Land Of The Creeps Episode 410 : DD 53 American Giallo Month & Whatever 80's

TC presents Black Glove Mysteries with Ian Urza and Greg Amortis. horror podcast this is the black glove mysteries and i'm your host greg amortis along with ian urza what's up ian you know greg before i continue on being a part of this show i just want to let you know I do not do animal acts. I do not do S&M or any variations of that particular bent. No water sports either. I will not shave my pussy. No fist fucking and absolutely no coming in my face.

I get $2,000 a day and I will not work without a contract. Oh, are we in for a treat tonight? This is episode four. I figured that was a good way to start. What's probably going to be like an X-rated show. Oh, this is definitely going to get there with one of the movies. Love it. Episode 410, if you're keeping count, and Double Double 53, and we are doing our American Jallow Month, and we each have chosen two movies. We're doing one each tonight, and then the next episode we'll do another.

American Jallow. And the quote coming from Ian is from the first movie we'll be talking about tonight, which is 1984's Body Double from Brian De Palma. And then the other movie being reviewed tonight is 1993, Striking Distance with Bruce Willis. I love the quote. Body double is so sleazy. It's just sleazy, but in a good way. Yeah. In a good way. And we'll get into it, man. I can't wait to break it down and see what you thought of it. I've seen it.

more times than I probably should have had back in the day, and I've seen it a few times in the past. So super excited to get into that. before we do that what do you got man we just did our um lotc just released our top 10 horror movies of 2024 and you called in with a great list dude banger and i hope everybody's had a chance to listen to that if not go back and listen to episode 409 But what have you been having go on with you here in the last couple weeks since we last recorded?

I mean, not too much. I've been watching more 2024 horror. There's still some I want to watch. This has been such a strong year for horror in general. I mean, I think... bedrooms or something was one i wanted to get to if you've heard of that movie that that like to be original i can't remember what that one's called um there's a to be original one that's like one word um i want to say it's like runaways or something like that but it's it's a title like that um

And then there are just a lot of movies I want to get to. Mads is another one. But to me, it's been an overall stronger year than 2023 was, whether it's like your direct-to-video, like Shudder original releases, or the stuff in the theater. I think there's...

been stuff for everyone for example a lot of people loved oddity and heretic um and maxine and all three of those are films i didn't particularly care for i i oddity and heretic were fine but a lot of people have those near the top and um you know I think it's been a good year for diverse movies and diverse lists for in terms of what people like the most. Yeah, I totally agree. It was like a I was telling the guys and I mentioned this on the episode that it seemed like there was like a.

core of 20 movies that were just solid, right? And then there was others that branched off. I have not seen Red Rooms either, and that was actually mentioned on the episode by one of the callers. There's so many. I need to get DayZ once he releases his because I really want to get in because he's watched so many movies and see what he's got. But there's so many that we didn't even think about.

you know honestly i've got to the ones that i felt like i needed to watch without having to go down and i'm not knocking to be held but you know without having to go down to be hell and you know I don't want to call it torture myself because watching movies is not torture ever well sometimes but still you know but sometimes it's like I wanted the core movies that mostly had been talked about so I'll definitely watch those and then I threw a few else out there I mean one of them that I

watched i don't know if you got a chance yet ian was the last video store i heard of it but have not watched it yeah that one was one day z threw out at me as a uh whether in it whether it makes his list or not I don't know. He just threw in a suggestion. He said, Greg, watch this. You might dig this type scenario. And I did. Low Lives was the movie I was thinking of. Which one? Low Lives. Okay, cool.

Dave Parker had given me a few suggestions too. One of them I did end up watching was Pandemonium. I think that's a French film. The Devil's Bath was another one. Even though it hasn't gotten good reviews, I do want to watch the Russell Crowe, the exorcism movie. It wasn't bad. I mean, that one wasn't bad. I seen The Devil's Bath. I did not watch Pandemonium. I really want to see that one because I've heard really good things about it. So I got to put that on my list to watch still because...

Even though my list is out there, I'm going to still keep watching. And I'm actually recording, as we're recording, it's a Tuesday. This Saturday night, I'm recording with Jay of the Dead for Jay of the Dead's Top 10. So who knows? I may watch a few more 2024s and my list may change again.

knows uh we'll see i'll try to throw a few more in but but super excited man i cannot wait it's jello american jello month and it's just been super fun i know ian you and i both recently picked up uh set from vinegar syndrome the forgotten jally volume one

So that might be coming down the road. I actually got volume two as well. And looking to hopefully, man, we'll all get all of them. I haven't gotten mine yet. I think vinegar syndrome is taking a minute to deliver it for whatever reason, because I still haven't gotten an email back about the shipping.

I went on there and made sure my address was correct because I was like okay hopefully but they normally they'll send an email with shipping also and they still haven't done that yet so they must just be busy doing something else I don't remember if there's some other thing going on for them this month in terms of like their partner labels or something. Um,

I know they had their subscription month, so I know they definitely had something going on there with all those sales, so that's probably what it is. Yeah, hopefully I'll get it by the start of next month, at least, hopefully. I mean, I used a gift card to buy it, so I got it basically for free.

nice yeah it's that same way with me i had a gift card so and i recently bought the edwood hardwood collection over on severin and still i've had it uh a couple weeks now and haven't got anything shipped yet so i'm you know it's a busy time of the year for these companies man so i overlook a little bit of it but we'll see whenever that pops in

uh so we're super excited there and a lot of good jallows we're going to be covering this year in 2025 man so i can't wait to get into them but without further ado ian let's go ahead and get into our first feature review we'll go in chronological order like we normally do And that's going to be Brian De Palma's 1984 body double. He thought he was watching her, but she was watching him. He thought he was trespassing, but he was invited. He knew he had gone too far. He couldn't stop.

He saw exactly what she wanted him to see. The modern master of suspense invites you to witness a seduction, a mystery, a murder. Body double. You can't believe everything you see. All right, Ian, take it away with a plot synopsis. Okay, this is taken from a VHS from Columbia TriStar Home Video. Brian De Palma invites you to witness a seduction, a mystery, a murder. It's body double, a spine-tingling look at voyeurism and sexuality from the modern master of suspense.

Jake Scully, played by Craig Wasson, an unemployed actor, is asked to house at a luxurious hillside apartment. As a bonus, the home offers Jake a telescopic peek into the bedroom of Gloria Revelle, played by Deborah Shetland, who nightly performs an arousing striptease. When Jake discovers another man is also spying on Gloria, he begins an obsessive surveillance.

of her soon a grisly murder leads him to the world of x-rated film where he meets a sexy porn queen holly body played by melanie griffith who is a key to the crime de palma has created a gripping adult thriller of eroticism and horror dum dum dum dum right away

I make no bones about it. Brian De Palma is one of my all time favorite directors of any cinema. He's probably top. He's definitely top 10, maybe even close to top five, man. I'd say absolutely adore and love this man and his movies. And this one is one of those. that I have always enjoyed. I remember as a youngster,

When I rented this on VHS back in the day, Ian, it was the fact of the nudity in this one that made me as a kid want to watch it. It would be like, you know, it was sleazy. I shouldn't be watching it and hot women, whatever. So, you know, I watched it a lot. on vhs and then as i grow older and started understanding actual cinema i'm watching this thing like what a freaking amazing film like really put together movie

suspense and different things going on. I like the sleaziness of this movie. It doesn't hide what it's about. And it just gives it to you and kind of chokes you with it. And absolutely love it. It's kind of got that rear window. There's also a psycho moment going on in this movie. There's some vertigo. There's a lot of stuff going on in this, man.

and I absolutely just enjoyed it. But how many times have you seen this movie? I don't really know for sure. Probably like, I don't know, give or take six, six or seven maybe. Yeah. It was one I watched. Back when I was in college, it would have been the second time I went to college. So I would have been around 22 years old when I saw it for the first time. Nice. And I remember, I think, renting it on some app or something. Remember loving it and buying a Blu-ray soon after.

a blu-ray that i have now since given to a friend and i bought a better blu-ray the indicator one so i forgot indicator put this out i was looking at the who was it released it originally was it Oh, God. It would have just been a studio movie. Yeah, I want to say it was like a Warner Brothers or somebody. It wasn't Warner Brothers, but something like that. And I forgot it, Columbia Pictures movie. So I totally forgot Indicator put this out. Did it come with like a...

Like a box? No, I don't think so. I think it was pretty standard, particularly for an indicator release. It wasn't that expensive either. It may have been like $18 or something. Okay, yeah. Cool. How are the features on this on the indicator Blu-ray? Uh, so you get like a, a pretty quick making of nothing crazy, maybe like a 40, 45 minute making of, and then you get like an interview with the assistant, the first assistant director. That's like 40 minutes long.

Now, didn't Arrow Video release this as well, I believe? They may have. I feel like they may have done Dress to Kill. I'm not sure about this. Yeah, they did Dress to Kill for sure on that one. Yeah, I may be thinking off on it. It may be somebody else. They could have done a Region B Blu-ray for all I know at some point. Yeah. I see on Amazon they got like 4K steelbook. It's really freaking cool over here. Yeah, I think they do. I don't know who made it.

Uh, but to the movie, man, this is one of those movies. I think the overall feel of it, we have some things going on here. Okay. So we got Craig Watson's character who is a struggling actor that has claustrophobia. Of all things, he's playing like a Dracula character in one of the scenes and he has to wake up in a coffin and he wakes up and he's frozen in fear.

Yeah, I actually kind of like that part at the beginning. I mean, it's a little funny, like it's unintentionally funny, the look on his face. But at the same time, it's kind of freaky how he's just kind of frozen there and you don't really know what's going on as a viewer yet.

you know there's some there's some blurring of reality here in terms of like um you know we'll get to like the kissing scene of like did that really happen uh with him and gloria and then like the the whole the whole music video scene is like blurring reality as well in like terms of what what is actually going on here and then but even the whole

with the director is like okay Dennis France plays the director who like who fires him and then all of a sudden he's back at the end of the movie it's like did he fire him in the first like it's so it's just a very there's some very strange turnarounds and blurring of reality

here that i don't always know if if what's going on is actually real or not or if jake is some unreliable narrator or something and it adds to the fun of the film yeah i totally agree and uh the opening scene after we see dennis frond's character Ruben the director tells him just take some time off and he comes home Jake comes home to the also beautiful Barbara Crampton playing Carol his wife in the movie

Getting banged by some dude. Yeah, I can think of a couple of reasons why she was in this movie. Yeah. Same. And here's the thing. This would have been around 84. So in 84, we would have definitely had... We would have had... reanimator i don't think so not yet i think that's a couple years after this reanimator from beyond i think are like a year or two after this yeah because i know the bride may have been 85 i'm not sure um i think reanimator is 86 so this i think is really before

uh she had done a lot of uh horror stuff you're right reanimator 85 so yeah you're after this one so uh definitely got her attention there but dude i was like immediately like oh crap this dude's screwed right you know it's done screwed his head his brain he goes he's a recovering alcoholic he goes to doing some drinking which i mean

Let's face it, I think any average guy would. Walking in and finding your wife, getting the deed done to her right in front of your face, that would kind of mess you up. And then we go to the scenes where he's doing some acting auditions and stuff, which was...

fun and that's where we meet his friend's character or a friend character named Sam played by Greg Henry who I absolutely loved this dude I thought he was great in this movie man yeah and I like Greg Henry a lot whether it's movies like Payback where he plays the villain or in slither where he plays the mayor he's got like the best line in the movie where he talks about how there's no no mr pip left or no mr pib left yeah yeah like he's he is he is tremendous in slither and brian de palma is

used him in several more of his films. Before this, he had used him in Scarface, just in a quick scene, and then he ends up playing, I think, a cop in Raising Cain. Him, Brian De Palma, and James Gunn are two directors who use Greg Henry in a lot of their films.

films and that's good because he's a good actor so why not right and he's a good looking guy too so he definitely looks good on screen as well this was uh right after he was in just before dawn as well oh wow nice so we go to uh sam's character being introduced and that's when sam finds out that uh jake is needing some place to stay he says hey i got this spot it's not my place but if you keep the plant safe uh you can stay here and it's got a great view and that's when we're introduced

Two of the most iconic scenes of this movie, which is the dancing girl in the window. That's so freaking... Oh, my God. It ruined people's childhoods. Or did it make it better? Who knows? It was definitely part of a lot of kids' childhood. Yeah, it's part of a certain kind of awakening, I would say. And he starts watching this.

telescope watching the woman dance and then through that that's where we get that whole rear window. The great Pino DiNaggio music as well. Oh my god it's so beautiful and the rear window feel where somebody's peering into somebody in a window doing something and then you start finding like and it's different layers so there's different levels of the room so you see somebody in the upper stairs at one time and different and then you're like oh crap you know

I love those suspenseful moments like that. The reason and I love Alfred Hitchcock so much. So Brian DePalma definitely stealing that or giving homage.

to Alfred and he did it well I mean really well in this one he's doing people underestimate too he's doing a lot of rear window he's doing a lot of vertigo in the second half but he's also doing some dial-up for murder I don't want to say the particular on how but the plot of dial m for murder and this share a lot of stuff in common as well oh my god yes yes yes yes i know exactly where you're talking

Absolutely. Love that movie, too. If you've not seen Dial In for Murder, man, do yourself justice and check that movie out. It's not one of my favorite Hitchcock films, but I've only seen it once. I do need to give it another watch. I don't even know. I mean, my personal favorite.

of his is shadow of a doubt i really really love that film yeah i would put uh dial in would probably be like number seven-ish of his on my list it would definitely be in the top 10 but really enjoy it but I think overall, man, this movie, then it turns from there to where he sees somebody.

you know abusing the lead actress here or the uh woman in the window abusing her so that makes him go over and try to help and all the stuff so and that's how the movie takes off we got this whole cat and mouse of him trying to figure out who the uh Indian guy is in this movie that's trying to attack her, and it just becomes like a whole...

the Jalo part of this movie, what's going on. And I thought it was really well done. I think you mentioned it and I'll go ahead and say it right here. I think the music by Pino Donigo is just freaking Don Gio is amazing. I think it keeps the pace well. It's just a really good mood setter, and I thought he'd done tremendous in this one.

And what's interesting is if you're paying attention, you should be able to tell who the killer is, especially like on rewatch. It's like, oh, wow, like you can really see it. Blaringly right. Yeah, it's there. But it almost doesn't matter because the movie is shot so well and De Palma just immerses you into this world of, you know, somewhere in between a Hollywood actor and then the Hollywood pornography scene.

It's just really fun how he crosses the two and how he uses. All of these are real locations, right? Like even everything from like the little hot dog stand Jake visits to the beginning. That's still around. You can still go to it. Nice. The Rodeo Mall is still there. The Chemosphere House is still there. The Barneys Beanery is still around. Like everything, every location in here is like a real place you can access. And De Palma does such a great job.

filming it yeah absolutely it it becomes its own character for sure in this movie uh and i do appreciate that as well i think too in this one the acting has got to be key on this one because i really enjoyed craig i thought he done great sam was great i like dennis franz and even though he's only in it

You know, just a few moments. The Deborah Shelton character who's playing Gloria and Melanie Griffith was hilariously naive in this movie. Or is she? And I like her character as well. It's just some really good acting in this one that just helps push it along. And I just had a lot of fun, man. It's just a really fun movie to watch. And like I said, it's kind of sleazy. The porn section that pops in in this movie with the Hollywood or Holly does Hollywood scenes. And we got the cameo.

I love his cameo from... the group or Frankie goes to Hollywood group. Yeah. I love the video. It's just so out of place. I'm watching this and thinking, all right, we're in a full blown music video. I love it when that happens though. I remember watching this for the first time and yeah, it came out of nowhere, but I just loved it.

it i don't know there's something about it that i just love and he does like the whole what are you some sort of method actor that cuts to the yeah it cuts to it it's it's yeah it's great and the whole thing where he's like i like to watch everything about it then even before that when he sees the when he sees the um when he sees the video and it's like they're doing like the the trailer and then it's like

I like that. It's like Holly body keeps this business where it belongs in the gutter, the gone with the wind of adult films. Yeah. Yeah. Everything about that scene is really funny. And then you have, what is it? I'm just trying to look at.

the lines here uh hollywood holly does hollywood is a hedonist heaven and you noticed uh our girl bring stevens making a cameo in that trailer right and then you see her later on coming out of the out of the bathroom in the music video scene yes she literally is like a flash

but you still see her immediately when she came out of the, the second, I think it was the second time when she come out of the room was when I first noticed her. I was like, Oh shit, there was Brick Stevens. Yeah. And I even asked, she's in, she's part of the trailer though too. Nice. Yeah. I just totally, it caught me fine.

because i've seen this movie a million times i feel like and i've never noticed her in it until this time and it was really cool yeah and then you have like even the part when he first goes to the when he first calls like the the the talent agency or whatever the producers And the guy sitting there, he's like, I'm not a stunt cock. I'm an actor. So many, so many great lines in here. And I got to say, the person who dials it up the most is a detective.

When we meet the detective at the house, the detective is like really just kind of going for it. He's like, you're a peeper. And in my mind, that's a pervert and a sex offender. And he's just he's he's going for it. He's funny. he's like your typical unlikable detective in one of these films even though he's right I mean the thing is

He's supposed to be a relatable character in terms of you could see yourself as him. But he's not like Greg Watson is not a movie star. He's not a tough guy. And he's he's playing a character that it's that's supposed to be awkward to me. not a very likable person for the most part, but you're still along for the ride with him during his investigation. So it kind of evens out in that way, but he's like,

He's a good choice for this because you don't really want a movie star in this. Like I would not have wanted John Travolta to play this part. You know, just speaking as someone for someone else who was in a De Palma film, like really anybody that had like a level of stardom.

I don't think would have worked in this part very well. No, Pearl would argue with that. She would love John Travolta in this, but I totally agree. When you look at the core people that Brian De Palma reused, like, you know, John Lithgow would have probably been a... character that could have maybe played a Sam character. Yeah, he could have played the Greg Henry part easily. I mean, I'm glad that he used someone else besides...

I mean, the thing about this movie is this is kind of a break from him using his normal actors because, you know, Nancy Allen isn't in this either. And so you have him breaking away from some of the people he had used before. person who's in here who's who's kind of in a lot of his movies before this is Dennis Franz and he's not in it very much right yeah he's just kind of a couple scenes so yeah

So acting in this solid, the music solid, the story is, here it is. I agree with you 100% with Jake not being a likable character necessarily. He is, the detective is rightfully so that, you know, he is a sleazy perv.

basically saying you're you're stalking this woman and he even has to call him out on his own shit right because you know jake's like no i was just doing this but you're doing the same thing that the other guy was doing you've been staring at this woman you know and following her around everywhere

where she's going so you're just as sleazy of a perv as the other one is you just haven't acted out any course of of you know murder or anything yet but you're just as bad but the scene i love was when they when he first ended guy takes the purse you know and it's in that that tunnel

like the little tunnel before you get outside the beach area or whatever. And he freezes in the tunnel when he's chasing them, Jake's character. Yeah, and the Indian does the touchdown celebration after he takes the purse. Yes, almost felt like Mean Joe Green in the Coke commercial. or something like he's going to throw them the jersey.

But I love that scene, man. It was so well because you got to see how claustrophobic Jake truly was. He's not in a coffin. He's in a larger area, but it's still just being in some enclosed area caused him to just go in.

full panic and then even to the point he has to have you know help you know to get out of that that area and i just i thought it was well handled man i was really pleased with that it's interesting because brian de palma did not like how he had to do the chase scene he said that it was the most cliched thing ever like filming just their feet and but he said i had to find

a way to get them to the tunnel so that was the best way i could do it and then yeah all the dolly zooms and everything and the camera tricks in the tunnel are amazing i mean every every way he you know shot this film is amazing everything at the rodeo mall is

basically similar to the museum scene in dress to kill where you have all these extras around and you're just trying to master the geography as a viewer and there's all these different camera angles going on for different shots it's it's it's really amazingly filmed all of it and even the way he films that uh sort of high rise building that gloria goes to all the different levels of it and everything like it's you're just so absorbed by the cinematography it's just so incredible to watch

Agree. Yeah, beautiful. Music, once again, is outstanding in this movie. I think it's just... just really really top-notch for sure it's 114 minutes long so just shy of two hours and i was never bored in this movie man i was all into this thing and always i mean i still remember the first time i watched this movie just being like wow

like and then it never has lost flavor like I've seen it so many times I know what's going to happen I feel what's going to happen and I still have fun with it I've just always really enjoyed this one and I think it's Of course, Brian DePaul, I'm a little biased because I do love him as a director, but I just think it's a really strong film, man. I think it gets up.

underlooked because or gets overlooked because of some of his other films, but I really think it should be one scene by all. It's probably tied for my favorite film of his along with Raising Cain. You know, I have not seen Raising Cane in so long. I own it. I need to watch it, but it's been a while since I've seen that one. For me, Blowout clearly is probably my favorite of his, that, and I love Phantom of the Paradise. There's so many, man.

he's done but one of these days i'll break them back down i know we did a brian depalma spotlight on lotc a couple years ago or three years ago whatever you like any of his action films do you like the first mission impossible You know, now that one I have not watched because one reason Pearl does not like Tom Cruise. So I try to avoid any movies. I can kind of get that. It's interesting. My mom doesn't like Tom Cruise either, and she ended up liking that series when I showed it.

tour oh wow tom cruise is an interesting figure because off the screen he's really weird obviously but i've also heard he's incredibly nice to most people even if he's

even if he projects this sort of weirdness, he seems to be very nice to people interpersonally from what I've heard. Like when he's done interviews, I remember hearing a story about how he did this interview for, I think it was Nerdist. And afterwards he said to like one of the... guys on the show he's like hey have a nice day and the guy was like i will i will thank you tom cruise that's just the way i think tom cruise kind of is like that off screen so

Nice. But if you watch Mission Impossible, that movie feels like Brian De Palma trying to make a Giallo film cross with an action movie. That movie's rated PG-13. And I think he wanted to do more. with Tom Cruise and Emmanuel Barrett in that movie than he was allowed to do. If it were an R-rated film, he probably would have done more giallo stuff with that film. And unfortunately, he probably couldn't. Because in that movie, you can see there's definitely some tension.

between Tom Cruise and Emmanuel Bear. And for whatever reason, it's just not there on the screen because obviously it's PG-13 movie, so we can't show any sexy stuff in this compared to what De Palma's used to. Clearly. Right. Yeah, we'll have to do, man. We got to do with some Brian De Palma.

Again, I've got to really break down because I need, there's a few of his I've not seen, so I need to get in there. And even, he hasn't really made a particularly good movie this century, but he did make one, which is Femme Fatale. I drew really like Femme Fatale a lot. That's a really good one. Yep. All right. Well, body double, you can't believe everything you see. Do you feel it hits the shallow mold? Yeah, I would say it does. I mean...

Other than the fact that you really only have one kill in this, right? Right. The body count is not high. But however, there is like the investigation. There's like a person seeing something differently. from what he ends up, you know, really seeing, right? He ends up figuring it out later. That is very, very Dario Argento. You know, that scene when he's talking to the cop on the phone in the second half telling him what he really saw and what's really going on is certainly straight out.

of an Argento film and even the way it ends in the final fight feels like something out of a giallo film because we talked about plenty of giallos before where it ends kind of like an action movie where there's a big fight between a couple characters to resolve. to resolve how it's going to end. Yeah.

Totally. The only thing I really would have liked to have seen was a J&B bottle. I did not notice one. I don't think there was one, but I would have loved to have seen one. In an American movie? I mean, well, it's Jack Daniels in this movie. True. A ton of Jack Daniels and a ton of Coors Bank.

because that's what jake is drinking when he's down on his luck i love the scene with the bartender too where he's like you know he's keeping he's like are you are you my are you my therapist or a bartender or whatever he says like to keep the fucking glass filled or whatever he's like fill your own glass

I love it. I did want to mention for the kissing scene, they had made like a matte painting of the area behind them. And basically it's actually not the camera that's spinning. It's them. They're actually on a turn. table spinning. It's not actually the camera. The camera is standing still. I know what you're talking about. I thought that was totally there. Well, damn.

How much of the features, because you own some features on this one, and what is on the indicator Blu-ray, and is it worth owning that one? I would say it is. I mean, you could really own either of, like, there's a, I think there's just a studio.

maybe like a Warner archive Blu-ray that you can own too. And that has every one of the same features except for the interview with the assistant director, I think. So every other one of those I think is on there. The indicator one though, I think it's still fairly cheap. It is not region locked. It's a, B and C. Okay.

Yeah, I was looking up, you can get the 4K over at like Diabolic DVD. You can get it for like $31.99 for the, I don't think it's a steel book. No, it is. Actually, it's a 4K steel book they have for like $31 over there.

and looking includes featurettes and a newly added music video it says over there so i don't know but anyways there's some stuff you can get a hold of so i was just curious man i really want to hear a commentary on this one and see what you know what's said throughout i think that'd be fun

listen to yeah i would i would enjoy that as well i think he's one of those directors because i don't know if he's notably ever done a commentary he might be one of those directors that doesn't really do it for his films um I know Quentin Tarantino, somewhat notably, has never done a commentary for any of his films. Yeah. So what else you got? You got anything on this one you want to talk about? Anything else?

I think Melanie Griffith is really, really funny in this film. That scene where they run into the woman at the restaurant is really, really funny. When she's like, oh, what is the film about? And she's like, oh, that's funny. We need more comedians in our business.

business but even when she's like she's freaking out at the end of the movie where she's like you're one of those necrophiliacs aren't you you're a corpse fucker she is she is really funny in this and even when she's trying to you know she's hitchhiking trying to track down a car and she's just getting all mad that no one's pulling over. She really is funny in this and in certain scenes. Agreed.

And, I mean, she's strong. I mean, she's a strong lady in this one. She's not a pushover. And I like that about her as well. She stands up to him. So I like the character itself, man. She's just not some... Flash Bimbo, right? In the movie, she does have a little bit of a backbone about her. I like Brian De Palma putting her with that kind of character lead. Dennis Franz, once again, great in this movie. What little bit he's in it, man. He just plays that.

he just plays that ass guy he's just he could play an ass whether he's a detective or whether he's a bad guy or you know like in blowout or whatever he can just play an asshole dude he plays it well Get out of here, Scully. Escort him out. I can't really do the Chicago accent. It's difficult, but I can try. It's heavy. It's a heavy accent. Do it. Do it. Do it over here. Well, that was kind of my best attempt at doing his voice.

I would need to, I'm trying to remember some of his lines. I can't remember all of them. I mean, I can try to do like one of his lines from like Die Hard 2 because that I remember when he does the whole like, would you get your thumb out of your ass or you're going to find a pink slip in your... your Christmas stocking.

Yeah, that's kind of what he sounds like, at least to me. I love it. I love it. Well, do you feel that this movie keeps his continuity? We talked about it a little bit, Ian, where you said it kind of switches gears and it's like, is he in a dream state or what's going on?

here is he acting because he does go all of a sudden to the once it hits the music video section then he you know his hair slicked back he's a totally different person he's like wait a minute does he do is he is he in that part when there is a music video that's that's him actually filming something with her right and then yeah

for some reason he's got like a completely different look afterwards when he talks to her like i don't i never understood what's really going on there yeah that's what i'm saying like he you know his hair's slicked back he's got a different outfit on he's he's gone from being this this, you know, buoyant looking, nervous acting looking guy, you know, to where he's like, all of a sudden he's got...

you know, got a backbone and he's sleazy and he's going to be in porn. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what's going on here? It was a total switch, man. The slicking of the hair back and everything. It was just odd. Uh, I don't know what Brian DePalma was going for.

And even like I said, the kissing scene with Gloria, did it really happen that way? Or was that him? Is that him thinking about it? Probably a little bit more the way he wanted to think about it than how it really happened. Yeah, I feel like it would be more.

of him thinking about i just don't know i mean maybe she would have but it just seemed odd complete stranger coming up and maybe that's the way she wanted to repay him for getting her purse back it's odd to each their own i guess yeah right deborah shelton is actually dubbed in this by helen shaver too that's not her actual voice

Darn it. Darn it. I thought it was her. You can tell, too. What Debra Shelton interviews does not have a voice that's like that husky or that sultry. That Helen Shaver's voice sounds a little bit more of like a, you know, a classic noir, like femme. Vitale sort of voice where it sounds like she smoked a couple of cigarettes or something. Yeah, exactly. All right. What else you got on this movie before we go to ratings? Nothing that I can really think of. I do enjoy how De Palma references.

you know horror movies within his films uh you know especially how he doesn't blow out and here you have the whole vampire's kiss thing going on so i do enjoy that he likes to do that i mean i think he's making films that are let's say artsier and classier than most horror

films they're obviously much more highly produced than your typical slasher films from the 80s and for whatever reason that's why people respect his films more when they don't they didn't really respect a lot of the slasher films fair enough All right. Well, I'm going to say this is a definite must-own purchase. This movie is... Oh, where do I rate this one, man? I got to rate this one really high because I have seen this so many times. It's rewatchable and...

I just really thoroughly enjoy it. So for Brian De Palma, I'm going to give this movie... Fuck it. I'm going 9-5. This is a damn 9-5 for me. What about you, Ian? I'm giving it a 10. Now I feel bad I didn't give it a fucking 10. yeah i'm giving it a 10 um i think i think a couple of his films would be a 10 for me and this would be one of them i mean i there are some films of his that i'm not the most in love with compared to this one like even dressed to kill which is a shorter film than this

by all means, I probably should like it better because it's a little more concise. That film, I've talked about how I think he gets really, really cute with the ending. He puts in a certain sequence there and a certain twist that I don't think he needs to put in because I think he was in...

inspired to do what he didn't carry. And I think I gave that movie like a 7-5 or something if I remember, and I would still stand by that. So I'm not overly in love with some of his films. This is one of them that I truly really do love. Well, I'm almost stick.

I hate doing it because I really fucking want to give it a 10 because it's Brian De Palma, and I just fucking love Brian De Palma. I'm going to stick to 9.5. All right, I'm sticking to 9.5. Pearl's giving me a look. Like, what are you doing? I'm sticking with the 9.5. I love this movie. This is a must-own purchase. I think everybody should see this movie.

And I see a very young Melanie Griffith. She had done some things before this, but definitely see a very young Melanie Griffith as well as Barbara Crampton. Get to see her and... You get to see. Bring Stevens. Thank you. You get to see a flash of her. So there you go. So it's 9-5 for me, 10 for Ian Body Double.

check it out all right now we're going to a movie our last review of the night and this one was the first time viewing for me and i cannot wait to talk this and i actually i'll tell a story about it when we get into it but the movie we're going to be talking about is 19 93's Striking Distance. That body in the water, we fished it out. Victim's name is Cheryl Putnam. The body was dumped upriver late last night.

Whoever killed her hung on to her for a while before he mailed her. How do you know? I used to be a homicide detective. Detective Thomas Hardy. Tom Hardy? Your famous one. Infamous. Was once the most decorated officer on the Pittsburgh police force. You're a talented guy. You can be anything you want to be. I like... Just the way it is, Papa. Until he broke rank. Loyalty of all else except honor. And told the truth. It was a Pittsburgh cop that killed these girls. Just ask these guys.

No. I got you this job after they took your shields. River Rescue 9221. This is base. Barty, please come in. 92-1, go ahead. He's got a new assignment. and shark a new partner hi it's nice to meet you i never had a woman partner before neither have i and a river full of dead bodies They should have never put him in the water if they didn't want him to make waves. How many men upstairs?

Let me rephrase that. Officer Hardy was not an out-of-control lamp. Dangerous. But Sabati's in the river, so I'll find him, Nick. He wants me to find these girls. Bruce Willis. You just won't let go, will you? Hardy, behind you! Sarah Jessica Parker. Thank you. No, I should definitely be thanking you. You know, I just thought of a way that I could write. You've got to be so careful in this life, Danny.

Breaking distance. And Ian, take it away with a plot synopsis. This is taken from a VHS. I wonder if it's actually the same one you have. Read it and I'll tell you. Bruce Willis and Sarah Jessica Parker star in this mind-bending action mystery. Tom Hardy, played by Bruce Willis, not to be confused with the actor Tom Hardy, is a maverick cop who's not afraid to rock the boat in pursuit of a sadistic...

He's a serial killer demoted to River Patrol after suggesting the killer may be a fellow police officer. He initiates an unauthorized investigation, which kicks kicks the high power plot into overdrive. His new partner, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, climbs up. with a surprise of her own as the conspiracy closes around them for a wake, thrilling drama about honor, loyalty, and family.

Bam. That is the exact one I've got. I'm holding it in my hand right now. And before we talk about, I got to talk about how I received this movie and it was so freaking just, it was meant to be brother. I'm going to be straight up honest. This was like. an act of sheer Whatever. It was just meant to be. So I was on Facebook Marketplace the other day, saw something pop up. It said 180 VHSs for $21. I thought, wow, something's wrong here. You know, this is insane. So message, they had it.

Pearl and I was out. This was on Sunday. So I messaged the person. They said, you know, come get it, whatever. We show up at the house and bam, here's all the movies. I get home and I'm starting to go through all the VHSs, you know, to see what all we got.

And lo and behold, there was Bruce Willis' striking distance. I'm like, holy shit. Are you fucking kidding me? And it looked... really good i'm like well damn the case still looks pretty good it's in the old columbia picture you know cardboard case so i'm like okay it looks good the tape looked pristine like super clean well i just watched it before we started recording tonight and it looks excellent dude so i I watched it tonight on VHS for the first time and it was awesome.

loved it ian but uh let's get to this let's get into the movie how many times have you seen striking distance you know i'm not i think maybe this was like my fourth or fifth viewing i haven't seen it that many times but the first time i watched it was quite a while ago I think I would have been about 13 14 and it was it would have been on Netflix instant around the time when Netflix first started doing like Netflix instant streaming mm-hmm so I watched it on like an old

laptop from what I remember because I think it was a school at night and I was just trying to stay up later. So, yeah, typical teenage stuff. So rebellious. Yeah. Well, this one was directed by Rowdy Harrington. Once again, this was my first time viewing. And he was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and this was set in Pennsylvania. So I thought that was good.

Kind of neat. And it has, and you had mentioned it, and he was there. Lo and behold, Tom Atkins is in this movie. Not a large part, but he is in the movie. I loved it. You got Sarah Jessica Parker, who I thought was good in this movie. Bruce was Bruce. He's always, you know, in these tight films, does good. Tom Sizemore in this movie. Tom Sizemore, who I think in the first half of the movie, they said, okay, you're going to have to...

some acting second half the movie we're just gonna film you because your life is we know you're an absolute train wrecks yeah when you're drunk you can just be yourself there's no acting here we get it yeah and that's what I felt like it was Tom Sizemore

I mean, great actor, but what a mess of a person off screen for a really long time. In the final years of his life, though, interestingly enough, he started going to cons like all the time. He was at a lot of them. I mean, I'm sure he had a lot of bills.

to pay um that would probably be a reason why for most accounts i heard he was a nice guy even if he still didn't seem to really you know he just seemed to be a little gone compared to what he was once because of you know all his off-screen issues yeah Well, the movie itself, man...

Acting, like I said, there's a lot of people in this movie you will notice, you'll recognize, especially if you've done any kind of TV or you've done action flicks, you're going to notice a lot of these people and recognize. So I love that. I love immediately that I'm able to notice cast members.

okay so the whole setup of it is is bruce willis is in the police force and uh at the very beginning of the movie we see that he had turned in his partner which was his cousin i believe it was it was a family yes cousin and he turned him in for being a bad cop and uh so

You don't do that, right? You never cross the line. If you're a police officer, you turn another police officer in. So the police force is against them. They hate them. And then we see something take place with his dad, who's also a police officer. He gets killed and yada, yada. he's demoted or whatever put onto a boat type thing so story is is good rowdy harrington once again directing this thing i thought he done good man i thought it the pace was well enough for it

I think it had its moments of action. We had that amazing chase at the beginning, Ian. Car chase. Yeah, that's incredible. Like the car chase is awesome. You can tell, like they're doing, the car stunts are awesome. You can tell there's real explosions.

real car flips and stuff and they're going into different areas of an urban environment throughout the chase it's actually very euro crime it reminds me a lot of like a euro crime chase because of that it does or even like uh we just did this over on uh dvd and fat even though we recorded a long time ago, but the French Connection almost had that...

you know, the urban side of things where you're going through the city and different things. I wonder how much they had blocked roads off or how much of that was just grill of film. And I don't know, but it was just really well done. And there's the scene that's so hilarious in this.

chase, Ian, and I know you'll laugh when I tell you, but there's this scene where they start going down this hill and there's these up and down valleys and the cars are jumping and it's almost in succession. All the cars are jumping at the same time.

I was laughing so hard I shouldn't have, but it was so funny to me watching these cars come over these hills in the air and hitting and up in the air and hitting. They did it for like a total of about five or ten seconds of that, and I'm just laughing. I told Pearl, I said, watch this. This is hilarious. These guys, dude. So much fun in that. But the car chase was amazing. I loved it.

And then that kind of sets the motion of what's going on in the movie. The jello part of this is good, man. I thought it was really good. They kept you in suspense on who the killer is because it's a serial killer movie. We got somebody that's killed. women and dumping them off in the water where now Bruce Wills works for police type.

situation in the water and you know they're they're kind of taunting them because some of these girls he's slept with right so it's almost like they're putting it right in his face like you you know well and it it should be noted that the opening of the film And then the next part of the film takes place two years after the opening. This killer had already killed four people before the opening scene. So then he starts killing more. And Bruce Willis is the only one in the world who seems.

to think that it's the same person because allegedly they've caught his father's killer even though it's pretty obvious even to you as an audience member that the person they caught is not his father's killer like the guy they bring in is like five foot five like an older gentleman and rusilla says it he's like there's no way that guy could have moved the bot like it he's like this is ridiculous like give me a break but dennis farina who plays the captain of the police force and

Bruce Willis' uncle is convinced that this guy is the one who killed his father and doesn't want to hear Bruce Willis say anything otherwise. Yeah, exactly. Here's what I love. Bruce is screaming, it's a cop. Because, especially in the police chase scene at the beginning, because he said this is a cop driving. Like, nobody handles a car like this but a cop.

You know, so clearly when they showed the guy that they said murdered his dad, it was like, no, there's no way this guy drove his car, you know, the way he did through these streets. Absolutely not. But I love it. I love the scenes with the. uh other guy what was his name uh Brian James, who played Detective Eddie Elliott, he's all in hatred of... Every scene descends with them, like with Brian James being like, you son of a bitch, I'm going to kill you every single time. I like Brian James.

It's just every scene is funny. And like Bruce Willis will always say something to set him off. But at the same time, it's like, well, yeah, you're treating him terribly. Like, what do you think? How do you think he's going to talk to you? Right. When he when he takes a dig at his wife, he's like. Like, oh, you're his new partner. Tell me, how's his wife?

There are jokes. Bruce Willis is going over the line with the stuff he's saying, but at the same time, this guy's treating him awful. It's like, of course he's going to say stuff like that. Yeah, you keep pushing him. Why wouldn't you? Robert Pastorelli plays in this movie. A lot of people will recognize him. Like I said, it's just got to cast Timothy Busfield. It's hilarious. Timothy Busfield getting dumped over the boat more than one time. Yeah.

That open is the first time we see him, and he's getting in the boat untied and everything. And I'm watching Bruce Willis. I'm like, dude, and he says, get off the boat, and he ain't getting – I said, man, he's going to dump him. He's like, dude. Musfield is good at playing anointing.

characters like that too like he did he did the same thing in field of dreams i mean his character in field of dreams is a little bit more serious than his character is here but even still yeah he's good at playing characters like that i can't remember if he played like an annoying character or not

and the nerds. I'm pretty sure he's one of the nerds if I remember correctly. He was, yeah. And then you've got Andre Brower in this looking like he's 15 years old. He totally needed to grow into his body. He just looked really...

Yeah, it's weird because frequency is what, like... only like seven eight years after this and he looks he does look closer to his actual age by the time that movie comes out he does for sure uh once you got tom atkins playing uncle fred uh john mahoney who plays the father of uh Bruce Willis' character, Tom Hardy, man, I thought he was good, too, even though he's not.

In the movie, super long time, but he's just really good. Yeah, it's interesting because at that policeman's ball scene, I'm like, you know, Bruce or Tom, why don't you hang out with this side of your family more? They seem a little bit more stable and a little bit more likable.

than the other side of your family does. Yeah, the Hardys are okay. And then also, when Tom Atkins sees his new partner, when he sees Sarah Jessica Parker as his new partner, he says something like, don't fuck her. And I'm thinking to myself, Tom, there's... There's no way you'd be taking your own advice. Right.

This is knowing Tom Atkins. This is a guy at Halloween 3 who's sleeping with everybody that moves. Yeah. Which is one of the great things about that film. But still, it's like there's no way you're taking your own advice on that one. Right.

I, you know, and Sarah Jessica Parker, I mean, I've never, to be honest, I haven't seen her in much. I never watched Sex and the City. I've never found her to be the most attractive person in the world, if I'm being honest, although she does have a look that no... other hollywood actress has like there is there is not an actress in the world that looks like her so she's very unique looking and i did i did enjoy her in this i thought she was fine and i thought

There's enough misdirection with her character and it's believable how they end up falling for each other. So I enjoyed her in this. Yeah, same. And it was one of those deals. I even asked Pearl and Pearl says she preferred her in sex in the city. She's watched it and she knows it. I personally haven't, you know, other than a couple episodes here and there, you know, just walking in with Pearl watching. I thought she was good in this. I thought her and Bruce had.

decent chemistry together there's clearly i would say an age difference between the two but it still plays okay in the movie it doesn't really throw you off or anything and uh i just thought i mean she'd done what she needed to do in the movie she could handle herself so uh give her a plus for effort in that one as well and and i like how she you know she does change a lot throughout this film like when when when they go to town and willis is trying to you know, interrogate that one guy.

very aggressively yeah might i add but pointing onto his face she initially says hey drop the gun and when she has to testify against him later she's like oh i drew my weapon as backup she does change her tune throughout this movie um part of it's her feelings for him but part of it's also her figuring out this guy's actually on to something exactly yeah totally so i mean the cast itself man i just i think it's really

really good man it's a good action flick you got enough action going in it definitely hits in the shallow element of this movie for sure million percent well yeah even in the beginning you see the you know you see the killer to open the film and he's wearing like the black gloves so yeah Yeah, and I like that. And what else we got going on in this one? The musical score.

And this is your typical 90s film, though. The music was by Brad Fiedel. Yeah, who worked with James Cameron a lot. Exactly. Like on the Abyss and the Terminator films. Yeah, I thought it was good. I mean, it's not... I don't want to say 90 soundtracks are not that good or scores.

They're just different, right? I feel like. I feel like they're... I don't know, man. I just feel like there was a different feel once it hit in the 90s. A lot of movies had soundtracks more than scores. You know, you had more of the... music kicking in from different things and that. So I don't know. I don't know. Am I off on that one? No, I mean, I think it's a fairly generic score, but it works. Yeah, for what it is. I mean, it doesn't play...

It's not memorable. Exactly. It's not pivotal in the movie where like Brian De Palma, his songs kind of. drove it a little bit. You know, it was definitely more noticeable in this one. I can't even tell you what the musical score sounded like. I don't really even remember anything in it. I really know. I mean, had Michael Kamen done it, that may have been different because Michael Kamen scored.

tend to be at least a little bit more memorable brad fidel has done uh i would say more memorable work in you know the terminator theme is certainly much more recognizable than this and absolutely any of the music he did in terminator 2 that fear sampled over and over again in their albums is certainly more memorable for sure hour and 41 minutes long so uh i didn't feel bored in this one i didn't know the twist how was the twist for you did you see it

the way it was because i i'll be honest like there was a couple times that i questioned an individual i'd be like okay i even told her like this is the killer and she just kind of chuckled because she knew the movie and i said don't tell me

because she'd already seen it. So I said, because I'm watching it, and there was a couple times it threw me a little bit. I thought it was somebody else. I think it's a little obvious when you re-watch it, but the first time you watch it, I don't think you're going to know.

exactly what's going on and there's enough suspicion on a couple of different characters uh to throw you off i mean heck even you could even say that the main character is crazy enough to think well what's really going like is this person really seeing what they're really you know what they're seeing so there's enough misdirection here to to to not know exactly what's going on totally uh box office was 77 million it was a budget of 30 and it opened number one when it first released back in 93 so

uh which was september 17th i believe 1993 it says and i just i've never seen this movie and i've seen I won't say I've seen every Bruce Willis movie I haven't. There's a zillion movies I've not seen because that guy's been in a ton of movies. Well, if you're talking about all those direct-to-video movies he did, like starting in the 2010s. Oh, yeah, forget it. No, I'll never get it.

i'm not going to watch no like sorry i just i i don't think at that point also i don't even think he was committed to his own performances in those films either some of it's not entirely his fault because i know he has um aphasia and i think he probably started having it a little earlier than when he decided to retire. But yeah, most of those direct-to-video films I would certainly take a pass on.

yeah absolutely but this is one i don't think anybody should sleep on i think it's a fun watch uh definitely fits in the shallow field and i like i said i thought you know the way that they revealed the the killer was was well done it was a

i'll just god i want to say something so bad i want to say but i can't because then it'll kind of spoil it but uh but anyways it is i'll tell you all fair of it still a fun watch man it's still fun i thought the acting was great rowdy done really good with the direction of it what else you got on this movie I like the action scene on the boat that sort of happens in the middle. You did need to have another action scene here somewhere.

And I think that that one's good. I think, you know, Bruce Willis getting some action movie lines in there where he's like, how many men on top? And then he's like, let me rephrase the question. He cocks a shotgun at him. So there's there's some good moments there. And I think, I mean, we can only talk so much about it, but Robert Pastorelli, like his performance, how much he dials it up, I think is really, really fun. Agreed.

i think and i'm glad you mentioned the boat chasing too or whatever that that was really fun it almost was up there with like if you ever seen face off face off has that good boat chase yeah the boat chase at the end yeah yeah and i'm talking about the one though in the middle when he

And they go on the boat to catch the people who were taking people hostage. Oh, I got you. I got you. Okay. I was thinking though. Yeah. Okay, cool. And I like, okay. The funny, the funny thing is there. So Bruce Willis climbs up like a bridge or whatever, right. Or a ladder.

And he's loading the shotgun while he's trying to climb. I'm like, why didn't you do that before you decided to climb? I thought that that was really funny. Yeah, I thought the same thing. I thought, well, maybe he's not trying to get the bullets wet. And I'm like, well, the bullets are in there with his body.

going to be wet like i don't understand that either because he literally had them in his hand and he was going to put him he put him in his pocket or whatever and then he gets them coming out of the water i'm like why like that took you time like i don't know I don't know. And even when they arrest like the juveniles, that part's really funny. When Joe's like, hey, we have to give him a ticket. He's like, nah, whatever. They're just kids. And she's like, we have to give them.

a ticket he's like okay well you do it i don't think i can stand the excitement nice again bruce willis sarah jessica parker pulling it off man i thought they'd done done respectable job you know they were believable i would have believed i could honestly say I would have believed them to be

Whatever happens to them in this movie, I'd have been like, okay, I could see that. I could see it working. Of course, then again, you know, he's a horned dog, so whatever. But, all right, Ian, anything else before we get our ratings? Not that I can really think of, no. I enjoy this one a lot. It's a fun action.

movie there's a good mystery it uses the the pittsburgh location really well and it's got a stack cast it really does it you definitely see a lot of the city and i was thoroughly pleased with that man because i love movies that do that so Yeah, bang up job there. All right, so let's pass it around. My first viewing, I'm going to go ahead and be at a four on this. So you say a four. I said, yeah, four on Letterboxd, which means an eight. I had y'all going, didn't I?

it an eight man i think it's definitely a a really good film that i'm thoroughly pleased with watching and you know watching on vhs was fun i forget sometimes when you watch it like that how dark the scenes are Just because a VHS is a dark, you know, platform of way of watching movies. So as I'm watching, I'm like, God, I bet you this thing on Blu-ray or 4K or whatever. I don't think it's out like that. But if it's out on like a Blu-ray or something, it probably looks...

So pristine. VHS is fun. It's fun. So what you got, Ian? I'm also giving it an A. Okay, cool.

And you've seen it a few times, so cool. All right, so an eight on that, and that is Striking Distance 1993. So that is our feature reviews tonight. Now, we do have, Ian, a call that came in. I believe it was... the last episode and we didn't get a chance to play that because it came in I think the day of or right after we had recorded so we weren't able to get to that so I want to go ahead and play that and it's going to probably sound

I'll be honest, it's going to probably sound a little off from this episode, so it's not going to have anything to do with this one. But I still want to play it. I think it's Darren from Northern California called, so we definitely want to get that call in and see what he got. He might have a question for us, Ian.

Who knows? Let's see if he knows. All right. All right. So let's go to this call and see what we got going on here, Ian. Black Glove Mysteries. Hey, Greg. Hey, Ian. Darren, North of California. Calling? Today we're talking Mario Bava. And you picked two of the best that I could think of because anytime anybody mentions Mario Bava to me, these are the two movies. These are the first two movies that I automatically come jump into my mind. Black Sunday.

I just rewatched that again yesterday. It's been years since I'd seen it. And I forgot just how absolutely awesome that movie was. The stylistic of the black and white was, you know. It had like a German expressionist feel to it. Barbara Steele, Austin, as always. Mixing a witch vampire narrative, which I didn't think could be.

could be successfully done. This was just done in the most perfect manner. And for an early 60s movie, they really brought the gore for it, for something that was made at that time period. That movie is a 10 for me. It's a 10 out of 10. I just can't get enough of that film. And then finally, Black Sabbath, starring Boris Karloff.

You know me. I'm an anthology guy, and this is definitely one of my favorite anthologies. But I noticed the difference because it's been years since I had seen this one, and I rewatched it again yesterday as well. When I first saw it, I saw the English dubbed version. And in the English dubbed version, they had Boris Karloff.

introducing each segment every time it was time for the new segment to come up. And the segments were shown in a different order than the version I watched yesterday, which was the Italian version. They only showed Boris Karloff doing an introduction at the beginning, but then he wasn't introducing each segment between, and they were shown out of order.

In the English-dubbed version, Boris Karloff's segment was the last segment shown, and in the Italian version, it was the middle story. But still, regardless of which one you see, the stories are just fantastic. And that movie to me is also a 10 out of 10, you know, and I'm surprised I haven't picked them up yet, but I'm going to go buy them right away. All right. I hope you guys have a great show and I'll talk to you next time. Take care. Bye-bye.

There we go. So like I said, it sounds a little out of cycle, but I wanted to play that because he had called in a couple weeks ago. But Ian, I remember that episode, just the last one, and it was awesome, dude. It was a lot of fun, and we did talk at length about the differences between...

the American and the Italian version of Black Sabbath. And yeah, Black Sunday, I agree with everything you said. That movie's a 10. It looks amazing. And like you said, it does combine the vampire and the witch mythology really well, which also leads me to say... A movie that combines that also very well that I think is underrated and certainly underseen is a movie called She-Wolf. It's a Polish film. I believe the Polish title is something like Vilceka. It's not an easy thing to say.

But if you can find She-Wolf from 1983, that's a really good film that combines werewolf, witch, and vampire all together as well. Hell yeah. All right, well, let's get it. Let's watch it. Darren, thank you for calling in, brother. Appreciate it. And so, Ian, what is the next episode of Black Glove Mysteries going to entail?

All right. For the wrap-up on American Giallo Month, we are covering the movie Dance with Death. And is it The Rain Killer? Rain Killer. So there you go. Check them out. Dance with Death. and rain killer both of these are first time viewings for me and i believe first time for you as well yeah

I have seen Dance with Death, but I have not seen Rainkiller. Dance with Death is for people out there. So Dance with Death can be found on Amazon Prime or on YouTube. The Prime video copy, I think, is a better print. You can also find it, I think, on... the roku channel the rain killer can be found on 2b or i think you could probably uh rent it on amazon or on shout tv so these movies are findable um maybe a little scarcely found but you definitely can find them

Heck yeah. And as we mentioned off there and we'll mention on here, Michael Chiklis. A very young Michael Chiklis in that movie. I can't wait. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that. That was one of the things that surprised me when I saw the cast. I was like, okay, Michael Chiklis, that's interesting. Dance with Death for all you One Tree Hill fans out there.

You've got Barbara Allen Woods in it, who played Deb Scott in One Tree Hill, playing a reporter who goes undercover at a strip club to catch a killer. Bam. There you go. Check it out. All right, so that said, we'll start wrapping this episode up, except we still got Mortis Vision coming up, and I cannot wait. Pearl and I are going to be joined by Karen Wagner and Brian Scott, and we're going to be going into some 80s.

What are we calling this now, Pearl? Like part 10? Yeah, whatever it is, we're going to be talking some more 80s. I cannot wait. It's going to be awesome, right? She's excited. I'm excited. Karen's excited. Brian's excited. So stay tuned to the end of this episode and listen to us over there. No telling what we're going to get into. Oh, my God. Ian, we haven't recorded yet, and I'm scared. I'm scared. I don't know where we're going.

It's going to be so much fun. All right, so we're going to let y'all go. Like we always like to say, get your jally on, and we'll see you on the flip side. Peace. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Before we do that, Ian, what do you got in outros? Duh. You can find me on Twitter, also known as X, Instagram and Blue Sky at Erzanomics. You can add me on Facebook and you can add me on Letterboxd if you want. Just type in my name on Facebook and Letterboxd.

Hell yeah. Head over to landthecreats.blogspot.com. Look at the show notes and you can click on the links and follow Ian over at these spots. I highly recommend it. I'll save mine for the end of the episode. So with that said, now get your jally on. LOTC presents Mortis Vision with Greg Amortis and the Twisted Temptress. Welcome to Mortis Vision with the Mortises. I'm your host Greg Amortis along with...

The Twisted Temptress. Pearl, what's up, love? Ooh, nothing's up. Ooh? Yeah. What was that for? Ooh. Nothing's up. Everything's down. Everything's down? I'm sorry. Let's see what happens later on tonight. No, we're super excited. We're back. This is going to be a fun episode. We're going to call this one, what are we going to call this? 80s Chat 32.

And we're going to welcome in both of these individuals. You know them. I don't even have to introduce them, but they're coming in. Let's welcome in.

Karen Wagner. What's up, Karen? Hey, you guys. Thank you for having me back again. Of course. Can't do it without you. Yeah. This is a must. And then we got... It is. We got Brian Scott. What's up, Brian? Hey, guys. I forgot. I did have one question before we start. Hey, Greg, does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

Oh, Mandy, you said when you... Oh, no. I never... I love Barry. What do you mean? I rated his, man. I love me some Barry Manilow, dude. Anybody that doesn't love Barry Manilow or like... secretly pull out some Barry Manilow albums at night. You're a psycho. That's what Jay did. You're a psycho. You're a psycho. I'm just saying. Barry Manilow was Barry Manilow, right? Yeah.

Coca, Coca-Cabana. But we're excited. We're going to be talking Hades chats tonight. Coca-Cabana. We don't know what's going on. Brian's already singing. He ain't drank much tonight. What the hell? Who knows what's going to happen? We're going to get into some 80s chats tonight. Super excited. Pearl. Yes. You're drinking orange what? Fanta.

Fanta. Don't you wanna? Wanna Fanta? Is that an 80s thing? Yes, it is actually. Why do you think I'm drinking it? Wanna Fanta? Don't you wanna? Wanna Fanta? I should have brought out a glass of tang. is what I should have brought out. Oh, God, you should have just went with the heisty, juicy thingy. No, Tang, man, that was so 80s. That was like you getting in the spaceship, going into outer space. Don't mention spaceships right now.

Why not? That's all they drank in the Overlook Hotel was tang. You could see it on the shelves behind them. Yeah. There's tang everywhere. I love it. This is going to be fun. We've got to go ahead and get our shots down because I'm ready to get this shot.

in in the old windpipe and and i'm drinking and i did find out karen you gifted me this now i know god dang it you i knew i've had this two different bottles gifted to me one by anthony r and one by karen i couldn't remember who gifted what But the one I've been drinking on the last few episodes, guys, and you've heard me talk about it, Old Smokey.

Gatlinburg, Tennessee, salty caramel, boys. Oh, that's what we've been drinking on tonight. I got me a shot glass full of that ready. And Pearl's got the orange Fanta. And I have learned not to put a Werther's. original in my mouth why I take the chug because it messes me up because it's like super sweet and oh it's almost like being high uh Brian what you drinking on over there boy

I got these little banana 99 shot little bottle things. They sell at the gas station. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what they are. You ever see those? Yeah. Well, we have a few of those. It's a schnapps. It's clear. But they're like 99 proof.

banana flavored yeah i got like a thousand of those lined up yeah they say 99 on them or something like that yeah we got the strawberry banana and uh do they taste like that's what i picture them tasting like oh wait you got the strawberry light made ones because all those are or something like that yeah yeah the liquor store up here the abc store has and you can buy like a bucket of them and they're all it's like a whole bucket full or whatever i don't know i had never bought the bucket but

I tried one of each, man. The fruit punch is disgusting, but the banana goes on so smooth, man. The fruit punch tastes like cough syrup, I'm telling you. Oh, that's a shame. I do like fruit punch. Yeah, totally. Well, Karen, what are you drinking tonight, Karen? I am drinking a Gordon's Gin Martini. 75 year old man.

On the rocks. She's keeping it dry. She's got it dry, right? It is shaken, not stirred, and on the rocks, yes, with lots of olives. What does it mean when they say a dry martini? How do you drink a dry martini? I'm just curious. It would be wet to me, but I don't know. What? A regular martini has gin or some people do vodka with vermouth. The more vermouth you put in, the less dry it is. And I think the dry, it tastes more like gin.

And I don't like vermouth, so I will wave the vermouth over the top of it and not actually pour any in. Nice. Look, I'm waving it over. Look, I'm teasing you. I'm not going to put you in, but it's over my glass. That's right. I just pretend and then I shake up the gym with ice so it has those little ice crystals in it. Hell yeah. Well, let's go ahead and get these chugs now. We're going to chug. Karen's going to sit because we don't want her chugging that yet. Or maybe we do. Maybe we do.

I'll chug a little. All right, she's going to chug. Brian, you chug. You ready? I'm definitely chugging. Here we go. Three, two, one, chug. Ooh. That was a good goal. I don't know how he does that. He must have the mic literally shoved next to his throat. He says he puts it closer. He'll put the mic closer. Yeah. I got to say this. This old Smoky Tennessee, man, tastes really good. It really does. But I'm going to be honest. It's a thicker liquor, so it almost is like...

When you do Jim Beam and Honey in that shot glass, I can chug that no problem. I take this, and it almost feels like I've got to force myself to take two gulps. It's like, and then you're like, oh. My mom likes to mix it with Bailey's. She'll pour that and some Bailey's in a glass and put it over ice and that's how she drinks it. Bailey's is so good. It is good.

Cool. Well, here we are. It's 1980-whatever. We're just going to call it 1980-whatever. Hey, that's what we should call it, the 1980-whatever episode. That sounds good. 1980 whatever. So we don't have even really what I'm going to call an outline tonight. We're just going to chat. But we are going to be talking technically. We're going to look at some soundtracks tonight. So it's going to be some music. And I'm sure we'll definitely get into some movies.

talk as well because we got to do that and we got to get into just some culture man the culture of 80s brian i think there's a podcast out there that brian and i listen to that absolutely love this show and what's the name of it brian scott

Everything 80s podcast. Highly recommend. If you haven't listened to it, check it out on all your podcast platforms. One individual, he's out of Canada. And dude, I'm telling you what. If you want to know about 80s... anything 80s that's the show to listen to man he knows his stuff he really does his research and brian they're usually within 30 minutes or less they're not super long episodes

That's what I like about it. It's a quick listen. It's scripted, so it's just him. But he does his research. Jamie Logie, I think, is his name. And if you search it up, everything 80s. It's like a big yellow logo with some stripes or something, I think, on it. But it's easy to find. It is. I liked his other logo before this one. I don't necessarily like his newer logo. This one looks like a track suit.

Yeah, definitely. So Karen, put that on your to-do list. Listen to everything 80s podcast. Looks like the jersey he wore in Teen Wolf. I think I wrote this down to listen to last time and then saw a squirrel and forgot.

about it well let's look at a few things here let's go ahead and just get right into soundtracks let's go let's get right into music because i think all four of us here are huge music lovers without a doubt know that that's kind of where our hearts at and um here's the thing about 80s soundtracks i feel like they really made the movies in the 80s

for the soundtracks. It's almost what it felt like. A movie was more like a big, long MTV video. It's like... hit after hit after hit after hit on some of these soundtracks you're like well shit is there even a movie because all i'm listening to is the music and that's what i love it but i wanted i wanted to throw this out at you guys because i went on uh two different sites

And they put out the, there's one from Variety, which had the 25 most quintessential 1980s soundtracks. And then there's also one from... entertainment weekly and they did like a top 17. And I just wanted to run through these and see what you thought. And then we can go from there to whatever soundtracks you want to go to. And if we find one of these that we hit, we can park it right there too. How's that?

sounds good yeah that sounds good let me go back one thing you mentioned was that sometimes i wrote movies for the music yeah i i heard this at one point in time that john hughes when he wrote his movies and we know this he's one of the best screenwriters of the 80s. He wrote it while listening to 80s music and implemented some of the scenes into fashioning to the music he thought he might want in the movie.

Music more than ever, I think, played a big part in movies in the 80s. It was such a big thing to do. Yeah, and let's just say it. John Hughes, I think, wrote most of our lives in the 1980s, guys. I feel like he was like... the essential map of me growing up. Definitely. All his movies were somewhere in my life. I felt like I'd been there and done it. And you know every single song on the soundtrack. Yes. Every single one. You remember right when the scene was. And absolutely. Yes.

And more in the 80s than any other genre. I don't know why, but the 80s was that way. You can put in a movie, let's just say... uh top gun for instance you put in top gun and there's certain songs that come on and you immediately relate to it exact same take my breath away yes Number one lovemaking song of the 80s. Take my breath away. And then you got Danger Zone. I mean, great. Yeah.

and you you remember exactly crank out this list greg let's hear it all right let's go all right we'll do the uh we'll start with the variety like we really like variety or something right uh this was from may 28 2022 and here's their top 25 and they're ranking it from number, should we start from number one or go from 25 down? I would say number one because we're going to lose focus before 25.

All right, here we go. Yeah, because we're going to know those ones by the time you get to 17 or 18. It may be more obscure. This is true. All right, here we go. The number one soundtrack that Variety came up with for 1980 soundtrack. Can we guess it? Let's go to you, Brian. What do you think it is? Are these just specific songs or an entire soundtrack? The whole soundtrack. See, that's a hard one because...

there's heavy hitter songs in a movie that define that movie, but then there's movies where it has so many songs in that movie that combine as a total. So that's a tough one. What's your guess? I mean, Back to the Future's got two Huey Lewis songs in it that are huge, so I know that's going to be in the top ten probably. Oh, man, let's see here. Oh, gosh.

I would guess maybe Back to the Future, maybe Flashdance has two giant ones, Maniac and What a Feeling. That would be another guess of mine. I'm trying to think of overall. St. Elmo's Fire has Man in Motion and some other good ones. I have a bet. One more guess would be Rocky 4 has several. Survivor. Yes. I think. Hearts on Fire and so many good ones. Yeah.

I don't believe it's my favorite, but do you remember how sometimes they would come out with the soundtrack and it was like so popular that they had to come out with a second soundtrack? Yeah. Like part two and you have like another tape or another. CD or whatever. Not CD yet. I'm going to say I want it to be like Purple Rain, but I'm guessing Dirty Dancing. That's what I was going to say. Dirty Dancing. It's got three biggies, Dirty Dancing. Pearl, what do you think is number one?

The number one? Yeah. Oh, God. Not your favorite, but what do you think is the number one? Yeah, what do you think Variety has as their number one? Variety? Yeah. Sorry, I meant to say Footloose. I meant to say Footloose, not Durgan. Footloose is so good. Yeah. Variety might go with something like Beverly Hill Cops, maybe. Okay. Or Top Gun. Okay. You ready? Number one, Top Gun from 1986. Okay. The Miami Sound Machine, Kenny Loggins and Berlin. Welcome to 1986 in the Top Gun soundtrack.

From the Top Gun Anthem by Harold Faltemeyer, who scored the film. And it says, play softly over the opening credits to the Danger Zone cut. The film's soundtrack is part of pop culture like the film. Remember when Tom Cruise's Maverick serenades Kelly McGillis with you've lost that loving feeling at the bar? Music in Top Gun is an important part of the film and is an important soundtrack.

in film history. Jazz Tang. The Righteous Brothers. I forgot about that one too. That's right. Do y'all agree with that though? Do you feel like that's warranted? I don't think it's number one. I don't think it's number one because It just popped in my head right the last second there was Footloose because you got, let's hear it for the boy. You got the Footloose song. You have the...

What's that other song in there? Second song, too, in there, didn't he? The heaven helps the... I can't remember it. Yeah, and Footloose did have, and I look at it like a whole, like if you look at the whole soundtrack, Top Gun had three hits. There was three big hits on that album. There's others, but there was really three really big hits. I don't feel it would be number one. How could they beat out Prince, Purple, fucking Rain?

I know, right? Are we ready? Let's look at number two, though. Let's see what Top Gun beat out. All right, let's pass around. Who do you think is number two? Probably that Purple Rain or Dirty Dancing. Okay. Yeah, Dirty Dancing, I think. That's got to be up there. They had to put two soundtracks out. I know, right? All right, you ready, guys? Number two with Variety is Purple Rain from 1984. Oh, okay.

And it says, it's hard to think of a more self-fulfillingly prophetic film than Purple Rain, which was about a young musician overcoming his demons and rivals on his rise to the top and lofty prince to global superstardom. So, yeah. especially when let's go crazy god that song stayed forever out there god i love that song me too i still remember my boom box brian brian gifted me a boom box a couple years ago i love it sits right here on my shelf

But I still remember the first cassette was, I had the Prince Purple Rain. And I remember walking down, there was a high school below me. And I remember in elementary school, we'd go down there to football. On Saturday, football and all the elementary schools get together. And I remember having that thing up on my shoulders playing Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy. Ah, yes. And then one dove to cry. Oh, man, that whole album. Let's Go Crazy.

You were like John Cusack. You're like, oh. Yes. Boombox. Yes. It's like serenading. Say that. Say anything. That's another good one. That's right. That is. All right. Let's go to number three, guys. Number three. is 1989's Do the Right Thing. Oh, really? That makes sense. Now that you mention 1989, I just thought of one. Which one? One that is so loaded with songs top to bottom, but it's an obscure movie, Dream a Little Dream.

This movie, I swear to God, is a music montage from start to finish. There's more music in this than dialogue. I thought you were going to say another 89. What's your other 89? Oh, Heather's? Yeah. Nope. The other one. Top that. Top that. Oh, Teen Witch. They're never going to be the same again. That's a good one.

Well, it says right here, one has to go back to Midnight Cowboy or even Casablanca to find a film that is as inseparable from its signature song as Spike Lee's masterpiece, Do the Right Thing. Heard blasting out the Radio Raheem's boombox at key moments throughout the film. Public enemies fight the power, manage to channel all the narratives, unbearable tension, and righteous rage into five of the most explosive.

densely packed minutes of music imaginable so what i'm gonna do this is what i'll do i'll do the top five for variety and then we'll do the top five of entertainment weekly and see what we come up with okay so are they different Yes. Ooh, okay. All right, so number four is a cheat. They did a big cheat here, guys. Number four on Variety, they put in the John Hughes catalog, so it's pretty in pink, Breakfast Club, Weird Science.

How do you cheat like that? You can't cheat like that. No, no. That's a huge amount of music right there. All of his movies? Yes. Shut up. No. If you were going to put all his movies, I would have put it number one. That would have been it. Yes. No kidding. Don't Forget About Me by Simple Minds is one of the most recognizable. Forget about me. Oh, I can still see damn Bender throwing up his hand at the end. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, man. Walking across that football field. The typical 80s screen.

freeze at the end of a movie before credits roll yes Where it, like, freezes the screen. I love that. Love it. Yeah, so I call bullshit on this. You cannot throw all his movies into one and say, hey, here. All right, number five for Variety. is 1983's Flashdance. Oh, what a feeling. Irene Cara. Oh, what a feeling.

I love that. What other songs were on there? Maniac. Maniac. Maniac, the gas pump thing. Right. Or whatever, the car wash, or whatever she's doing. Yeah, Maniac, and then Oh, What a Feeling. Manhunt. Such a great dance. scene at the end when she does it to that. Do I know that one? Yeah, Blondie where she's going on a manhunt and she's dancing on the stage. Okay, okay.

All right. So there's the top five of varieties. And let's go over to Entertainment Weekly. Let's see. What do we think Entertainment Weekly is going to give us as a number one? Well, if it's totally different. Ghostbusters. Good choice. The way you said ooh makes me think that's not what it is. It's not. It's actually...

Not one I would have put on the list. I'll be straight up honest. You ready? Number one over here on Variety is The Big Chill. I almost said that. I almost mentioned that. I love that. I love that movie. I almost said that, even though I can't even name a song from it. But I knew it had a great soundtrack. I just watched that again recently. And what a good movie. I don't think I've seen it. Watch it. It's a bunch of like... old school friends that get together as adults kind of

It's just them talking, but it's so good. I don't know that I've seen it, but here's the soundtrack, Karen, so you'll know. There's legendary acts like Marvin Gaye, CCR, Clearwater Revival, Smokey Robinson, Three Dog Night, Aretha Franklin, Temptations. Glenn Close, Kevin Kline, William Hurt and Jeff Goldblum, among others, are in the movie. I remember it. I think I was too young for that to appeal to me then.

And I just haven't gone back to watch it. I'm sure I would like it now if I saw it. It almost feels like with the cast, it's almost like a St. Elmo's fire is what it feels like. I was about to say that. It's like a St. Elmo's fire, but adults. Okay. Okay, cool. All right, so here's number two. Are you ready? I do agree with this. We've already heard it, but it's 1983's Flashdance is their number two. So I'm agreeing with that. Number three, Footloose.

I'm totally okay with that. Footloose has got such an amazing soundtrack. It does. Let's hear it for the boys. You know, 0010 Mitchell and me talked about that song somewhat recently, I think. What about Bonnie Tyler's I was like, he brought it up, and I said, man, I remember in the 80s on my boombox, I would pop a cassette tape in, and I remember when the song was played every hour, I'm like, I gotta catch a song from the beginning, gotta catch it from the beginning, and I finally caught it.

Because, you know, you hit record, but then if it wasn't that song, you'd stop, rewind, and then wait and see if it was the next song that came on. And I finally caught it one day, and I was just in love with that song. It was such a good song. What about Bonnie Tyler's holding out for a hero, that scene with that? I love that song. Yes, that is a good one. What was the song that was playing?

Pearl and I was watching this yesterday, I think it was. What was the song playing when they go to the fast food, they pull up to the diner? outside and she gets out of the car and puts the boom box up and starts playing a song and everybody just randomly starts dancing whether it's you know the cook or whether it's you know everybody starts dancing to this one song and it's so weird like there's somebody in like

a phone booth starts dancing and then john lithgow the father who's a minister shows up and you're like oh everybody gets quiet i cannot remember i haven't seen that movie in forever oh god watch it karen it's still so good okay number four 80s dance montage. Number four, I'm going to back this one as well, and it's 1987's Dirty Dancing. Yeah. Oh, God.

You know, we listened to the soundtrack so much when we were kids. Not much talked about song in that. Is it Chantilly Lace? Is that the song? Baby. Oh, sweet baby. Baby. Oh, sweet baby. Yeah, that one. I want to know if you'll be my girl. Oh, be my girl. I knew it was something like that. I can't remember if it was that. No, that's hey baby, hey baby, hey. No, that's Gwen Stefani. Hey baby, hey baby. No, it's a hey baby, I want to know if you'll be my girl. Okay, okay.

That's the one that was in it? Okay. I don't know why I thought it was Chantilly. And the one you were talking about, Footloose, is Dancing in the Sheets. Yeah, Dancing in the Sheets. It's like this weird song. It's intro and like, yeah, in the movie Footloose, and there's this scene like...

And she, the main actor, I can't even remember her name now, but anyway, she had already just did the little chicken with the tractor trailer going down the road, and she's hanging in between two cars. So then they pull up to the restaurant thing or whatever, which is basically like where they roller skate out, kind of like a Sonic or whatever.

Whatever you got. Lori Singer. Lori Singer. Thank you. Lori Singer. And she cuts this song on a cassette tape and then just like literally everybody in a mile radius starts dancing and hearing this song. I'm like, what? This is stupid. What the? Fuck! No one does this. Nobody!

But we don't live in a town where you're not allowed to dance. This is true. So maybe we would. We even have the guy in that movie in the scene that starts, he eats a French fry and then he starts doing the gyration where he starts just doing the real fast.

That was a damn good French fry, I'll tell you that. All right, number five at Entertainment Weekly to round up at the top five was Purple Rain from 1984. Another great one. Number six was E.T. the theme is great but it's not really what i would consider a great soundtrack the score is great i don't even know what the theme was Yeah, I don't know. That doesn't stand out to me. No, that's a John Williams masterpiece. Yeah, that's the score. John Williams has the score for E.T.

Fancy TV? Yeah. In my head, that sounds like Star Wars. I know. Well, it is John Williams. There you go. Everything sounds like Star Wars to Brian and I. Number seven of entertainment was Back to the Future. That's a good one. Number eight. I love the power of love. Number eight was... 1984's Beverly Hills Cop, which I love that freaking soundtrack. Another good one. You know, I'm so pissed after our last trivia one. Until this day, I'm like, how do we not get the heat is on? Okay.

I know that song. I know that opening scene by Hart. It's like, it showed the montage of the whole city, like, you know, the homeless people and everything. And it's like, how the, like, that last trivia episode, I think we... We drank way too much of that. In fact, we drank so much, I didn't even remember what I even rambled about on that. So I did go back and listen, which I hate listening to my own voice, going back and listening to the crap.

But I went back and listened, and I'm like, I went on a rant about he's back, the man behind the mask being... on uh friday 13th part six but it was yet the alice cooper song i'm like that's cord in the rv and it's like no that's alice cooper or whatever song of uh i'm like the song they were talking about was in the end credits

I'm like, oh, God, people are probably yelling at the phone. There was probably a lot of yelling at the phone. I'm like, I'm a Friday 13th master. I know everything. And I'm like, you're so stupid. Let's round it out. Let's go number nine, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 1986. Okay, we've got Oh Yeah by Yella. Yes. Yeah. What's his name? Hops on the bus in the end. Yeah. You know, the pedophile guy that cut out a BLG too. Oh, yeah. The check it up, baby. Yeah.

Twist and Shout by the Beatles. Oh, yeah, when he sung that in the parade. Yes. Number 10, they had Pretty in Pink from 1986. So why that one over 16 Candles or The Breakfast Club? Or even Weird Science. Or even Weird Science. Yeah. And that Oingo Boingo song or whatever. To me, like 16, that...

Sixteen Candles is my favorite. Then maybe Weird Science. But I think Pretty in Pink is my least favorite of the soundtracks. Agreed. Agreed. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that soundtrack. There's a couple songs in there. Like, that's my least favorite of the movies, too. I'm with you, Karen. Her dress was so ugly. It was. Built up throughout the whole movie. She makes her own shit. And I was like, oh, I cannot wait to see her dress. And then I was like, what the fuck is that?

And she shits all over Ducky. Yep. Poor Ducky. She wants to damn Andrew McCarthy. Just such a shame. Speaking of Andrew McCarthy, another good 80s song was from Mannequin. What was that song from Mannequin that was so huge? It was... the jefferson starship uh yes yeah nothing's gonna stop us uh something nothing's gonna stop us now yes yes didn't they have that song about getting get into my car too wasn't that out of that

Get into my car. Is that my dreams? No, that was, I think I sent that. That was Romancing the Stone. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. No, you're talking about a different song. Yeah, Starship. guy, whatever, starship trooper. It used to be Jefferson. Nothing's gonna stop me. Pearl's over there quoting starship troopers. I know. That's such an 80s film movie though.

Number 11, and we don't mention it, Brian, this is the theme of our lives, and it is John Cusack holding up the boom box and say anything. 1989. Oh, God. Such a great scene, man. Outside her house, spoofed in Deadpool Part 2. Everybody raise your hand. Everybody raise your hand if you did that, if you stood outside with a boombox serenading somebody. I did, and I got lucky that night. Oh, God. Number 12, Stand By Me, 1986. Yes. Oh, God, yes. Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis.

oh god some great songs what a great stand by me was a great song and it just kept encompasses how amazing that movie is the tone of that song and what it does for that movie it's just so good And we'll name off the next... Oh, bless his heart. I mean, the cast of all four, Corey Feldman, River Phoenix, Will Wheaton, and Jerry O'Connell. All four. And then Richard Dreyfuss narrating it.

I mean, what an amazing – this movie is a 10 out of 10 for me. I watched it a million times in the 80s, and it still holds up to today. Yep. So good. And I'm going to name off – Speaking from the short story, The Body. By Stephen King. Exactly, which is a good, good, good fucking short story. Love it. I'm going to name 13, 14, and 15 off a variety, and I'm going to call bullshit just because these should be way higher than where they're at. But 13 is Top Gun.

14 is The Breakfast Club, and 15 was fucking The Goonies. Fuck you, Entertainment Weekly. How is The Goonies not way up here? What's her name? Cindy Lauper. Yep. Cindy Lauper. Cindy Lauper, good enough. good enough what else was in there there was the bangles i got nothing reo speed wagons where you uh wherever you're going it's all right uh but the good enough song was definitely there oh yeah

I saw the Goonies two times in the theaters when it came out in 1985. And Good Enough is one of my, it's probably one in my top three 80s soundtrack songs. And Cyndi Lauper, I know Madonna for you, Greg, and I love Madonna. Don't get me wrong, I do. But for me, it's Cyndi Lauper in the 80s. Good enough, that video. Did you ever see the music video?

The extended music video. It basically plays out the movie at the gas station where they break through the wall and go into the Goonies thing. And they even have like Rodney Piper, Iron Sheik, and... Lou Albano, who played Mario in the Super Mario Brothers cartoon series thing. And Cyndi Lauper is so freaking amazing. Cyndi Lauper, I even know this, that she didn't play good enough at concert.

for 20 years. Until 2005, she wouldn't even play it live. I don't know why. Why? I don't know. I think she thought it was a weird, I don't know. But then growing up in the 80s, I got the Goonies 2 Nintendo game. Yes. And it played it in the background of when you got to the first level and the end level, it played good enough chiming in.

And Cyndi Lauper was my childhood. Girls just want to have fun. Lou Albano in that video, you remember watching on MTV? So great. He played the dad coming in from the bedroom when she was on the phone. True Colors, Time After Time. All Through the Night, not even a talked-about song by Sandy Lopper. All Through the Night is such a good Sandy Lopper song. It is. But Good Enough is my favorite Sandy Lopper song. This was my childhood in the 80s was Good Enough. Yes.

All right, and I'm going to jump back to Variety real quick, and I'm going to send this over to Pearl and let her throw us some stuff here. But I've got to give this because this is for you, Pearl. What? Number 11 on Variety was Urban Cowboy from 1980. Oh. Which is a really good country soundtrack. It is not country. I don't think I know any of the songs.

Yeah, the Looking for Love from Johnny Lee. Looking for love in all the wrong places. See, that just makes me think of Eddie Murphy and Looking for Nub. All right, check this out. Yeah, Looking for Nub was a great... I know. Looking for nothing. Looking for nothing. Oh, my God. Nightmares. I know, right? All right. Here's their 12 through 15. Number 12 was The Big Chill.

number 13 good lord 1989's the little mermaid i'll vouch for that disney as a soundtrack hey i played this soundtrack and you know that i don't have no shame i'm in the middle of the night singing part of this world like playing uh like the poor unfortunate souls It's good. I just feel like Disney movies are in their own little thing. Number 14. Number 14. I love the soundtrack. I will give it to them. It's 1987's Good Morning Vietnam. Oh yeah, that was a good one.

Because it had all the old 60s. I was going to say, none of them are 80s songs. No, it's all 60s. No, nothing. Nothing in there. And then they finished it out with Wild Style from 1983, which I do not know this movie. What? Hip-hop was not initially an LP-friendly... genre, but I have no clue. Cold Rush Brothers, DJ Grand Wizard, Grandmaster Kaz. I don't know this movie at all. Me either. That's a breakdown movie. Alright, so enough of that. Little Shop of Horror 17. Bam.

There again, no 80s songs in that. Wait, Little Shop of Horrors? Yeah. That 1985 movie was... That was really good. We saw that on a... At the Muni... at forest park it was a open air like outdoor stage play thing and they they did the they did a reenactment of the 1985 movie with rick moranis and the three quartet

of those singers in the background always taking the next scene yeah little shop of horrors had a great soundtrack it really did i should totally and i probably won't have time to do this because we're This got dropped tomorrow night. But I should totally go back and find where Dr. Shot's son suddenly see more way back on the episode on LOTC and insert it right here. The Christmas episode. He does so good with that.

song when he saw suddenly seymour i don't know maybe i can do that i'll see if i can squeeze it yeah it was awesome uh so pearl what do you got over there you got some stuff you wanted to go over and then we'll pass it to brian and karen too and we'll get some stuff going I'll do a couple because I got so many on here. Okay. But if you're going to start with the 80s, I'm going to start with Olivia Newton-John because Xanadu came out in 1980. Xanadu. And there wasn't...

Not playing Magic. Yeah. You know, Magic was like the most played in that soundtrack. I feel like it's more for the music because I don't know as many people that knows the movie. Well, yeah. But they definitely know the music. Well, it's not like an Oscar-winning movie, but there is great music in it. Oh, my God. I cheer up every time I hear that song, Magic Man with Olivia Newton-John. I love it. I love it. I still haven't brought my... I mean, I...

I've gotten as close as watching Grease repeatedly, but I still cannot bring myself to watch Xanadu since they're passing. I bought the Blu-ray, and we have still not even cracked the Blu-ray open because Pearl can't. I can't. It hurts. It's like, I feel like, I mean, growing up with her and her music, I feel like I lost my best friend. What's another one there, love? Well, we already did Back to the Future. We mentioned those, but...

I can't get over it because I'll still hear it out of the blue, especially with the damn Cobra Kai, but the Karate Kid soundtrack from 1984. You're the best around. You're the best. All right. Never gonna get. And then you got the Cruel Summer. Oh, Cruel Summer. That was a Bananarama, right? Yep. Was it Bananarama? Yep. Yeah. yes and then you got feel the night when they're in the arcade playing around feel the night feel the night sing it brian

Feel the night. No, no thanks. Come on, help me out, bro. I've done my fair share of singing tonight. Well, let's see if we can get Brian to sing maybe this one. Okay. 1982. Who's that guy? Score tonight is Grease 2. Grease 2. Oh gosh. I refuse to. But if you really want to know what I want in a guy. Looking for a dream on a mean machine with hell in his eyes. Okay, that's it. I'm done. Karen, you got to finish. That song in Grease 2 right there. I got the movie memorized.

I had never seen this movie until I met Pearl. What? Yeah, I had never even knew there was a Grease 2. And I'm like, what the fuck? There's a lot of movies I introduced this boy to because, yeah.

this was not on my radar i was a slasher i didn't i didn't watch such things as this and then pearl's like oh and then she started watching like okay it's not bad and thing is i'm a creature of habit you know i'll i'm so alternative that you know of course i'll listen to like freaking middle black metal or like disney on one second and then something but the one thing i'm always listening to consistently is movie soundtracks

So he knows everything from Xanadu now to like 16 Candles to all that shit. The first time I've seen... Reproduction. The first time I watched Grease 2, I thought... You know, I was doing like, it's not bad, right? But then I've seen it like... 20 times with her. Since then, I'm like, okay, it's not bad. Since then, now he walks out the door singing the song. I'm like, damn it. A girl for all seasons. Yeah. How's that go, Karen?

We're going to score tonight. We're going to score tonight. We're going prowling. We're going prowling. I always feel bad with that song because they hated the way the girl sang that they even took her out of the soundtrack. Oh, you're talking about the one where they're in the bomb shelter? Do you agree with that, Pearl? Because DiMucci, he takes her in there, and her voice is so high and shrieky. I hate it. I hate it.

I did too, though. Did they not have the perfect scenario in this movie? He basically takes the girl into the bomb shelter, and he's telling her that the world is fixing in, they're fixing a bomb, and the one thing they should do is they should... Constantly. They should have some sexage going on. We have to repopulate. We got to repopulate. We got to do it for... How did they put it? We got to... We got to do it for our country. We got to do it for our country. Do it for our country.

The red, white, and blue. They're going back and forth with it. They're all, let's do it for the Statue of Liberty or the Grand Canyon. Or Dizzyland. And they start getting ready to do it. And then what happened? Something went off. I can't remember. The intercom or something went off. Something interrupted him. And he's like, oh! No, they're doing the siren thing outside the door. it's so stupid it's so stupid

But I'm like, I wish I could have scored with a chick in school like that. I wish somebody would have had my back and be like, yeah, take her in there and we'll just do this whole scenario. It would have been perfect. I know. Oh, God dang. I know. I also love that Rockalula. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a good one, too. I loved that. This is her favorite. She loves this over grease. The original movie. She loves this.

more than Grease. And there are a lot of people who like this more than Grease. I'm not one of them. I can see the funness out of it. That's why. The songs are more upbeat, fun, and goofy. One is a little more serious. Yeah, I like Grease 1 better, but I think the soundtrack overall of Grease 2 is better. Except for charades. It's fun. Yeah. Fuck that. It's fun. Okay. Fair enough. Yeah, he's not a great singer, really. Yeah. That dude. Nah.

not at all yeah that's well caulfield right i love yep i love one of the gang members i can't remember his name but the one that's in uh happy gilmore the one that you know you eat pieces of shit for He's the other biker guy. Whatever the taller guy was. Not the main. The guy with the face.

The Stinger? The one always next to him? Yeah, the one that's always with him. Yeah, the Stinger. Whatever his name was. I don't remember their names, but yeah. You eat pieces of shit for breakfast. Nogarelli. You know, Nagarelli, he, you know, the leader of the T-Birds, Nagarelli, did the entire tour of Grease on stage for years because he looked so, Grease won. Yeah, the Grease won.

um stage play and another one i my parents took us to in the mid 80s to see at the meeting at forest park here in st louis and he did a fantastic job portraying john travolta in grease one he's a really talented guy And he portrayed Nagarelli, the leader of the T-Birds in Grease 2. And I think he's tremendous. I thought he was really good. Wait, I thought Adrian's med was the guy who did the... That's him. Yeah, that's him. Really?

Yeah, Adrian Zamet. He played Nagarelli in Grease 2. And he portrays Danny Zuko in the stage play of Grease 1 throughout the 80s. Because after they saw him, I guess, in Grease 2. They're like, dude, you could play a perfect Danny Zuko. And he does such a good job. He's got a good voice. He could tuck a cigarette in his mouth. Didn't he do that show with Heather Locklear and Captain Kirk?

Captain Kirk, you said it all there. Wasn't he in that show? T.J. Hoker, wasn't he in there? He was in Bachelor Party and... Yeah, he wasn't TJ Hooker, actually. Okay, okay. I'm not crazy. We knew you weren't, Karen. Yeah, but Grease 2 is probably my favorite musical of the 80s. It's right there with Little Shop of Horrors, but Grease 2 beats it out. I think Grease 2, top to bottom, has an amazing array of songs. Again, the only one I don't like is Charades, that one where Mac...

sings that slow song in the lunchroom. I think it's horrible. Yeah, I don't like that either. It's kind of like the Rizzo cutout song from Grease One. You know, every musical's got one bad song. That's true. I think me too. it on Annie. Because Annie was in the 80s, but I think I like this more. Oh, wow. This movie is so damn good. It is. The all-season song.

That's my favorite song in the movie. Yeah, that's my favorite song in the movie because they go back to it several times throughout the movie during the rehearsals and the final one is so good. Then, of course, Michelle Pfeiffer breaks out into her solo act and goes out of the... off script there but such a good song such a good movie hell yeah it was something we watched so many times and maybe unlike you that didn't see in the 80s you know I had a sister so my

We rented different type of things in the 80s. Like you, Greg, I rented the 80s Slasher. My sister would rent stuff like Grease 2. But I fell in love with these movies, watched them in the 80s, and we recorded it on another VHS tape.

We watched it so many times. Right. And I just loved it back then. Yeah, it was funny because, you know, my heart was always into horror. So other than horror was John Hughes. That was kind of all I was. I didn't see a lot of the say anything or do any of those movies until later.

in my life and then i like found them you know late 80s early 90s i started finding these movies you know renting them into vhs but you know early 80s no it was all horror and then all of a sudden yeah let's just say anything not bad breakfast club i fell in love with breakfast club i'm like dude this is like my anthem like this is you know everybody's in this movie that could ever be in any life

And then you finally saw St. Elmo's Fire. I finally saw St. Elmo's Fire last year for the first time throughout, from start to finish. I love that movie so much, man. It's a really, really good movie with an amazing soundtrack. soundtrack i learned how to do the um you know the hairspray with the lighter from that movie what's some other soundtracks you like karen what are some of your hitters oh gosh um Whole soundtracks, we named a lot of them, but I left one for you.

I mean, Labyrinth clearly is one of my favorites. And may I just beg Robert Eggers not to make a remake. I did the same thing. Jesus, dear Lord. Baby Jesus, please. Baby Jesus! But there were... Why the hell do we have to talk about this every 80s episode? Because he's about to ruin it. The movie that killed Jim Henson's career. Okay, carry on. I'll mute. Talk it up. That.

movie is perfection like you cannot have a more perfect movie than labyrinth guess what i woke up to in the uh morning this morning right about 6 30 when my alarm went off labyrinth was on Sorry. And then when I come back in, after I take my shower, I come in and what's playing? On Pluto, right after Labyrinth, they always do them back to back. Dark crystals. Dark crystals. The dark crystal. Yeah.

I was going to say Face Off. That was last night. That was before I went to bed. The soundtracks that I had in my head. I saw Dark Crystal in the theater. Me too. It's dark. It's dark. These are scary as shit. I know. My neighbor, my friend next door, her mom, his mom took us. And we talked about it all night.

I certainly remember this memory in the 80s. This is why the 80s are so fun. Remember these memories when you're a kid. I remember we came home and we just talked about it. He was in the upper bunk. I was in the bottom bunk. sleeping in his bedroom and we just we kept talking about talking his mom kept coming like i have to work tomorrow we got shut up you took us to it you're gonna listen

There's some songs in movies, like the Pat Benatar Invincible from The Legend of Billie Jean. I loved that movie and loved that song. Oh, Legend of Billie Jean is so freaking good now. It's such a good movie, yes. Me and Vicki watch that every now and then. Yeah, I need to re-watch it. I haven't watched it in a while. We got the Blu-ray. We need to pop that in and watch it again. It's been a couple years.

Oh, it's so good. Yeah, make sure you turn it up to 11. Yeah. But Spinal Tap is another really good movie, which... at the time i can remember um i was working with someone who thought who was like a big um metal person and she thought the movie was so depressing and i was like no it's hilarious it was so funny i love all the music spinal tap. It's probably because he choked on vomit, but...

We didn't know whose vomit it was. The bangles, hazy shade of winter. I hated the movie less than zero. I thought it was so depressing, but I loved that song. Um, I'm trying to think. Yeah. Queen did a great soundtrack for Highlander in the 80s. Flash. Where they had a bunch of songs from the Highlander soundtrack. What about Flash? Oh yeah, Flash Gordon. Flash! Oh! Oh, boy. Come on, Brian. You backed me on that one.

Flash Gordon, hell yeah. I watched that so many times in the 80s. But back to that Bangles, Eternal Flame. Man, we listened to that song so much as kids, and now it's like as an adult, when I want to be depressed, I just turn that song on. Do you remember the movie with Susanna Hoffs in it from the Bengals, The All-Nighter? No. From the 80s? She was a crush. She was a crush of mine. It's a terrible movie, but I loved it and I watched it like a million fucking times.

I liked the Hazy Shade of Winter song, but I thought Less Than Zero was an incredibly depressing movie. But The All-Nighter with Susanna Hoffs is such a great 80s movie. I love that movie. so much. All Nighter. Boomerang sang a song in that, and so did Bloody White Mice. Okay, so 1987, All Nighter. The all-niner. And oh, do you guys remember Satisfaction with Justine Bateman and Liam Neeson?

I don't remember if it was a TV movie or not, but she was like the singer of this band and they went to play like at this beach place for the summer. Yeah, it was a TV movie. So good. Okay, I'm watching the trailer for the all-nighter right now. I've got to watch it. It goes, Susanna Hoffs in her panties. What the world? The all-nighter is so good. The satisfaction also has, I think it's...

Julia Roberts is in it too. Yeah, Julia Roberts. Her and Deborah Harry. Joan Cusack. Is Pam Greer in this? Oh, I love that movie. Pam Greer. I gotta watch this movie. Oh, hey. Hello. Yeah, I definitely need to watch this movie. I used to watch Montana. I was in the trailer. Hello. Hey. It was like a California beach summer movie. Oh, I loved it so much. She was just such a crush of mine, man. It was like, cause I was more into music than movies at one point. And it was like MTV and they were in.

man they were totally just engulfing you with the bangles when they first came out right like it was all about the bangles you know this female and you see suzanna hoff and you're like wow what an amazingly beautiful woman and she was everywhere like anywhere like it was Susanna Hoff so I was like yeah she's pretty and then she never got ugly she stayed pretty through her whole career like she's still pretty now you got good genes girl

Okay. What's that one song that you like that she saw? Oh, that was from Untamed Heart. That's not Susanna Hoffs. No? No. I thought it was. That's not Tori Amos. No, not Tori Amos either. God, I can't remember who that was. Everybody's screaming right now. Maybe we've seen her singing that on something. Maybe that's why I thought it was her.

Brian, everybody's screaming at us right now. That they added like a beat to it later. Yeah, because it was on Untamed Hearts and I remember hearing it on that. Yes. Brian I know you got some soundtracks over my friend I do because one of my favorite songs from a 1982 movie a Chicago song something I'll turn on if I Again, want to feel depressed or whatever, but it picks me up because it's such a good song. The Daryl Hannah, Peter Gallagher ending of Summer Lovers. Have you ever seen that movie?

I love the song that I am a man who... No, that's a good one. Fight for your honor. I have not seen Summer Lovers, bro. Hard to say I'm sorry. Okay. It's Chicago. Hard to say I'm sorry. This is one of the best songs of the 80s. It's an amazing song. Oh, me now. Oh, my God. I never want to.

Oh, dude, I'm a big Chicago fan. Me too. That is their bus song, I'll Die on That Hill. Okay, let's do this real quick, Brian. I'm not to interrupt you, but I'm going to interrupt you. All right, Chicago, because there's been multiple singers. Who is your singer for Chicago?

Oh, gosh. I don't know. I can't go deep in that band. I just know I love that song. Peter. It's the guy who was singing that song. Yeah, Peter. Yeah, you got to go with Peter. Peter Cetera. That's right. You got to. Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, go ahead, Brian. Sorry.

Who else were the singers? Yeah, they've had three different singers. I know all their songs, but I haven't looked that deep into it. Yeah, let me look it up real quick. You can continue talking about Summer, because I've never seen Summer Lovers. It's Suzanne Vega that sings that song you were talking about. Oh, thank you. Suzanne Vega, Tom's Diner.

Oh, yeah. Duh. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. Every time you guys sing, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. I'm thinking, putting on the ribs. I know, right? I'm thinking of that. There was an article that I read that showed the top 10 worst songs of the 80s. Oh, it's putting on the riches on there. I'm going to snap. I would like to read you the list. And my comments on the list as I wrote them. Number 10, and this is according to Rolling Stone magazine and their readers. Number 10.

Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. My comment? Fuck off. Right there. You know why, though? Because people got so sick to get Rickrolled in the 2000s. I don't care. They just ruined that song. They ruined that song for everybody. That's still a good song. Number nine. Putting on the Ritz by Taco. And I said. Oh. How dare you, was my comment. Number eight, Hey Mickey by Tony Basil. I love that one. I love that song.

Oh, Mickey, you're so proud. Number seven, Don't Worry, Be Happy. What's wrong with you? Oh my God. Are you kidding me right now? I love that song. Number six, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco. And I said, am I being punked here? exactly that song man that thing played on a loop every five minutes on the radio when it came out i know yes it came out remember that movie amadeus it coupled with that movie amadeus yes number five

Safety Dance by Men Without Hats. And I wrote, I know this has to be a joke. That was such a good song. I love Safety Dance. Number four. Safety. Oh, safety dance. Okay. I know that one from like 1982. Yeah. Okay. Number four, clutch your pearls. It's wake me up before you go, go by William. Really? Oh God. I wrote Rolling Stone can burn in hell. Number three. Number three. It's not my favorite. Lady in Red by Chris DeBerg.

Not really one of my favorites. But really, this is the third worst song of the 1980s. Number two, The Final Countdown by Europe. Oh, my God. They play that song in the first and the last. Every concert they do. It's on all the time. It's in commercials. It was in TV shows. We see it all the goddamn time. Dude, that was the epitome of hair metal in the late 80s. I love Europe.

Oh, screw them. Okay, what's number one? The number one worst song of the 1980s is We Built This City by Jefferson Starship. And I wrote... I hope you all die, was my comment. Every one of those songs, except maybe one, I would turn up if I heard it on the radio.

i agree with you karen lady in red's the only one on the list i agree with because we built this city is an amazing 80s song that song my childhood i had this definitive memory of when i was in like a preschool or probably it's probably a kindergarten or first second grade we had nap time and the teacher turned that song on every day she turned it on or she put the radio on and that song came on because it was on like

play on the radio all the time back then. And We Built This City is such a good song. We built this city on rock and roll. Yeah, so I hate Rolling Stone magazine now. Oh, me too. I've always hated actually Rolling Stone articles. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by fucking Wham and George Michael. Go fuck yourself. Wake me up before you go. That's a great song. It's so peppy and happy. I obviously hate being happy.

That Don't Worry Be Happy kind of makes me think also of Jump in the Line for the Beetlejuice. Shake, shake, shake. Okay, I believe you. you know there was another okay let's turn this back down to a depressing note here because i'm a debbie downer on this episode you want you want to know something i forgot to mention for

before we move on from soundtracks. And I think it was Greg P. Russell. I got a bone to pick with him because when I posted this, he said, I don't like this song. So Greg P. Russell. We're going to have some fisticuffs here. I love you, Greg P. Russell and Emily. But Arthur's theme song. Yes. Oh, yeah. In my head, I start singing Think of Laura. That's not the same song, right? No, it's not. Sing this one for me. Remind me. Oh, okay. Let me clear my voice here.

And I'm going to New York City. Oh, yes. That's what you can do for your love. You got to remember, right? That's a great song. Christopher. Yeah, Christopher Croft. Yeah, Arthur's theme song is amazing. Christopher Cross, which brings me to something I want to mention. Did you guys watch that Yacht Rock documentary? I think maybe on HBO Max. No, I haven't. Oh, it was so good.

It had a ton of, like, it was Yacht Rock from the early 80s. A lot of Christopher Cross, like, the Arthur theme song type stuff. Steely Dan and McDonald and... God, I can't even think of all the bands that were on this, but a lot of Steely Dan and things like that. It was a great documentary. It was Yacht Rock. It was called Yacht Rock. It was a very, very good documentary.

Brought back a lot of memories from, you know, like Steely Dan has a song, Reeling in the Years. Steely Dan has a bunch. I love Steely Dan. It may have been in the Devil's Rejects soundtrack, I think. I think that was in that. That sounds like it would make sense. Steely Dan has so many good songs. I'm a big Christopher Cross fan. That Arthur theme song.

Sailing is my favorite. That's a good one, too. But that Arthur theme song and the other one I mentioned, the Chicago Art of Say I'm Sorry, are probably my two favorite... downer depressing songs in the 80s. Yeah. Peter Cetera, after he left, Jason Sheff came in and he gave us songs. Let's see, it was Will You Still Love Me, Look Away, some songs like that. He took over after Peter left. That's a good one.

early mid 80s but uh and you would recognize his voice but peter's my voice that's my boy i love chicago yeah i never really delved deep into that as much as i love chicago i just have i have like a bunch of songs on my playlist so It's hard to say. I wasn't either. It's like foreigner, apparently.

You know, I have a Downer song, just to add with your Downer song. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Yay, let's get into Downer songs. Let's get into Debbie Downer songs tonight. Let's just... Well, because I started thinking, I'm like... The one that always hits me every time. I mean, yeah. Yeah, okay. Well, it's the one from The Outsiders. A stay-go from Stevie Wonder. The Ponyboy song. Oh, God.

Yes. That one always hits me. Yes. That whole movie's depressing, and I love every second of it. God, that movie's so depressing. I love the Outsiders, man. I'm so glad you brought that up, Pearl. The Outsiders is such a good drama. It is. Francis Ford Coppola. That song, yeah, it plays. Oh, my God. So freaking good. Good call, Pearl. Let's just keep it on a down note. How about...

We don't need another hero, Tina Turner, Thunderdome. Oh, God. That's a good one. That's a tearjerker. How about never-ending story, speaking of downers? I know, never-ending story, the poor horsey. Oh, yeah. The horse drowned in that thing. No, go ahead. I was just going to name another song. You go ahead. I know you were going to say something about singing in the theater and then bawling your eyes out. Well, because, you know, I've told you this story before.

My parents took us to the drive-in in 1985. Memory Story came out in 1984. And it was a double feature at the drive-in. It was Nevering Story. And then I guess I figured the kids would fall asleep. Then Return of the Living Dead was played next. That was the double feature? Yes. Because it was 1985. And me and my sister sat in the hood of the car and watched Return of the Living Dead.

That's why it's one of my favorite movies to this day. I still say brains to her and she hates me for it. I was 11 and she was like 7 or 8. Imagine a 7 or 8 year old seeing this movie. Well, Never Ending Story was demented enough for her to see. I was going to say, that's more triggering to me than Return of the Living Dead was the horse and never-ending story. That's right. My parents were so cool. They lost watching anything. Same. Same.

What about this one for a soundtrack? I got to throw this one out because we're going to go horror. And I got to go in with Lost Boys, man. That soundtrack. Oh, it's so good. Every song. And it's not. NXS is on there. Yes, Lou Grant. God dang, G. Tom Mack with Cry Little Sister, which is, of course, the... The dude with the saxophone. You can blow on that horn all night long. I still believe. I couldn't tell you who it is, but I remember the singing.

Tim Capello. That's it. I still believe. I think I said that on an episode on LHC where he killed an entire bottle of oil. I love the Lost Boys soundtrack though, man. That's like a... Tim Capello was amazing. And that was in a trivia episode. Me and Karen, I think, you know, I know that song, obviously, Does Not Kill. It's the opening theme when they're going through San Carla or whatever.

Pearl threw us off on that 80s trivia. She's like, the song that describes the brother, Jason Patrick and Star. relationship and i'm like what song was playing when they were like having sex i wasn't thinking like the theme song the main song right of course we know that and then it's played again when like max

you know, gets killed in the end and it plays it, thou shalt I kill. And I'm like, Pearl is a swindler. Leave it to Pearl. Leave it to Pearl. Put it right there at you and just throw a curveball at you. See, that's what Pearl's good for. Pearl's a sneaky one. She is. You know what?

I like my sneakiness, okay? Yeah, you do. I like your sneakiness, too. Her headphones still have devil horns, so I'm just saying. Yeah, they do. They are. Red devil horns sticking out. What about staying alive? With the Bee Gees? Staying alive. John Travolta. Oh, yeah. And then Far From Over with Frank Stallone. I got to give it to Brian Scott's Rocky IV. I think that's one of the greatest soundtracks in the 80s.

That was the Survivor song, right? Yeah. Well, no. No, no, no. Yeah, well, not all of them, but... Yeah, that was three. Eye of the Tiger is, but... Yeah. No, number four. I don't want to discount what Pearl said with Staying Alive and Saturday Night Fever. Those BG soundtracks, in fact, Saturday Night Fever was an entire BG soundtrack, I think.

I mean, those movies were great. But yeah, moving on to Rocky. I know Pearl has a great love of Rocky. Me and Pearl, actually, sometimes late at night after I probably had too many puffs of weed. Well, my kids don't listen to this episode when I said that. But remember Pearl? I'll screenshot or I'll take a photo of my TV. I'm like, I'm watching this. Yeah. It's Rocky IV.

what i love about this movie is that um burning heart okay and that is survivor karen it is survival that is that's what the song i was thinking of burning heart yeah survive survivor play yeah but then They play burn in heart when he first gets to Russia and he's jogging and this and that. But then when he goes to meet up with Adrian, when she finally gives in and comes to support him. And then it, then this is where it kicks in with hearts on fire.

Yeah, John Cafferty. It cuts straight to him doing his sit-up things, moving his legs up. Yes. And Adrian's watching him. And then he climbs the mountain and is like, Drago! Drago! Drago! Oh, my God. Hearts on Fire gives me the tinglys. I'm telling you, when I watch this movie, I could watch this. I know Pearl knows that. Pearl feels the same thing. Heck yeah.

Freaking amazing. Even the other songs, like the robot when it's playing that Double or Nothing Kenny Loggins song. And Gladys Knight, yeah. Yeah, and Living in America with James Brown. Hey! I do remember that one. Oh, yeah. When Apollo Creed comes, or yeah, when he comes out and when his American top hat.

you know his american flag top hat and everything and he's so confident and oh man james brown singing they put the floor when he's done he kneels down and they put the american flag over him it's like the epic ending to the introduction of the fight before the massacre happens. If he dies, he dies. And what about the Fright Night soundtrack? There's a whole bunch there from Brad Fidel that you guys were mentioning. But that's more like a... Gore, though.

Do we have songs? He's a good man in a bad time. Yeah, I give it up. Okay, yeah, Pearl plays. There's three songs. Armies of the Night. Armies of the Night, I hear. I hear that. Yep. What are you talking about? What are you talking about, Willis? No, and then I have to mention. I have to mention. Oh, my God. I do. Uh-oh. Yeah. Listen. Okay. Michael Perret.

and uh eddie and the cruisers on the dark side so good yes it is and even streets on fire but of course he doesn't really sing on that but yeah But, I mean, the songs are not 80s, but the movie's 80s. And I love that fucking movie, Eddie and the Cruisers. That song is from the 80s. On the dark side that he sings in on that one? Most of that's like older music, but I love that soundtrack. Is it? Yeah, sure it is. Not that one. The others are.

Eddie and. You look up Eddie and the Cruiser. Don't you. Don't you. Don't you. Don't you. Girl. Don't you dare go there. Don't you look at me like that. On the Dark Side song is really good. Here in St. Louis on Channel 11, KPLR. They would play Tales from the Dark Side replays late at night at 10.30 on Saturday nights. And the promotional material was that song. It was really cool. Wow.

You know, I'm not a country person, but, you know... dolly parton and nine to five oh that movie that was the 80s wasn't it yes roll out of bed pour a cup of ambition yes yep i love that song and who's that girl lilly tomlin I know that I watch that movie so many times. Ladies, 9 to 5 is amazing. Dabney Coleman. I love the part where she goes after him and tells him she's got a gun in her car. Oh, God, it makes me think of Lily Tomlin and, uh...

The Incredible Trinking Woman, that galaxy glue song. That's such a good movie, Pearl. I'm so glad you brought that up. That was a staple in the 80s on cable when I went to my aunt's house. Incredible shrinking woman. When she's in the sink and she's like really tiny. Yeah. She's trying to yell at the guy. Remember that? Lily Tomlin was such an underrated actress from the 80s.

I love her. How about that song from Legend? Love by the Sun. That one's such a good one. Tangerine Dreams. Yeah, Tangerine Dreams. Yeah, Mr. Stoke and John Cafferty, that was 80s songs that were written in, I guess they were written in the sound of the 60s. So there you go. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I wanted to clarify that before everybody started screaming at me. Oh, what about Risky Business? The old-time rock and roll? I played that a lot, too. Bob Seger. That's the best Bob Seger song ever. Oh, yeah. Well... Other than Midnight. What was it? God dang it. Bill, shut up. You're screaming in my ear right now, Bill. He's screaming in my ear the damn Night Moves. Is that Midnight Special? No, the Night Moves. I love that song.

Oh, okay. What about Beach Boys? Was there in the movie Cocktail, the Kokomo? Kokomo. Or Flying Navigator. I get around. I'm going to eh Tom Cruise. I don't care about Tom Cruise. We're all in. We're all in Tom Cruise. We're all going to eh him. Or what about fame with Irene Cara? You're not gonna, okay. I'm going to eh him. I'm not oomphing in Scientology, but I will not oomph his active skulls. Oh, my God.

He jumped all over the couch over Katie Holmes. I mean, come on. It was entertaining. It's funny because a lot of people say how Tom Cruise is such a sweet guy, but there are more horrible stories of how he's an asshole.

And you can legit see his two-face anyways. I mean, great. You know, you want to do your own stunts? Great. You're like... but it's like what about even those stories where like what's her name i forgot her name that the little blonde girl that came out in uh twilight she came on jerry one of the movies with him she came on world war z or something

with him oh was she in twilight dakona fanning i think her name is dakota fanning yeah yeah he treats her like a daughter gets her presents every year and does all these things with her but he doesn't do it with his own daughter he never did That's a shame. Yeah, I won't defend Tom Cruise. I don't know him as a person. I just know that I like some movies he's made. His 80s movies were good. Yeah, his 80s stuff was. And I like that he didn't really talk in Legend.

That's true, he didn't. He only had what, four lines? He just looked, he was there to look good. Yeah. He was in the Outsiders. Come on, guys. Yeah, and he didn't say much there either, which was good. Yeah, he did. Was he the guy that ate the cake all the time? No, that was the other one, Emilio Estevez. The Mickey Mouse shirt wearing guy.

Oh, yeah, Mickey Mouse. Yeah, he wore the Mickey Mouse shirt. What a tough guy wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt. Speaking of who's in there, though. Man, what a great cast Outsiders had. They did. That was a good movie. Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe. Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon. Yep. Ralph Macchio. Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell. And then, didn't you have the Sochas? Yep. You had Leif Garrett and...

There was another one. I forgot he was in that. And then, of course, the amazing, what's the girl? Red. I remember her name was Terry Valentine, but I can't remember her actual name. Oh, my God. It's going to drive me crazy. It's Diane Lane. Yes. What was her name in it, though? It was like a color. I don't even remember. What a good movie that was. True.

I have no clue. I'm out of it right now. Yeah, he's spacing out, right? But you know what else was in the 80s that, you know, even if they weren't songs that were just the themes that... they can never get out of your head would be like, like Indiana Jones, Superman, Poltergeist, E.T. and all that kind of stuff. You know, those themes like are forever embedded.

They really are. I feel like movies now don't put that theme in my head the way they did back then. They don't. I agree. Now it's more scores. Even the score. The score for Indiana Jones, like when you hear just the first few bars of that, you know what that movie was from. Yeah. Again, John Williams, he was iconic in the 80s.

And maybe it's just that the movies that we watch now, we haven't seen enough times to have that recognition, but I don't feel that with new movies. I agree with that. I agree. I think the newer movies just doesn't hit the dynamic that we felt in the 80s. And I think MTV had a lot to do with that, too. I think, you know, it's just of its era. I think it's just a different time now.

uh just can't hit that same flavor that we had then uh innocence but you'll never capture it again no there's a lightning in a bottle crazy yeah has any slangs or quotes or phrases From the 80s stuck to you even now? I mean, I'll say a lot of stuff. I don't think it ain't.

I do Where's the Beef all the time. I still say that. I'll be at work and I'll just randomly go, Where's the Beef? I don't know why. I do. I just randomly say, Where's the Beef? I think a few of mine... still for some reason stick out of the blue I think because I sometimes still say no duh and i'll say i'll say like totally is a big one yeah yeah well i'll say totally because of halloween i'll be like because pj that's 78 i'll be like totally

but remember back then definitely something yeah but remember back then how they like always say oh eat my shorts or they'll say talk to the hand or um who's the man with the plan it was just always something even We should know Valley Girl. Like, gag me with a spoon. Like, seriously. Ralph instead of barf. I still say that. Now that. Yes, Karen. I'll go, what's your name? Ralph.

Valley Girl was a big thing with the like. And Pearl brought up Heathers earlier. It has so many of those type of things in it. The nowadays version of like is when people start every sentence with literally. I did this. Literally, I did that. Literally, I'm telling. This is a nowadays valley girl. Yeah. Oh, when people first knew about ADHD, they started saying, take a chill pill. Right. Or psych. Psych? I used to say psycho. Fuck me with a chainsaw. I've never heard that. I used to say psych.

As if. Yeah, I've said that a lot. As if. Oh, yes. I do quote Clueless all the time. Oh, my God. As if. What else you got out of there, Pearl? You know, I was watching Totally Killer. again the other day and went back to 1987. I found it very funny that back then when you would go to somebody's house, you would knock on their door and be like, hey, is Jason home or whoever?

The dad, Lachlan Monroe, drops his daughter off at the house. She walks halfway to the door and starts texting, hey, I'm here. And he calls out the window. He's like, why don't you go knock on the door? And she's like, ew, gross. That's so rude. It's like no kid knocks on anybody's door anymore asking for their friend to text, hey, we're here. That's so funny to me. Remember you would just...

can so-and-so come out to play is what you used to say when I was a kid. Can so-and-so come out and play? Is so-and-so home? I think we talked about this in the episode before. How do you know where all the friends are in the neighborhood? The pile of bikes in the front yard. That's where you knew the kids, where your friends were in the 80s. What else you got over there, babe? You know what? I have 10 slogans here.

I'm going to say it, and I'm going to see if these two know where it's coming from. Oh, great. I have no clue where this is going. Oh, shit. Is this a quiz? Yes, it is. Kinda. I'll give you an easy one, then you'll know where this is going. I'll be back. Terminator. Yep. How about Snap, Crackle, and Pop? Are we just yelling out? Brian, we always yell out. We don't raise our hands. As Karen said last time, that's just what we do.

answer and try to drown each other out now let's see if you guys can remember this one i bet you not it's nice to feel so good about a meal so nice to feel about a meal yep It's nice to feel so good about a meal. I feel like a hungry man. Yeah, I was going to already say a hungry man. It's got to be something nutritious.

No, I bet you it's the opposite of nutritious. Nice to feel so good about a meal. It's probably like Tang or the equivalent food equivalent of Tang. It's food. I'll give you that. Swanson's frozen dinner. I don't know. What? Think more outdoors. Outdoors? Yeah. S'mores? Is it a s'mores? Take out. Think more take out. Take out. It's nice to feel so good about a meal. McDonald's? Nope, but you're getting closer. Party's?

Nope. Burger King? Nope. Wendy's? Nope. What the fuck? Wendy's is worth a beef. What are you talking about? What else is there? White Castle? It's KFC. What? That was good. I was just about to say. What? I don't remember that. I never heard that. I have never. I've always heard finger licking good. Because it's kind of like a home cooked meal all in like a bucket. In a bucket. Okay, the next two are easy. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz. Oh, what a relief.

Alka-Seltzer. Yep. How about be all you can be? Energizer? Nope. The army. The army. Energizer. Energizer. That went somewhere else. Brian's thinking sexual things here. Be all you can be. Energizer. Vicki appreciates that out of you, Brian, that you're the Energizer bunny over there. What did I say? Marines? It's the army? Yeah. I was close. You were close. Okay, how about this one? It said, because I'm worth it.

Because I'm worth it. I know this one because I'm worth it. It's like a bandaid. I was going to say bandaid. Not band-aids. I was going to say in the 80s. I was going to say in the 80s. I was going to say in the 80s. Brock shampoo. Okay, two more. Just say no. Who said that? Nancy Reagan. Nancy Reagan. Just say no to drugs. Yep. Man, that's easy. And the next one. Just put your brain on drugs. Right? Yeah, that too. And the last one, the choice of a new generation. Coke.

Pepsi. Oh, God. I'm not a fan of Pepsi. Me neither. Give me Coke. And a smile. You guys did good, though. They did. I sucked. Yeah, I sucked at that one. I was going to do harder ones, but I'm like, yeah. Keep it simple. I wouldn't even remember half of those. We are simple. Remember the Pepsi challenge in the 80s? I'm so glad Pepsi won. But was it propaganda? Pepsi put it on and they claimed they won. I like Pepsi better. Pepsi is better though.

i don't remember that cold pepsi yeah you would go into a grocery store and then they put like the live airings on like commercials and they'd be like a blind taste test coke or pepsi It was called the Pepsi Challenge. And the overwhelming majority was like Pepsi was better. See, I don't like the taste of Pepsi. It's too sweet. Yeah, I don't like the sweetness of Pepsi. Crystal Pepsi and then they have lime flavor one. Oh, the fake Coke. Yeah. Can you just give me the normal flavors?

Do you want the Coke or the Coke Classic? Remember, they switched the Coke thing and went back to Coke Classic. Well, that one, they had Yellow Mellow and they had Slice and all that. Yeah, they had New Coke thing, Coke Classic. Yeah. Let's go back to Coke Club. Just give me a fucking Coke. I don't care if it's classic. Give me a Coke. Give me my diet Coke and let me go. Remember back to the future? Can I have a Pepsi free? Free? You gotta pay for it, pal.

yeah give me a tab wait if you want a tab you gotta order something yep my mother used to buy tab and diet right Do you remember in the 80s when there was a rumor they put cocaine and coke? Yes. Coca-Cola. When Coca-Cola did start out, that is what it had in it. That's why we love it so much. That's the same thing for Madonna, Bryce. Brown's like, damn, no wonder I will have coke so much. Hey!

It did used to have cocaine in it. I don't know if that's where they got the name from, but yes, it did. See people snorting lines of Coca-Cola. No wonder it keeps them all in the taste test. It's the Coke. That's probably where the straw came from. We've been doing it wrong all along. We've been using it for the mouth. It's usually for the nose. You know, that's another thing from the 80s we didn't ever talk about was the giant in Miami. Miami in the 80s had 20. It was insane. They had...

I think I had read this somewhat recently. 26 out of 1,000 people have been murdered in the 80s in Miami because of the cocaine importing and the cartels. Pablo Escobar was so huge in the 80s. He was killed in like 1993 or something by the federal agents down there in Columbia. But Pablo Escobar and his, did you ever see that movie Blow? Yeah. It really encapsulates.

It really shows how amazing his empire was. He spent, I just watched a documentary on this, so it's kind of weird. From 1980 to 1989, in this decade of the 80s, He spent like $14,000 on rubber bands because that's how much cash he was bringing in. He spent like $9,000 a year or something stupid on rubber bands. to seal his cash up because they couldn't count the cash fast enough like that's insanity that movie blow is really good with johnny depp and

Bobcat Goldsmith or Goldwaite is in it. And somebody else is in it. But what a good movie. I remember when it came out, but I didn't see it. But... The 80s, to me, were all about Nancy Reagan saying, just say no. So I didn't know anything about Nancy. Worse than Nancy, it was Tipper Gore trying to... Silence. The PMRC. The horror movie is horrible. Music and movies. Didn't you guys talk about this on OT last time about how...

Imagine if Damien Leone made Terrifier 3, even that opening scene. Compare that to Silent Night, 1984, where this thing was pulled from theaters after two weeks in 1984. Can you imagine if they saw that? They would die if they saw terror fire. Yeah. And one last thing, and I'll shut up for tonight, is harkening back to you guys brought up Indiana Jones when we were talking about the scores. Mm-hmm.

A really fun fact was that parents freaked out when Temple of Doom came out in 1983, I think, or four, you know, part two of the Nina Jones series. There was so much gore and violence in it, like the pulling of the heart by that guy, by Molarama. Yeah. And it spawned the MPAA saying, we need a middle ground between PG and R. So they created a PG-13 rating. In that same year, later in the year, a movie in 1984 came out, the first PG-13 movie. Do you know what it is? No. No. Gremlins? 1984.

I mean, is it Back to the Future? It was a war movie. Oh. Red Dawn? Yes. Bam. That was the first PG-13? It sure was. Because of Temple of Doom earlier that year, they quickly implemented a PG-13 rating to distinguish between something that was too violent to be PG, but not... bad enough to be rated R. Red Dawn was the first PG-13 movie. Which is funny because all of our parents just let us watch whatever the fuck we wanted. Oh yeah, my parents took us anything. They didn't care.

I guess our parents must not have been like the rest of the parents. Because they were cool. It's like we are now. That's right. As long as they're out of my hair, that's basically what it was. Parents in the eighties were just so about pushing their kids away. Cause if you really think about it, we went outside from sun up and didn't come home to sundown. We, you know,

it was never any moment of like your parents wanting to be right beside you. I don't know. Go outside and play kids. Go, go play kids. Go play in the yard. Go play in the road. You know, Well, it wasn't even that, Greg. It was like, here's a BB gun and a lot of extra ammo. Yeah, go have fun. Yeah. Just come home with your eyes intact. The new commercial where we got the girl or the woman sitting down and she's got the cat and her kid cries out, Mommy, I'm bleeding. Get a Band-Aid.

I'm bleeding really bad. Get two. So it's like our parents were that way now. I feel like in the eighties, we're just basically go have fun. You know, as long as you don't die. you know because you couldn't call so it wasn't like everyone's cell phones and then you flash forward to the 2000s and the 2010s and now the parents don't want the kids out of their sight it's like no you can't go outside or you can't go do this you know you're right here on top of them

Maybe that's what's wrong with parents today. Maybe if they went back to just pushing them out the door, you know, everybody would be happier. Just go outside. Well, see, it's like even like the show that we watched, Roseanne. Yeah. Remember the one we were watching where like...

DJ was bugging her, and she's like, leave me alone. She's like, go play. Go play on the roof. And you hear him running on the roof. And Dan's like, get off of the roof. She's like, I just told him to play up there. Yeah, Dan. Dan tracks him as he's running across the roof. He tracks him across the room. Yes. Runs to the porch and grabs him as he comes down. Yes. Yeah. I know everyone was in an episode by heart. Me and Vicky watched it so good. It was bad.

I had been watching and they quit playing it on Pluto just when I was getting so into it, but I totally forgot about Growing Pains. And I was watching Growing Pains. And it was like episode after episode on Pluto, and I'm all into it. And then all of a sudden it's gone, and they've been playing perfect strangers, which is another fun show, but it's not fucking Growing Pains. Go back and watch Growing Pains. So freaking good. And he found his Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, shit.

That's the only thing that sucked was season six Leonardo DiCrapio shows up. But who else did it have? I hate Leonardo DiCrapio. Who? Who? What's her name from Halloween? If I were to meet you in person, we're going to fight it out. We're going to fight it out, and then we'll hug each other. No, wait, wait. We got to let everyone know that when you guys do meet each other, I'm videoing a certain part.

What, the kissing part? What? I didn't know you guys were going that far. You damn right. I'm going to lay a big old big enough in Brian's mouth. But anywho. Okay. Wait. Okay. Okay. That got really weird there for a second. I was thinking the part where like when we meet, we're going to do that. Rocky and Apollo Creek on the beach. Yeah. That's the part. We run and jump and hug. Yes.

but I don't know what Greg has in mind. I don't know. He just made you Adrian for a moment. I'm going to grab Brian in my arm and I'm going to look at him and I'm going to make him do the dip and I'm going to give him a big old... I just want to see Brian's leg go out. Are you going to make Brian not want to meet us? As long as there's no pegging involved, I'm done. Oh, my God. You know we've went south really quick. What else you got over there, Pearl? You got anything else tonight?

No, I'm 80'd out. She's 80'd out. I finished my soda. She drank two sodas already. Yes, I did. God dang, I drank my whole bottle of water. Oh, good for you. And my salty caramel. Probably need it. He did. Yeah, I've talked too much tonight, too. But one more thing, let me say. Back to regular songs. Tom Petty. is one of the best songwriters ever, in my opinion. I'm a big fan. And in 1989, he wrote Free Falling. And in his lyrics, he says, living in Reseda, Reseda, California. Trivia question.

Before we get off the air here, what movie did a family move from Newark, New Jersey to Reseda, California to start a new life in a station wagon in 1984? Was it a movie? Yes. Yeah, that's Karate Kid. Yes! Oh! Grace, my 80s brother. Yay! It took me a few seconds to register receipt, and I'm like... I heard that before. Wait a minute. Well, it wasn't receded that got me. What got me on that was when he said the station wagon.

Oh, okay. And moving to California. I was like, boom. And I was like, yeah. So I had to make sure that you were talking. Strapped a bike on the top. Yes. Sweet BMX bike. Oh, my God. Good job, Greg. Which bike did you like? Which bike did you like better? I think it was a Skyway or a GTA. It was a blue bike with... I'm not sure. I was all into it.

Definitely do not remember what kind of bike it was. Brian, I got to know, was your BMX back in the day, did you have the Mongoose? Was you a Mongoose guy? I had the Skyway 1987 or 1986. Street Styler. Sky blue. With the gyro intact. It was the shit. He had a bling bling one. You know what pisses me off about this? This bike's worth like $2,000 now.

And I don't have it anymore because I rode it over to this girl's house. A couple of subs in Dover. That was all hot for. And I left it at her house. And damn it. Her parents probably still have it. I'm so mad. I left it over at their house. Yes, I left my bike there. I specifically remember where I left this bike one time when I rode it over to somebody's house. If I had left a bike at someone else's house, my parents would have shit a brick.

I would have just picked it up next day. We always did that. I'm just curious, Brian, with your bike there, though, did you have the trick bars in the front on the wheels? oh yeah yeah like i said i had the gyro which is like the thing where it disconnects the uh brake things yeah where you can spin the handlebars yeah then i had the split open top thing you put your foot on it actually has the thing under the seat where you could like do the freestyle like

ride thing without your hands standing up. It has all the pegs going on and mag wheels. It was a Skyway Street Styler bike from 1987-ish probably. It was badass, man. Skyway. And this girl still has it. She still has it. Have you seen it recently? I've looked it up on eBay and things. It's like $2,000. I'm like, damn it. Brian, I'm looking at your bike right now. I'm literally looking at your bike right now. Sky blue and everything.

Yeah, I know. Sky Blue, Skyway Street Seller. Is it like the Ripper one? Oh my god, what they would be worth now. I know I was like 13 years old. But it was stupid me. I was riding the prime of like riding my bike to far places to try to meet girls and then doing dumb things like leave my bike there because that was the last thing on my mind was my bicycle. Yeah.

hate you life how dumb we were as kids we had no fear we had no nothing i'll be honest i'm looking at all these bikes are fucking i want one now let's let's wrap her up we are into our 80s chat 80 and we're going to do this again really soon so we'll we'll think of something else to do next because we got to keep doing our 80s chat man it's just fun it's never in

That's right. You can't never get over 80s. Yeah. That's right. We'll play Hollywood Squares or something. Yeah, that'd be fun. Oh, yes. Oh, we can do 80s bingo. Bingo? Yeah. How do you do that? Bingo, Hollywood Squares. Can I be Bob Euganks? Who was the one that did the... Oh, Family Feud. What was the guy that would go in and kiss all the girls? Richard Dawson. No, not Richard Dawson. It was the guy before him. Richard Dawson, yeah.

No, it was the guy before him. Richard was the one that killed himself. He was the host of the Running Man movie. I just remember the older guy that would go by and he'd kiss all the contestants in the mouth. Yeah, that was him. Yeah, the guy that was the game show host in The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was the host of Family Feud back then. And yeah, he'd be so creepy and walk up and have to kiss every girl. And try to kiss them on the lips, probably. Yeah, that is creepy.

Yeah, like I've seen an episode of it recently. They were showing old episodes, and like he went up and kissed this family. There was like three girls or whatever. One of the girls looked like she was like 14, and I'm seeing it, and they kiss each other lip-lock. He's like lip-locking these girls.

Yeah, it says Richard Dawson. Yeah, Richard Dawson. You're right. Okay, it was Richard Dawson. So he's legitimately like lip-locking these young girls. And I'm like, dude, that is so fucking creepy, dude. You're such a fucking... Go back and watch some of this, Karen. It will freaking make you feel nasty. I don't think I can. I can watch that. Oh, God. Can you imagine the Harvey guy now doing that? He'd be so canceled.

Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey is too smart to do that. He's a judge now. But he is funny though. I like seeing the show. Steve Harvey. So let's wrap her up, and then we'll do this again in the near future, guys. What we shall did here is we'll pass around our outros and any other 80s trivia, anything you want to throw, this is the time. But let's head over to Brian Scott first. Brian.

What you got for the final thoughts of this 80s chat? Oh, geez. Caught me off guard. Okay, I wrote down two quick things right now. In 1984, a one gigabyte hard drive. Costs $40,000 and weighed 65 pounds. Shut up. Imagine that. Yes. Imagine that nowadays. I know. That was a very random fact. And then this happens when you take too many shots. One song we didn't bring up was Vanilla Ice Ripped Off Under Pressure. Yes. The Queen and...

That one guy that had the big giant bulge in that one movie. I can't remember what his name is. You know, with that dance magic song. I don't remember. But... Vanilla Ice ripped off that song under pressure. And do you ever hear interviews with Vanilla Ice where he's like, no, it's not the same opening. He's like, their song is, their song is ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. He's like, my songs.

ding ding ding ding yeah i have one i have one note higher just fucking admit it man That's like Milli Vanilli trying to admit that they weren't, you know. That's not going to happen. I'm going to swear to the end. That's a whole other story. Let's get into that next episode. I watched a whole documentary on that. I got a whole lot to say about that. Yeah. Thanks for the 80s chat. Part seven. Let's do a party. Hey, for life.

Follow Horror Movie Fanboy. You're going to hear him really soon on a podcast giving his top 10 of 2024. I cannot wait. This will be awesome. Yes, sir. Love it. All right, Karen, what you got? Final thoughts and plugs or anything like that? What are you going to throw at us? I can't think of anything else from the 80s. I told Pearl that I was so excited to have a midweek.

cocktail with you guys and talk 80 shit. And I didn't even do any research because I sort of thought it would spin out of hand just like it always does. Um, And as always, it was an incredibly good time. So I can't wait to come back and do this again. Hell yeah. All right, Pearl. You know what? I just noticed. What?

I noticed that the titles of a lot of 80s songs makes you, like even right now, like you can't help but think like, wait a minute, why do they all kind of match up? You know like, one of them says I'm so excited, the other one wants to beat it. Because one of them busts a move. But it's here for the boy who just wanted to push it. What? And then it take on me. But you gotta wake me up before you go-go. But they're not even asleep!

I know that, but relax. Don't do it. I'm just saying, when you look at the title. Under pressure. That's what most guys are saying, under pressure. No. I feel you. Don't you want me? What the fuck did this come from? Word up. Word up? Okay. That's because she works hard for the money. Sorry, I'm just saying across my mind I had to say it. You know what happens when I do that. No more soda for you.

Can I just have one more? Okay, sure. Give us one more. Huh? No, I said soda. One more soda. Oh, no. You ain't getting no more soda tonight. Hell no. Aw, man. You're cut off. You gotta drink water tonight. You spin me around. All right, move it on. Okay, never mind. Okay. Yeah, this was fun. See? See? Now it's going to be in your head, too. Yeah, it will be in my head because you'll play it. That's why. how will i know greg you're in trouble tonight man

Just saying. Dude, she's evil. Pearl's in the mood. If you only knew how evil this girl really is. She legit, I know she does this because I'll wake up with a song in my head and I'll hear her start laughing because she hears me singing it. I'll be singing in the shower. or get out or whatever. And she goes, ha, ha, ha. And I'm like, what? She said, hey.

because i was playing it last night so i know she purposely puts a her phone with songs up to my ear while i'm sleeping and then i wake up with it and i'll wake up singing some random just song out of nowhere i'm like where the did i hear this song Okay, I do do that. I know you do. I'll...

Play a mix. I'll do three to five songs and see which one he picks up the most. I'll even do the Exorcist theme. Every time, Brian. And she will laugh out loud. I'll be in the kitchen humming or singing a song and she'll start laughing. bedroom ha ha ha and i'm like damn it he did it again i'll even do jim i have to actually i have to actually show this album on uh on record

What a great score. It's amazing. Oh, hell yeah. If you ever want to scare the shit out of yourself, go listen to it. Hey, I do fun ones too. I do Jim. I have woke up singing Jim. Jim! is simply or truly amazing. Outrageous. Outrageous. Yeah, it is. Great cartoon. Superstars. Yeah. Turn into superheroes. I'm guilty. I'm the one who made Brian have pudding on the wrist in his head. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

You put that in all of our heads. Oh, yeah, I did, huh? Yep. No, but anyway, this was fun. He's been singing it for like a week. Wait, wait, what song? Texting. Putting on the Ritz. You're constantly dressing about the Ritz. Trying on hard to look like Gary Cooper. Super duper. I played, you know what?

The other day, driving to school, I played it for my son. I played four songs. I played Metallica. I played Guns N' Roses. I played Motley Crue. And I played Tacos, Put It On The Ritz. He and I Put It On The Ritz and Bust. He liked all four. He's like, that one was really fun. I'm like, yay. Play it again, Dad. That's awesome. One of the worst. Top 10 worst songs of the 80s according to Rolling Stone magazine who can go fuck off. Yeah. Agreed. Geez. Out of all songs too. Yeah. Well.

I know. I better hurry up because I am getting hyper off of the soda because it's finally kicking in. It's kicking in now that we're ending. That means he's like, oh, I'm going to be bugging him. It's a never ending story. Shut up.

That's a good thing, Greg. Nothing better than attention from your wife. It's just the attention she gives me. Snuggle time in bed tonight. That would be okay.
