'80s All Over - The Best of 1984

The Best of 1984

'80s All Over

03/04/19 • 55 min

We all know the icons—Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi, Peter, Ray, Winston, and Egon, Gizmo and Stripe, and Freddy Krueger—but 1984 was so much more than that. Before we move on, it's time to review the year's biggest winners at the box-office and at the Oscars, and for Scott and Drew to pick their ten favorite films from a very stacked year. Will you agree? Will you be infuriated? Will Scott remember that The Terminator was released this year? You'll find out all of that and more as we reach the halfway point with the Best of 1984.

'80s All Over - November 1982

November 1982

'80s All Over

play

01/22/18 • 76 min

As the year starts to wind down, the line-up stays wild and diverse. You want to see the movie that ended the career of Fred Zinneman? It's a Sean Connery film and it's terrrrrrible. How about the movie that ostensibly started the career of James Cameron? It's a sequel and it's also terrrrrrible.

We've got lots of awful kids films, including one of Gary Coleman's theatrical features and another rancid Bugs Bunny compilation, and we've got kung-fu comedy and slasher movies and Kristy McNichol and Sting and Cher and Mia Farrow singing.And if that last one didn't scare you... then how about Creepshow?

Oh, man... why aren't you already listening?!

Drew and Scott spent a very long time preparing for this episode... and then with less than a few hours before the scheduled record, Drew had to go to the doctor for some sort of radical back-replacement procedure... or something like that. So in the face of such short notice and no real alternative, their producer makes his first and only on-mic appearance, where he and Scott draft their five favorite soundtracks of the decade — an endeavor that is a lot harder than it sounds, considering the '80s is basically when the movie soundtrack became an artform unto itself.

'80s All Over - Patreon Bonus #27 - Junkfood All Over
play

04/09/18 • 48 min

Not so much a guest spot or a bonus episode as it was a wholly satisfying podcast mash-up combining two great movie-loving tastes that cannot stay on-topic if everyone's lives depended on it. Brian Salisbury and C. Robert Cargill of Junkfood Cinema come roaring into this bonus episode of '80s All Over and even attempting to describe the movie-flavored madness that's indulged would do the episode a disservice. You gotta listen!

'80s All Over - Patreon Bonus #25 - Paul Scheer
play

03/12/18 • 52 min

One-third of maybe the most popular movie podcast in podcast history (All 12 or so real years of it) sees fit to grace Scott and Drew with his presence. Granted, there's some technical difficulties with his mic, but look: If you can get Paul Scheer of How Did This Get Made and The Disaster Artist and The League and The Good Place on your podcast to talk about underrated, unsung, and plain weird faves from the '80s, you do it, and the boys absolutely dug into some stuff you're definitely going to wanna seek out once this show is done.

'80s All Over - Patreon Bonus #16 - Joe Lynch
play

11/07/17 • 44 min

It was a foregone conclusion that '80s All Over would spend some time talking film with Joe Lynch: Not only is he one of Drew's friends, but he's also one of his favorite directors (Wrong Turn 2, Everly, Mayhem) and Mr. Lynch is also a podcaster, co-hosting the must-listen The Movie Crypt with Adam Green. And after launching into a... questionable Scott Weinberg impersonation, Lynch brings to the table a list of '80s movies he truly treasures on a personal level, and helps invent a guest format that will continue into future bonus episodes.

'80s All Over - Patreon Bonus #7 - Flash Gordon
play

06/19/17 • 111 min

The last Patreon exclusive was recorded shortly after one of the show's biggest decisions was made: To call the show '80s All Over as opposed to the original title... "Klytus, I'm Bored." An amazingly delivered line, but maybe not the most appealing or informative name for the podcast. But the proper tribute was shortly paid, as Drew and Scott convened for this commentary focused fully one of their most favorite films of the entire decade.

'80s All Over - Patreon Bonus #11 - A Tribute to George Romero

An absolute legend passes, and two of his biggest fans spend an entire bonus episode speaking on the man's drive, his genius, his talent, his work, and the way that work affected not just them, but multiple generations of filmgoers, and filmmakers.

'80s All Over - The '80s All Over Holiday Special
play

12/24/18 • 116 min

For Christmas, Drew and Scott chose to give themselves the gift of a couple weeks off from the podcast grind—but they didn't wanna just leave you hanging over the holiday break, and so: The '80s All Over Holiday Special, the sort of "We left a VHS tape at Gramma's house because she's got satellite and she'll record all our favorite shows for us if we circle the good stuff in the TV Guide for her" compilation that many '80s kids lived on!

...Okay, yeah, it's a clip show. But that's also a very '80s sorta thing to do, right? And besides—if you're looking for a free little stocking stuffer for discerning podcast listeners who (somehow) have yet to discover the magic of Messrs. McWeeny and Weinberg's award-winning* bi-monthly forays into film history and cultural archaeology, this Holiday Special oughta do it!

Featuring a special 8-bit remix of the remix of the opening theme by Dya, celebrations of the decade's most dignified luminaries (including Dabney Coleman and Burt Young), a peek into the Patreon exclusive vaults, and almost two hours of reviews, running gags, fights, feelings, crack-ups, throwdowns, and more!

*The '80s All Over podcast hasn't actually won any awards, but if you're a culture editor/writer at a mainstream outlet feel absolutely free to contact the show about rectifying this situation.
