Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

With a joke every 10 seconds, "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" is considered by many the Gold Standard when it comes to '80s comedies. The gags are nonstop and forever burned into our brains, but is this 30-year-old movie based on a single-season TV show still funny?

That depends on whether you like jokes about loud urination, tigers mauling baseball players, ballistic missiles driving into fireworks shops, and full-body condoms. We do.

Other topics in this episode of Shat The Movies include the carefree vibe of the '80s, anti-montage parody montages, Ricardo Montelban's cool, Priscilla Presley's performance, what it means to let a joke breathe, and O.J. Simpson: hot or not?

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

It's another Shat The Movies horror-comedy, but this time we have an '80s classic. Longtime listener Rob T. reached out from across the pod to commission the 1981 John Landis masterpiece, "An American Werewolf in London."

Big D's the star this week as we get more Ebert Animal Tips for Safety, hear why he thinks the British make the best horror movie victims, marvel at what it takes to convince Dick a film is a comedy, and learn how to use apartment tours to woo women.

In this episode, we also cheer the practical effects (that transformation scene ... woof), wish for a Naughty Nina spinoff, discover what Bob Dylan and Michael Jackson have in common, and uncover the secret messages about Jewish life in an Anglo world. Plus, Gene and Ash conspire to leave their giant co-host behind in the event of a wolf attack.

undefined - Alien (1979)

Alien (1979)

Many '80s babies first met xenomorphs in 1986's "Aliens," but there just something special about the 1979 Ridley Scott masterpiece that started it all. It's more suspenseful, more thought-provoking, more groundbreaking. That doesn't mean we can't laugh at it. Face it: Mother is just a room of blinky lights, the ovamorphs look like lady parts, the crew of the Nostromo is hilarously reckless, and the chest-burster kinda resembles a demented Muppet.

Kicking off Hot Sauce Steve's 5 weeks of Shat The Movies commissions, "Alien" inspires the Shat Crew to discuss Disneyworld's Great Movie Ride, Ripley's choice in underwear, why dogs are better that cats in space, and sexy milk people.
