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?

Episodes

Episode 131: Back to the Future (1985) 29.05.2020

We're five years into this podcast and decided to cover a movie that nearly everyone alive has seen for a change. On this episode, Doug's Doc Brown sounds like a pretty bad Bernie Sanders, while Jamie confuses 'Flubber' for 'flub' and 'Flubber' for 'blubber' and 'dolphin' for 'whale'. Join us as we cover a movie that challenges Sleepaway Camp for the best thing we've discussed in five years, Back...

Episode 130: Forbidden World (1982) 15.05.2020

Who would have imagined a movie full of space monsters and nudity could be so dull? On this episode, Doug admits to having trouble following the movie but was kinda into the soundtrack, while Jamie recommends that listeners get naked and do a Web MD search. For what? She never explains. Join us as we cover a movie that wants to be Alien but only has one hallway to work with. Please provide a ratin...

Episode 129: My Mom's a Werewolf (1989) 01.05.2020

On this episode, Jamie waxes poetic regarding the glut of werewolf movies in the 80s and Doug supports this housewife's affair and the two of them question John Saxon's career choices...and there's a chance they're giving it more thought than he did. Join us as we cover a movie that probably shouldn't have taken us nearly 130 episodes to get to. Please provide a rating and review wherever you get...

Episode 128: Sweet Liberty (1986) 17.04.2020

On this episode, Doug realizes that both Indiana Jones and Alan Alda gave him a false impression of what the life of a college professor would be and Jamie's a little frightened that Alda might show up at her door with salad ingredients...she knows exactly what's on his mind if that happens. Listen to their thoughts on the patron-suggested episode, Sweet Liberty! Please provide a rating and review...

Episode 127: Follow That Bird (1985) 03.04.2020

On this episode, Jamie discusses the several times she's been in parades...because she worked at a pizzeria. She also shames Doug for not owning a Sesame Street Playset as a kid. Meanwhile, Doug teases his Oscar & Maria slash fiction and they both finally realize there's always been a bar on Sesame Street. Listen to their thoughts on Follow That Bird! Please provide a rating and review whereve...

Schitt's and Giggles (podcast preview) 27.03.2020

Episode 126: Flowers in the Attic (1987) 20.03.2020

On this episode, Doug refuses to learn that names of the children in this movie and he just refers to them as Kristy Swanson, Perm Baby, and the rest. Jamie wonders if there's a way that birds can make out given the beaks and all. And they pat themselves on the backs about just how great their recommendations are! It's only taken 126 episodes. Be sure to provide a rating and review of the show whe...

Episode 125: Flash Gordon (1980) 06.03.2020

Episode 124: Disorderlies (1987) 21.02.2020

Doug hates this movie so much that he tries talking about Nurse Betty instead. Nobody's talked about Nurse Betty since it was released in 2000, and even than nobody wanted to talk about it. Jamie's excited about Edie Murphy's career resurrection but she also knows just how to stop it. The Tuesday recording's got them all thrown off so between Jamie's beat-boxing and Doug's inability to remember th...

Episode 123: The Journey of Natty Gann (1985) 07.02.2020

It's Jamie's birthday so she gets to pick the film! Doug raves about the dog in this film acting circles around John Cusack while Jamie basically admits this movie is just Annie with 95% more Newsis caps. Take a journey with us as we discuss Robocop, Fame, Michael Vick, livin' that hobo life and most important, a girl with a giant locket! Be sure to provide a rating and review of the show wherever...

Episode 122: The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) 24.01.2020

Doug tries not to confuse Christian Slater with Helen Slater or Stephen Dorff...or Kirk Cameron while Jamie fumbles around trying to find a derogatory term for blonde kids. Also, sorry Yeardley Smith, but you're forever Lisa Simpson! We talk a lot of Supergirl at the top but this episode is on Billie Jean and her Legend! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www...

Episode 121: Star 80 (1983) 10.01.2020

We kick off 2020 with some hot garbage as Jamie wants to blame priests for what happened to Dorothy Stratten, Doug again longs for Guttenberg to appear and lighten the mood and neither host understands exactly what this gynecological/workout/sex/murder/suicide bench is exactly. Be sure to provide a rating and review of the show wherever you get it! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the...

Episode 120: Number One With A Bullet (1987) 27.12.2019

We put a bow on Billy Dee-cember with a Cannon-version of Lethal Weapon where both Jamie and Doug were confused by the plot but bewitched by Billy Dee...and Doris Roberts! Also, no doubt the director saw Cobra and said, 'pizza with scissors, I can beat that'. We hope everyone had a great 2019!

Doug is perplexed by a docter prescribing 'prayer' to one of his patients and Jamie fears for Melanie Griffith's safety...on set! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgreatmovies Merch on TeePublic: ht...

Episode 118: Nighthawks (1981) 29.11.2019

It's that time of year again where we celebrate Slysgiving. But this year, after the meal, we serve up some Billy Dee-ssert! In our discussion of Nighthawks, Jamie wishes for a Face-Off-esque film where Sly plays both parts...with and without a beard, and Doug questions why The Bionic Woman was even in this film and if Ann Taylor makes men's clothes. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support th...

Episode 117: Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) 15.11.2019

Doug belts out some Wilson Philips, Jamie sings a song about a heater that she made up and Doug’s head nearly explodes when Jamie calls Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a ‘good movie’. Oh, and they come down on different sides of Some Kind of Wonderful...and Eric Stoltz. Seriously, who doesn't like Eric Stoltz? https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/g...

Episode 116: Amazon Women on the Moon (1987) 01.11.2019

Jamie returns to the podcast just in time to cover a movie like no other that we've done. Is that a good thing, or did a patron just want to make us suffer. Spoiler; more the former but a bit of the latter.

Episode 115: Motel Hell (1980) with Stephanie Crawford 18.10.2019

There's only room for one at the Motel Hello, so they flip a coin and Jamie keeps on driving. Thankfully, Doug runs into Stephanie Crawford in the lobby and she manages to keep him from getting buried up to his neck in the 'Secret Garden'. Chainsaw fights, tubin', sexual assault, John Ratzenberger...This movie's got it all! https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://...

Episode 114: Deadly Blessing (1981) 04.10.2019

Grave robbing, terrifying Amish...I mean, um, Hittites, spooky spiders, poisonous snakes, a bit of Sleepaway Camp thrown in for good measure, and backgammon! Wow, this was a thrill ride. Or at least the final ten minutes were. We get our Wes Craven on and talk about one of his lesser-known works. https://www.goodtimesgreatmovies.com Support the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodtimesgre...
