80s Flick Flashback#151 - "Ernest Saves Christmas" (1988) with Laramy Wells & Robby RetroWhenever Christmas time comes around, and you see lists of the best holiday movies — and even the most underrated ones — you’ll almost certainly never find this 80s flick on any of them. It really hasn’t managed to embed itself in Christmas pop culture like some other films have, to be sure. And that is a real shame, because while this movie isn’t high-class theater, it’s considered a favorite Yuletide watch for kids of the 80s and 90s.So meet us at the Orlando Children’s Museum with Santa’s magic sack as Tim Williams and guest...

Inspired by Pygmalion, the tale from Ovid’s Metamorphoses poem which tells the story of a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved, it’s admittedly the kind of storyline that was only plausible in the 1980s.

In 1981, Raimi and star Bruce Campbell created The Evil Dead, offering their humorous and irreverent take on horror, featuring Ash—a clumsy fool—being terrorized by ghouls in a cabin surrounded by woods. The film's success led to this 80s flick, which serves as a pseudo-sequel and remake, blending the grotesque style of the first film with slapstick comedy that echoes Raimi’s fondness for The Three Stooges.Join us at the cre...

Now owned by Hasbro, it has inspired many spin-offs, including a TV show, themed editions like the “Simpsons” version, and a VCR game.

2024-05-2901 min80s Flick Flashback#107 - "Christine" (1983) with Laramy Wells (from "Moving Panels" Podcast)Stephen King taught us some important lessons while ascending to his rightful place as America’s most prolific author of horror and supernatural fiction. For instance: don’t dump pig’s blood on Carrie, never stay at The Shining’s Overlook Hotel, and for goodness sake, tread lightly when dealing with a 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine.
King takes the classic tale of boy-meets-girl to frightening heights when a geeky teenager named Arnie falls for a red Plymouth Fury with a sketchy past. Christine falls hard for Arnie, too, which would be roses and balloon drops if it weren’t for...

Frank Galvin is a washed-up ambulance-chasing attorney battling his demons in Boston. When he takes on a seemingly straightforward medical malpractice case involving a comatose woman, Galvin discovers a labyrinth of corruption and deceit within the legal system. With the odds stacked against him and his own personal struggles looming large, Galvin embarks on a quest for redemption, determined to uncover the truth and deliver justice. As the trial unfolds, tensions rise, alliances are tested, and the line between right and wrong becomes increasingly blurred. Although it might h...

Romero and written by the legendary Stephen King.

2023-01-061h 0880s Flick Flashback#72 - "Santa Claus: The Movie" (1985) with Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" PodcastIt seems strange at first that the producers of the Superman movies would move on to an epic about Santa Claus. But in a way it makes sense. Both Superman and Santa are legendary superheroes, able to cure our pains through magical intervention. Both of them can fly through the air. Both have large supporting casts: Superman has Lois Lane, Jimmy Olson and Perry White, while Santa has Mrs. Claus, the elves and, of course, Dasher, Donner and Blitzen.

Unlike the following sequels which were war adventure films set in foreign countries, this was a post-Vietnam War psychological thriller set in the United States that lacks the gore and violence that would later become a trademark of the series. So journey back with us to the small town of Hope, Washington as Tim Williams and guest co-host Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" Podcast discuss “First Blood” from 1982 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Podcast!

Fortunately, four wisecracking misfits were just a phone call away, ready to take down these paranormal pests with their proton packs and ghost traps, but behind the scenes, it took much more than a simple phone call to bring the poltergeist-ridden picture to life.

This awkwardly titled 80’s flick is a bosom-buddy movie about a friendship that was destined to be -- like surf and turf, M&Ms, Laverne and Shirley, Lucy and Ethel, maybe even Cagney and Lacey. As most buddy movie rules require, it is a tale of enduring friendship between disparate souls, formed against the odds. There are ups and downs. Jealously and redemption.

2021-09-031h 2880s Flick Flashback#36 - "Young Guns" (1988) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastThe western, which used to be as common in Hollywood as superhero movies are now, enjoyed a surprising revival in popularity in the late 1980s into the 90s. The genre, of course, fizzled out again and faded from memory. Film financiers didn’t see a profit in it and audiences lost their appetite for it. However, for a good 6 years westerns were cool again. They won Oscars, starred some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and inspired Bon Jovi to sing about riding on steel horses and being shot down in a blaze of glory.

No, I’m not talking about the “The Justice League” fiasco from a few years ago. We are going all the way back to the early 1980s for this one! So hold on tight as Laramy We...

While some are moved by its fantastical and heartfelt story of personal redemption, others dismiss it as over sentimental and even silly. Or as Richard Corliss of TIME Magazine once infamously put it, a "male weepie at its wussiest,". Either way you look at it, the Oscar-nominated movie still tugs at the heartstrings and makes us rekindle our love for America’s Pastime.

As it should. Famous for its practical effects and then-unprecedented amount of gore, this low-budget 1981 horror flick—about a group of friends who travel to a cabin in the woods and unleash killer demons—showed the world the power of guerilla-style indie filmmaking before it was cool. Often imitated, but never duplicated it still stands as a must see film for any horror movie fan. So grab your keys to the cabin, keep the cellar door locked and, whatever you do, don’t lis...
2021-04-161h 0880s Flick Flashback#27 - "Steel Magnolias" (1989) with Bethany WellsSince its release over three decades ago, this 80’s flick has been hailed as a celebration of women. In his original review of the film, Roger Ebert raved about the dialogue and camaraderie of the dynamic ensemble cast. “There may be no movie that better epitomizes the bond of female friendship,” HuffPost declared in 2014. “Mothers share the film with their daughters, teen girls turn to it as a sleepover staple, and men of all ages find themselves taken with the tale of six brassy Southern ladies.” So grab a slice of armadillo-shaped red velvet cake and take a seat in one of Truvy...
2021-04-021h 1880s Flick Flashback#26 - "The Breakfast Club" (1985) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastPraised as a quintessential piece of '80s cinema and highly regarded among the greatest high school movies of all time, the legacy of this 80’s flick had endured due to the film's eclectic cast of teenage archetypes. Writer-director John Hughes' characters weren't just derivative personalities found in the everyday, run-of-the-mill teen comedy of the day, the characters were actually rooted in genuine human problems. Working with a $1 million budget, the reflective character study was an endearing portrait of adolescence, simplistic in its approach but emotionally rich in its contrasting, multi-dimensional views of each personality. For all its cliches, the film...
2021-03-1956 min80s Flick Flashback#23 - "9 to 5" (1980) with Laramy & Bethany WellsRenown film critic, Roger Ebert called this well-beloved 80’s flick a good-hearted, simple-minded comedy that will win a place in film history. He suspected that it was primarily because it contained the movie debut of Dolly Parton. He stated “There have been other debuts this unmistakable; you could name Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and even John Travolta. And what you'd be talking about in each case would not necessarily be a great dramatic performance in an important movie, but more about a quality of presence, a personal life force that seems to take over the screen.”

It’s a masterclass on every level: building entertaining characters, crafting escalating action, establishing and navigating geography, and putting an empathetic hero through the ringer in the face of extraordinary odds.

It’s a classic double-act farce that might not fit that well in the decade it came out in. There are no guns or bad guys like 48 Hours or Lethal Weapon; no winks at Cold War anxiety a la Spies Like Us; and no time machine like Bill and Ted used in their excellent adventure.
