Get your Hot White Privilege: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

6/26/2022
The debate is on: Is Ferris a cool, charismatic guy with a 'living in the moment' philosophy that we all can learn from or is he a narcissistic bitch boy sickeningly stuffed with so much privilege that he sees manipulation as a way of 'helping' poor Cameron have a good time? It's hard to dismiss a classic, especially one with such brilliantly iconic scenes, but damn Ferris...why you got to be such a dick sometimes? Special Guest Leslie Graves provides excellent insight and deep cuts on this...

Get Your Hot White Privilege: Sixteen Candles (1984)

5/2/2022
Sixteen reasons that Sixteen Candles (1984) really is the worst of the worst. Sexist. Racist. Rapist. Pinkerbell. Xenophobic. Inappropriate touching. Teenage girl experience through the Male Gaze. Shitty, forgetful parents. Anger Ball grandfathers. Violent grandmothers. Privileged kids. Stupid, narcissistic heartthrobs. Basically wrote the Date Rape Script. Obsessed with breasts, unrealistic views on love and romance. A touch of gaslighting. John Hughes.

All That Glitters: Legend (1985?)

4/8/2022
Cruise in a cocktail dress, Curry in 7-inch platforms and Tangerine Dream. Yup, we're reheating the fantasy feast that is Legend. Some parts are as yummy as every delectable word that comes out of Curry's black-lipped mouth, but ultimately we got a bit sick of Lily as well as the many different versions and cuts of this film - Ridley!!! Actress Alix Martin joins us as we go to hell and back in a tsunami of glitter, glitter, glitter. So be good for goodness saaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

All That Glitters: Labyrinth (1986)

3/15/2022
Dark, dangerous and super-creepy...yup, we're talking about Jim Henson's 1986's children cult-classic Labyrinth. Sarah is a spoiled brat, lost in a fantasy world, who wishes away her poor little baby brother Toby. Jareth, a goblin king with a penchant for super-tight trousers and teased hair, grants her wish only to become a total creepazoid as he obsesses over owning her. It's a classic with puppets and poppy tunes to sing along to - "Dance Baby Dance"!

It's Halloween, Witches: The Worst Witch (1986)

10/25/2021
We're kicking off Halloween week with The Worst Witch, which just happens to be Sacha's favorite. Super low-fi effects, a ridiculous soundtrack, kittens and Tim Curry - what could go wrong?

When Tom Hanks was Funny: Splash (1984)

10/21/2021
Behold the mermaid! A male sex fantasy in romantic comedy's clothing, Splash is a straight-up head-scratcher at times, but Darryl Hannah brings it as Ron Howard's version of Ariel, John Candy is perfectly effortless as a lovable letch, Eugene Levy is cracks us up with his neurotic paranoia and Tom Hanks...well, as Allan, he's got a bit of a mean streak. It's modern-day mermaids, butt merkins and lobsters for lunch. Jump on in, but just to warn you - the water's a bit gross.

When Tom Hanks was Funny...The Money Pit (1986)

9/27/2021
Money Pit is a romp of slapstick and seal laughs with the best narcissistic Russian composer that has ever graced the silver-scene - but can Shelley play the Long game to get this movie into the Comedy Hall of Fame? And while T. Hanks kills it with his bobble-head comedy chops, is it enough to save us from that oh-so-problematic plot twist at the end? And why, Why, WHY is that tune so damn catchy?

The Lovers, The Dreamers & Jim: The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)

6/27/2021
The muppets are together again and there are more dreams, more star cameos, more sentimental songs, more one-liners, more bears and chickens and things, more sex - wait one minute... It's true - Kermit gives Jenny the huggies, construction workers whistle at Piggy, Gonzo gives Camilla mouth-to-beak resuscitation and Animal chases after WOMAN. At the end though, it's movie. It's muppets. It's happiness. Peoples is peoples. Joined by special guest Max Williams.

Brats Will Be Brats: The Breakfast Club (1985)

5/24/2021
Delicious and disgusting at the same time, The Breakfast Club leaves us with so many mixed feelings. Does the constant sexual harassment of Claire leave a bad taste in our mouth? Yes. But do we still get excited as soon as we hear, “Hey, hey, hey, hey”? Absolutely

Not Made in China: The Golden Child (1986)

3/12/2021
From the fact that it can’t-settle-on-a-genre to its leave-the-camera rolling comedy, this Eddie Murphy vehicle stings a little on the way down. While there are bites of Cinnabon throughout, this takeout might need to go into the trash...it smell funky.
