Sinopsis
Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

Episode 112: The Running Man (1987)
06/09/2019 Duración: 01h23minAll Doug wanted was a futuristic game show where people throw ducks at balloons and nothing is as it seems. Instead, we discuss a film with wall-to-wall accents, and a performance by Arnold that makes his work in Commando appear Oscar-worthy. Jamie's a bit punchy, sleepy and angry...because she had to watch The Running Man. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Merch on TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gtgmcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 110: Cherry 2000 (1987) with Stephanie Crawford
09/08/2019 Duración: 01h41minOn our latest episode, Doug clumsily refuses to introduce the guest, Jamie can't tell the difference between sunscreen and calamine lotion, and special guest Stephanie Crawford posits that sex robots might weigh upwards of 5,000 lbs. Oh, and they all hate the lead in this movie!

Episode 109: Explorers (1985)
26/07/2019 Duración: 01h06minIn this episode, Jamie and Doug are giddy to watch a very young River Phoenix act like a middle aged scientist and follow around an adorable baby Ethan Hawke. Sadly, interesting subplots involving Dick Miller and Meshach Taylor go un'explored' and the movie devolves into nonsense during the last third. Also, Amanda Peterson's just hanging around with nothing to do. Most of this is a good film...most of it. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Merch on TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gtgmcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 108: Party Camp (1987)
12/07/2019 Duración: 01h01minWe've tried really hard to avoid discussing movies that would have been relegated to USA Up All Night's lineup of sleazy trash, but we're doing a camp movie every summer so it looks like we couldn't make it past year five! This is incompetently made garbage by a director with a fascinating career. Find the film on YouTube if you dare but better yet, just listen to the discussion.https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Merch on TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gtgmcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 107: Gung Ho (1986)
28/06/2019 Duración: 01h18minSometimes we review movies that feel progressive for the time period and we get lulled into a sense that the 1980s were a time of acceptance and equality. But there are other times that we come across movies that bring the racist reality of the time flooding back. I'll give you one guess as to what kind of movie this is...https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Merch on TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gtgmcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 106: Link (1986)
14/06/2019 Duración: 01h22minIn the latest episode, Doug reveals that while he still doesn't enjoy apes in film, he feels much more comfortable when they're wearing clothes, and Jamie becomes frustrated (as all should) with Link's refusal to respect personal space boundaries. A movie with many questions, relatively no answers and a baffling score.

Episode 105: The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988)
31/05/2019 Duración: 01h25minGrab a giant can of Aqua Net, slather some cheap eyeliner on your face, squeeze into your assless chaps and join Doug and Jamie as they venture deep into the Southern California hair metal scene of the late 1980s.

Episode 104: Blue Velvet (1986)
17/05/2019 Duración: 01h43minJamie and Doug dig deep on the latest episode as they try and figure out what exactly is going on in Lumberton, what Frank Booth is sucking down in that gas tank, when this movie takes place, why Laura Dern looks the way she does when she cries, how many mechanical birds actually populate this town, why half the dialogue is beer-centric, and why Frank thinks that disguise would fool anyone. It's our first David Lynch film folks so strap in for this wild ride that is Blue Velvet! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Merch on TeePublic: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gtgmcastFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 103: Code of Silence (1985)
03/05/2019 Duración: 01h17minOn this action-packed episode, Jamie’s in a different timezone and comes off as sleepy and Doug is forced to watch a Chuck Norris movie and comes off as aggravated. The two try and get to the bottom of Chuck’s appeal and wade through lazy action sequences and uninspired dialogue to get there. But don’t worry, Dennis Farina shows up occasionally to inject a bit of life into this film and our hosts do enough bad Chicago accents and Mark Ruffalo impressions to get you through this one!https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 102: The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981)
19/04/2019 Duración: 01h29minDoug is slightly concerned when he sees the interview the The Incredible Shrinking Woman's husband on the 'Sparkle Lady Talk Show'. He has some very bad things to say about the Institution for the Unexplained and that's where Jamie was just sent a few months earlier. Doug was sure to put plenty of air holes in the cardboard box and even a larger hole so she could extend her arm if blood needed to be drawn. But still, something seemed odd about that institution... https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies

Episode 101: Cat People (1982)
05/04/2019 Duración: 01h40minJamie and Doug are brought in to shut down the New Orleans Zoo due to the abhorrent conditions in the 'big cat/primate' section. As they are loading the animals into trucks to haul away to zoos across the country that treat their animals at least a bit better, they're puzzled when they hear the zookeeper screaming that they're 'taking his girlfriend away'. And while that's odd, it's even more strange that all of the employees referred to this cat as a Leopard when it's clearly a Panther. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GTGMcast And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodtimesgreatmoviespodcast Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goodtimesgreatmovies
