The Movie Loft Podcast

Send us Fan Mail It’s the 35th anniversary of Trick or Treat this week! Here is another Fire Sale release from the Halloween 2020 vault. We're trying to provide you with as much content as possible this month, seeing as October is the summit of movie going. This film follows high school student Eddie Weinbauer, after finding out his heavy metal hometown hero, and Lakeridge High alumnus Sammi...

Send us Fan Mail DUNE 1984. This is a vault bonus episode! Tony and Jen guide us through the miasma of this David Lynch miscue, while Phil and Annaliesa augment the chat with enlightened deliberation. I give these kudos specifically because I sat there completely catatonic with only the occasional caustic contributions.  We recorded this conversation on October 3, 2020. I would say we were holding...

Send us Fan Mail THEY LIVE. It's a John Carpenter machine gun party up in here! Don't underestimate the present day relevance of this 1988 action packed, sci-fi juggernaut and its socioeconomic prophesying of the rich and powerful, and their instatiable urge to control your world. Sound heavy? Cue Roddy Piper, a WWF brawler with a Merriam-Webster sized canon of one liners that made Rowdy...

Send us Fan Mail ⚡️VAULT ALERT⚡️    Interested in some supernatural horror for your October? Full movie on YouTube.  Do you want to party with a bunch of high school kids in an abandoned funeral parlor? If yes, would you also like to partake in a séance, accidentally releasing a demon that’s been locked away in the crematorium? If also yes, would you be ok with said demon possessing all of you o...

Send us Fan Mail Let’s rumble! This week we take on Streets of Fire, an under appreciated (in its time) icon of aesthetics in 80s cinema that couldn’t quite overcome the deficiencies in the writing room.  We also talk about our local tv stations during our formative years in Boston, not to mention some of the local programming.  We’re talking UHF vs. VHF baby! All this while fending off marauding...

Send us Fan Mail School is in session, and if you take your subjects of study as seriously as we do....then join three grown men as they take teenage Gary to task for not being emotionally enlightened enough to save himself from being the architect of his own demise. This teen sex comedy came to existence at the same time as Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with an eerily similar controversial theme....

Send us Fan Mail Join us in the barn loft as we talk about Singles, a movie that may have been better served if it were split in two. In between the making and delayed release of this movie, the Seattle "grunge" explosion was spreading far and wide. Prompting Warner Brothers to release a movie that sat for 9 months because they weren't sure how to position/market it. That was until...

Send us Fan Mail Tony guides us through the dark and twisted (not nearly as bleak as the novel) tale that is Less Than Zero. Getting to witness the first sparks of acting prowess from Robert Downey Jr and James Spader is glorious. They came a long way from Tuff Turf.  We certainly had three different experiences of this movie before ending up at our final destination with it.
