Back to the 80s: A Deep Dive into Iconic 80s Comedy Films 🎥

Calling all movie buffs and nostalgia lovers! We're kicking it back to the 80s, the golden era of comedy, to chat about some of the most iconic films and unforgettable actors that made us laugh till we cried.We relive the comedic excellence of Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop, Steve Martin in Three Amigos, and the timeless charm of When Harry Met Sally. We celebrate the comedic genius of Rodney Dangerfield and John Candy, and the directors who gave us these iconic works of comedy, like Harold Ramis and John Hughes.In true retrospective spirit, we also compare the 80s comedic style with today’s comedy films, investigating how far comedy has come (or not). We discuss recent films like Get Hard, Deadpool, and Free Guy that are pushing the boundaries of comedy and ponder whether this evolution might be leading to a breaking point. We delve into the artistry of comedy, the challenges comedians face in today's highly digital world, and whether comedic genius can sometimes go too far.As we look back, we also ponder the effects of nostalgia on our perceptions of film. We consider how advancements in technology, like forensics, fingerprints, and DNA testing, contrast with the more simplistic era of the 80s, and how this impacts our perception of films from that period. We discuss remakes of classic films like Ghostbusters, questioning whether they hold a candle to the originals. Join us as we debate if characters from beloved films should evolve with time or remain frozen in our memory, exactly as we remember them. Settle in for a trip down memory lane that is both fun and thought-provoking.For full video highlights click the link or find us on YoutubeThe Best 80's Comedy Movies Vol.2 highlights - YouTube🚨Please subscribe and share this podcast.
