Darren and Matt's 80s Adventure

"I have a head for business and a body for sin. Is there anything wrong with that?" 

This week the boys visit New York in 1988 to spend some time with Tess McGill as she works her way up the corporate ladder and finds love along the way in the form of charismatic Jack Trainer. 

This was a new film for both of them so how does it fare and how much did the filmmakers use the main theme by Carly Simon? 

So why not grab some dim sum from a restaurant on Mott Street and enjoy the show.

“I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.” 

This week the boys venture to Antarctica to spend some time with The Thing.  In 1982 John Carpenter changed what people would come to expect as a movie monster and the bar for special effects was raised so how does this hold up 41 years later? 

Grab a cold one and join the boys as they take a look at… The Thing!

"Yeah, well...time's a trip, man." 

Happy New Year!  This week the boys travel to New Years Eve 1982 to experience a wacky and bizarre film in the form of Get Crazy.  Released in 1983 this is a film that they had never heard of and by the looks of it not a lot of other people have either.  What could be a better way to start 2023 than grabbing a drink and seeing what the boys have to say about this one.

“Well, that's the story. So if your air conditioner goes on the fritz or your washing machine blows up or your video recorder conks out; before you call the repairman, turn on all the lights, check all the closets and cupboards, look under all the beds, 'cause you never can tell… there just might be a gremlin in your house.” 

Merry Christmas!  This week the boys are taking a Christmas trip to Kingston Falls to spend some time with the Gremlins.  Why not join them as they look at this classic film from 1984 and see how it holds up today.
