This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Shamus back on the show to discuss the 1986 action flick Top Gun.  Tom Cruise leads this All-Star cast and their need for speed as they shoot down MIGs and spike volleyballs, all the while trying their best to show the world they're straight.  Once again, we have a woman cast just so we aren't confused by the sexuality of the cast, but no one is really fooled.  Ice Man, Goose, Maverick and Merlin all want to get into each other's cockpit.  DANGER ZONE!!  Enjoy the podcast! Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form. Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast. #jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show to discuss the 1986 fantasy flick The Highlander.  In this time-spanning epic, a French dude plays a Scottish dude.  A Scottish dude plays an Egyptian dude disguised as a Spanish dude, and Mr Krabs plays the bad guy.  In a movie that purports that there can only be One, there does seem to be a lot of these guys kicking around.  There are some women in this movie, but they are just there so there is no mistaking the sexuality of the protagonist, because if they weren't there, mistakes would be made.  Enjoy the podcast.  Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy, and Dana welcome Connor back on the show to discuss the 1986 drama The Color of Money.  It's got the director (Scorsese).  It's got the cast (Newman, Cruise, Mastrantoniosmithjonesjohnson).  It's got the pedigree (sequel to the 1961 classic The Hustler).  It's even got the location (Atlantic City, New Jersey).  There is just something missing from this movie.  It's not bad.  It's just not that good either.  Maybe it is the Eric Clapton of it all.  Enjoy the podcast!

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Logan back on the show to discuss the 1986 coming of age classic, Stand By Me.   Quite by luck, we jump right back into the  Rob Reiner filmography while he is still in all of hearts, and jump into Castle Rock (Oregon?) with this all time great coming of age movie as 4 chain smoking pre-teens go off to find a dead body.  Like most Stephen King penned stories, it's not about the ending as much is it is about the journey, and boy, do these kids have a journey.  Leeches and Trains and Handguns, oh my.  We dive deep on this one.  Enjoy the podcast!

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Zach back on the show as we kick off 1986 with the B&W indie flick, Down By Law.  In this one, three escaped convicts escape prison into the Louisiana bayou (eventually) and find friendship.  Or something like that.  It takes a little while to get there and this is not one of those movies most of us even knew about, but Tom Waits is the draw and we had a great time discussing this one.  If there are any 1986 movies you love and want to discuss, drop us a message to come on the show!  Enoy the podcast.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana discuss the 2015 sci-fi classic The Martian.  That's right, just like Mark Watney, the E&N crew gets lost and needs rescuing as we veer off the 1985 path and stumbling into the 21st century.  Once again, millions of dollars and half of Hollywood assemble to rescue Matt Damon for like the 50th time.  Surprisingly this movie was not universally loved by all of us, so you need to listen to find out who doesn't have a heart (or soul).  Enjoy the podcast!

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana close out 1985 with the Rob Reiner-directed rom-com The Sure Thing.  Call it karma, call it bad timing, call it what you want but we finish our DEEP dive into 1985 movies discussing a Rob Reiner film.   You know him, you love him.  Meathead to some, Marty DeBergi to others, we discuss his sophmore directing effort starring Joan Cusack's brother and Princess Vespa as they travel all the way across the country to discover they had each other all along.  I know... I was shocked too.  But it all comes back to Rob Reiner and how much we will miss him.  Michele couldn't be bothered to come on the podcast.  RIP Rob.  Enjoy the podcast.
