Tribute to Val Kilmer - 40's On The 80's
Val Edward Kilmer was an artist, first and foremost. While most of us know him from his films, he started out as a stage actor who later found fame on the silver screen. Ironically, some of his most memorable characters cast him in the supporting role such as 'Iceman' in Top Gun and 'Doc Holiday'...

Die Hard (Deep Dive Part 1) - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Even though the film, Die Hard, is one of my all time favorites.... recording this deep dive turned into a true labor of love! Between scheduling, researching, tech issues, re-records..... last year I felt almost 'over-dosed' on John McClain and Hans Gruber. This year, I've kept the viewing to a...

Lethal Weapon (Deep Dive Part 2) - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Personally, I have alot of fun doing the deep dives. It reminds me so much of one of my favorite shows of all time, MST3K. "It's like watching a favorite movie with some of your funniest friends." So if you are into details and picking apart one of the great action/buddy-cop films of all time......

Lethal Weapon (Deep Dive Part 1) - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Merry X-Mas.... Yo Yo Yo! In the City of Angels, anything can happen. And when the yule-tide, action bug kicks in, one of the greatest titles you will find is the classic cop-buddy film, Lethal Weapon. We really spent a lot of time digging into this one and keep in mind.... we ended up having to...
-
Cobra (Revisited) - 40's On The 80's Film Review
What can we say? We LOVE this film, so we put it through the paces of our re-vamped analysis system and took another look at Cobra. THIS time, we invited our Millenial brother to lead the discussion and asked him to quiz us on the insanity that is contained within this film. And just out of...

Pee Wee's Big Adventure - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer! Well, we've pulled Pee Wee out of the dark and into the sunlight and for anyone who has never experienced the 'man-child' creation of Paul Reubens.... I honestly don't know how to prepare you for this Big Adventure. But I will say that if you…

Commando (Revisited) - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Like Commander Ace of Megaforce fame once said, "It's on the wheel.... it all comes around!" And the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic action film 'Commando' is just ONE example of something being too good to not have more than one conversation about. So if you joined us for our first official…

Film Sequels - 40's On The 80's
It's frequently said that sequels don't live up to the original in the series. And since we are ONLY in the business of cliche's.... we're happy to jump neck deep into the pool of things we don't like. Some characters are welcome to come back knocking on our doors, but others..... their first…

Halloween - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Knock, Knock... Who's there? The Boogeyman.... Boogeyman, who? Boogeyman is gonna get you!!! With a gentle dose of violence, great use of musical score and the highest tech in cameras at the time, we LOVE this holiday classic by the great John Carpenter! One of his stipulations was that his name...
-
Fright Night - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Back in 1985, we learned that being a nosey neighbor can be bad for your health.... and the health of your friends, your car and several nameless ladies of the night! Charlie Brewster, who is soooo cool, is distracted from his pursuit of cancelling his virginity by the suave Jerry Dandritch who...

80's Horror - 40's On The 80's Genre Review
For the month of October, when so many of us enjoy venturing into the 'darker corner' of the video store (and no.... not the corner that was blocked off by glass beads in the door way), it seemed proper to highlight horror films of this great decade. Danny leads this discussion of blood, gore and...

House On Haunted Hill (1959) Watch Party - 40's On The 80's
Yeah.... so it wasn't filmed in the 80's. BUT.... we found a way to connect it to the 80's! Tune in and see how we did it. This special episode was a journey suggested by our man, Rick, and I was happy to go along with the ride. Anyone who ever spent any time watching Mystery Science Theater 3000...
-
The Burbs - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Leaving on vacation has it's risks, the same as any kind of travel. So it would make sense that having a 'Stay-Cation' where you putter around the house would be safer. WRONG! Especially if you live on a cul-de-sac where one of your neighbors turns out to be a legitimate family of crazies. So…

Tin Foil Hat Episode - 40's On The 80's Discuss JFK, CIA and The Scorpions
Every now and then... one of our Monkey Holes strays so far off path that we can't include it as an episode about something we love from the 80's. But when it's too good to just drop on the cutting room floor... it CAN become an episode all it's own. So keep an eye out your window after you…

The Running Man - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Prophecy in Science Fiction and Film..... how many things have we seen in film that eventually came to be? I'm still waiting to be able to do a hover conversion on my car... and whereas many of the cool things we've seen in Sci-Fi films would be great, I feel that some of the less glamorous…

Action Jackson - 40's On The 80's Film Review
If you never have.... then we encourage you to endure a little session with Action Jackson! Now, young people, if I tell you about Action Jackson, do you promise not to go befoulin' your comfy chair? By now you may be asking yourself.... "Who's Axin....." And that's when I come over the top and...

Beetlejuice (Original) - 40's On The 80's Film Review
Candyman.... Candyman.....Candyman...... uggh...... who has the time to say the name 5 times?? For REAL emergencies, you need help sooner rather than later. When you have reached the end of your rope and absolutely, positively need to rid yourself of the thorn in your side... there's only one...
-
Roadhouse - 40's On The 80's Film Review
As Dalton would say, "Opinion's vary," but I think you won't catch any of us being 'Not Nice' when it comes to one of our favorite movies about bouncers! Heck.... is it the ONLY movie about bouncers? Hmmm... worth researching. Follow along as we look into real estate in Jasper, Missouri where the...
-
Alien & Aliens - 40's On The 80's Film Review
What came first? The facehugger or the egg? We started off with the idea of only looking at Aliens (since it came out in the 80s) but the first film, Alien, was just too good a film and too important to this series to go un-mentioned. So we rolled them together into a single review. Alien (1979)...

40's on the 80's - Review of the film "Predator"
"Well, long-tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got EVERYTHING that Uncle John need!" Better not call Chris Hansen on THIS predator..... and even though there is something strange in this neighborhood (jungle), something strange and it don't look good.... I wouldn't recommend calling the...

40's on the 80's - Review of the film "First Blood"
"A very SPECIAL episode" Several 'firsts' happening on this recording! It's the first time hearing our future anchor/cast member, Rick Baldwin (check out his blogs on our page). It's also the first airing of the format we hit upon where we began breaking films down into their 3-act structure.…

40's on the 80's - Review of the film "American Werewolf in London"
Once again joined by Rob.... we explore the English country side with a splash of horror which directly led to Michael Jackson's iconic music video for 'Thriller.' Direced by John Landis, this film showed us what it might really look like to transform into a werewolf while having zombie ghosts...

40's on the 80's - Review of the film "Cobra"
After Rambo waged war against the cops in the pacific northwest but before getting "punchy" throwing fists with Drago..... he was a cop in LA's Zombie Squad where he regularly abused his authority, barbecued newspapers and rationed his pizza slices with a large pair of scissors that may have been...
-
40's on the 80's - Review of the film "Commando"
One of our all time favorite films which laid the groundwork for much of the over-the-top action of the 80's. Join us as we test the waters of our first ever podcast as we love and hate on this magically violent amusement park ride that we would gladly stand in line for over and over again.

40's on the 80's - Welcome to Our Podcast!
Before we get started sharing our actual episodes... figured it would be down right neighborly (or Britishly proper) for us to introduce ourselves and give you a little taste... you know.... to see what it tastes like!
