What better way to start a new year than '80s action movies! January 2021 starts with the McTermBo theme as Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) pick some missed action movies from the '80s. Jonathan and Corey were both born in that decade and yet still missed some classics. Join them as they check some more movies off of their gap lists moving into yet another year of Movie Club.
As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
