Two Pricks Talk 80s Flicks
"TWO PRICKS TALK 80S FLICKS" is where we (Mike & Darren) talk about - you guessed it! - 80s flicks! We discuss, mock, laugh at, venerate, analyse, scorn, and generally have a laugh while talking about films we have loved from the gaudiest decade known to mankind. Comedy, horror, drama, rom-com, action - we take them all on and have a giggle while doing so!
Episodes
We laugh our way through the Dirty Dancing, the career of Patrick Swayze, 80s training montages, Jennifer Grey and her nose, the bildungsroman and sexual awakening, the male gaze, mesmerism, the US class system, Ayn Rand, ATMs, the Borscht Belt, and much, much more...
We have a laugh talking about Aliens, Bill Paxton, Dr Who, the career of Al Matthews, oil rigs, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Jeanette Winterson, the vileness of CGI, the career of James Cameron, why we disagree about Terminator II, and the greatness of Sigourney Weaver.
In which we chuckle merrily talking and reminiscing about Weird Science, John Hughes, wish fulfillment, fairy tales, high school, parents, girls, 80s computers, mutant biker gangs, racism, Mozart, and why we had bras on our head.
Our second episode, in which we talk and joke about "Creepshow", as directed by George Romero and written by Stephen King. We also talk nonsense about the nature of bromance, sexism, irony in horror films, and the pleasure of having a nice study with leather chairs. Enjoy!
Our first episode, in which we laugh ourselves silly talking about Monty Python's "The Meaning Of Life": its background, funding, writing, acting, artwork, directing and, er, meaning, and try to evaulate it against the other Python films. While doing silly voices and quoting the best bits. Enjoy!
