Description

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

2026/11/06
On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug has some real issues with Sally Field's parenting and he's not afraid to say it, Jamie discusses reenacting the 'juice scene' in college, and we both come to different conclusions on whether we could live in this community (spoiler: Jamie would fit right in). Grab as many cans of pork and beans as will fit in that shopping cart, play a wholesome game of Go Fish with your adult children, and join us as we fire up the southern accents while watching, Steel Magnolias!Steel Magnolias is a 1989 film directed by Herbert Ross, written by and based on the play by Robert Harling and starring Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, Julia Roberts, Tom Skerritt, Dylan McDermott, Kevin J.

341: 21 Jump Street: Old Haunts in the New Age - S4, Ep6 (1989)
2026/10/31
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie wants nothing more than for this show to be about crime-fighting orphans adopted by the chief of police, Doug thinks that clairvoyance that gives information about only local high school arsonists and Presidential assassinations is a bit limiting, and we both are fascinated by the police headquarters being located in an abandoned church disguised as a repair show (which I'm sure we're wrong about). Join us as we dip into a show neither of us have ever seen before with, the six episode of the fourth season of 21 Jump Street: Old Haunts in the New Age!This Episode of 21 Jump Street was written by Glen Morgan, James Wong & Michelle Ashford.

340: Return to Horror High (1987)

Buy a wedding dress for your daughter's skeleton, beware of the quick sand pit in the middle of shop class, and join us as we wish that George Clooney hadn't walked out of this movie after the first 10 minutes while we watch, Return to Horror High!Return to Horror High is a 1987 film written and directed by Bill Froehlich and starring Lori Lethal, Brendan Hughes, Alex Rocco, Andy Romano, Josh Jacoby, Al Fann, Pepper Martin, Maureen McCormick & George Clooney.

2026/07/10
On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug decides to choose the definitive 'Worst Movie of the Podcast' by challenging Jamie to go through bad movies in a bracket format.

329: Tuff Turf (1985)
2026/06/19
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie 's only critique for this film is the lack of RDJ during the third act, Doug insists there must be an uncut version out there with at least a half hour of deleted scenes, and we both were just delighted by the romcom that was sandwiched in the middle of this film.
