We've done a lot of crazy things on The B-Movies Podcast, but trying the distill all the movies of the 1980s into a simple Top Ten list may be the most foolhardy. But we're going to do it anyway! This week, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold each reveal their picks for the ten best movies of the 1980s, and they only agree on a single, solitary film. Beloved genre films and obscure foreign classics await you on this epic episode! (The list begins at 1:06:41.)
But that's not all! Bibbs and Witney are also saying goodbye to the late, great actors Glenne Headly and Adam West, and reviewing the new feature films The Mummy, It Comes at Night and My Cousin Rachel. One of those films will lead to one of Bibbs and Witney's most impassioned arguments, so stick around!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
