from Drive-In Double Feature Podcast · host Drive-In Double Feature
Nathan and Ryan drop into the neon-soaked skate scene with Thrashin’ (1986), the cult skateboarding movie that tried to capture the rebellious spirit of mid-’80s skate culture. Starring Josh Brolin as a young skater caught between rival crews—the Ramp Locals and the Daggers—the film mixes romance, turf wars, and plenty of downhill skating chaos. The hosts talk about the movie’s place in the short-lived skate film boom, its killer soundtrack, early appearances from future stars, and why Thrashin’ remains a fascinating time capsule of California skate culture before it went mainstream.
