40'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 camouflaged machismo. How many times have Mac and Dennis watched this film? Does it come close to the amount of times we've watched it? We'll take that trivia challenge any day of the week and we hope that you'll give us a listen.  Decide for yourselves if we are actually fans or just low-rate pod casters who only watched this film for the first time yesterday and today recorded a podcast. 
So.... this is getting better by the minute, charge up your mini-guns and grab some chewing tobacco as we venture into some of the baddest bush on the planet! (Much like 1970's adult film actors). 

40s On The 80s 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 therapy session than simply a fun discussion about a great film. For that reason, this is a longer episode which we hope you will ride along to its destination. 
We would love to hear from YOU!  Let us know if there are any favorite films from the 80s you would like to hear us analyze.

40's On The 80's Review of the Film "American Werewolf in London"

Dan and I don't claim to be experts on horror so we enlisted the aid of my brother again. Rob and our future co-host, Rick, are both walking encyclopedias of horror films so we are lucky to have them on our team!  American Werewolf is an amazing film that blends scares and laughs and we hope you'll find something interesting in our discussion on this classic.

40s On The 80s Review of the Film "Cobra"

This was a fun episode which includes my younger brother who had NEVER seen this film. He was actually born AFTER the film was released so watching it with him was a really fun experience and helped me to view it with fresh eyes. The next time you watch it, ask yourself this question, "Is it a Christmas movie?"  

40's On The 80's Review of the Film "Commando"

This was our very first attempt at recording and editing and the movie we picked was because it very well may be our FAVORITE action film of the 80's. We hope you'll enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed discussing it!

40’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!  Keep a look out for our premier this coming week with our first three episodes coming out on the first. Good luck to us and a big welcome aboard to YOU!
