Improving Alpha: Innovation in Investing, ESG and TechnologyImproving Alpha: Scott Chan on ‘Gearing Up’ a Collaborative Model to Mitigate Risks and Generate ReturnsLast year, we were honored to have Chris Ailman as a guest on the Improving Alpha podcast.

Orthodox ConundrumReorganizing the Letters of Reality: A Mystical and Chassidic Approach to Prayer, with Rabbi Dovid'l Weinberg (221)One of the beautiful aspects of Torah Judaism is its insistence on eilu v’eilu divrei Elokim chayim - that two different and even potentially contradictory approaches can both represent the words of the living God. Opening our minds to differing ways of seeing Torah - that, in the words of many ancient texts, there are seventy facets to the Torah, and accordingly endless ways of explaining its ideas - is not merely a theological truth, but also a mandate. By accepting that, in the words of Rav Soloveitchik, “The white light of divinity is always refracted through reality’s ‘dome...

My old friend and great writer Scott Beggs is on hand to rattle off numerous reasons that The Matrix Reloaded might be considered overhated, despite being a massive hit.

OverhatedEpisode 100: Legend (1985)I had to break out a personal favorite for the 100th episode, and Ridley Scott's Legend certainly qualifies. As a kid I saw / liked it, and yearned for a chance to see the legendary" European cut," but I never actually expected to see that insanely cool Universal DVD release from a few years back.

OverhatedEpisode #66: Sorcerer (1977)After hitting Hollywood with two smash hits in The French Connection and The Exorcist, director William Friedkin could have chosen practically anything for his next movie. So he chose to remake a beloved international classic in the middle of the jungle. And then practically everything went wrong. For this underappreciated classic I'm joined by filmmaker Scott Derrickson (@scottderrickson), who you'll know from movies like Sinister, Dr. Strange, and The Black Phone. Suffice to say that Scott loves this movie deeply, and you'll hear why in this super-sized episode. Thanks for listening to Overhated! There are 100+ more episodes at p...

Debbie’s shell creations are unlike anything I've seen before. Her miniature works of art are utterly unique making them popular gift items.

OverhatedEpisode #38: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)Horror fans are a ridiculously loyal sort, but for the most part they don't love change. Back in 1982, producers John Carpenter and Debra Hill wanted to shake things up in their Halloween franchise. Instead of just bringing boogeyman Michael Myers back for a third slash-fest, the franchise would now be done anthology-style. As in: each new Halloween movie would be its very own thing. Like Tales from the Crypt did a few years later with Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood. But things didn't go precisely as planned. For this episode I'm joined by Scott Allen Perry (@sc...

'80s All OverApril 1985It’s a weird month, with a lot of little films you’ve never heard of up front. Teen-sex comedies and weird War Games ripoffs and swords and sandals and unfunny celebrity siblings abound. But we’ve also got a Louis Malle film, some genuinely sweet and fun teen comedies, a couple of crazy riffs on fairy tales, and adaptations of both Elmore Leonard and Stephen King. That’s a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get to it with April of 1985.
2019-04-2900 min'80s All OverMarch 1985March has become one of the coolest months of each season here on ‘80s All Over, and this one’s no exception. Want some crummy TV children’s animation on the bigscreen? We’ve got you covered. Want some terrible sequels to films that shouldn’t have sequels? Yep. Plenty of that. Weird tone-deaf kids films, exploitation films that make us squirm for the wrong reasons, misbegotten star vehicles? Check, check, and check. But we’ve also got a stone-cold teen classic, Eric Stoltz’s best work of the decade, one of the weirdest side trips in John Landis’s career, Madon...

He knows his James Bond (obviously—he co-hosts Earwolf's James Bonding podcast) and he knows his Jason Voorhees (he does the In Voorhees We Trust podcast, too). Scott calls him "a crown prince of podcasting," and he's not really exaggerating at all, what with co-founding SuperEgo, creating I Was There Too, producing Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, and appearing on some of the absolute funniest episodes of Comedy Bang Bang, Never Not Funny, Thrilling Adventure Hour, and more. But truly, his finest hour must be this one, where he shoots th...
2019-04-0800 min'80s All OverFebruary 1985An Oscar-winning actor directs a bunch of dancers with a dream, Richard Harris hits the road with someone else's kid, and it's time for classy Porky's! We meet Kiefer Sutherland for the first time, Matthew Modine tries to make weight, and Kurt Russell does the serial-killer two-step. All that plus Harrison Ford's best performance, a Jeff Goldblum cult oddity, and the greatest high school movie ever made? Don't you forget about February of 1985.
2019-04-0100 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #53 - Peter HyamsOn this very, very special Patreon bonus episode, Drew and Scott get to sit for a spell with writer/cinematographer/producer/director Peter Hyams, a man responsible for making some of the flat-out ballsiest moves that '80s Hollywood ever saw, not least of which was "I think I'm going to make the follow up to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey." The stories of that film's making are absolute must-hears, but so are the tales of his breaking into the industry, and the rules he had to break to stay there, the time Sean Connery tried yanking...
2019-03-2500 min'80s All OverJanuary 1985It's January, and it's a brand-new season of '80s All Over, so you know what that means? TOILET MONSTERS FOR EVERYONE! Okay, it also means it's time for the Coen Brothers to make their first appearance of the decade, but more importantly, TOILET MONSTERS FOR EVERYONE! Except people who actually watch the movie with the toilet monster on the cover, since there are no toilet monsters in it. Confused? You won't be after you dig into the beginning of the year with us on January of 1985.
2019-03-1800 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #52 - Kevin MurphyThree different pioneers get together for a special Patreon Bonus to discuss the weird wild west days of their youth: Drew & Scott discuss what it was like wandering the wilderness of UHF and VHS and taking that education and turning it into online film critic gold—while Kevin Murphy talks about wandering the wilderness of low-budget cable programming and turning that into culture-defining comedy with his work on Mystery Science Theater 3000. They talk about a bunch of '80s movies (and some not very good ones, too) while they're at it.
2019-03-1100 min'80s All OverThe Best of 1984We all know the icons—Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi, Peter, Ray, Winston, and Egon, Gizmo and Stripe, and Freddy Krueger—but 1984 was so much more than that. Before we move on, it's time to review the year's biggest winners at the box-office and at the Oscars, and for Scott and Drew to pick their ten favorite films from a very stacked year. Will you agree? Will you be infuriated? Will Scott remember that The Terminator was released this year? You'll find out all of that and more as we reach the halfway point with the Best of 1984.
2019-03-0400 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #51 - EG DailyEG Daily is known to millions upon millions of people as one of the voices of their childhood: Tommy Pickles from Rugrats, Buttercup in The Powerpuff Girls... but so far as Drew and Scott are concerned, the voices they know her from are from her appearance in '80s films like Streets of Fire, and Fandango, and Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains; let's not forget that one little independent art film called Pee Wee's Big Adventure, of course, and yes... she was in Wacko, too.
2019-02-2500 min'80s All OverDecember 1984Michael Keaton was quasi-deadly, Mel Gibson was both in prison and on the farm, and Boogaloo Shrimp was breakin’ again, thank god. Francis Ford Coppola went to Harlem so he could watch Gregory Hines fly, Peter Hyams proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had the biggest balls in Hollywood, and David Lynch went to deep space so he could confuse a generation. We’ve got rancid farce, frustrating star vehicles, and epic adventures. Plus, if you ask real nice, we just might teach you how to do the Neutron Dance. Let’s put a bow on it and...
2019-02-1800 min'80s All OverNovember 1984We re-elected Reagan, and that's not even the scariest thing that happened this month. Freddy Krueger may cast a long shadow over the entire decade, but it all started here. You'll believe a spin-off can suck, Santa's gonna let you know you've been naughty, and Chuck Norris manages to rip Stallone off... from the future! We've got killer pigs, fake broken legs, and Nancy Allen singing and dancing. All this plus two Larry Cohen movies? What did we do to deserve November 1984?
2019-02-0400 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #50 - Diane FranklinSome of these bonus episodes are delightful, some are surprises, and then there's Diane Franklin's episode, which is consistently one delightful surprise after the other. Scott and Drew dig into her filmography, and the stories she shares about the making of all-time classics like The Last American Virgin, Better Off Dead and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure are as charming as you'd expect... but it's the stories about Amadeus and Amityville that really go places.
2019-01-2800 min'80s All OverOctober 1984October is a weird month every year so far in the '80s, and this year's no exception. We've got Linda Blair and a crossbow, stolen diaries and horny housewives, slashers and horny teens and... one of the greatest documentaries of the decade? Okay, didn't see that coming. We're going to England, to Alaska, to Israel, and to Encino. Paul McCartney shits the bed, JoBeth Williams shows up twice, and we've got at least three stone cold classics. All that and BODY DOUBLE? Let me wallow. It's October 1984.
2019-01-2100 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #48 - April WolfeOne of the best things about the bonus episodes is the opportunities it allows both Scott and Drew to nerd out with some of their very favoritest people, and that very much includes Switchblade Sisters co-host, film critic, and Blumhouse's Black Christmas screenwriter April Wolfe, who shares some of her biggest influences, tells stories of how her horror fandom has changed her life, and digs into some of her most treasured '80s horror classics.
2019-01-1400 min'80s All OverSeptember 1984This month took a toll on Scott and Drew, and small wonder—Imamura lays the punishment on thick, while Mario Van Peebles just... plain lays it on thick. We've also got the best first 20 minutes to an exploitation film in a while, Karen Allen's smile, Lorenzo Lamas as Chilly, and horny Jeremy Irons... in French! Charlie Bronson kills some folks, as Charlie Bronson does, and Hollywood discovers farms! A Fast Times sequel that isn't! Kathleen Turner versus Anthony Perkins! Joe Morton's detachable eyeball! And Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, too? September 1984 is serious business!
2019-01-0700 min2018-12-3100 min'80s All OverThe '80s All Over Holiday SpecialFor Christmas, Drew and Scott chose to give themselves the gift of a couple weeks off from the podcast grind—but they didn't wanna just leave you hanging over the holiday break, and so: The '80s All Over Holiday Special, the sort of "We left a VHS tape at Gramma's house because she's got satellite and she'll record all our favorite shows for us if we circle the good stuff in the TV Guide for her" compilation that many '80s kids lived on!

2018-12-2400 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #46 - Rebecca SwanDrew McWeeny has been many things in his life. Laserdisc slinger, Popcorn schlepper, cub reporter, theatre director, hopeless romantic, internet raconteur... but when he came to Los Angeles, it was in answer to the siren song of screenwriting. And this very special bonus episode digs deep into a lot of that history courtesy of today's special guest, filmmaker Rebecca Swan, Drew's writing partner on the Masters of Horror episodes Pro-Life and Cigarette Burns. They talk at length about their favorite films, shared obsessions, the way each informed the other's sensibilities, and much more.
2018-12-1700 min'80s All OverAugust 1984The controversies just keep coming.
Maybe it was something in the air, but things were weird this month. Bo Derek made a movie so bad it broke Cannon’s distribution deal with MGM. A long-in-development property finally made it to the screen and no one noticed. John Cassavetes released his last major work, Sean Connery showed up wearing Cate Blanchett’s outfit from Thor: Ragnarok, and Jamie Lee Curtis lost a bet and had to play love scenes with C. Thomas Howell. You want Michael Landon making a Bible allegory about himself? Or naked Clint Eastwood slathered in b...
2018-12-1000 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #45 - It's Saturday Night LiveMaybe one of the single most influential and impactful forces on the world of film in the 1980s wasn't a director, or a writer, or the alumni of one film school or another. It was a sketch comedy show that didn't start until 11:30pm at night, and frankly wasn't very good a lot of the time. But when it was good? Oh, it was change the world good, and Drew and Scott dive into the legend of Saturday Night Live and the way it became a legitimate star-making machine that greatly benefitted the films of the 1980s.
2018-12-0300 min'80s All OverJuly 19841984 giveth, and 1984 taketh away. After a month as great as June of 1984, it almost seems inevitable we'd get a terrible Cheech & Chong movie, some weird-ass Judge Reinhold thing you've never heard of, and a fistful of movies that Scott and Drew disagree on pretty wholeheartedly.
We're ready to crap on your childhood favorite, so say goodbye to your favorite horse. It's July of 1984.
2018-11-2600 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #44 - Video Games, Movies, and the '80Here in 2018, movies and video games enjoy a very... well, maybe healthy isn't the correct word, but accepted and expected relationship. But in the 1980s, video games were still more or less brand new, and movies didn't quite know what to make of this burgeoning industry that would soon be in direct competition for the youth market's eyes and ears. Scott and Drew discuss the decade's first attempts at incorporating (or hijacking, really) the appeal of video games, what video games appealed to them, and why that relationship between the two artforms has never been all that stable.
2018-11-1900 min'80s All OverJune 1984This is it. This is the month many of you have been waiting for since the podcast began. We get it. It's a monolith. Gremlins. Ghostbusters. The Karate Kid. That's a huge month.
But it's so much more. It's so much deeper. This is a perfect example of why we do the show. Because, yes, you'll get Star Trek and Conan and Beat Street and Streets of Fire, but you'll also get weird thrillers with Roger Moore and Rutger Hauer and English boarding school dramas and imports from Sweden and Australia and Germany. One of the weirdest...
2018-11-1100 min'80s All OverMay 1984Neil Jordan and Stephen Rea get started, Judd Nelson smarms it up, and Peter Fonda can't settle on a terrible title for a terrible movie. Summer gets off to a strange start with a baseball myth, some spring break bullshit, and two of the most heated conversations about big cultural icons we've had so far. Pop and lock with us, won't you? It's May of 1984.
2018-10-2900 minTravolta/Cage#26: Rolling on Mandy, Smoking Silver Shamrock (with Scott Weinberg)Happy Halloween, ghouls and goblins! For our spook-tacular horror-themed episode of Happy Cast, we bring on 80s horror movie maverick Scott Weinberg (80s All Over) to take some evil, dark acid and wield overly-long chainsaws as we discuss the psychedelic Nic Cage slaughterfest Mandy! Also, we bow to the whims of our Patrons and talk about the one-off anthology horror film Halloween III - Season of the Witch, and chat a bit about which horror remakes/reboots work, and when they work, and why! Strap on one of three possible Halloween masks available for purchase, sing the Silver Shamrock theme...
2018-10-231h 44'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #42 - The Halloween SeasonYou're in Weinberg's world now, kids. Halloween means horror movies, and as you might have heard, Scott is somewhat of an aficionado of the fright flick. Drew isn't chopped liver when it comes to having chiller bonafides either, and their combined love for the Halloween season is something to behold, as they run down some of their favorite scary movies, the power of the genre as a whole, the (oft-undeserved) critical response it receives, and they even try to scare each other, a little... to varying effect.
2018-10-2300 min'80s All OverApril 1984You know what kids love? Comedies about poop and tax laws! You want horse talk? We've got horse talk! You want a bunch of horror legends standing around looking confused about why they're all together? Man, are you set. And sex crimes? Well, it is the '80s.
Timothy Hutton's in love with a caveman, Jamie Lee Curtis gets startlingly naked, and Jonathan Demme pays homage to Rosie the Riveter. All that, and the very last Friday the 13th movie anyone ever made? Holy crap! It must be April of 1984!
2018-10-1500 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #41 - Jason BaileyDrew is flying solo for this episode while Scott soaks up Fantastic Fest, but that doesn't mean he's without friends: Film critic Jason Bailey steps in to talk about his favorite and most formative '80s films, and the conversation is made all the better for the fact this is literally the first time, after years and years of talking and swapping stories online, that these two wordslingers are having a real life, real-time conversation about cinema, and they take that opportunity to do what they both do best. Go on some serious DEEP DIVES into their favorite films.
2018-10-0900 min'80s All OverMarch 1984We've had big shows before, but nothing like this one. You wouldn't think this would be such a crazy month, being smack dab in the middle of the spring, but you'd be wrong. Sure, there's a fistful of junk this week—including an uneven Vietnam war romance, dogs from Hell, and a barely-released adaptation of a novel every med student knows—but we also see the kickoff of one of the biggest franchises of the decade, a delightful coming-of-age film with three of the most promising young actors of the decade, and Tom Hanks romancing a mermaid.
Still...
2018-10-0100 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #40 - Charles de LauzirikaA highly educational, illuminating, and entertaining conversation with the director/producer known for making many of the best film documentaries of the last 20 years and an absolute legend to DVD and Blu-ray collectors everywhere: Charles de Lauzirika. That Blade Runner set you can't live without? That Alien Anthology? You have this man to thank, and he has some thoughts and opinions on how those things all came together (and what versions you should watch, in which order, too.) All that and some Blue Thunder too? Cue that 20th Century Fox fanfare...
2018-09-2500 min'80s All OverFebruary 1984When is a film about Stanley Kubrick not a film about Stanley Kubrick? When is a documentary about Phil Ochs not really a documentary about Phil Ochs? And when did the '80s really start?
Seems like 1984 is a good answer and the year's still just revving up at this point. We've got a terrible Louis Malle film, an Eric Stoltz film that even Eric Stoltz may have never heard of, and Tom Selleck as a gentleman thief. All that, and Footloosetoo? How are you not already listening to February of 1984?
2018-09-1700 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #39 - Jeff the Movie ManIt happened way too late, but it couldn't have happened to a better patron: The show finally makes good on its promise to dedicate an entire bonus episode to shooting the breeze with one of its most-constant listeners, Jeff the Movie Man, an unmissable and vital presence in the '80s All Over social media circle. So it's like getting to hang out with the guys on Twitter, except, you know - you can HEAR everyone in real time. And just like Twitter... there's no edit button.
2018-09-1100 min'80s All OverJanuary 1984John Cassavetes wants a Gloria of his own, Eddie Deezen gets evil with some mutant punks, and Jodie Foster is somehow romantically involved with Ed Asner. Good lord, 1984, this is how you start?
We’ve got a fistful of foreign-language classics like El Norte and Entre Nous, the obligatory teen sex comedies like Hot Dog… The Movie!, and the first film from the great Kathryn Bigelow. All that, plus a Woody Allen gem and a Steven Martin almost? It’s time to kick off the fifth season with January of 1984.
2018-09-0300 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #38 - Ken Reid, the TV Guidance CounselorYes, the main purview of '80s All Over is the films of the decade, some unjustly forgotten, some rightfully so (but we're going to remind you anyway!) - but a huge part of the '80s was its television, and who better to talk about the way the tube set the tone for that decade's cultural explosions than Ken Reid, the TV Guidance Counselor... who talks about movies a little too.
2018-08-2800 min'80s All OverThe Best of 1983We started the year grumbling and mumbling so it seems like progress to go out cheering for the undeniable highs that the year ended up offering in the end.
James L. Brooks. Philip Kaufman, Martin Scorsese... these are names you might expect to see on a list like this. But there are plenty of surprises in store as well. What movie surprises both of the guys with an almost side-by-side placement on their lists, considering they'd never seen it before this year? What filmmaker ends up on one of the lists twice? And how many times does...
2018-08-2000 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #37 - Mail Call vol. 4No matter how many times they try to empty it, the '80s All Over mailbag never actually hit inbox zero. Pretty sure it never even got close. Maybe it was due to all the kibitzing and old-school-breakdancing going on in this episode, but then again—what good is efficiency in answers if you're robbed of the high-quality kibitizing Drew and Scott are known for. (The dancing? Not so much). Topics include the goodies found in movie novelizations, the filmmaker who had the best filmmaking streak in the '80s (it's not Spielberg!), and what '90s film was th...

WE ARE INVINCIBLE!One last time around the track, though, with another Stephen King adaptation (this one helmed by the great John Carpenter), Mel Brooks doing Ernst Lubitsch cosplay, Meryl Streep taking some really unpleasant showers, and Mickey Mouse’s return to the bigscreen. We’ve got superstar misfires, one of the weirdest horror movies of the year, Ziggy Stardust, and a special look at one of the biggest music videos of all time.That’s not enough for you? Really?

2018-08-031h 20'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #36 - Nathan Rabin'80s All Over becomes a little more of a Happy Place thanks to this episode's special guest, A.V. Club legend, Dissolve hero, Weird Al biographer, and yes, coiner of the phrase "Manic Pixie Dream Girl," Nathan Rabin. Nathan, unsurprisingly, has a lot of very deeply held opinions about the cinema of the '80s, some surprising, some not as surprising; but the passion that made him one of the most-read (and most-celebrated) culture writers on the internet can't be stopped from shining like the frickin' sun.
2018-07-3100 min'80s All OverNovember 1983And just like that, we round the corner and can see the end of the year looming up suddenly. It's a crazy month of releases, too. There are not one but two nuclear nightmares, obscure teen wig-outs, a giant rat, America's favorite haunted house in 3-D, and a Smurfs movie with no damn Smurfs.
Chevy Chase in a comedy from the director of The Exorcist and The French Connection? Sure.
How about a movie about an out of work aerospace engineer, his schoolteacher wife, and the male stripper who comes between them from the director of...
2018-07-2300 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #35 - Strange Brew with James RocchiSure, Drew and Scott could probably do this movie by themselves, verbatim, due to how magical it is and how often they've both seen it, but that wouldn't make for a fun commentary, really. What would be fun would be getting former film critic, current educator of the youth, and—most importantly—Canadian person of renown and acclaim James Rocchi to join them for a truly ahead-of-its-time comedy that still worked within its time because drunken SCTV stars saying "hoser" a lot will never not be funny.
2018-07-1700 min'80s All OverOctober 1983Do you have the right stuff to make it through this month?
It's a fair question, because even though there are some highs, like, oh, one of the greatest movies of the entire decade and one of the best Stephen King adaptations and one of the great unsung horror movies of the decade, there are some lows.
And, man, do we mean lows.
But that's what we've gotten used to here at '80s All Over, and so we dove in without hesitation, and somehow lived to tell the story of October 1983.
2018-07-0900 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #34 - Carrie RickeyIt's not often one gets to talk to their heroes, and in this episode, Scott Weinberg gets to have a conversation with the film critic who helped him realize that's a thing he could be, too. Carrie Rickey joins Scott and Drew to discuss her history in Philadelphia media, her favorite movies, and her experiences surviving the '80s.
2018-07-0300 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #32 - This is an Alan Smithee PodcastOne of the most prolific directors in film history had a pretty busy 1980s, and Drew and Scott dive into his history and that filmography—ignoble (yet fascinating!)—as it may be, touching on his most mediocre-est of hits! Or misses. Mostly misses, really.
2018-06-1900 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #30 - The Best Musicals of the '80sThe decade began with The Blues Brothers getting released to theaters, and was swiftly followed up by Popeye coming ashore on the big screen; you've gotta know that with an opening that strong, the '80s were going to be a decade that delivered some amazing musicals, and Drew and Scott come together to discuss their very favorites, including some of the usual singing and dancing suspects, and some you might not expect to get their share of the spotlight!
2018-05-2200 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #29 - Twitter ReactionsScott flies solo on this bonus that is pulled entirely from his very active Twitter feed: He poses a question to the listeners, the listeners react, and then Scott reacts back. It's an extended act of react-ception, really. Not sure if that's the right word for it, though. It's not a word anyway, so it probably doesn't matter. Anyway, enjoy this half-hour of intimate alone time with Scott and his Twitter.
2018-05-0800 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #28 - Ready Player One with Zak PennWhile the main show is solely for qualitatively cherished entertainments of the '80s, this bonus episode not only allowed Scott and Drew a chance to dig into Steven Spielberg's brand-spankin-new adaptation of a book that could have only been written because of the '80s, Ready Player One, but those insights are fleshed out via an interview with that film's writer, Zak Penn, who talks at length about his own intense '80s experiences, and the films that inspired him to become a filmmaker.
2018-04-2400 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #26 - Barbara CramptonScott goes solo on this very special episode with the star of flat-out classics like Re-Animator and From Beyond, Barbara Crampton, who shares a lot of very interesting behind-the-scenes stories on getting those indelible roles, and what it's like to keep a career healthy through four decades of Hollywood changes.
2018-03-2700 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #25 - Paul ScheerOne-third of maybe the most popular movie podcast in podcast history (All 12 or so real years of it) sees fit to grace Scott and Drew with his presence. Granted, there's some technical difficulties with his mic, but look: If you can get Paul Scheer of How Did This Get Made and The Disaster Artist and The League and The Good Place on your podcast to talk about underrated, unsung, and plain weird faves from the '80s, you do it, and the boys absolutely dug into some stuff you're definitely going to wanna seek out once this show is...
2018-03-1300 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #24 - The Most Punchable Dicks of the '80sSome of cinema's most sneeringest, preeningest, smarmiest, most-punchable-in-the-biggus-dickusest villains came straight out of the '80s, and Drew and Scott came together to champion the actors who brought them to life, and to revel in just how lovably hatable these characters are.
2018-02-2700 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #22 - Time BanditsDrew and Scott come together with a bunch of notes, a head full of memories, and full hearts full of nothing but a whole lotta love for a very important movie to both of them, Terry Gilliam's twisted fairy tale Time Bandits. They get into how the film came together, how innovative its making was, the charms of its myriad stars, and how it still packs a powerful punch all this time later.
2018-01-3000 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #20 - Mail Call, Vol. 3There is no better intro for this episode than the one Scott himself freestyle-sang within the first 30 seconds of the bonus beginning. To quote: "It's Mail Bag! Number Three! And we're here to s-- (breath) uh-- DO SOME LETTERS!" Think of it as a tasty pre-Christmas morsel before 2018 kicks in, full force.

Not only are questions answered, but Scott gets the chance to play God... MOVIE GOD. Which classic gets smited? SOMETHING MUST BE SMITED! Listen and learn!
2017-11-2100 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #16 - Joe LynchIt was a foregone conclusion that '80s All Over would spend some time talking film with Joe Lynch: Not only is he one of Drew's friends, but he's also one of his favorite directors (Wrong Turn 2, Everly, Mayhem) and Mr. Lynch is also a podcaster, co-hosting the must-listen The Movie Crypt with Adam Green. And after launching into a... questionable Scott Weinberg impersonation, Lynch brings to the table a list of '80s movies he truly treasures on a personal level, and helps invent a guest format that will continue into future bonus episodes.
2017-11-0700 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #15 - Listener ReactionsEveryone loves a reaction video right? Well, maybe not everyone, but enough people for it to be a viable income stream on YouTube, because that's how we gauge success in the 21st Century. Well, this is kinda like that, except what's happening is that listeners are watching movies that have been covered on the show, and sending in their reactions, and then Drew and Scott react to those reactions! It's all part of the wonderful journey of (re-) discovery the show goes on every month.
2017-10-2400 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #14 - The Best Soundtracks of the '80sDrew and Scott spent a very long time preparing for this episode... and then with less than a few hours before the scheduled record, Drew had to go to the doctor for some sort of radical back-replacement procedure... or something like that. So in the face of such short notice and no real alternative, their producer makes his first and only on-mic appearance, where he and Scott draft their five favorite soundtracks of the decade — an endeavor that is a lot harder than it sounds, considering the '80s is basically when the movie soundtrack became an artform unto it...
2017-10-1000 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #12 - The John Carpenter Retrospective (or: The Secret Origins of '80s All Over)Listeners already know about the first two test episodes of '80s All Over, set in the last year of the '70s, but while you might think those two episodes are where the show began, that's not really the truth. This episode, recorded in 2010, inside a Toronto hotel room, after the premiere of John Carpenter's The Ward, is essentially this show's secret origin. Drew hit record on a career-spanning conversation he and Scott were going to have anyway, and the late night experiment not only succeeded, but it eventually led to the creation of their own show.
2017-09-1200 min'80s All OverThe Best Of 1981Wow! We've made it to the end of our second year of the ten-year project, and we're celebrating with another best of episode. While Scott and Drew ended up agreeing completely on their number one film, they surprise each other throughout with their choices, and the results highlight just what a diverse and strange year of movies 1981 was.
There's little doubt we'll be talking about Indiana Jones, but we'll also be talking about Albert Brooks, two werewolf movies, throwbacks to film noir and movie musicals, as well as commies and gamblers and time-traveling little people, oh my...
2017-08-2100 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #10 - Mail Call, vol. 1You got questions? '80s All Over has answers. The first in a series of episodes where the big ol' mailbag gets dumped over onto Scott and Drew's desks, and they try to answer what they can, as well as they can, before time is up. And the while the questions might not be all that out there, the places this episode winds up are... very interesting, to say the least.
2017-08-1500 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #9 - Steven E. DeSouzaThere have been storytellers as special guests on '80s All Over before, but there are storytellers and then there's writer/director Steven E. De Souza, who hits the ground running in this conversation with Drew and Scott, and literally never stops, starting from day -1 of his career and continuing through some jaw-dropping anecdotes starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joel Silver, Lawrence Gordon, Walter Hill, John McTiernan, and more. Pull up a seat and be regaled by true tales from a key architect of some of the '80s most influential action classics.
2017-07-3100 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #8 - '79 All Over (Test Episode 2)The elements of the show start to lock into place, albeit in forms still not quite ironed out all the way—and wouldn't be until around the fourth or fifth episode of the show proper. But you can already tell that '80s All Over was well on its way, despite the way overlong intro and the not-so-quality sound quality. It certainly helped that August of 1979 provided Scott and Drew with a ton of great topics to touch on, including Apocalypse Now, The Amityville Horror, and the comic majesty of one Biggus Dickus.
2017-07-0300 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #7 - Flash GordonThe last Patreon exclusive was recorded shortly after one of the show's biggest decisions was made: To call the show '80s All Over as opposed to the original title... "Klytus, I'm Bored." An amazingly delivered line, but maybe not the most appealing or informative name for the podcast. But the proper tribute was shortly paid, as Drew and Scott convened for this commentary focused fully one of their most favorite films of the entire decade.
2017-06-1900 min'80s All OverAugust 1981Not one, but two comedies about the homeless or the mentally ill this week, because in Reagan's America, who didn't find an unbalanced street person delightful? Scott and Drew try to figure out how films like CHU CHU AND THE PHILLY FLASH and HONKY TONK FREEWAY got made, they talk about the lack of charisma that is Chuck Norris, they discuss the weird and often upsetting sexual mores of early '80s comedies, and they debate the relative merits of STUDENT BODIES.
We've got early films from Australian icons John Duigan...
2017-06-1200 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #6 - '79 All Over (Test Episode 1)You can't just start a podcast fully-formed with your very first episode. Rather, I'm sure you can, it just won't stay that way very long, and it probably won't sound all that great. Usually you gotta put some training wheels on the bike and take a couple laps around the block before you show off to your friends. Before the "official" launch, Scott and Drew had to figure out their rhythm and get used to transforming their conversations into a show, and that meant practicing on the month of December, 1979, with films including Spielberg's infamous 1941, Peter Sellers' award-winning performance...
2017-06-0500 min'80s All OverPatreon Bonus #5 - PopeyeOf all the films Drew and Scott have championed on the show, none are as thoroughly beloved as this: Robert Altman's bizarre, unique, touching, and authentic adaptation of the classic comic strip, giving star Robin Williams one of his earliest opportunities to show he was more than just Mork; and casting Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl - which is still the single most perfect piece of comic movie casting in film history.
