It took us until now...and stop calling us "Shirley."This was Shonda's 1st time watching the firm.

(Actually, near-future... 2029!) We had a blast revisiting the classic 1984 film, The Terminator.We re-watch classics like Porky's, Hardbodies, and Meatballs and dive deep into the cringe-fest films that warped a generation. Jimmy and Johnny are brothers who grew up in the 80's and both worked at a West Coast Video rental store for one horrific summer.

It's like "Star Wars" if you ordered it on WISH.com. It has plenty of ridiculousness that makes it fun to watch. And even though a couple of the scenes have been scorched into Jim and John's brains, we still felt bad for making Shonda watch it. Lots of laughing as we discussed, of course.***Before you could see endless boobs on the internet, 80's sex comedies were the only way kids saw naked ladies - or learned about sex.

The crew revisits a John Hughes movie that was important to all three of us. Does it hold up? Well, Bender's sexual talk is NOT cute anymore.
