80s Movie Bracket: The Ultimate Action Showdown

from Totally 80s and 90s Recall · host Totally 80s and 90s Recall

This week, Dave, Rob, and Kurt (with a special guest) strap on their bandoliers and dive headfirst into the over-the-top, protein-shake-fueled madness of 1980s action movies—where subtlety was for side characters and every explosion was a valid plot device. This was the golden era when Arnold Schwarzenegger could wipe out an entire jungle cartel with just a grimace, Sylvester Stallone turned mumbling into an art form (while bench-pressing Cold War tensions), and Jean-Claude Van Damme split-kicked his way into our hearts—and sometimes into slow-motion for no reason. These were movies where bullets never ran out, henchmen arrived in unlimited waves, and the only thing more ripped than the heroes were their sleeves. The 80s taught us that world peace could be achieved with a machine gun and a killer one-liner. So join the crew as they salute the action gods, relive the chaos, and ask the important questions—like are we, now in 2025, too old for this sh**!!
