Halloween (1978)

It’s SpookTober and what is more iconic than scary dudes with masks looking to chase local babysitters? That’s right, we’re looking at the horror classic, 1978’s Halloween. Directed by John Carpenter, Halloween follows the story of a troubled young boy who turns into a malevolent and unstoppable force as an adult. This week, Rob, Kurt and Dave will re-watch a movie considered an all time classic to see if it still holds up and will retain the title as the greatest horror movie ever made. We’ll discuss whether or not all other modern day horror movies only exist because of John Carpenter’s classic. It spawned multiple sequels and made its main evil character, Michael Myers a pop culture icon. So grab some overalls, toss on a mask and go looking for teenagers doing all the things they’re not supposed to be doing as we try to scare the crap out of you talking about 1978’s Halloween.

90’s #1 Hits?

The 1990’s were a wild time for music. The emergence of so many styles and genres of music made it one of the most eclectic decades of our lifetimes. However, despite producing some of the most iconic and memorable songs and albums of the last 40-50 years, somehow some questionable songs were able to top the Billboard charts. On this week’s episode, Rob and Dave take a look at a group of songs that overcame many of their own shortcomings to somehow become the most popular song in America for at least 1 week in the 90’s. We’ll look at the songs, what they were all about and discuss why we think they may have been able to rise up the charts and overtake music, that looking back was completely superior in so many ways. So buckle up for some interesting hits from the 90’s this week, and maybe a few you might actually like, as we ask the question “How Did These Songs hit #1 in the 90’s?”

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no job is too big, no fee is too big for Rob, Dave and Kurt as they go busting ghosts. We’re going back 40 years to revisit the timeless 80’s comedy classic Ghostbusters.

It also has a theme song that has become one of the most iconic in movie history, endless quotes people still use today and an appeal as a movie that appeals to kids and adults alike. So join us as we breakdown and have fun going over our favorite parts of the movie and take a journey back to one of the most beloved films of the 1980’s. So break up the dogs and cats, and you should know exactly Who You’re Gonna Call, and we’ll bring the marshmallows.

1980’s Soft/Yacht Rock

The sweet and smooth polished sounds of the late 70’s and early 80’s was deemed soft rock. It had its own radio stations sometimes on the AM dial and became music synonymous with riding in an elevator or waiting in a doctors office. In the early 2000’s, this brand of what was known as Soft Rock was renamed Yacht Rock from a web series, but has now become widely accepted as describing this style of music. Soft or Yacht rock combines jazz, R&B and rock influences to create an easy going feeling about love and a carefree lifestyle. On this episode, Dave, and Rob (reluctantly) list their favorite songs from this genre. They’ll go over each other’s choices and surely have some spirited discussion and debate over the choices. So ditch those leather jackets, grab a cozy sweater and a glass of chardonnay and imagine you’re on a yacht drifting carelessly in slow motion. Now you’re ready for songs that can be played at a wedding or in an office setting and are just catchy enough to be oh so memorable.

80’s Movie Montages

What happens when you only have 90 minutes to tell a really long story, and you cannot take the time to expand on the entire plot? That would be the old movie making adage of putting in a montage. You can easily streamline your story and show growth by the characters from being really bad at something to becoming a pro in 3-4 minutes. Throw in a kick ass 80’s hype song, and they become unforgettable moments in any great movie. This week we’re taking a look at our favorite montage moments from particular movies that used this filmmaking trick better than others. We’ll rank our top 10 favorite montages from 80’s movies, and hopefully not miss any of the classics, pointing out why each montage is awesome and should always be remembered. The mix of rousing music, energetic editing, and strong emotional beats made montages not just memorable but integral to the tone and impact of 80s movies. They often encapsulated the film’s core themes in just a few minutes, leaving a lasting impression.

80’s 90’s Saturday Night Live Performers

Saturday Night live in the 1980’s and 1990’s are considered the golden era of the show. During these two decades, the show spawned many legendary performers that would go on to become comedy and movie stars influencing pop culture even to this day. For this week’s episode, Rob and Dave take a look, and rank their favorite SNL performers from this golden era of the 80’s and 90’s to reveal who are their favorites, and who they think were the funniest and most influential, not quite ready for prime time players. SNL created so many classic characters and recurring sketches such as Wayne’s World, The Church Lady, Hans and Franz and Canteen Boy. They were also always on the cutting edge of political satire, with their dead-on impersonations of the most powerful world figures of the time. Finally, the show became a must-see for the most popular musical acts of the time which kept the show constantly culturally relevant and appealed to the younger hip audience. So let’s go back to lunch lady land, dance with Swayze for Chippendales and please, lay off us, we’re starving as we head to 30 Rock this week to revisit Saturday Night Live.

Dave, Rob and Kurt will dig into all the funny, and perhaps bad parts of this 40 year old movie. Add in a wild party at the popular kid’s house and a very confused exchange of underwear, and you’ve got the ultimate recipe for teen embarrassment. It’s a hilarious ride through the minefield of high school with a sweet ending that proves even the worst days can turn out surprisingly great!
