Good Times Great Movies

Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug fears that anyone he works with will ever stumble upon this podcast, Jamie really tries to figure out why Hollywood kept giving Rowdy Roddy opportunities to appear in motion pictures, and we try and make sense of characters just refusing to put sunglasses on even just to humor this idiot.

See, sometimes we cover a film that is both a good time AND a great movie...
On our episode, Doug takes a moment to give some advice to listeners who rent Airbnb's, Jamie accidentally pitches a podcast where she and Doug just watch Best of the Best every day and discuss it, and neither of us can think if the composer Danny Elfman and it was just too embarrassingly good to be cut out. Put on your best set of 'grandma drapes', tell your relative to stop sending pictures of your home to strangers, and join us as just keep pushing off Satisfaction by discussing the absolute delight that is Beetlejuice!

Good Times Great Movies - Episode 270: 270: Howard the Duck (1986)
play

11/15/24 • 108 min

On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug would rather talk about Lea Thompson meeting Howard Stern, Jamie gets distracted when her dog starts barking at the possibility of a giant duck, and we quickly come to the conclusion that this is not a film for children or adults. Soap up your duck breasts, crimp the hell out of your hair, and join us as we go slowly insane while discussing, Howard the Duck!

On this dig back into a past Patreon episode, we're live at Tattooed Mom's in Philadelphia and Doug wonders that in a movie full of product placement, if A&W Root Beer was happy to have their logo worn by an attempted rapist, Jamie agrees that having an evil hideout in an abandoned amusement park is actually pretty cool, and we assume that Peter O'Toole was half-in-the-bag during all of his scenes. Grab a bucket of Popeye's chicken, free yourself from your user water prison pond planet, and join us as we are baffled by everything we're seeing in Supergirl!

play

03/21/25 • 87 min

On this dig back into a past Patreon episode, Doug is a sucker for any lady in a 'Blossom' hat, Jamie feels a bit unconnected to the high school female shenanigans in this film, and we both are shocked to find that it took this director 10 more years to make a baby counting film. Sure, just take that magical medallion from your teacher, take a seat on your senior witch's lap, and join us as we try and figure out how we would have used magical abilities in High School as we discuss, Teen Witch!

On our latest episode, Doug argues for a better boob to dick ratio in movies from any decade, Jamie has more 'Butt-Trick' jokes in the chamber but decides they'd be in poor taste, and we both try and figure out how many people can be killed by gym equipment before a business is shut down.

On our latest episode, Doug swoons over a fresh-faced Dennis Quaid, Jamie creates connections (that clearly aren't there) between the villains and Joey, and we both agree that as long as it's consensual, a relationship between a Human and Drac should never be demonized. Watch out for space sand pits, chow down on that football, and join us as we discuss the forbidden love that is, Enemy Mine.

01/11/19 • 87 min

The Hong Kong Gazette editors, Doug & Jamie (both white Americans) waited anxiously for the expose on underground fighting by their star reporter (another white American) and it took her weeks to put this together. In the end they decide not to run it because it reads more as the telling of a love affair between a large man in a Harley Davidson shirt and a smaller man with 'tight buns'.
