Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello
Good Times Great Movies
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?

Tony from Hack the Movies drops by to preach the gospel of Road House! Doug and Jamie may not be completely convinced though.
