Hard On The 80's

Nicolas Cage (with the weirdest chest hair EVER) smolders in this VERY 80's take on Romeo and Juliet. As Jimmy said, "The dialogue is unbearable."
Hard On The 80's - #13 "Footloose"
Hard On The 80's

Maybe those town elders weren't so bad? Jimmy and Johnny cut loose to this 1984 Kevin Bacon dance-a-thon.
Hard On The 80's - #19 "Gremlins"
Hard On The 80's

Is it a Christmas Movie? Is it a comedy? Is it horror? Is it a public service announcement about holiday suicides???
We didn't like much about this movie...but Shonda, Jimmy and Jonny had lots to say.
Hard On The 80's - #14 "The Breakfast Club"
Hard On The 80's
09/23/23 • 69 min
"Eat. My. Shorts." The crew revisits a John Hughes movie that was important to all three of us. Does it hold up? Well, Bender's sexual talk is NOT cute anymore. But the depth shown of each character remains rich and valuable. We also shared a bunch of our own Jr. High and High School experiences.
Hard On The 80's - #12 "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
Hard On The 80's
07/29/23 • 55 min
This Cameron Crowe 80's masterpiece gives an intense look at sex, awkwardness, school & pot smoking.
We delved into all sorts of side convos about masturbation, our mall jobs, adolescent anxiety, and our horrible personal experiences with music teacher Mr Campiglia.
Enjoy!
Hard On The 80's - #10 "Just One of the Guys""
Hard On The 80's
03/13/23 • 52 min
This 80's film is about a high school girl going undercover as a boy to show she is a victim of sexism. Binary gender roles and great fashion abounds. But the horndog younger brother steals the show
Hard On The 80's - #9 "Mannequin"
Hard On The 80's
03/05/23 • 52 min
It's about a guy who falls in love with a mannequin.
Meanwhile his ex girlfriend is sexually harassed by almost every other character in the film...except the over-the-top gay designer.

Jimmy and Johnny are brothers who grew up in the 80's and both worked at a West Coast Video rental store for one horrific summer.

Tom Cruise was 21 years old. He rocked the tube socks and tighty whities. We forgot a lot about this movie, but re-watching it sparked a bunch of memories of high school stress...and lots of laughs.

Shonda is back! We took a trip back and revisited this beloved movie from our youth. We all had some laughs, but we were unprepared for the ickiness that was considered "normal" in this 1984 film.
