40's on the 80'sTribute to Val Kilmer - 40's On The 80'sVal Edward Kilmer was an artist, first and foremost. While most of us know him from his films, he started out as a stage actor who later found fame on the silver screen. Ironically, some of his most memorable characters cast him in the supporting role such as 'Iceman' in Top Gun and 'Doc Holiday' in Tombstone. His films covered a wide variety of genres including comedies, dramas, action adventures, westerns, historical films, crime dramas, science fiction films, and fantasy films. Looking back at my own past, I can absolutely see my fashion sense and sense of hu...2025-04-0752 min
40's on the 80'sElements of a Christmas Movie - 40's On The 80'sKeep the change, ya filthy animals! Well, here's another episode for those of you that are keeping score. It officially marks the end of our first season. We've been working on building our inventory for season 2 and before too long, you'll begin go to see those coming down the pipe. So, even though Christmas is well past... here are some golden nuggets of our monkey-brained opinions on what it takes to actually have a movie be considered a 'Christmas Film.' We hope you'll enjoy and hope to hear from you..... anyone..... Buehler? Buehler? 2025-02-1519 min
40's on the 80'sDie Hard (Deep Dive Part 2) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewYippee Ki Yay! It's a new year and your boys are still here. We're wrapping up Season 1 and will soon be ready to begin releasing Season 2. We enjoy our rides down memory lane and would love to know what you guys think. Seriously.... any and all comments are welcome. This episode picks up where we left off with Die Hard (Deep Dive Part 1) and with a movie like this.... there is a never-ending supply of things we can say. But we did our best to wrap it all up here. 2025-01-1755 min
40's on the 80'sDie Hard (Deep Dive Part 1) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewEven though the film, Die Hard, is one of my all time favorites.... recording this deep dive turned into a true labor of love! Between scheduling, researching, tech issues, re-records..... last year I felt almost 'over-dosed' on John McClain and Hans Gruber. This year, I've kept the viewing to a bare minimum and I am saving it for my traditional Christmas Eve presentation. "It isn't Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi towers!" 2024-12-201h 41
40's on the 80'sLethal Weapon (Deep Dive Part 2) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewPersonally, I have alot of fun doing the deep dives. It reminds me so much of one of my favorite shows of all time, MST3K. "It's like watching a favorite movie with some of your funniest friends." So if you are into details and picking apart one of the great action/buddy-cop films of all time... then here's your golden ticket to grab your dead-beat uncle Joe and visit us at our factory of film analysis. 2024-12-131h 01
40's on the 80'sLethal Weapon (Deep Dive Part 1) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewMerry X-Mas.... Yo Yo Yo! In the City of Angels, anything can happen. And when the yule-tide, action bug kicks in, one of the greatest titles you will find is the classic cop-buddy film, Lethal Weapon. We really spent a lot of time digging into this one and keep in mind.... we ended up having to chop this one into two parts or risk damaging the brains of you toxic avengers with the netflix level attention spans. So grab your berretta, roll across the floor and fire up some Christmas spirit! 2024-12-0651 min
40's on the 80'sCobra (Revisited) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewWhat can we say? We LOVE this film, so we put it through the paces of our re-vamped analysis system and took another look at Cobra. THIS time, we invited our Millenial brother to lead the discussion and asked him to quiz us on the insanity that is contained within this film. And just out of curiosity, would anyone like to see this movie re-made? But this time, taking place in Seattle, where the Axe Gang was born from a group of disgruntled lumberjacks.... masters of all things that can cut! With their axes the ONLY weapon th...2024-12-021h 13
40's on the 80'sPee Wee's Big Adventure - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewWhy don't you take a picture, it'll last longer! Well, we've pulled Pee Wee out of the dark and into the sunlight and for anyone who has never experienced the 'man-child' creation of Paul Reubens.... I honestly don't know how to prepare you for this Big Adventure. But I will say that if you listen to this podcast, you WILL be better equipped to enjoy this creation of Tim Burton in his early days. This is one of Ricky's all time favorite films and you can hear the joy in his voice. We hope you...2024-11-221h 21
40's on the 80'sCommando (Revisited) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewLike Commander Ace of Megaforce fame once said, "It's on the wheel.... it all comes around!" And the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic action film 'Commando' is just ONE example of something being too good to not have more than one conversation about. So if you joined us for our first official podcast episode, we would love to hear from you what you think about the differences between that discussion on Commando and this one. 2024-11-141h 03
40's on the 80'sFilm Sequels - 40's On The 80'sIt's frequently said that sequels don't live up to the original in the series. And since we are ONLY in the business of cliche's.... we're happy to jump neck deep into the pool of things we don't like. Some characters are welcome to come back knocking on our doors, but others..... their first visit was great but they when they keep coming back.... and the visits get more and more uncomfortable.... it becomes evident that their reason for existing is purely to try and squeeze every penny out of a great idea. Join us for so...2024-11-0747 min
40's on the 80'sHalloween - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewKnock, Knock... Who's there? The Boogeyman.... Boogeyman, who? Boogeyman is gonna get you!!! With a gentle dose of violence, great use of musical score and the highest tech in cameras at the time, we LOVE this holiday classic by the great John Carpenter! One of his stipulations was that his name should appear with the film title in the credits. Rob and Rick help guide Johann along the leaf filled streets of Haddonfield (California) where pumpkins were in short supply and the physics of palm trees dropping leav...2024-10-311h 31
40's on the 80'sFright Night - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewBack in 1985, we learned that being a nosey neighbor can be bad for your health.... and the health of your friends, your car and several nameless ladies of the night! Charlie Brewster, who is soooo cool, is distracted from his pursuit of cancelling his virginity by the suave Jerry Dandritch who moves in next door and enjoys being a bit of an exhibitionist for his teenage voyeur. Dan the Man isn't joining us on this venture so the use of the Queen's English will be put on hold in favor of us American cousins who can drive tr...2024-10-241h 12
40's on the 80's80's Horror - 40's On The 80's Genre ReviewFor the month of October, when so many of us enjoy venturing into the 'darker corner' of the video store (and no.... not the corner that was blocked off by glass beads in the door way), it seemed proper to highlight horror films of this great decade. Danny leads this discussion of blood, gore and video-tape from the era we consider to be the center of OUR universe. From ground breaking special effects to the cultural commentary left over from the Viet Nam war and the suspicions cultivated into society after having been lied to by so-called...2024-10-171h 05
40's on the 80'sHouse On Haunted Hill (1959) Watch Party - 40's On The 80'sYeah.... so it wasn't filmed in the 80's. BUT.... we found a way to connect it to the 80's! Tune in and see how we did it. This special episode was a journey suggested by our man, Rick, and I was happy to go along with the ride. Anyone who ever spent any time watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 would love to get some friends together to watch this one. And if no one is available.... join Rick and myself! So cue up the scream track, get ready for lots of sarcastic remarks and jump right into...2024-10-101h 31
40's on the 80'sThe Burbs - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewLeaving on vacation has it's risks, the same as any kind of travel. So it would make sense that having a 'Stay-Cation' where you putter around the house would be safer. WRONG! Especially if you live on a cul-de-sac where one of your neighbors turns out to be a legitimate family of crazies. So what do you do when confronted with odd behavior? Zero curb appeal? Bringing down property values? Well... if you are Ray Peterson (played by Tom Hanks), you join forces with other neighbors and begin an investigation. It's a serious thing to share a p...2024-10-0349 min
40's on the 80'sTin Foil Hat Episode - 40's On The 80's Discuss JFK, CIA and The ScorpionsEvery now and then... one of our Monkey Holes strays so far off path that we can't include it as an episode about something we love from the 80's. But when it's too good to just drop on the cutting room floor... it CAN become an episode all it's own. So keep an eye out your window after you listen to this episode... keep an eye out for strange looking vans parked in your neighborhood with non-descript people in sunglasses just chilling. 'They' may be on to us! Grab your tin foil hat and join in our c...2024-09-2619 min
40's on the 80'sThe Running Man - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewProphecy in Science Fiction and Film..... how many things have we seen in film that eventually came to be? I'm still waiting to be able to do a hover conversion on my car... and whereas many of the cool things we've seen in Sci-Fi films would be great, I feel that some of the less glamorous things of Sci-Fi seem to be turning to reality. Films like 'Idiocracy' and today's gem, 'The Running Man,' seem to be closer to reality than any version of Star Trek or Star Wars I've seen. In this film, based off a...2024-09-191h 15
40's on the 80'sAction Jackson - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewIf you never have.... then we encourage you to endure a little session with Action Jackson! Now, young people, if I tell you about Action Jackson, do you promise not to go befoulin' your comfy chair? By now you may be asking yourself.... "Who's Axin....." And that's when I come over the top and correct you.... it's ACTION! And then regale you with his pedigree. "Some say he didn't even have a mother, that some researchers from NASA created him in a test tube, to be teh first man to walk on the moon without a space...2024-09-121h 04
40's on the 80'sBeetlejuice (Original) - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewCandyman.... Candyman.....Candyman...... uggh...... who has the time to say the name 5 times?? For REAL emergencies, you need help sooner rather than later. When you have reached the end of your rope and absolutely, positively need to rid yourself of the thorn in your side... there's only one choice. BEETLEJUICE! This 1988 Tim Burton classic stars the immensely talented Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the otherworldly spectres who enter into a business deal without fully understanding the gravity (or lack thereof) of their situation. Life after death can have it's challenges and what happens when yo...2024-09-051h 11
40's on the 80'sRoadhouse - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewAs Dalton would say, "Opinion's vary," but I think you won't catch any of us being 'Not Nice' when it comes to one of our favorite movies about bouncers! Heck.... is it the ONLY movie about bouncers? Hmmm... worth researching. Follow along as we look into real estate in Jasper, Missouri where the rich dude in town controls his businesses by destroying them, employs ex-convicts and the residents don't mind getting naked near water in the Missouri summer! Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott are the 'coolers' that EVERYONE has heard of. Maybe a pre-quel to Roadhouse would hav...2024-08-291h 05
40's on the 80'sAlien & Aliens - 40's On The 80's Film ReviewWhat came first? The facehugger or the egg? We started off with the idea of only looking at Aliens (since it came out in the 80s) but the first film, Alien, was just too good a film and too important to this series to go un-mentioned. So we rolled them together into a single review. Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) would be a great set all by themselves. Never mind the almost 'Weyland-Utani' like push by the film studies to make as much money off this franchise as possible. There are tons of common-sense roadblocks that our fearless crew just lovingly...2024-08-221h 32
40's on the 80's40's on the 80's - Review of the film "Predator""Well, long-tall Sally, she's built for speed, she got EVERYTHING that Uncle John need!" Better not call Chris Hansen on THIS predator..... and even though there is something strange in this neighborhood (jungle), something strange and it don't look good.... I wouldn't recommend calling the Ghostbusters either! Only one team, with one goal.... and one man.... can defeat the thermal vision. HEY!!!!! That's right, Arnold Schwarzenegger goes 'Mano e Monster' in this 1987 John McTiernan classic and leads a (mostly) all-star cast of camoflaged machismo. How many times hav Mac and Dennis watched this film? Does...2024-08-151h 19
40's on the 80's40's on the 80's - Review of the film "First Blood""A very SPECIAL episode" Several 'firsts' happening on this recording! It's the first time hearing our future anchor/cast member, Rick Baldwin (check out his blogs on our page). It's also the first airing of the format we hit upon where we began breaking films down into their 3-act structure. After several recordings we felt that we firing blind, into the jungle at night.... the act structure helped us to stay a bit more organized. This particular episode touches on subjects which are very real and sometimes 'sensitive' to veterans. Parts felt more like a th...2024-08-081h 59
40's on the 80's40's on the 80's - Review of the film "American Werewolf in London"Once again joined by Rob.... we explore the English country side with a splash of horror which directly led to Michael Jackson's iconic music video for 'Thriller.' Direced by John Landis, this film showed us what it might really look like to transform into a werewolf while having zombie ghosts torment you periodically. This was prosthetic-practical effects taking center stage despite some amazing performances from all the actors. Dan is KEEN to educate us on all things English and explain to us 'Mericans what is legit and what isn't.2024-08-011h 01
40's on the 80's40's on the 80's - Review of the film "Cobra"After Rambo waged war against the cops in the pacific northwest but before getting "punchy" throwing fists with Drago..... he was a cop in LA's Zombie Squad where he regularly abused his authority, barbecued newspapers and rationed his pizza slices with a large pair of scissors that may have been pulled straight off Johnny Depps hands. Join me, Dan and Rob for one of the most under-rated Christmas movies of all time! 2024-08-0151 min
40's on the 80's40's on the 80's - Review of the film "Commando"One of our all time favorite films which laid the groundwork for much of the over-the-top action of the 80's. Join us as we test the waters of our first ever podcast as we love and hate on this magically violent amusement park ride that we would gladly stand in line for over and over again. 2024-08-0149 min
40's on the 80's40's on the 80's - Welcome to Our Podcast!Before we get started sharing our actual episodes... figured it would be down right neighborly (or Britishly proper) for us to introduce ourselves and give you a little taste... you know.... to see what it tastes like!

The SaaS CFOEx-Google Engineer Raises $9M to Tame Snowflake WorkloadsI spoke with Mingsheng Hong, co-founder and CEO of Bluesky. Bluesky, a Menlo Park, CA-based formally launched its first product that provides unprecedented visibility into Snowflake workload usage and costs.
He couldn’t start coding his idea due to IP concerns when he was employed. However, soon after launching the idea, he raised funding and started to code the product.
Bluesky announced that it raised $8.8 million in seed funding led by Greylock, with participation from angels Ashish Thusoo (co-founder of Qubole), Jeff Hammerbacher (co-founder of Cloudera), and Johannes Gehrke (Microsoft Redmond research director).
