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.

Patreon Bonus #46 - Rebecca Swan
Drew McWeeny has been many things in his life. Laserdisc slinger, Popcorn schlepper, cub reporter, theatre director, hopeless romantic, internet raconteur... but when he came to Los Angeles, it was in answer to the siren song of screenwriting. And this very special bonus episode digs deep into a lot of that history courtesy of today's special guest, filmmaker Rebecca Swan, Drew's writing partner on the Masters of Horror episodes Pro-Life and Cigarette Burns. They talk at length about their favorite films, shared obsessions, the way each informed the other's sensibilities, and much more.
