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?
On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie waxes poetic about the smell of mimeograph ink, Doug is obsessed about how a grown pilot could possibly be engaged to a 17-year-old, and we both have absolutely no idea if that's a real dead body at the end.
