Welcome to another tubular episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell cut footloose with the 1984 musical drama that made everyone want to dance.
Let’s revisit the 1984 sci-fi comedy Ice Pirates and appreciate its genuine comedic tone rather than pure parody. That’s right. We’re going to take this movie seriously… a little.
On this holiday episode of the Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast, Krissy and Nathan rewatch the 1988 Christmas comedy Scrooged starring Bill Murray. While they expected big laughs from this irreverent take on A Christmas Carol directed by Richard Donner, neither found it as funny or charming as remembered.
It’s the podcast where a filmmaker and a comedian enthusiastically haunt of the 80s movies we think we love or might have missed. This is Good Will Hunting, a movie selection from 1989.
