Oldie But A Goodie

In our first episode covering 1984, we talk about a film that tries to be about skiing... but is mostly about bunch of very horny "teenagers" (who are all in their 30s) starting drama. It's Hot Dog... The Movie, released January 13th, 1984. Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow the show!
