80s Flick Flashback#104 - "Jaws 3-D" (1983) with Ben Carpenter & Tyra WilliamsThe first "Jaws" movie, directed by a young up-and-comer named Steven Spielberg, is a masterpiece; an incredibly tense, well-made, and well-acted film that created the summer blockbuster as we know it and changed the movie business forever. The first sequel, Jaws 2, can’t reach the heights of the original but it was a respectable enough follow-up. Then there’s this 80s flick! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, again! Set at Florida’s Sea World, the plot centers on a group of courageous individuals who must band together to confront a colossa...2024-03-291h 00

80s Flick Flashback#96 - "Trading Places" (1983) with Tyra WilliamsThis 80’s flick is more than just a vehicle for laughs; it's a biting satire that skewers societal norms and exposes the fault lines of privilege and inequality. Its significance lies in using humor as a Trojan horse for razor-sharp commentary, causing audiences to laugh and reflect on the absurdity of the disparities between the haves and the have-nots. As we revisit this holiday cult classic, we will celebrate not only the impeccable comedic timing of its top-notch cast but also the film's ability to tackle weighty social issues with a lighthearted touch. Whether it's the memorable scenes in the co...2023-12-1149 min

80s Flick Flashback#89 - "Dead Poets Society" (1989) with Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" Podcast & Nicholas Pepin from"Pop Culture Roulette" PodcastThis 80’s flick explores the complex terrain of friendships, aspirations, and the struggle to find one's own identity outside of the classroom. The story takes place at an all-boys preparatory school in the 1950s, where tradition and conformity are the norm. Mr. Keating's unconventional teaching methods ignite a profound transformation in the lives of his students. By instilling a love for poetry, encouraging critical thinking, and inspiring them to seize the day, Keating inspires a revolt against the suffocating conventions of society. As we journey back to Welton Academy's revered halls, we'll discover a tale that still resonates with au...2023-09-011h 30

So strap on your proton packs, call Jan...2023-08-041h 09

80s Flick Flashback#86 - "Lethal Weapon 2" (1989) with Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" PodcastIn 1987, Lethal Weapon took everyone by surprise when it hit theaters. It was like a bomb went off and re-ignited the buddy cop genre with a bang! The perfect mix of an established director, two lead actors with undeniable chemistry, and an up-and-coming screenwriter’s knack for snappy odd-couple banter created a formula that was ripe for a follow-up. So when Warner Bros decided to make a sequel, they went all out. They pumped up the budget, added more comedic moments, and dialed down the dark and gloomy tones of the original. The result is an 80s flick sequel th...2023-07-211h 21

80s Flick Flashback#85 - "Rambo: First Blood Part II" (1985) with Gerry D from "Totally Rad Christmas" PodcastIn the realm of iconic action movies, few characters have achieved the legendary status of John Rambo. The name itself evokes images of a relentless warrior, a solitary figure pushed to his limits, and an embodiment of pure adrenaline-fueled heroism. At the heart of his enduring legacy lies this 80s Flick sequel that propelled the franchise to new heights. While the first film introduced audiences to the tormented veteran struggling to readjust to civilian life, the sequel thrusts Rambo back into the heat of battle as a one-man army risking his life to rescue forgotten prisoners of war from...2023-07-071h 21

80s Flick Flashback#83 - "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (1984) with Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette"Released just three years after the iconic "Raiders of the Lost Ark," this action-packed prequel takes us back to the 1930s, where we find our intrepid archaeologist, Indiana Jones in a web of peril when he becomes entangled with a ruthless cult hell-bent on capturing the mystical Sankara Stones and enslaving an entire village. Joined by reluctant lounge singer Willie Scott and the wise-cracking Short Round, Dr. Jones battles his way through treacherous jungles, dark catacombs, and a heart-stopping mine cart chase that had audiences gripping the edge of their seats! So, grab your fedora, dust off...2023-06-091h 19

80s Flick Flashback#82 - "Platoon" (1986) with JB Huffman from "Manly Movies" PodcastSince its release this 80’s flick is still considered by many to be one of the best war movies ever made. The director — who himself was wounded twice while serving with the US Army in Vietnam — famously put his cast through a grueling "boot camp” to help immerse them in the world of their fictional characters. With an all-star cast and loads of visually striking practical effects, this Vietnam War epic won more awards than any other film during the 59th Academy Awards. So prepare for digging foxholes, waking up with ant bites and surviving ambush duty as Tim Williams...2023-05-261h 20

80s Flick Flashback#81 - "Brewster's Millions" (1985) with Nicholas Pepin (from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast) and Chad SheppardBased on a 1902 novel of the same name, this 80’s flick brought together two of the 80’s greatest funnymen and an established director who wasn’t prone to making comedies. Despite primarily negative reviews, it still did well at the box office and was a mainstay on cable television over the years, making it beloved by those who were watching basic cable channels in the late 80s and early 90s. So break out the calculators, get ready to spend some cash, and watch out for the oncoming train in the back of the baseball field as Tim Williams and guest co...2023-05-121h 21

80s Flick Flashback#80 - "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" (1984) with Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" Podcast and Charlie CotterThis 80’s Flick has one of the most inaccurate titles ever which is easy to forgive when the movie also happens to be considered by fans of the franchise as one of the best in the series. So get ready to revisit Crystal Lake as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Laramy Wells and Charlie Cotter discuss “Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter” from 1984 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Podcast!

80s Flick Flashback#79 - "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982) with Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" PodcastThe 80s is often seen as the defining era of “the teen movie”. While “The Breakfast Club” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” might have garnered all of the attention, it was this 80s flick that took the “teen movie” from raunchy sex-comedy to more serious themes of losing innocence, living with regret, and navigating independence at such a young age. Released to little fanfare, with many expecting it to fail, the film became a surprise hit, showing the value of the teenage market. So grab your red bikini or your checkered Vans as Tim Williams and guest co-host Nicholas Pepin from "Pop...2023-04-141h 44

80s Flick Flashback#75 - "An Officer and A Gentleman" (1982) with Ron WestFamed movie critic Roger Ebert said that this 80’s flick was the best movie about love that he’d seen in a long time. His original reviews states “Maybe that's because it's not about ‘love’ as a Hollywood concept, but about love as growth, as learning to accept other people for who and what they are. There's romance in this movie…but what makes the film so special is that the (romance) and everything else is presented within the context of its characters finding out who they are, what they stand for and what they will not stand for.” Get ready to b...2023-02-031h 06

80s Flick Flashback#74 - "Runaway Train" (1985) with J.B. Huffman from "Manly Movies" PodcastIf you’re a fan of eighties action movies, you should know The Cannon Group. Run by Israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, in the eighties they cranked out a slew of low-budget action movies, most of which were hated by critics. Yet, every once in awhile they made a legitimately great movie that would even make the critics sit up and take notice. One such as this 80’s flick directed by Andrei Konchalovsky (who later made "Tango & Cash") and based on a script by Akira Kurosawa who was a legendary filmmaker in his own right. So get yours...2023-01-201h 08

80s Flick Flashback#73 - "Howard the Duck" (1986) with Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" PodcastCountless world upon worlds. Worlds without end. In these galaxies every possible reality exits. And what is reality in any new world is mere fantasy in all others. Here, all is real and all is illusion. What is, what was and what will be start with this once maligned 80’s flick. So travel with us to Cleve-land as we jam out to Cherry Bomb’s greatest hits. But be on the look out for the DARK OVERLORD as Tim Williams and guest co-host Laramy Wells from "Moving Panels" Podcast discuss “Howard the Duck” from 1986 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Po...2023-01-061h 08

80s 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. This 80’s Flick brought us the origin story we never knew we wanted and children of the 80’s (and early 90’s for...2022-12-231h 13

80s Flick Flashback#71 - "Scrooged" (1988) with Gerry D. ("Totally Rad Christmas" Podcast) & Nicholas Pepin ("Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast)Since the publication of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol nearly 200 years ago, the story of Ebenezer Scrooge has become familiar fodder for adaptations of all sorts—from ballets to operas to a mime performance by Marcel Marceau. But this 80’s flick adaptation has one thing that sets it apart from the rest: Comedy. So prepare to be transported by a time-traveling taxi-cab, a violent but joyful angel ballerina, and a mute harborer of souls as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts, Gerry D. from "Totally Rad Christmas" Podcast and Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast discuss “Scrooged” from 1988 on this episod...2022-12-091h 28

80s Flick Flashback#70 - "Annie" (1982) with Hanna WilliamsLittle Orphan Annie has been a part of American pop culture for nearly a century now—first as a comic strip which made its debut in the summer of 1924, then as a popular radio show in the 1930s, which spun off into a couple of film productions later in that decade and a hit Broadway musical in 1977. Though the musical version has been adapted to the big-screen a few times over the years, most recently in 2014, this 80’s flick version is by far the best known big-screen version. So leave the orphanage behind, jump aboard the auto-copter, and start warm...2022-11-2548 min

Rival gangs compete for control of the city’s billion dollar empire of illegal alcohol, enforcing their will with the hand grenade and the tommy gun. It is the time of the Ganglords. It is the time of Al Capone. And now its time for Tim Williams and guest co-host Nicholas Pepin, from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast to discuss “The Untouchables” from 1987 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Podcast!

80s Flick FlashbackThe "Weird" Bonus Episode - "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" (2022) with Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" PodcastWe don't normally sway away from our regular 80's Flicks only podcast formula, but when "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" premiered on the Roku Channel this past weekend, we had to cover this 80's icon and the hilarious film that parodies biopic movies from the king of pop music parodies. Tim Williams and guest co-host Nicholas Pepin, from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast (who is a long-time "Weird Al" fan) give their SPOILER-FILLED reactions to the movie and share memories of their first exposure to the genius that is "Weird Al" Yankovic.

80s Flick Flashback#68 - "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" (1988) with Charlie CotterAs of October 2022, there have been 11 films that continue or reimagine the story of the character known as “The Shape” that was first laid out in John Carpenter’s Halloween released in 1978. At this point in its history, the Halloween franchise has been rebooted once (by Rob Zombie in 2007) and retconned twice (by Halloween H20 in 1998 and then by Halloween in 2018), creating no less than four different continuities. After the release of “Halloween III: Season of the Witch” in 1982 became a box office and fanbase disappointment, this 80’s Flick was the first to bring back the horror icon that is Michael Myers. So...2022-10-281h 07

80s Flick FlashbackBONUS - "House" (1986) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels Podcast"After working together on the first three "Friday the 13th" movies, Steve Miner and producer Sean S. Cunningham re-teamed for something a little more kooky. From a story by Fred Dekker and a screenplay by Ethan Wiley, this forgotten 80’s flick is a full-tilt comedic-horror movie that throws in more demons, ghosts and ghouls than you can handle. So take down the "For Sale" sign, stay out of the pool, and whatever you do, don’t open the closet at midnight as Tim Williams and guest co-host.Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels Podcast", discuss “House” from 1986 on this special Forg...2022-10-2155 min

80s Flick Flashback#67 - "An American Werewolf in London" (1981) with Gerry D. from "Totally Rad Christmas" PodcastIn terms of werewolf horror, 1981 is still the year to beat. Theatrically, the year saw the release of Wolfen, The Howling, and this 80’s flick which set the bar high for lycanthropic transformation sequences. The last to arrive on the big screen, it demonstrated how to approach a horror-comedy, emphasizing both the laughs and the scares in equal measure. More importantly, the stunning special makeup effects design and creation earned Rick Baker the first-ever Academy Award for Best Makeup. So grab your backpacks, grab a drink from the Slaughtered Lamb pub, and watch out for a full moon as Tim Will...2022-10-141h 08

80s Flick FlashbackBONUS - "The Best of Times" (1986) with J.B. Huffman from "Manly Movies" PodcastDo you ever find yourself reminiscing about the past and remembering something you would love to go back and change, a mistake that haunts you on a regular basis. Well that is what this 80’s flick is all about, a man who for 13 years has regretted dropping the ball in a High School Football game and holds himself responsible for the town he lives in being in the doldrums ever since. So fire up the green rocket, put on your white cleats, and get ready to bring the town of Taft out of the bowels of lethargy as Tim Wi...2022-10-071h 02

80s Flick Flashback#66 - "Wildcats" (1986) with Ron WestMolly McGrath is the adult daughter of a famed football coach who is desperate to be the head coach of her own team. When her wish is finally granted, Molly leaves her job coaching girls' track at an affluent high school to take over a football team at an inner-city Chicago high school —the kind of place where guard dogs are needed to patrol the campus. At first the new coach's idealism and optimism are suffocated with racial and gender prejudice, but eventually her overriding spirit begins to whip her unruly team into shape in this formulaic 80’s football flick. So gra...2022-09-301h 07

80s Flick Flashback#65 - "Above the Law" (1988) with Comedian Danny Johnson from the "Behind the Bar" PodcastIn the late 80’s the American action movie was reaching its zenith. The genre had produced several bona fide superstars and was bringing big money to the box office. Action movies were the perfect vehicle for unknown talent to prove themselves. An actor that audiences had never seen before could be the lead if he had the right moves, hair, and one-liners. This 80’s flick, that introduced us to the pre-ponytailed Steven Seagal, surely fit the bill. So prepare for all of the 80’s action movie clichés: flashbacks to Vietnam; a tough, renegade cop; political subterfuge; a revenge plot; i...2022-09-1653 min

80s Flick FlashbackBONUS - "Turk 182" (1985) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastTaking aim squarely at the popular theme of the working man’s struggle against the in- equities in the system, this forgotten 80’s flicks tells the story of a mystery rebel in New York City whose popularity reaches almost mythic proportions before the internet, social media, and hashtags became the norm for spreading a protest message.

80s Flick Flashback#64 - "First Blood" (1982) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastBased loosely on David Morrell's 1972 novel of the same name, this 80’s flick was the first of a decades long franchise. 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! 2022-09-021h 12

80s Flick FlashbackBONUS - "Back to the Beach" (1987) with Chad SheppardFor those who were not born before 1962, the beach party movies were a series of chaste comedies in which clean-cut teen idols hung out on the beach, rode the big waves, necked a little and tried to defend their lifestyle against the old fogies who were always trying to ban rock 'n' roll. The financially successful teen movies were a tie between harmless and brainless. This 80’s Flick was a musical satire poking fun at those idols and the whole genre, but did it with a lot of good humor and with the full cooperation of the victims. So gr...2022-08-261h 08

80s Flick Flashback#63 - "Rain Man" (1988) with JB Huffman from "Manly Movies" PodcastNo one was overly surprised when this 80’s flick dominated the 1989 Academy Award ceremony. It featured one of America's biggest movie stars showing a little gravitas as a self-absorbed hustler who learns the importance of family. It had an Oscar mainstay going deep into affliction, playing a character with a disorder that not many everyday moviegoers knew much about at the time. And at the helm, a respected director whose films had been gaining in prestige and popularity throughout the decade. So grab some cheese balls and apple juice before you crank up the classic Buick Roadmaster convertible as Tim...2022-08-191h 02

80s Flick Flashback#62 - "Big" (1988) with Chris McMichenUndeniably, the best of the mini-cycle of body-swap comedies from late eighties, this is the flick that revealed that Tom Hanks was capable of much more than just one-dimensional idiotic comedic roles. His transformation into the floppy walk and wide-eyed enthusiasm of a 13 year old boy is a masterclass in physical acting. It also proved that Penny Marshall was a bonafide blockbuster movie director and not just the tough-talking and boy-crazy Laverne De Fazio on TV's “Laverne & Shirley”. So grab some quarters for the Zoltar machine and make a wish as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Chris McMichen, discuss “Big” f...2022-08-051h 06

80s Flick Flashback#61 - "The Lost Boys" (1987) with Tyra WilliamsWhat's more traumatizing for a teenage boy than having to pack up his life and move to a new town with his brother and newly divorced mom? Nothing, other than the local gang initiation. Which, in Santa Carla, may just involve dropping from a train overpass, racing motorcycles near the cliff, and drinking blood instead of wine. Though we’ve been engulfed in some, dare I say toothless vampire entertainment in the last few decades, this 80’s flick was one of the earliest movies to update the centuries-old story of fanged immortals lusting for blood in the night for the high...2022-07-2256 min

80s Flick Flashback#60 - "One Crazy Summer" (1986) with Nicholas Pepin from the "Pop Culture Roulette" PodcastThis 80’s flick is sometimes described as “Better Off Dead Goes To The Beach” because it reunites young leading man John Cusack with writer-director Savage Steve Holland for a tale of teenage angst and the quest to find love. This time the quest takes us to Nantucket where our lead gets involved with cute and fuzzy bunnies, snobby preppies, insane mechanics, a killer dolphin with rabies, and a hippie-ish singer about to lose her house to a very rich lobster restaurant magnate. So don’t miss the ferry and don’t forget to pay your tab for Granny’s dinner as Ti...2022-07-081h 05

80s Flick Flashback#57 - "Bull Durham" (1988) with Ron WestLike “Major League”, “The Natural” or even “Field of Dreams”, this 80’s flick is one of those sports movies that always seems to be on one of the many basic cable TV channels every Spring and Summer. It doesn’t matter whether it’s two in the afternoon or two in the morning, somewhere in the outer reaches of cable TV, the main characters can be found bickering about baseball and who’s taking who to bed.

80s Flick Flashback#55 - "School Daze" (1988) with Tyra WilliamsBefore "A Different World" came into its own. Before "Higher Learning" and "Dear White People" critiqued the fraught relationship between Black students and white students at predominantly white institutions. And before "grown-ish", there was this 80’s flick.

80s Flick Flashback#54 - "Fletch" (1985) with Gerry D. of "Totally Rad Christmas Podcast"In the mid-80s, Hollywood funnyman Chevy Chase was at the height of his fame. After a successful stint on TV’s Saturday Night Live, he’d proven himself a big box office draw in such movies as "Caddyshack" and "National Lampoon's Vacation". In 1985, Chase tried his hand at something a tiny bit more serious with this 80’s Flick - a comedy thriller which cast him in the title role as an investigative journalist with a knack for sniffing out a big story and the quick wits to bluff his way to the truth. While the movie fully capitalized on Chase’s...2022-04-151h 14

You have found die-hard fans of this 80’s flick which made “the Muscles from Brussels” a bonafide movie star and also brought in the biggest box office haul for its distributor Cannon Films that year. Yes, that's THE Cannon Films, which is notorious for making some of the biggest-budget B-Movies of the decade.

80s Flick Flashback#50 - "Three Amigos" (1986) with Danny JohnsonIn the midst of a Western revival — which included big hits like "Silverado" and "Pale Rider" — came this 80’s flick, a loving parody of the genre and a send-up of Hollywood. It has become a landmark in comedy collaboration, starring three comedy legends under the direction of a bonafide hit movie director with a script co-written by the mastermind of Saturday Night Live. So grab your sombrero and saddle up your horses for a trip to Santa Poco as Tim Williams and special guest co-host, stand-up comedian Danny Johnson, to discuss “Three Amigos” from 1986 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashb...2022-02-181h 01

80s Flick Flashback#49 - "When Harry Met Sally..." (1989) with Bethany Wells“Baby Fishmouth.” “I’ll have what she’s having”. The Wagon Wheel Coffee Table.

In the 30 plus years since this 80’s flick was released, nearly every scene has become iconic and the stuff of rom-com legend. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, cuddle up with the one you love and join Tim Williams and guest co-host, Bethany Wells, as they discuss “When Harry Met Sally” from 1989 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback.

80s Flick Flashback#48 - "Better Off Dead" (1985) with Nicholas Pepin of "Pop Culture Roulette Podcast"While some critics failed it from the outset, this 80’s flick is actually a notch more upscale than most of its fellow D-grade locker-room comedies of the era. It's gained a "cult" reputation for its overall cynical tone, its clever gags, and its zany blend of animation and live-action. A teen comedy that refused to take itself too seriously, even if the subject matter should have been. So unwrap those frozen dinners you got for Christmas, load up your snow skis in the station wagon, and for God’s sake, pay that paperboy his two dollars as Tim Williams and gue...2022-01-211h 25

80s Flick Flashback#47 - "The Thing" (1982) with Ron WestJohn Carpenter directed a slew of classic films including "Escape From New York", "They Live", "Halloween", and "Big Trouble In Little China". One of his most celebrated works is this 80’s flick. Upon release, the bleak horror movie was panned by critics as boring and over-indulgent with its violence. The masses barely bothered heading to the movie theaters to see it. In the years since, however, it has found an audience who recognize its excellence. The atmosphere, special effects and performances are all top notch. So grab your box of flares, a bottle of J&B Rare Blend Scotch, and don’...2022-01-071h 08

80s Flick Flashback#46 - "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989) with Bethany WellsThis 80’s flick was meant to be just another chapter in the misadventures of Clark W. Griswold and his family. It has become one of the most surprisingly popular and oft-quoted holiday movies of all time. So dig up your oversized Christmas tree, fill up your Wally World glass mugs with eggnog, and make sure your RV’s "you know what"-er isn’t full as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Bethany Wells, discuss “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback podcast!

80s Flick Flashback#45 - “Lethal Weapon” (1987) with Nicholas Pepin of “Pop Culture Roulette Podcast”There has been a debate raging on the internet for years as to whether or not “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. If “Die Hard” is, in fact, a Christmas movie – which I believe it is – then this 80’s Flick deserves the same holiday movie label. A significant scene in the first act takes place at a Christmas tree farm, the soundtrack is packed with holiday carol classics, and the film ends with turkey dinner on Christmas day. With all that considered, break out the eggnog carton without a bullet hole, trim the tree you bought at the tree farm during a...2021-12-101h 16

If you were one of those kids then join Tim Williams, his daughter Hanna Williams, and his friend Chad Sheppard, as they discuss “An American Tail” from 1986 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback!

80s Flick Flashback#43 - "Ghostbusters" (1984) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastWhen this 80’s flick first hit the big screen, movie-goers were jump-scared by a ghostly librarian roaming the quiet aisles of a public library, a multi-story marshmallow man towering over the streets of New York, and slime, lots and lots of slime. 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. So take a ride in Ecto-1, power up your proton packs, and w...2021-11-171h 17

80s Flick Flashback#42 - "A Nightmare On Elm Street" (1984) with Ron WestHorror movies have been around since the late 1800s, yet not all of them are remembered as fondly as others. In 1984, horror master Wes Craven introduced moviegoers to not only one of the most iconic horror movies of the decade, but one of the most iconic figures in horror’s history.

80s Flick Flashback#41 - "Friday the 13th Part 2" (1981) with Charlie CotterHorror sequels are tricky business. As critic Tasha Robinson notes in an essay for The Dissolve, “Horror sequels are the exact opposite of horror. Horror is about exploiting the fear of the unknown, but sequels are about capitalizing on the familiar.” So horror sequels must find the balance between delivering more of the same to audiences but also something unknown. How well does this 80’s horror flick sequel meet the criteria? Let’s find out as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Charlie Cotter, return to Crystal Lake to discuss “Friday the 13th Part 2” from 1981 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashb...2021-10-151h 08

80s Flick Flashback#39 - "All The Right Moves" (1983) with Ron WestBefore “Friday Night Lights” there was this often forgotten 80’s flick. It’s not so much a film about the sport of high school football, but the effect of football on its characters. It features solid performances from its young actors, and became an important film in the career of its lead by showcasing the tremendous star power and acting skills of a man who would become a mega-movie-star. So grab your football pads, your cleats, and expect heavy rain to hit football field as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Ron “Rifleman” West, discuss “All the Right Moves” from 1983 on this episode...2021-09-171h 09

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. And, thanks to Bette Midler, some show-stopping musical numbers. So grab a box of tissues, because I’m sure tears will be shed, as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Bethany Well...2021-09-031h 28

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. It all st...2021-08-061h 02

80s Flick Flashback#35 - "Top Gun" (1986) with Ron WestWhen hit movie producer, Jerry Bruckheimer was casually flipping through California magazine in 1983, he was suddenly struck by an image. It was a picture of fighter pilot’s helmet with a plane reflected in the visor. Staring at the page, Bruckheimer couldn’t escape one thought: “It looked like Star Wars on Earth.” That magazine picture - and its accompanying article - set into motion the creation of this iconic 80’s Flick. A script would be crafted around the story of fighter pilots - their internal rivalry with one another, heroism when called on by their country and a deeply ingrained...2021-07-231h 21

Walking around with your Sony walkman or boom box with your best cassette mixed tape with all the new pop hits you recorded off of the radio.

80s Flick Flashback#31 - "Field of Dreams" (1989) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastIf you have seen this heart-warming 80’s baseball fantasy flick, you likely have a strong opinion on it. 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. So grab your bat, ball, and glove and then head to a perfectly good Iowa cornfield as Tim Williams and gues...2021-05-281h 02

80s Flick Flashback#30 - "Sleepaway Camp" (1983) with Charlie CotterFor about 95% of its runtime, this 80’s slasher flick operates as an oddly bloodless, weirdly sexless, and overall kind of annoying ripoff of "Friday the 13th". Writer and director Robert Hiltzik mines little tension from his story of a youth summer camp besieged by a killer dumping boiling water on pervy camp cooks and stabbing counselors in the shower, "Psycho"-style. It's all very rote and by-the-bloody-books until the film's final minutes, when a last-second twist and some wonky special effects combine into one of the most disturbing images in horror movie history. So grab an extra flashlight and watch ou...2021-05-1457 min

It has been called one of the classic movies about the teenage experience, as relevant to today’s Snapchatting pre-adults as it was to those coming of age in the Pac Man Mania era. This enduring popularity is thanks to its simple story – teenage boy fakes a sickness to embark on a day of antics and adventure around Chicago. The energetic cast and quotable dialogue nails the in-between psychology of adolescents. No longer children and not yet adults, the titu...2021-04-3057 min

80s Flick Flashback#28 - "The Evil Dead" (1981) with Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" PodcastFrom Peter Jackson to Edgar Wright, this 80’s flick has influenced many of today’s biggest Hollywood directors. 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 08

80s 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 18

80s 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 min

Fans would leave the theaters with three long years to wait for the next installment of the franchise, which was plenty of time to ponder whether or not that Darth Vader twist was the truth or a lie, and wonder if Han Solo would ever be freed from his carbo...2021-03-0550 min

80s Flick Flashback#24 - "The Princess Bride" (1987) with Ron WestIt has been called the “Wizard of Oz” of our generation. Meaning that although it was not a blockbuster film at the time of its release, over the years it has become a rare family film that has been enjoyed by children, their parents, and even their grandparents as it has been “handed down”, in a sense, from generation to generation. It has also been known as one of the most quoted films of all time. You may think that’s “inconceivable”, but… get used to disappointment.

80s 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.” In the tr...2021-02-051h 04

80s Flick Flashback#22 - "The Karate Kid Part II" (1986) with Ron WestIn the eighties, the high-concept movie was in vogue. Thanks largely to 70’s blockbusters Jaws and Star Wars, the eighties saw the repackaging of formula for audiences wanting to rekindle the thrills. If the roller coaster ride ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The amount of sequels that appeared in the 1980s was unheard of before. Many, unfortunately, were poor imitations, and few did better box office than the original film. Yet some were surprisingly good, especially when talented – even visionary – filmmakers were behind the camera. Somewhere between true stinkers (like Caddyshack 2) and improvements of the original (like The Empire...2021-01-2253 min

One '80s movie that has certainly stood the test of time and continues to wax on in cinematic glory is The Karate Kid, which-- more than 30 years later-- is still adored by audiences of all ages. Not only did The Karate Kid provide an arsenal of catchphrases that seem to appropriately fit into almost any situation, it also, more importantly, inspired generations to stand up against bullies.

Since the film’s release, it’s become regarded as a Christmas classic, and the original house shown in the movie has even been transformed into a tourist-attracting museum. Many families watch it every year around the holiday season, while cable-TV staple, TBS, plays it continuously for 24 hours at least once a year.

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.

80s Flick Flashback#16 - “Halloween II” (1981) with Ron WestMost long-running horror franchises have that one installment which was legitimately supposed to, but ultimately, did not end the franchise. Some have several of them. In Hollywood, producers (and sometimes audiences) will quickly voice their disgust if you ever dare leave money on the table. Not that anyone knew that in 1981. Instead, all Moustapha Akkad, Irwin Yablans, John Carpenter and Debra Hill wanted to do was to make a little more money off of the slasher gold rush they’d inadvertently started in 1978, and then bow out. Doing so, though, meant making some controversial story decisions with rotating directors an...2020-10-301h 09

80s Flick Flashback#13 - “RoboCop” (1987) with Ron WestIn 1987, a new kind of gritty, ultra-violent sci-fi action movie was born, but it came with nods to comic book heroes, and classic spaghetti westerns. Helmed by a little known Dutch director with a penchant for violence and nudity and starring a method actor better known for his work in the theater than in film, on paper it must have seemed like a pretty risky prospect to the studio bosses over at Orion Pictures. It proved to be anything but, with Paul Verhoeven's provocative directorial style meshing with a clever script by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, "RoboCop" fused...2020-09-1852 min

And “A League of Their Own” and “The Natural” captured baseball, but baseball of the past. In 1989 only one film was able to capture major league baseball in modern times.

It was a bonafide box office hit when released due to its star-studded macho cast, while solidifying Arnold Schwarzenegger’s rising star power status. Alongside Schwarzenegger, the film cast Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, and Shane Black as a group of commando mercenaries on a rescue mission in Central America who unknowingly encounter an alien creature bigger, badder, and more powerful than they are.

80s Flick Flashback#7 - “Summer School” (1987) with Laramy WellsThe 1980's in Hollywood was filled with more high school movies about slackers and smart-alecks than anyone actually needed, especially when it came to featuring students who looked like they were older than the teachers. Summer School was always perhaps the most underrated of the decade’s tributes to academic slackers because what it lacked in the typical star power of, say, a John Hughes film, it more than made up for in creating arguably one of the most creative collection of “teenage” misfits than any film of the genre.
