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?

Simmons is exactly, Doug pitches a killer forest ranger movie, and the two wonder why they ever watched You Can't Do That On Television.

Episode 154: Lace - Part 2 (1984) 23.04.2021

In the latest episode, Doug imagines Lace as a Choose Your Own Adventure book...and of course he's killed by a space vampire, Jamie assumes that had HGTV been around in 1984, Maxine would have her own scene, and how did it take 3+ hours for us to talk about the MTV series, Teen Mom? It's taken us 4 hours of watching and another 4 hours of talking but we've finally reached the end of our journey se...

Episode 154: Lace - Part 1 (1984) 16.04.2021

In the latest episode, Jamie tries to do a French accent worse than Phoebe Cates and totally fails. Doug is amazed at one point that Angela Lansbury's still telling this story and we both are exhausted after jet setting around the globe and through time watching a porn star potentially sllep with her step brother and father. This is a wild ride as we dig into the first half of the television mini...

Episode 153: The Neverending Story (1984) 02.04.2021

In the latest episode, Jamie wonders just how sad this horse must have been to sink in that mud, Doug is convinced that the Child Princess sounds like Zelda Rubinstein and we both wonder why anyone thought it would be a good idea to put such prominent nipples on the statues in this kids movie! Jamie's in her glory in this fantasy world and Doug's walking on eggshells trying no to make her mad as w...

Episode 152: The Money Pit (1986) 20.03.2021

In the latest episode, Doug reveals the popular 90s tv comedy/drama that is most popular with extra terrestrials, Jamiewonders why Shelly Long hasn't called in a while and the two title the upcoming Tom Hanks Money Pit specific biography. Don't forget that we have a Patreon and if you're willing to cut us a check for $5,000, we'll be sure to maybe at some point do some work. Join us for this discu...

Episode 151: The Last Dragon (1985) 05.03.2021

In the latest episode, Jamie wonders just how often break dancing sessions broke out in movie theater isles in the 80s, Doug's musical taste is once again in question as he enjoys the villian's songs/videos, and the two marvel at the lack of chemistry between this film's leads. Grab a bucket of popcorn and some chopsticks while joining us for a discussion of the madness that is, The Last Dragon! C...

Episode 150: Swamp Thing (1982) 19.02.2021

In the latest episode, Doug realizes late into the recording that Adrienne Barbeau and Bridget Bardot are two very different people. Jamie contemplates the incestuous relationship between Ray Wise and his sister, and we are both baffled by just how much change cable has on her. Come along with us as we don't have to try all that hard to bring more energy than both the Swamp Thing and Jude as we fi...

Episode 149: Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986) 05.02.2021

In the latest episode, Jamie corrects Doug when he refers to 14-year-old girls as women and we both agree to simply refer to the dad from 7th Heaven as a child predator for the duration of the episode. Doug also begins listing his likes and dislikes for his upcomming Playboy/Girl spread and Jamie thinks John Lovitz did Subway commercials. And after recording the episode, she submitted the proof. C...

Episode 148: Popeye (1980) 22.01.2021

In the latest episode, we both go deep into Popeye's 'deformities', Doug wonders how many people in this town he's wronged in the past, Jamie consides just how many STDs Popeye may be carrying, and all Doug wants to see is the Sea Hag. Come along to the shanty town prison built on Malta that hosts random boxing matches and listen as we discuss the baffeling Altman film, Popeye! Consider supporting...

Episode 147: Ishtar (1987) 08.01.2021

We finally tackle one of the worst movies ever made as we take a supporter-request and talk about the Hoffman/Beatty vehicle, Ishatar. In this episode, neither host has any idea what's happening in the move but also admit to not knowing anything about late 80s international conflicts between nations. Doug's surprised that even Charles Grodin couldn't even save this film, Jamie draws parallels to Y...

Episode 146: Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) 25.12.2020

Merry Christmas eveyone! In this episode, Jamie wants to get to the bottom of why exactly Mr. and Mrs. Claus can't conceve, Doug comes off as an idiot by not knowing that Santa is basically the same as Saint and also comes off as kind of a weird monster when he basically condones the kidnapping of homeless children. Come along as we try so hard to navigate our way through a movie that tells the hi...

Episode 145: Yentl (1983) 11.12.2020

We're fully into the holiday season and chase Slysgiving with the Brarbara Streisand passion project Yentl to celebrate Hanukkah. On this episode, we discover Doug's refusal to swim in a 'piss pond', get some information about Jamie's old audition process, and try in all honesty to figure out what everyone who meets Yentl/Ansel thinks is actually going on there. Doug's movie tastes become increasi...

Episode 144: Over the Top (1987) 27.11.2020

On this special Slysgiving episode of the podcast, Doug confuses lawyers for judges and seceataries for lawyers and wonders if the dying mother is the actual villian of this movie. Meanwhile, Jamie wishes for a Stallone/Loggia Christmas card and is wildly confused by commercials on streaming services. Turn your hat around backwards, challange a random child to an arm wrestling match and join us as...

Episode 143: Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988) 13.11.2020

On this episode, Doug reveals his attraction to Ape-Women and dry ice, Jamie recommends watching a movie that doesn't exist, and the two of them continually refer to characters by the wrong names, all while critiquing Rowdy Roddy's physique and eating habits. And of course, how can we possibly watch a movie about a race of frog people without talk of Alex Jones! Strap on your chasitity belt, heat...

Episode 142: A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) 30.10.2020

Doug and Jamie assume that Nancy's house must have been sold pre-furnished, that Grady must be a bed-wetter, could't believe that Meryl Streep got her start in a Nightmare movie, and assume that Clu Gulager mush have had quite the life as to not be phased by and exploding toaster and parakeet. Jamie thinks that cabana is Spanish for bathroom and she calls Doug a 'podcast slut'. Hang with us as we...

Episode 141: Slumber Party Massacre II (1987) 16.10.2020

Doug and Jamie head to a beautiful condo where they consume far too much champagne & corn dogs and discuss how much anal play is involved in a Tokyo Convertible. Jamie also doesn't understand how to eat a Jolly Rancher, Doug discovers the real reason why the police should be defunded and Jamie also assumes that anyone on trial for murder in Italy must be seranaded at least once...perhaps more...

Episode 140: Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) w/Stephanie Crawford 02.10.2020

The ghost of Stephanie Crawford stops by and politely asks permission to possess Jamie and Doug for this episode. Discussions of haunted capes, haunted trunks, haunted rocking horses and haunted answering machines are had and the three decide what the appropriate reaction is when your naked friend gives you tiny kisses all over your face in the shower. Join us as our Summer of Sequels slides into...

Episode 139: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn (1982) 18.09.2020

We head back into the final frontier as we put a bow on our Summer of Sequels! In this episode Jamie and Doug talk extensively about Kirstie Alley's real eyebrows (just let them put the fake ones on), Jamie takes some time to explain the difference between a War and a Trek and Doug manages to tie a Star Trek movie to an episode of Full House. There's talk of the ship's masturbation chamber, terrib...

Episode 138: Staying Alive (1983) 04.09.2020

Jamie and John Travolta hope that all is well in 'Britland', maybe because of Brexit. Doug isn't sure exactly but he is very excited about sitting thought an entire broadway show at this end of this episode. But maily it's because he's curious about a show titled, Satan's Alley. But anyway, on this episode we discuss a movie where Penny from Dirty Dancing and Blossom's stepmom fight over a lean, m...

Episode 137: Teen Wolf Too (1987) 21.08.2020

Doug remembers the long-forgotten fear of the Zombie episode of The Hogan Family and Jamie's caught up in those Dreamy Bateman eyes. But none of that can keep us from realizing that this is just a terrible movie. Why is this a sports movie? Why is Styles recast? Why is Styles even there? Why didn't they decide on an accent for the 'hot girl'? And again, why so much sports in a werewolf movie? Join...

Episode 136: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) 07.08.2020

The X-Games are super dumb but we have an idea to make them at least a bit better. We appreciate the progressive sexuality of this Mad Max film and how much it leans into the S&M scene. We discuss futuristic dog fashion, are confused by basic engineering of how you extract oil from the ground and spot an Amish Road Warrior. Also, Jamie looked in vain for Tina Turner for an hour and a half. We...

Episode 135: Short Circuit 2 (1988) 24.07.2020

A sequel that removes Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy (basically all the charm) so Doug and Jamie are stuck with Fischer Stevens and a robot devoid of humor and personality. Cynthia Gibb is given nothing to do but Doug and Jamie would watch a different film starring she and the cab driver, with whom she has the most chemistry. Fisher Stevens in brown face may strangely be one of the least offensive thi...

Episode 134: Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) 10.07.2020

Doug is mad! He's so mad at this movie that he even recommends a movie he doesn't like at the end of the episode. Jamie absolutely loves the Shit Sisters and tries clinging to that to help her get through this film. A confusing mix of gross and bland deaths, terrible acting, writing, directing and editing come together to create a shameful sequel to one of the best films we've covered on the podca...

Episode 133: The Karate Kid Part II (1986) 27.06.2020

On this episode, Doug is obsessed with the character of 'mailman', Jamie wants to start a movement #bringbackthenosehonk and adds a bit of penis to the tea ritual, and we both wonder what exactly has been happening to all of Chozen's shirts. Join us as we cover The Karate Kid Part II, the story of a Japanese girl and her messy bun. Please provide a rating and review wherever you get the episode. T...

Episode 132: Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1985) 12.06.2020

On this episode, Jamie reveals that she has a garbage man who may not actually be a garbage man, Doug hates The Departed slightly less than he hates Mark Wahlberg, and they realize that Patrick Swayze's character in Ghost must have been a huge fan of the second Police Academy film. Join us as we cover Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment! Please provide a rating and review wherever you get the...
