of gets lost in this fantasy
• 15:34
  where this FBI agent gets shot and
• 15:36
  killed. And it happens in front of
• 15:38
  Davey, the main character.
• 15:40
  >> And he hands him this Atari cartridge,
• 15:42
  right, that says cloak and dagger on it.
• 15:44
  And so on that cartridge are all these
• 15:46
  crazy secrets, government secrets,
• 15:48
  right, that could ruin blow up the world
• 15:50
  and whatever cause nuclear holocaust.
• 15:53
  And throughout the course of the movie,
• 15:55
  he meets this this spy. His name is Jack
• 15:58
  Flack, right? The thing was he looks
• 16:00
  just like his dad. So, he projects his
• 16:03
  dad onto this heroic character. And so,
• 16:05
  it's about this little kid, 9 10 years
• 16:07
  old at most with this spy, this master
• 16:11
  spy, and they're going off trying to
• 16:13
  save the world. And so, that movie for
• 16:15
  me hit home uh pretty hard, right? cuz
• 16:20
  it was a kid around my age going off
• 16:22
  saving the world. He had this Atari
• 16:25
  cartridge and I love playing Atari back
• 16:27
  then, right? And so, uh, I think one of
• 16:30
  the great things about this movie was,
• 16:32
  uh, at the end of the, you know, the end
• 16:33
  of the movie, I don't want to, you guys
• 16:35
  don't mind if I spoil it. Spoiler alley,
• 16:40
  but go ahead.
• 16:41
  >> Oh, yeah. And so, it turns out, you
• 16:43
  know, so the dad comes and saves the kid
• 16:45
  and the kid's in real trouble, right?
• 16:46
  So, that's the thing. And so he goes on
• 16:48
  this adventure and and again there's
• 16:51
  nothing really overly complicated about
• 16:52
  this movie. It's the hero's journey
• 16:54
  again. And it was just about this kid
• 16:57
  who
• 16:58
  missed dad uh projected his dad onto
• 17:01
  this hero and they go off on this
• 17:02
  adventure together. And I always just
• 17:04
  thought that was awesome, right? Cuz my
• 17:06
  dad was kind of the same. My dad always
• 17:07
  tried his best um but he was busy
• 17:09
  working, right? And so I would put
• 17:11
  myself in the position of him like, "Oh
• 17:12
  yeah, if I went with my dad on this and
• 17:14
  this and this." Yeah, there was um there
• 17:16
  was an emotional tie for me there and
• 17:18
  that's one that stuck with me and it's
• 17:20
  real obscure movie that I know not a lot
• 17:22
  of people, you know, have watched, but
• 17:23
  yeah, definitely put on your watch list
• 17:26
  here.
• 17:32
  >> All right, my turn again. And I'm going
• 17:33
  with the classic, The Goonies.
• 17:35
  >> For me, like this is the this is like
• 17:37
  the ultimate adventure movie if you're a
• 17:39
  kid. I think every kid, especially if
• 17:40
  you're a guy, right? If you're a guy,
• 17:42
  you you wanted to go on an adventure. It
• 17:45
  was your dream to find like a treasure
• 17:47
  map and then go ahead with your friends
• 17:49
  to go ahead and and and find this
• 17:51
  treasure. I feel like that's every '8s
• 17:52
  kid's dream. And the Goonies just, you
• 17:55
  know, it just went up on the screen and
• 17:57
  every character in that movie was
• 17:59
  phenomenal. From Bran, the older
• 18:01
  brother, from Mikey, the younger brother
• 18:03
  with asthma, to Data, the tech guy, to
• 18:05
  Mouth, the, you know, the arrogant kid,
• 18:07
  and of course, Chunk was my favorite. do
• 18:10
  the truffle shuffle. And then of course
• 18:11
  you had you had the girls and and you
• 18:14
  had sloth and you had the you know the
• 18:16
  villains the the fatellis and you had
• 18:18
  pirate ship. Like who didn't like a
• 18:19
  pirate ship when you were growing up as
• 18:21
  a kid? So to me the Goonies is one I
• 18:23
  think a lot of people are going to
• 18:24
  recognize if they're listening to this
• 18:25
  podcast as like one of their favorite
• 18:26
  movies as a kid.
• 18:28
  >> Oh yeah. Come on man. Like Goonies came
• 18:31
  out after Raiders, right? Was it between
• 18:33
  Raiders and Temple? I think but
• 18:36
  >> yeah, you had that bridge between those
• 18:38
  two movies and Goonies was just it was
• 18:40
  perfectly timed. That movie again as far
• 18:44
  as like kids adventure, Stranger Things
• 18:46
  or whatever else they were trying to re
• 18:48
  remake and tap into nostalgia. Goonies
• 18:50
  was it um ultimate kids adventure action
• 18:53
  adventure movie.
• 18:55
  >> Yeah, it's it's it's perfection. It's
• 18:57
  not on my list, but it would have been
• 18:58
  on my list if uh you know we were
• 19:00
  allotted eight choices.
• 19:02
  It's my It's my wife's favorite movie
• 19:05
  and we legit watch it like maybe once
• 19:08
  every three months.
• 19:10
  >> That's awesome.
• 19:11
  >> Yeah, we w we watch it like that once
• 19:13
  every three months and it's like you
• 19:15
  guys said the quintessential like kids
• 19:17
  adventure movie. Like they struck gold
• 19:19
  with that and that hasn't been able to
• 19:21
  be replicated in any other kids movie
• 19:23
  since. Maybe Super Eight had a little
• 19:25
  bit of that magic.
• 19:26
  >> Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 19:27
  >> Yeah. But the the Goonies is it's it's
• 19:29
  it like it's its own thing and it's just
• 19:31
  beautiful.
• 19:32
  >> I heard they're trying to to come out
• 19:33
  with another one. I I you know, same
• 19:35
  same cast except except as as older
• 19:38
  adults. I hope they do it because I feel
• 19:40
  like everybody would go see that, right?
• 19:41
  And I tried to get I tried to get my
• 19:43
  kids to watch The Goonies when they were
• 19:44
  younger. They wanted to know part of it.
• 19:45
  I I don't I couldn't understand that.
• 19:47
  >> Really? What So what was it about the
• 19:49
  movie that you think that they weren't
• 19:50
  they weren't drawn to?
• 19:51
  >> I don't They just don't sit like for
• 19:53
  movies. My My youngest will go to like
• 19:55
  Marvel movies because he's into
• 19:56
  Spider-Man. is into the MCU, but
• 19:58
  anything outside of that, like believe
• 19:59
  it or not, you know the movie National
• 20:01
  Treasure, not an '8s movie, Nicholas
• 20:02
  Cage, he actually sat and watched that
• 20:04
  was like, "Wow, that was awesome." But
• 20:07
  movies like The Goonies, he won't sit
• 20:09
  and watch it. I don't understand.
• 20:10
  >> Well, the Goonies was a slower burn,
• 20:12
  right? So again, when we talk about
• 20:13
  nostalgia and what we were familiar with
• 20:15
  as kids, movies could take time to tell
• 20:18
  the story over you 90 minutes, 100
• 20:21
  minutes, whatever it was, cuz we'd sit
• 20:23
  there for 10, 15 minutes just watching
• 20:25
  the setup. Uh cuz we had nothing else to
• 20:27
  do. What are we going to do? We had no
• 20:28
  smartphones or tablets and computers to
• 20:31
  get busy with.
• 20:33
  >> All right, Lynx, you're up next, man.
• 20:35
  What's your next one from the 80s that
• 20:36
  we would love? Yeah. So, this one is is
• 20:40
  a movie that I hold near and dear to my
• 20:42
  heart. It's probably one of the only
• 20:44
  emotional movies on this list. Every
• 20:46
  time I watch it, brings a tear to my
• 20:48
  eye. And that's Maniac Cop. Maniac Cop.
• 20:52
  The greatest slasher movie that no one's
• 20:55
  ever heard of.
• 20:55
  >> Maniac Cop. Hold on. I've never seen
• 20:58
  that. Never seen it.
• 20:59
  >> You've never seen Maniac Cop, sir. Wow.
• 21:02
  >> Tell us tell us what makes this thing so
• 21:03
  awesome.
• 21:04
  >> I'm just going to blow this whole movie
• 21:05
  up. So, it's a slasher film, but it's uh
• 21:08
  it's probably and it's it's heralded.
• 21:11
  This is not just me talking. Other
• 21:12
  people are saying this as well. So, it's
• 21:14
  probably like the greatest be movie of
• 21:16
  all time. So, it's basically a killer
• 21:18
  cop going around killing people
• 21:21
  and it's phenomenal. But the thing is
• 21:24
  like he was a so he was a cop on the
• 21:26
  force. His name is Matt Cordell. He was
• 21:28
  like an old school cop like you know,
• 21:30
  technobs.
• 21:32
  and he wind up going to jail for like
• 21:35
  excessive force. So he he did it one too
• 21:37
  many times. So they put him in jail and
• 21:40
  then the uh criminals that he put in
• 21:42
  there winded up they ended up attacking
• 21:45
  him and leaving him for dead. But then
• 21:48
  the like the guy in the morg brings him
• 21:49
  back or whatever the case is and then he
• 21:51
  goes out and he's he's killing all these
• 21:54
  people uh for cause and some for not.
• 21:58
  It's a it's a funny movie. Bruce
• 22:00
  Campbell is in it. So, it's the the
• 22:01
  first movie and I and it might be the
• 22:04
  >> I'm wrong in saying that, but Bruce
• 22:05
  Campbell is in it and he doesn't have
• 22:07
  any creative input into the movie,
• 22:09
  right? So, he had creative input with
• 22:11
  Evil Dead. He helped write it with Sam
• 22:12
  Ramy and stuff like that. And he
• 22:14
  actually hates this movie, but he's
• 22:16
  great in this movie because it's not the
• 22:18
  typical slapstick funny um Bruce
• 22:20
  Campbell. He's actually playing um his
• 22:23
  role straight and it's it's amazing for
• 22:26
  a B horror movie. I'm surprised like
• 22:28
  this doesn't get as much love as I I
• 22:31
  hope it would. Matt Cordell, the Maniac
• 22:33
  Cop.
• 22:34
  >> I got I mean, we we got two movies so
• 22:36
  far that I haven't seen. This is is also
• 22:38
  great because that's part of the reason
• 22:39
  why I wanted to do this. I wanted to see
• 22:41
  if someone else would give me something
• 22:42
  that I've never seen before. So, so far
• 22:43
  I have two. That's awesome.
• 22:45
  >> Yeah,
• 22:46
  >> it's a trilogy, by the way. So,
• 22:47
  Lawrence, if you're going to watch this,
• 22:48
  man, set aside some time.
• 22:50
  >> You saw that? You saw it? Maniac.
• 22:51
  >> No, no, no. I'm I'm looking it up right
• 22:53
  now. I want to check it out. So, forget
• 22:55
  about forget about No, it's it's there's
• 22:57
  only two of them. There's only two.
• 23:00
  >> So, part two, it's like a um one of like
• 23:03
  how Halloween one and two, like
• 23:04
  Halloween 2 literally picks up right
• 23:06
  after Halloween one, the sound the same
• 23:08
  night. That's how Maniac Cop 2 is. It
• 23:10
  literally picks up um at the same point
• 23:12
  uh that part one ends. Part three is an
• 23:15
  abomination. It is like horrible. Like
• 23:18
  horrible, horrible. Quick cash grab. But
• 23:20
  yeah, I highly recommend this movie. And
• 23:22
  I'm not just saying it for me. Like it
• 23:24
  it is a good good movie. So everybody
• 23:27
  that I tell I cuz they hear Maniac Cop.
• 23:29
  Yo, that [ __ ] sounds trash. But then
• 23:31
  they watch it and they'll be like, "Yo,
• 23:33
  that movie was legit." Like it legit is
• 23:36
  like awesome.
• 23:37
  >> Go back to then. When? Now. Now. Now. I
• 23:40
  can't. Why? We missed it when just now.
• 23:42
  >> All right. Here's one that uh Oh my god.
• 23:45
  We talked about um Little Shop of
• 23:47
  Horrors and DJ Links. You've memorized
• 23:48
  it. Uh same for me with this movie.
• 23:51
  Space balls. M that was on my list.
• 23:54
  >> Never heard of it. Oh, was it really?
• 23:56
  >> Yep.
• 23:57
  >> So, I don't get too excited over movies,
• 23:59
  but when I saw the announcement for
• 24:01
  Space Balls 2 finally after what, 30
• 24:04
  some odd years, um, oh my god,
• 24:08
  what can I say about Space Balls that
• 24:11
  everyone who's seen this movie hasn't
• 24:13
  already said. Um, oh my god, the humor
• 24:16
  was so stupidly good.
• 24:18
  >> Yes. um that 80s comedy, Rick Morannis,
• 24:22
  you know, the Chvy Chase, uh Rodney
• 24:24
  Dangerfield, that that era of comedy, it
• 24:26
  just works so well. And Mel Brooks
• 24:28
  brought them all together and made one
• 24:31
  of the best comedies still to this day.
• 24:34
  Like when you watch it now, yeah, it's
• 24:35
  goofy. It's corny, but oh my god, it's
• 24:38
  it's so stupid. It's good. So, I'm
• 24:40
  assuming like Maniac Cop is maybe such a
• 24:44
  I don't know if it's bad, but it's a
• 24:46
  such a great B movie, right?
• 24:48
  movie of all time.
• 24:52
  >> Yeah. So, come on, man. And on top of
• 24:54
  the the fact that it's just a Star Wars
• 24:56
  spoof and they did it so well. Uh, and
• 24:59
  they ripped on it so well.
• 25:01
  >> I mean, just look at the names. Lord
• 25:03
  Helmet, Lonear,
• 25:06
  Princess Vespa,
• 25:08
  uh,
• 25:09
  >> Barf. Yeah. I mean, just unreal stuff.
• 25:12
  And Mel Brooks is so underrated because
• 25:13
  I his uh one of his movies is my
• 25:16
  all-time favorite movie and that's Young
• 25:17
  Frankenstein. I don't know if anybody's
• 25:18
  seen it. I don't I don't know if it's
• 25:20
  late 70s, early 80s, so I didn't put on
• 25:22
  a list just cuz I didn't know when it
• 25:23
  came out, but like he Blazing Saddles is
• 25:25
  another one for Mel Brooks that he's
• 25:27
  phenomenal. But Space Balls is like
• 25:29
  >> the 1980s quintessential comedy in my
• 25:32
  opinion because they're also making fun
• 25:34
  of like you said Star Wars. It's made it
• 25:35
  even better. Yeah, I think it's the
• 25:38
  greatest parody movie of all time. Like
• 25:40
  bar none like the greatest.
• 25:42
  >> And the weird thing is I saw Space Balls
• 25:45
  before I saw Star Wars.
• 25:47
  >> Oh, nice.
• 25:48
  >> Wow.
• 25:48
  >> For me, I had no idea what they were
• 25:50
  paring and then as a kid I found it
• 25:52
  hilarious.
• 25:53
  >> Oh, so you didn't you didn't even know
• 25:55
  what Star Wars was. You watched Space
• 25:57
  Balls. Love that. And then when you
• 25:58
  watch Star Wars, like why are they
• 26:00
  remaking this comedy?
• 26:01
  >> No. So, it's funny because I I watched
• 26:03
  the original Star Wars when it was
• 26:04
  released for like the 20th anniversary
• 26:07
  like in the late 90s. That's the first
• 26:08
  time I saw it. But I had seen the other
• 26:10
  ones on TV, but yet for me like Space
• 26:13
  Balls is just amazing. I was watching it
• 26:15
  uh some clips of it on YouTube the other
• 26:17
  day because of the whole the alien show
• 26:19
  that's on now. So, it just reminded me
• 26:21
  of like the diner scene was like,
• 26:22
  "Hello, my baby." So, I was just running
• 26:24
  that back the other day like legit on
• 26:26
  Friday.
• 26:27
  >> Space the flamethrower,
• 26:30
  >> you know? the fact that they're paying
• 26:32
  off that joke for Space Balls the sequel
• 26:35
  this this far um past the release date.
• 26:39
  Oh my god. Um look, I'll be honest. I
• 26:42
  I'm not a big fan of reboots, right? Um
• 26:45
  >> but this one, it's not a reboot. I'm not
• 26:47
  I'm not too fan of sequels, you know,
• 26:49
  trying uh what is it? Trying to force a
• 26:52
  sequel just to make some money. this
• 26:54
  one. If Mel Brooks is attached and he's
• 26:57
  not just doing this as a cash grab and
• 26:58
  he truly wants to just make the sequel
• 27:00
  that should have been made decades ago,
• 27:02
  I I'm excited as all hell to watch this
• 27:04
  thing.
• 27:04
  >> He's like he's like a hundred years old
• 27:06
  though. That's the only thing that
• 27:07
  worries me. He's old. Rick Morannis is
• 27:08
  old, so I don't know. Yeah,
• 27:10
  >> I'm sure it'll be good, but I don't know
• 27:11
  if they can capture the exact magic that
• 27:14
  they had in that movie original, but
• 27:15
  hopefully they can.
• 27:17
  >> Yeah, I mean, and John, you don't have
• 27:18
  John Candy. I mean, that's that's a big
• 27:20
  big loss. Um, so but we'll see, man.
• 27:23
  We'll see. But when you're talking about
• 27:25
  those Mel Brooks movies of the 80s, oh
• 27:26
  my god, Blazing Saddles, Young
• 27:28
  Frankenstein, Space Balls, Robin Hood,
• 27:31
  Men in Tights. Oh my god. If you guys
• 27:33
  haven't watched that stupidly good
• 27:35
  movie. That's where like they're the
• 27:37
  predecessor to Dumb and Dumber.
• 27:42
  [Music]
• 27:48
  >> All right. All right, so I'm up and I
• 27:49
  have a a wild one because you know
• 27:51
  outside of links bring it up maniac cop.
• 27:53
  This is one I think I think both of you
• 27:55
  have seen but I'm not too sure.
• 27:57
  >> Blood sport
• 27:59
  Jean Vanam when he goes to the kumate
• 28:01
  and fights in the kumate. I was obsessed
• 28:04
  with this movie as a kid that and
• 28:06
  kickboxer he was in another kickboxer
• 28:08
  later on but blood sport was the
• 28:10
  original Frank Dukes going to fight in
• 28:13
  the kumate being chased by the cops from
• 28:15
  the US. I was every time it's on I had
• 28:18
  to freaking watch it. It was like it's
• 28:19
  such a great movie. Uh Overcoming the
• 28:22
  the big Asian guy. I don't even remember
• 28:23
  what his name was again. Tong name. No,
• 28:26
  no, Tong Po was
• 28:28
  Boang.
• 28:29
  >> That's it. All right. So, I was obsessed
• 28:31
  with this movie. Every time I saw it, I
• 28:33
  had to freaking watch it. But another
• 28:34
  action movie makes the list. Blood
• 28:37
  Sport. What do you guys think?
• 28:39
  >> Yeah. I mean, that was one of those
• 28:40
  movies that when it would come on in on
• 28:41
  channel 11, no matter what you was
• 28:42
  doing, you would stop and you would
• 28:44
  never catch it from the beginning. you
• 28:45
  would just put on the TV and it was
• 28:47
  there and you just had to stop.
• 28:48
  >> It made me want to do whatever fighting
• 28:51
  style that was. I don't even know. But I
• 28:53
  I loved it. And Bolo Yang is so
• 28:55
  underrated to me. Like when I saw him, I
• 28:58
  was like I was scared of that dude. So
• 29:00
  he was in that and he was in um the one
• 29:02
  where they were twins. Dope man. Blood
• 29:05
  Sport Kickboxer as well. Just amazing
• 29:08
  like action movies, man. per dropped at
• 29:10
  the perfect time too where you know in
• 29:12
  the 80s everything like that was just
• 29:14
  embraced.
• 29:15
  >> Yeah.
• 29:15
  >> You know when you talk about Bolo man so
• 29:17
  Bolo was in Enter of the Dragon right
• 29:18
  with Bruce Lee. So that's where he made
• 29:20
  his first big I think American debut.
• 29:23
  >> But Bolo at the time when it came to
• 29:24
  martial arts movie he was one of the
• 29:26
  villains. So it's kind of like
• 29:28
  >> I I keep forgetting his name but he's
• 29:30
  the Japanese guy that appears in every
• 29:32
  Japanese role. He was in John Wick, he
• 29:35
  was in Marvel movies. He was in Last
• 29:37
  Samurai. But um yeah, you if you see his
• 29:40
  face, you'll you'll know. But Bolo was
• 29:42
  kind of that for8s martial arts movies.
• 29:45
  Um and Blood Sport, like I'm with you,
• 29:47
  man. Blood Sport was an awesome movie,
• 29:49
  but it was one of those where I would
• 29:50
  catch it on TV. So I've never watched
• 29:52
  this thing all the way through in
• 29:54
  sequence. I would always catch bits and
• 29:56
  pieces of it.
• 29:57
  >> And so, but doing watching it that way,
• 30:00
  I've watched the whole thing. But oh my
• 30:02
  god, when you talk about just fighting
• 30:04
  the kumite, oh, life or death situation.
• 30:06
  Oh my. It was John Club Vanam back then
• 30:10
  with his little splits that he always
• 30:12
  did. It's just awesome.
• 30:14
  >> He's probably doing a split right now.
• 30:16
  >> I might have to put him in the thumbnail
• 30:17
  of this one.
• 30:19
  >> Doing the split.
• 30:19
  >> Do it right there.
• 30:20
  >> Or put Bolo in his big old boobies.
• 30:23
  >> Yeah. Blowing snot rockets out of his
• 30:26
  nose.
• 30:28
  >> That's what I remember for that movie.
• 30:37
  So, this next one means a lot to me as
• 30:40
  well, just like the other ones. This is
• 30:41
  one that a lot of people I know had
• 30:44
  haven't seen yet, and that's Bad Boys
• 30:47
  with Shawn Penn.
• 30:50
  >> Oh, so you're not talk you're not
• 30:51
  talking about Will Smith, Martin
• 30:53
  Lawrence.
• 30:54
  >> No. So, it's it's Bad Boys. I think it
• 30:56
  came out in 83. So, Shawn Penn stars in
• 30:59
  it. is Sean Penn, Isai Morales, and
• 31:02
  they're all teenagers. So, they're all
• 31:04
  like street toughs, street punks, and
• 31:07
  Isai Morales does something to Oh, damn.
• 31:10
  I'm just like fast forwarding. Anyway,
• 31:12
  Shawn Penn goes to jail. So, it's about
• 31:14
  all these teenagers in like a spaford in
• 31:16
  like a jail and and that should be used
• 31:19
  as like scared straight of what goes
• 31:21
  down in there. So, Shawn Penn is there.
• 31:23
  Um, Isa Morales, who's the antag
• 31:25
  antagonist, he's outside in the world
• 31:27
  and then he winds up doing something to
• 31:29
  Shawn Penn's girl to get him sent to the
• 31:32
  same jail so that they can have a face
• 31:33
  off. It's amazing, man. Like, it's um
• 31:37
  you could see even back then how Shawn
• 31:40
  Penn was really young, how he's just a
• 31:42
  phenomenal actor. A young Clancy Brown
• 31:44
  is in it as well. It's just a phenomenal
• 31:47
  cast and it's a drama. It's a drama. So,
• 31:48
  it's not like a violent movie or
• 31:50
  anything like that. is just like a a a
• 31:52
  drama and it's it really hits home. I I
• 31:55
  out of all the movies on the list,
• 31:56
  that's probably the most serious one and
• 31:58
  I highly recommend it. If you haven't
• 32:00
  seen it, give it give it a chance. Like
• 32:02
  it's super dope.
• 32:03
  >> I haven't seen it. I definitely got to
• 32:05
  check that out. That sounds fantastic.
• 32:06
  You ever see it, Jin, or No,
• 32:08
  >> no, I haven't seen this one. I haven't
• 32:09
  even heard of this. Um Wow. I'm gonna
• 32:12
  check this out because if it's Sean
• 32:13
  Penn, I mean, back in the 80s, man, that
• 32:15
  guy I mean even now he's a great actor,
• 32:17
  but
• 32:18
  >> Yeah.
• 32:18
  >> Yeah. And so it was him, uh, like I
• 32:20
  said, him, Isa Morales, Clancy Brown, a
• 32:23
  couple of other actors that you'll see
• 32:24
  in there that went on to have like, um,
• 32:26
  great careers. It's dark, too. It's
• 32:28
  dark. It's gritty. It's like, it's like
• 32:31
  ' 80s, like legit. Like you look at that
• 32:32
  movie and it's like it just says '8s,
• 32:35
  the early 80s. So it was like that
• 32:36
  bridge almost coming out of the 70s
• 32:38
  where everything was like gritty and
• 32:40
  like street to the early 80s where um it
• 32:43
  continued.
• 32:44
  >> Oh wow. So kind of like a taxi driver.
• 32:47
  >> Yeah. the bridge between that and the
• 32:49
  80s movies.
• 32:50
  >> Yeah. Wow.
• 32:51
  >> Yeah.
• 32:52
  >> Wow.
• 32:52
  >> That's high expectations right there.
• 32:53
  Taxi Driver.
• 32:55
  >> All right, let me walk back.
• 32:58
  >> No, it's gritty like Taxi Driver. But
• 33:00
  it's it's a really good movie, man. Um,
• 33:02
  >> you heard it here, folks. DJ Link said
• 33:04
  that Bad Boys is better than Taxi
• 33:05
  Driver.
• 33:06
  >> Wait, leave this to us. It's too
• 33:08
  dangerous for you.
• 33:09
  >> Only one of us should go in there. I've
• 33:10
  had experience in this sort of thing. I
• 33:12
  know what I'm doing.
• 33:13
  >> I have a few. Um,
• 33:16
  all right. Let's do it. Willow.
• 33:20
  >> Wow. That's the one I didn't think I was
• 33:22
  going to bring up. Willow. Wow.
• 33:24
  >> Not the Disney Plus TV series that got
• 33:27
  erased from existence. Willow, the
• 33:30
  original Wicket Warick Val Kilmer movie.
• 33:33
  >> Um, oh my god. So, for for for me, what
• 33:38
  Willow was was the first real
• 33:40
  introduction to fantasy that I got into,
• 33:43
  right? Because before that, I think we
• 33:45
  had movies like Legend with Tom Cruz.
• 33:47
  Um, and then Never- Ending Story, which
• 33:49
  was also another great movie. Um, but
• 33:52
  this one was the first real true
• 33:54
  fantasy. I I love Conan, right? Uh, and
• 33:57
  Red Sonia and all that, but for me,
• 34:00
  Willow was a faster pace, so I think
• 34:03
  that's when action started to get faster
• 34:04
  and faster. Um, but everything from the
• 34:08
  character designs to the story of
• 34:11
  protecting this baby that's gonna
• 34:12
  overthrow the queen, you know, um,
• 34:15
  General is a General Kale with a skull
• 34:17
  helmet. Um, that design just I think
• 34:21
  that was the first time I character
• 34:22
  design really impacted me cuz I watched
• 34:24
  Star Wars as a kid, but I never really
• 34:26
  thought about the design of things.
• 34:28
  >> Um, but yeah, I just love that movie so
• 34:31
  much. And so when I saw what happened to
• 34:33
  the Disney Plus series, I was like,
• 34:36
  "Wow." Um, we had to bastardize bastard
• 34:39
  as a classic, but yeah, that's that's
• 34:42
  one of the top for me.
• 34:44
  >> So I I have I I remember seeing this
• 34:46
  movie, but it was so long ago I do not
• 34:49
  remember much. So I really can't comment
• 34:50
  it, but I remember like vaguely a few
• 34:53
  things here or there, but it wasn't my
• 34:54
  favorite growing up. It might have been
• 34:55
  like before. I probably saw it like
• 34:57
  really early and didn't like follow up
• 34:59
  and see it again. where I really really
• 35:01
  don't remember too much. But how about
• 35:02
  you, Len? You remember anything?
• 35:04
  >> I don't remember anything at all. I
• 35:05
  think I saw it on HBO when it was like
• 35:08
  the HBO premiere back in the day.
• 35:11
  >> And I I can't tell you. Like I I legit
• 35:14
  can't tell you. And I was a fantasy fan.
• 35:16
  So you you mentioned Legend, you
• 35:17
  mentioned Never Ending Story, Conan.
• 35:19
  Like I love all those movies, but for
• 35:21
  some reason I I can't say that I went
• 35:24
  back and watched Willow.
• 35:25
  >> Let some Aaron move things around.
• 35:29
  >> Yeah. Well, maybe my balls don't itch.
• 35:32
  >> All balls itch. It's a fact.
• 35:34
  >> All right. So, I'm going to throw you
• 35:36
  guys a really big curveball. All right.
• 35:38
  I'm going to give you a movie that I
• 35:40
  loved growing up, but I have no idea if
• 35:42
  you guys have seen it because it's not
• 35:43
  like a typical movie. All right.
• 35:45
  >> It's called Just One of the Guys. Uh,
• 35:47
  >> yes.
• 35:48
  >> All right. So, you haven't seen this?
• 35:50
  So, this movie is about this girl. She,
• 35:52
  you know, she's in high school and for
• 35:55
  some reason, I think she gets turned
• 35:56
  down for like she wrote a paper. she
• 35:58
  wanted to win some type of thing and she
• 35:59
  gets turned down because she wasn't a
• 36:02
  male. So, she ends up switching high
• 36:03
  schools and dresses as a male, got has
• 36:06
  everybody confused. She ends up meeting
• 36:09
  this guy in the new school to become
• 36:10
  really good friends and she starts to
• 36:12
  like fall in love with him at the end of
• 36:13
  the movie. And all the while everybody
• 36:15
  thinks she's a male except her brother
• 36:18
  and like maybe her friend. And the
• 36:20
  brother is the best [ __ ] part of the
• 36:21
  movie because the brother is like the
• 36:23
  typical high school guy and he's like,
• 36:26
  you know, he's like making fun of her.
• 36:28
  He's breaking her [ __ ] balls even
• 36:29
  though she's a woman. It's it's such a
• 36:31
  well done movie. And the best part of
• 36:33
  the movie I I'll give you two scenes.
• 36:34
  One is the end where she has to tell the
• 36:36
  guy that she loves at the end of the
• 36:38
  movie and she whips out a rack and it's
• 36:40
  probably one of the first times that
• 36:42
  I've seen a rack in my life and I'll
• 36:43
  never get
• 36:44
  >> They showed it.
• 36:45
  >> They showed it. Unbelievable. This 80s,
• 36:47
  brother, you know they're showing it.
• 36:48
  >> Yeah. Yeah.
• 36:49
  >> The second part was at one point in the
• 36:52
  movie her and her brother are talking
• 36:54
  about like just being a guy and she go
• 36:57
  he goes, "Show me how you scratch your
• 36:58
  balls to her." And she goes, she's
• 37:01
  scratching and she's like, she's like,
• 37:04
  he's like, "No, you're doing it all
• 37:05
  wrong." He's like, "Well, maybe my balls
• 37:07
  don't itch." He looks at her and goes,
• 37:08
  "All balls itch. It's a fact." I I'll
• 37:12
  never forget that line in my life. Such
• 37:15
  a great movie.
• 37:16
  >> Awesome. Oh my god. Do you know if it's
• 37:18
  streaming anywhere? Cuz I Yeah, this is
• 37:20
  another one I'm going to be checking
• 37:21
  out.
• 37:22
  >> Just I just Google it because it's such
• 37:24
  an entertaining movie. Such an
• 37:25
  interesting premise, too. But like the
• 37:27
  girl's cutesy. She's got short hair, but
• 37:28
  she's very cute.
• 37:29
  >> Um I just I was infatuated with that
• 37:31
  movie as a kid.
• 37:32
  >> Yeah, same. And uh my pause button was
• 37:36
  worked out on that.
• 37:38
  So that was one of the first movies that
• 37:40
  I um that we had that it showed boobs.
• 37:44
  It wasn't even gratuitous or anything
• 37:46
  like that, but to a kid like I was just
• 37:49
  like uh enamored. Um but it's it's
• 37:53
  actually a really good fun movie.
• 37:55
  >> It is. It's And the brother is
• 37:56
  hysterical in the whole movie. He
• 37:58
  answers the phone. He's like, "Hey, [ __ ]
• 38:00
  you. Do all the" and he's like, "Mom
• 38:01
  says hi." And hangs up the phone.
• 38:04
  >> He was insane. That movie was just It
• 38:06
  was an It was all 80s, right? That movie
• 38:08
  is perfect 80s.
• 38:09
  >> Yeah. That can't be made today.
• 38:11
  >> Yeah. He did nothing too after that. I'm
• 38:13
  shocked. I haven't seen him in anything.
• 38:16
  >> Yeah, that movie was so fun. Now I want
• 38:18
  to watch it.
• 38:19
  >> Yeah.
• 38:19
  >> And I'm just going to pause just for all
• 38:21
  time sake.
• 38:22
  >> Just do it when your wife's not there.
• 38:24
  >> No. [ __ ] that.
• 38:25
  >> You made me watch Goonies. Now we're
• 38:27
  watching this. No.
• 38:28
  >> Yeah.
• 38:29
  [Music]
• 38:38
  So, um I'm gonna go with super simple
• 38:42
  hero story as Jyn mentioned earlier.
• 38:45
  Cobra with Sylvester Stallone.
• 38:47
  >> Oh, yeah.
• 38:48
  >> Cobra is my favorite Sylvester Stallone
• 38:50
  movie bar none.
• 38:52
  >> Really?
• 38:52
  >> More than more than Rocky.
• 38:54
  >> More than Rocky.
• 38:55
  >> Wow.
• 38:56
  >> Wow. More than Rambo. Rambo 2.
• 38:58
  >> Yep. I I for some reason I just love
• 39:00
  Cobra. Right. suit. First and foremost,
• 39:02
  he's badass. He has a toothpick in his
• 39:04
  mouth at all times. Come on. Like,
• 39:06
  what's more badass than that? The
• 39:07
  shades, the car, which is in insane.
• 39:11
  He's just a, you know, a cop and then
• 39:14
  it's it's a simple story, right? So,
• 39:16
  it's the cop, the girl, bad guy. Brian
• 39:18
  Thompson as the night uh the night
• 39:21
  slasher was it? Or the nightstalker? I
• 39:23
  think it's the night slasher was
• 39:25
  amazing. Like, he's just an evil bad guy
• 39:27
  for the sake of being an evil bad guy.
• 39:29
  There's no backstory. There's nothing.
• 39:31
  It's just action and just badasserie, if
• 39:35
  that's a word. Like legit, this movie is
• 39:37
  just like badass from beginning to end.
• 39:39
  I love it.
• 39:40
  >> Take me.
• 39:43
  >> I remember watching that movie for the
• 39:45
  first time. You have to you had to watch
• 39:47
  anything Stallone in that that time
• 39:49
  frame from 80s to like late 80s because
• 39:51
  he was in everything. Not only just the
• 39:53
  Rocky movies which late 70s, early 80s,
• 39:55
  stuff like that, but Over the Top, Tango
• 39:59
  and Cash, Cobra,
• 40:01
  >> what else? There's a ton. I'm I'm
• 40:03
  missing a ton there, but I'm just going
• 40:05
  off the top of my mind. Oh, Over the
• 40:07
  Top. I said that that was one that I I
• 40:09
  absolutely love. One of my favorite
• 40:10
  Stallone movies, but Cobra was awesome.
• 40:12
  100%.
• 40:13
  >> Yeah. And and when people talk about
• 40:14
  like his filmography, like they [ __ ] all
• 40:16
  over Cobra be because it's so like
• 40:19
  plotwise is super paper thin, but it's
• 40:21
  just it's just awesome. Like the action
• 40:23
  is awesome. The chase scene with his uh
• 40:25
  what is it? Uh uh Seville, whatever.
• 40:27
  >> Yeah.
• 40:28
  >> Phenomenal. And uh Bridget Nielsen at
• 40:31
  the time, like she was amazing. It's
• 40:33
  just a dope movie, man. It's fun. It's
• 40:35
  just super fun. cheating on a movie like
• 40:37
  Cobra is kind of like taking advantage
• 40:40
  of a 5-year-old because I mean, you know
• 40:42
  what a 5-year-old's capable of. You know
• 40:43
  what, you know, they're going to mess
• 40:44
  up, right? Cobra, you know, it was just
• 40:47
  it was popcorn flick. Like, it was a
• 40:49
  true popcorn flick taking one of the
• 40:51
  hottest stars of the 80s, right? All of
• 40:54
  all time in terms of action movies
• 40:56
  >> and just making a movie about killing
• 40:59
  people. Yeah. And that's a movie that it
• 41:02
  bombed at the theater, but it caught a
• 41:05
  cult following on VHS.
• 41:07
  >> I think we I think we know what kind of
• 41:09
  like movies Lynx was into like growing
• 41:11
  up. We wanted to [ __ ] people up, man.
• 41:14
  >> Yeah. Legit. No. And again, like all
• 41:16
  these movies, these are from my mom. So
• 41:17
  what happened was we didn't have in in
• 41:19
  our neighborhood, we grew up we grew up
• 41:20
  in Bedstey, Brooklyn, right? So we had a
• 41:24
  video store, but it was like super
• 41:25
  expensive. So what we would do, there
• 41:26
  was a guy in the neighborhood that would
• 41:28
  record movies off of cable. We didn't
• 41:30
  have tickets at the time. He would just
• 41:32
  record movies and you would rent the
• 41:33
  movies from him and on each VCR tape
• 41:36
  there were three movies.
• 41:37
  >> So one of them it was that's how I
• 41:39
  remember it was
• 41:40
  >> Oh he recorded on SLP mode, man.
• 41:42
  >> Yeah. So it was like Predator um to this
• 41:45
  day I remember it was Predator, Maniac
• 41:47
  Cop, and Out of Bounds.
• 41:49
  [Music]
• 41:54
  >> All right. So, uh, I try to keep all
• 41:57
  those big mega franchises out of this.
• 42:01
  Uh, Lawrence saw a little preview, but
• 42:04
  I'm going to say it. My favorite Star
• 42:06
  Wars movie, hands down, Return of the
• 42:09
  Jedi. Yes, that trumps Empire Strikes
• 42:12
  Back for so many reasons, but Jedi,
• 42:17
  take take the uh Ewoks out of it,
• 42:21
  >> right?
• 42:21
  >> I love Ewoks growing up as a kid. I
• 42:23
  don't know why people [ __ ] on them.
• 42:24
  >> I know. I didn't I didn't mind it. Um
• 42:26
  and I I know people hated the Ewoks.
• 42:29
  Even to this day, they hate the Ewoks,
• 42:30
  but I didn't mind them that much. But
• 42:32
  when you think about everything we got
• 42:34
  in Jedi, right? Um in terms of the
• 42:38
  character designs, the story reveals, I
• 42:41
  mean, Leia finally finding out that he's
• 42:44
  she's Luke's sister, seeing Vader with
• 42:47
  his helmet off. I mean, um, the royal
• 42:51
  guards, uh, Slave Leia, come on. Come
• 42:54
  on. Right. Like, uh,
• 42:56
  >> uh, well, yeah, Jabba the Hut.
• 42:59
  >> As a kid, that movie was so packed. Um,
• 43:03
  that I remember watching Empire, not
• 43:05
  when it came out. I watched it on VHS.
• 43:07
  >> Mhm.
• 43:08
  >> Uh, and thinking, "This is really cool.
• 43:09
  I love Star Wars. It was fun." Oh, Vader
• 43:11
  is Luke's dad. Spoiler alert. Um, but
• 43:15
  uh, you know, that was fun. But when I
• 43:17
  was watching Jedi, I just remember every
• 43:20
  every time the scene changed, there was
• 43:22
  something cool. Jabba's Palace on
• 43:24
  Tatooine. Uh you're off in the Emperor's
• 43:26
  throne room. You're you're on Endor. You
• 43:29
  got speeder bikes. Oh my god, the
• 43:30
  speeder bikes. I that speeder bikes
• 43:32
  might be one of my favorite vehicles in
• 43:35
  the Star Wars franchise. Next to X-
• 43:36
  Wings, the speeder bike with a biker
• 43:38
  scout.
• 43:39
  >> Yeah. Everything about that movie to me
• 43:41
  was so fun from beginning to end. And
• 43:42
  then at the end, you got to see the
• 43:43
  Force Ghost. you saw Yoda and Ben and
• 43:46
  Anakin for the first time. I mean, there
• 43:47
  was so much about this franchise and I I
• 43:49
  know I'm going to catch a lot of [ __ ]
• 43:51
  for it for people who say Empire's
• 43:53
  number one, but I stand by that.
• 43:57
  >> I I don't know. I I I'm not a huge Star
• 44:00
  Wars fan. Obviously, I've seen them all,
• 44:01
  but like growing up as a kid, like I
• 44:02
  feel like the first two were were big
• 44:04
  deals and the third one was like I
• 44:06
  remember I remember that one the most
• 44:08
  and I was most excited for the Ewoks,
• 44:09
  but I really never was like crazy about
• 44:12
  the entire franchise. So, I'm not I know
• 44:14
  I get killed all the time for saying how
• 44:16
  how could you not I just like to me like
• 44:18
  I enjoyed a lot other movies better like
• 44:21
  DJ Link's more of like a you know a you
• 44:23
  know a crime I don't want to say horror
• 44:26
  but like beat them up type of movie or
• 44:29
  you know Maniac but for me I was always
• 44:32
  into like the comedies and like
• 44:33
  occasionally like a sports movie
• 44:35
  something like that. That was just more
• 44:36
  me.
• 44:45
  All right, so it's back around to me and
• 44:47
  I had to mention this one because I feel
• 44:49
  like there was a fever going on in the
• 44:51
  1980s with this movie and that's
• 44:53
  Gremlins.
• 44:54
  >> Gremlins to me was like like the dream
• 44:56
  cuz I grew up like a monster kid. like I
• 44:58
  like monsters and just the story behind
• 45:01
  Gremlins about like this guy goes to
• 45:03
  Chinatown and basically buys this little
• 45:07
  animal that has all these little rules
• 45:09
  to it and none of the rules get followed
• 45:11
  and all of a sudden he bursts these
• 45:13
  other MW that turn into gremlins have to
• 45:15
  eat after midnight. It was such a crazy
• 45:17
  thing, but it became huge in the 1980s.
• 45:21
  And I remember loving the Gremlins, like
• 45:24
  not just the Mwai, but the actual
• 45:25
  disgusting Gremlins themselves, Stripe,
• 45:28
  the the woman Gremlin, I don't even know
• 45:30
  what the hell her name was, but the fact
• 45:31
  that they actually had a sequel. I'm
• 45:33
  actually hearing they're going to do
• 45:34
  another one.
• 45:35
  >> So, all these great ' 80s IPs, Gremlins,
• 45:38
  Space Balls, we mentioned one before, I
• 45:41
  forgot what it was, Goonies, that
• 45:42
  they're going to do another one finally.
• 45:44
  So, the Gremlins is one for me that like
• 45:46
  every time I see it's on again another
• 45:48
  great Spielberg movie, I always have to
• 45:50
  watch it.
• 45:52
  >> Yeah, for me it's we watch it every
• 45:53
  Christmas. It's it's on our our
• 45:55
  Christmas list, our Christmas viewing
• 45:57
  that Rudolph the Rena's reindeer that
• 46:00
  it's just perfect. And I I say that a
• 46:01
  lot with these 80s movies, but I don't
• 46:03
  know. Maybe it's the nostalgia goggles
• 46:05
  or whatever, but for me it's just
• 46:06
  perfect. And it was scary back then. It
• 46:08
  wasn't just like well cutesy like
• 46:10
  >> cuz it's like you see cutesy little
• 46:11
  Gizmo and stuff and then when the
• 46:13
  Gremlins come out Stripe it's just like
• 46:14
  yo what the hell? Um it's just a it's
• 46:17
  just a good good ass movie man and I'm
• 46:19
  kind of like h when I hear that they're
• 46:21
  making a a sequel to it like all these
• 46:24
  years later it's like where have the
• 46:26
  Gremlins been this entire time.
• 46:27
  >> That's the whole thing. You want to know
• 46:28
  where they've been, right? It's been so
• 46:30
  freaking long since they actually did
• 46:31
  another one that we have to see like
• 46:33
  what's been going on the past 30 plus
• 46:35
  years.
• 46:35
  >> I take it back. I'm sold.
• 46:39
  Yeah, Gremlins was again, we're talking
• 46:41
  about the the special effects of the
• 46:43
  80s. Um, man, it looks so cool when you
• 46:46
  saw when you saw those little fur balls
• 46:49
  popping off his back at night.
• 46:51
  >> Um,
• 46:53
  I know that kind of stuff creeped me
• 46:54
  out. So, we're talking about it being
• 46:56
  pretty scary, but when I saw those
• 46:57
  things, you know, evolving and growing,
• 46:59
  oh, it was gross, but in a good way.
• 47:02
  Because I'd be one of those kids I'd be
• 47:03
  doing this and watching through my
• 47:05
  fingers. Um, yeah, Gremlins has to be
• 47:09
  the the fact that you watch it every
• 47:10
  Christmas. I never even thought about
• 47:12
  that, but it's something I might have to
• 47:13
  do with my kids.
• 47:15
  >> Watch it every Christmas movie, though.
• 47:18
  It takes place around that time.
• 47:20
  >> Am I weird for that? Like,
• 47:22
  >> no. No,
• 47:23
  >> I feel like I'm being judged.
• 47:24
  >> It's like Die Hard is a Christmas movie,
• 47:26
  too. All the Die Hards are Christmas
• 47:27
  movies.
• 47:28
  >> Yeah, same.
• 47:29
  >> Back to the the the horror piece of it.
• 47:31
  Uh, super scary when Stripe at the end
• 47:34
  when he falls into like the fountain and
• 47:36
  then comes out and he's like all like
• 47:38
  Emil from Robocop is like insane.
• 47:42
  >> Oh man, Robocop, another great Asian
• 47:44
  movie.
• 47:44
  >> Yeah, I was going to say on that is the
• 47:46
  perfect like you know segue into this.
• 47:48
  We've already been on an hour. So what
• 47:50
  we're going to do now is just basically
• 47:51
  go around the horn and talk about and
• 47:52
  not talk about mention other movies from
• 47:55
  the time period in the 1980s which you
• 47:56
  love because honestly we we could
• 47:58
  probably go on about all our movies like
• 48:00
  three hours. But I think a podcast would
• 48:02
  be a little bit too long. Maybe we'll do
• 48:03
  another one of these at some point. But
• 48:04
  for now, let's go around the horn and
• 48:06
  just we'll keep going until we can't
• 48:08
  name one that we absolutely love. All
• 48:10
  right. Does that sound good?
• 48:11
  >> Let's go.
• 48:12
  >> All right, Link. So, we're going to
• 48:13
  start with you again.
• 48:15
  >> The Never- Ending Story.
• 48:17
  >> Oh, nice. Very nice.
• 48:19
  >> That was on my list, too.
• 48:21
  >> That's trauma right there, man.
• 48:23
  >> 100%. I'll tra you. The the horse I
• 48:26
  forget the horse's name. Oh, no. That's
• 48:28
  it. our taxes.
• 48:30
  >> All right, Jen, you
• 48:32
  >> all right? Oh, can't believe we haven't
• 48:33
  talked about this one. Ghostbusters
• 48:37
  >> another one on my list as well. That
• 48:39
  that Ghostbusters like took over the 80s
• 48:41
  as well. Like again, they did a third
• 48:43
  one, but it took them 30 plus years to
• 48:45
  do it and then it stunk.
• 48:46
  >> Yeah, for me I'm going Police Academy
• 48:48
  was one that I always found comical.
• 48:50
  >> Classic.
• 48:50
  >> A lot a lot of stupid characters, but uh
• 48:52
  always something I found funny. Mahoney,
• 48:56
  all 15 sequels or what, however many
• 48:58
  dozens they've done.
• 49:00
  >> Um, for me, I'm going to go Scarface.
• 49:03
  So, I I fell in love with Scarface. I
• 49:05
  was just like, super criminals that are
• 49:07
  Hispanic like me, I'm in.
• 49:09
  >> Oh, yeah.
• 49:10
  >> Classic. Classic.
• 49:12
  >> All right, here's one big Tom H.
• 49:16
  Dude, I always love that movie growing
• 49:18
  up as a kid because as a kid like you
• 49:20
  want you can't wait to get to be an
• 49:21
  adult and like just the fact that this
• 49:24
  kid made a wish, became big and then had
• 49:26
  to deal with all the [ __ ] that he went
• 49:27
  through. It was just it was such a good
• 49:29
  movie. Such a great 80s movie. Wow.
• 49:31
  >> Fantastic. Uh for me, I'm going die
• 49:34
  hard. Love John Mlan. All of them. All
• 49:36
  three were fantastic, but the original
• 49:38
  was in the 80s.
• 49:39
  >> That's right. Anyone who says he's just
• 49:42
  a normal dude and how does he do all
• 49:43
  that stuff over the three movies? Just
• 49:45
  just take a seat. Just take a seat.
• 49:46
  Watch this thing.
• 49:47
  >> We talked about like action stars. How
• 49:49
  did we not mention Bruce Willis because
• 49:50
  he was fantastic.
• 49:52
  >> It's funny. For some reason, I forget
• 49:53
  that Die Hard came out in the late 80s.
• 49:56
  >> Yeah.
• 49:57
  >> Um for me, I'm going to go with The Last
• 50:00
  American Virgin. So, it's it's kind of
• 50:02
  like up the same alley as just one of
• 50:04
  the guys with with Gary and they fall in
• 50:06
  love, high school kids, and there's
• 50:08
  there's an abortion involved. It's
• 50:10
  probably the most like heartbreaking
• 50:12
  ending to a movie, like to like a teen
• 50:14
  drama movie ever.
• 50:16
  >> Great pick.
• 50:18
  >> Oh, wow. All right. Stand by Me.
• 50:21
  >> That was another one that was had a long
• 50:23
  list. Yeah, absolutely.
• 50:25
  >> Freaking fantastic movie. I think if
• 50:27
  you're again, if you're This is one of
• 50:28
  them movies like The Goonies. If you're
• 50:29
  a young boy, you'll love that movie.
• 50:32
  >> Yeah, the coming of age tale. I mean,
• 50:34
  it's one that I'm going to try to watch
• 50:36
  with my son when he gets old enough. But
• 50:38
  yeah, great movie.
• 50:40
  >> Uh, for me, I'm shocked we didn't
• 50:43
  mention this one. The Karate Kid.
• 50:45
  >> Oh my god, how did that How did that not
• 50:48
  come up?
• 50:48
  >> Yeah, Mr. Miyagi was everybody's best
• 50:51
  friend, man. Even now, like all these
• 50:53
  years later with Cobra Kai, did you
• 50:54
  watch that?
• 50:55
  >> No.
• 50:56
  >> Oh, dude, it is it is so cheesy good.
• 51:00
  It's fantastic. But the original Karate
• 51:01
  Kid trilogy was one of my faves.
• 51:04
  >> Yeah, I have a lovehate relationship
• 51:06
  with The Karate Kid. Like my real name
• 51:07
  is Daniel. So once The Karate Kid came
• 51:09
  out, I was Daniel Son. Like even to this
• 51:12
  day, people still call me Daniel Son,
• 51:13
  which is crazy.
• 51:14
  >> Oh my god.
• 51:15
  >> At least they don't call you Miyagi.
• 51:17
  >> That's true. That's true.
• 51:20
  >> Snap for me. And this is another one of
• 51:22
  those pause moments. A Nightmare on Elm
• 51:25
  Street Part Three, which I think is the
• 51:27
  best Freddy Krueger movie hands down,
• 51:28
  dude.
• 51:29
  >> 100%. The Dream Master, right?
• 51:31
  >> Yeah, the Dream Master.
• 51:32
  >> Unbelievable, dude.
• 51:33
  >> No, wrong. Not the Dream Master. I'm
• 51:34
  sorry. The Dream Warriors. Dream
• 51:36
  Warriors, right? That's it. The Dream
• 51:37
  Warriors when he turns into that big
• 51:39
  thing and snake and is eating the girl.
• 51:41
  Oh my god. I I was like that was my
• 51:43
  thing as a kid. I loved horror movies.
• 51:45
  So like
• 51:46
  >> I'm surprised we didn't mention that
• 51:47
  earlier, but I'm with you, man. Freddy
• 51:49
  Krueger was the [ __ ]
• 51:50
  >> Yeah. And for me at the time, like cuz
• 51:52
  you want all the people to die, like all
• 51:54
  the young kids to die like and and this
• 51:56
  they they were warriors. They were all
• 51:58
  like tough and then fighting back. So
• 52:00
  easily the best Freddy Krueger movie.
• 52:01
  >> The one thing I want to add is like who
• 52:04
  thought of this [ __ ] character? the
• 52:05
  guy that that attacks you when you're
• 52:07
  asleep with knives on his hands as a
• 52:10
  glove. Like like who the f thinks of
• 52:12
  this, man. Wes Craven. I I know it is
• 52:13
  Wes Craven. That's just nuts to me. It's
• 52:15
  It's insane.
• 52:16
  >> Yeah, I think in moviewise uh and I'm
• 52:21
  sorry to over talk. Um I think Freddy
• 52:22
  Krueger is probably one of the best
• 52:24
  concepts ever and the concept for
• 52:26
  Terminator is one of the best concepts
• 52:28
  ever. Like the time travel to give life
• 52:31
  to yourself to send your like it's just
• 52:33
  crazy that time loop. I agree.
• 52:36
  >> Yeah, man. [ __ ] with you in your
• 52:37
  dreams, that's the worst, man.
• 52:39
  >> You can't sleep.
• 52:42
  >> All right. Um, here's another one. I And
• 52:44
  this is one I rewatch with my kids once
• 52:46
  a year. Uh, The Princess Bride.
• 52:49
  >> Great pick.
• 52:50
  >> That was a good one.
• 52:51
  >> Great pick. Wow. I didn't even think of
• 52:53
  that one. That is tremendous. And it
• 52:55
  absolutely is a fantastic fantastic 80s
• 52:57
  movie. I'm shocked I didn't even think
• 52:58
  of that. All right. For me, ET. Now, I
• 53:03
  was scared shitless of ET. I'm not going
• 53:06
  to lie to you. That [ __ ] freaked me out
• 53:07
  when when he when you first see him and
• 53:09
  he's running and he's screaming, man. I
• 53:10
  had to put my head under a blanket. I
• 53:12
  got freaked out. But that movie is
• 53:14
  classic. When he takes off with him on a
• 53:16
  bike, it's just there's nothing better
• 53:17
  at that moment.
• 53:18
  >> Yeah, that's the first movie that I
• 53:20
  remember like balling to.
• 53:21
  >> Yeah.
• 53:23
  >> Uh for me, I'm going to go with Legend,
• 53:26
  the Tom Cruz movie. So that that's a
• 53:29
  fantasy movie and that's what made me
• 53:30
  fall in love with creature design. Jyn,
• 53:32
  you mentioned creature design earlier,
• 53:33
  like the the design for like Legend and
• 53:35
  Meg's Mucklebones, whatever. Phenomenal.
• 53:38
  I have like a sideshow statue of the
• 53:40
  Lord of Darkness here, which is amazing.
• 53:42
  >> Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah, that was a nice
• 53:44
  piece. Yeah, that movie visually was
• 53:46
  just beautiful at the time. And when you
• 53:48
  think about it, uh, you know, horror,
• 53:51
  fantasy, sci-fi design, it was still
• 53:53
  really in its infancy. But the fact that
• 53:55
  they were to pull off some of the shots
• 53:56
  that they did, I you know, watching it
• 53:58
  now as a as a designer just my god. Um
• 54:02
  it was low lower budget too from what I
• 54:04
  recall.
• 54:05
  >> Mhm.
• 54:05
  >> Uh Christmas story. You guys ever watch
• 54:07
  that?
• 54:07
  >> Of course. How could you not watch that?
• 54:10
  >> Oh my six times on Christmas Eve every
• 54:13
  every year.
• 54:14
  >> Yeah. Yeah. On TV they replay that
• 54:16
  thing.
• 54:16
  >> Yeah. Almost all day.
• 54:18
  >> Literally is a 24-hour marathon. Like
• 54:20
  it's crazy.
• 54:22
  >> Yeah. You know, talk about creepy
• 54:23
  things. something just stick with you
• 54:25
  like Lawrence said that ET creeped you
• 54:26
  out. That one teacher that said to him,
• 54:29
  you'll shoot your eye out, you know,
• 54:31
  with that fisheye lens.
• 54:34
  >> That I don't know what it was, but that
• 54:35
  thing stuck with me for a while. And
• 54:37
  every time I would watch it as a kid
• 54:38
  when it was on TV, I I would just kind
• 54:40
  of look away cuz
• 54:41
  >> like I don't know if it's a crazy makeup
• 54:43
  that she had on, whatever, but that
• 54:45
  thing messed with me for a couple years.
• 54:47
  >> Oh my god. All right, so we're going to
• 54:49
  go around. We're going to do one more
• 54:50
  each. You ready? We'll end this thing on
• 54:52
  a good note. So, for me, uh, I'm gonna
• 54:55
  go Porky's. I don't know if you guys
• 54:56
  ever saw Porky's trilogy.
• 54:58
  >> Talk about the pause button, man.
• 55:00
  >> Exactly.
• 55:01
  >> Broken that movie.
• 55:02
  >> You could see what type of kid I was,
• 55:03
  what I was I was into, but like that was
• 55:05
  one of those movies like just one of the
• 55:07
  guys where like you're you're you're a
• 55:09
  teenager and you're you know, I was
• 55:10
  younger at the time, but like doing all
• 55:12
  that crazy stuff with that movie. One of
• 55:14
  the best.
• 55:16
  >> No, that and meatballs. If you're going
• 55:17
  to say porkies, I think you have to add
• 55:18
  meatballs.
• 55:19
  >> They're all in the same conversation.
• 55:21
  >> Yeah. Uh, for me, my final pick is going
• 55:24
  to be Critters. So, I I think Critters
• 55:26
  is just a fun like stupid movie, alien
• 55:29
  invasion thing. The the thing where the
• 55:31
  the the guys where they could morph
• 55:33
  their faces into different characters
• 55:34
  and then one of the aliens chooses
• 55:36
  Johnny Steel cuz he's watching the video
• 55:38
  in the spaceship for some odd reason or
• 55:40
  whatever. It's pretty dope. Oh, no. It
• 55:41
  wasn't in the spaceship. It was at the
• 55:42
  gas station. Anyway, Critters. That's
• 55:45
  >> I haven't I haven't thought about that
• 55:46
  movie in years. Wow.
• 55:47
  >> I know. Well, I'm I'm trying to recall
• 55:50
  what I've seen of that movie. I just
• 55:52
  remember loving it. Such a fun movie.
• 55:55
  >> All right, Joe, we're gonna end on you,
• 55:57
  but I do I am gonna mention one more
• 55:58
  because I it should have been on my list
• 56:00
  that I just thought of, but you give me
• 56:02
  your last one.
• 56:03
  >> All right. Airplane. Um I love the hell
• 56:06
  out of that movie. Uh part one, part
• 56:09
  two, doesn't matter. They were just so
• 56:11
  stupid and funny. And I remember as a
• 56:13
  kid, I remember that one where you had
• 56:16
  the autopilot and she had to blow him
• 56:17
  back up because it was inflatable.
• 56:19
  >> I I didn't get that joke as a kid. That
• 56:22
  was so funny. And then it was only as
• 56:24
  an, you know, as a teenager in high
• 56:25
  school re-watching. I'm thinking, "Oh my
• 56:27
  god, I watched this when I was, you
• 56:28
  know, elementary school.
• 56:31
  >> It was awesome.
• 56:32
  >> That's such a good movie. The first
• 56:33
  one."
• 56:33
  >> All right. So, before I I let you guys
• 56:35
  go, I get got to give you one more
• 56:37
  because I totally forgot about this
• 56:38
  movie until you just mentioned one, and
• 56:40
  that's the movie Mannequin.
• 56:43
  Oh yeah,
• 56:44
  >> dude.
• 56:46
  >> Awesome. It's
• 56:46
  >> not I mean just the premise of that
• 56:49
  movie that the dude you know you know
• 56:52
  working or whatever and this mannequin
• 56:53
  comes alive and only he could see her.
• 56:55
  It's just magical between the music of
• 56:57
  that movie between the story between I
• 56:59
  used to love Kim Control in that movie
• 57:01
  too. She was beautiful. But uh that's
• 57:04
  one I think that everyone from the 80s
• 57:06
  loves. What do you think?
• 57:08
  >> When you're talking about being a boy, a
• 57:10
  young boy, young man in the 80s,
• 57:13
  Mannequin and Weird Science are the two
• 57:15
  that's just
• 57:17
  >> talk about fantasy come to life, right?
• 57:21
  >> Yeah,
• 57:22
  >> they were awesome.
• 57:23
  >> Yeah, I I love Yeah, I love Mannequin.
• 57:27
  That was one that we recorded from like
• 57:29
  channel 5 or whatever. They they showed
• 57:31
  it and and
• 57:32
  >> I just love that movie. I'm surprised
• 57:34
  that I didn't put it on. That would have
• 57:35
  been in my top seven. Like that's such a
• 57:38
  good movie.
• 57:39
  >> Yeah, I had forgotten about it until he
• 57:40
  mentioned one of the others. So I was
• 57:42
  like, "Oh, I had to at least mention it
• 57:44
  on here before I let you go." If you'd
