Nate and Hayes

from The Director's Chair Network Hosted by Ryan Rebalkin

In this episode, we explore the obscure 1983 film Nate and Hayes, a swashbuckling adventure set in the South Pacific with pirates, romance, and over-the-top violence that’s equal parts absurd and thrilling. We discuss its cult following, John Hughes’ writing touch, and why Paramount buried this gem. From Tommy Lee Jones’ energetic performance to the film’s quirky humor and Indiana Jones-esque bridge scene, we unpack it all! Plus, we dive into 80s trivia, covering top-grossing films, fashion fads, and cultural moments from 1983.
