Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

51- Back to the Future & Back to the Future Part II (1980s)

4/27/2024
Great Scott! In this episode of the podcast- fittingly- we travel back in time to 2015 and 2016 for two conversations originally recorded for my original podcast, the SpielbergPod. These two conversations are on 'Back to the Future' (with my good friend Jake) and 'Back to the Future Part II' (with my equally excellent pal Paul). And the three of us have a lot of love for these brilliant movies.

In this episode Paul and I pick back up with our ongoing DIsney coverage with a discussion on 'The Fox and the Hound'. We also pause to say goodbye to Carl Weathers (we recorded this the week he died) and to share our thoughts on hunting, particularly fox hunting (spoiler: we're not fans).

48- For Your Eyes Only (1980s, James Bond #12)

4/1/2024
Since it's a Bank Holiday in the UK, it seems 100% appropriate for us to return to James Bond franchise today (because- historically- they would always seem to show the films on terrestrial TV on a Bank Holiday) with a conversation between Kieran, Paul and myself on 'For Your Eyes Only' which we recorded in late 2022. A note for historians- Liz Truss was a famously short-lived British Prime Minister in 2022 (she lasted seven weeks in Number 10, though during most of that time the place was shut due to the death of Queen Liz). Oh, and Paul mentions a couple of times a podcast he and I recorded on 'Casino Royal'. In case you wondered if you'd missed this episode, well, you haven't as we never did an episode on that film but I'd love to talk about the '06 'Casino Royal' (the '67 version, not so much) so Paul- call me!

47- Blackadder: The Cavalier Years (1980s)

3/24/2024
Off with your head. Dance til you're dead. In this episode Paul and I continue our ongoing Blackadder coverage, by discussing the show's 1989 Red Nose Day special. And since the special is only about 15 minutes long, we also find the time to discuss how we feel about the British royal family, in particular King Prince Charles...

46- The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi (1980s)

3/23/2024
This week's episode was recorded a long time ago (2015) in a galaxy far, far away (Wood Green, North London). What we have here is two Star Wars conversations- with Paul and I discussing 'The Empire Strikes Back' and me and Jev talking about 'Return of the Jedi'- originally released on my OG podcast, the SpielbergPod. And listening back to these, 2015 was an interesting time to be a Star Wars fan as we are all eagerly awaited the release of 'The Force Awakens' and the start of the sequel trilogy (oh, what a journey we were about to begin...).

41- Prince of Darkness (feat. The GenX Show, 1980s, John Carpenter #4)

2/11/2024
In this episode, recorded back in December, I was delighted to be joined by Jeff Morton- host of the fantastic The GenX Show- to discuss the life and career of filmmaker John Carpenter, with particular focus on his 1987 film, 'Prince of Darkness'. This was a great opportunity to continue our ongoing look at Carpenter's movies (we have covered several of his films at this point) and it was great to finally sit down and record an episode with Jeff. I've no idea why we didn't do this sooner but I look forward to bringing him back again for another chat. Up next: Episode 300!

37- Ghostbusters (feat. Dave Corkery from The Cinemile and Liam Dempsey from Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast, 1980s)

1/7/2024
In this episode- recorded just before Christmas- I'm joined by not one but two very special guests to discuss a very special film. The film in question- which incidentally turns 40 years old this year(!)- is 'Ghostbusters' from director Ivan Reitman. My fantastic guests are Dave Corkery from The Cinemile podcast and Liam Dempsey, one of the hosts of Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast. And the three of us are all huge fans of this movie and we could have easily talked for double the length of this episode on our thoughts and feelings for this stone cold classic and the films which have proceeded it (we even touch briefly on 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' which comes out later this year).

36- Batman (1980s)

1/6/2024
This week Paul and I dance with the devil in the pale moonlight by discussing Tim Burton's 'Batman' and Paul is the perfect guest to discuss this film as he's a big fan of The Caped Crusader; so he talks about how he got into the character, his history with the comics, the various movies and we basically have a great chat about a classic comic book movie. And since I remembered to plug the Patreon account in this episode, I figured I do it here too.
