Conrad gets Melinda to watch THREE 80s movies she's never seen before to get her reaction to the 80s vision of our artificial intelligence future. Will she guess their plots correctly? Will she like any of them? Can Conrad predict her reactions? Movies watched: 2010: The Year We Make Contact, D.A.R.Y.L., and Electric Dreams
This month we're discussing the child safety panic of the 80s in the US and UK, the funny and the terrifying.
Melinda and Conrad remember two fairy tale anthology shows from the 80s- Faerie Tale Theatre with Shelly Duvall and The StoryTeller by Jim Henson - and analyze the history of fairy tales in general. They also discuss their new obsession with the work of well-known Harvard folklore expert Maria Tatar.
Growing up in the 80s for many of us meant a constant awareness and fear of nuclear war, along with everything that would follow. We explore the media of the decade and how it reflected these fears, with a focus on The Day After (US, 1983) and Threads (UK, 1984) - TV movies with a big message.
Melinda and Conrad explore the trailblazing teen shows Degrassi Junior High and Grange Hill.
Melinda and Aaron take a journey back to 1989 and take a deep dive into the Abyss (pun very much intended) with special guests Conrad and Dan from Movie Oubliette. They may or may not be saved by benevolent aliens, but they're guaranteed to spend longer underwater than they intended.
We travel from the comic books of the 70s to George Lucas and Willard Huyck's vision to Marvel's current cinematic universe to discover Howard the Duck - trapped in a world he never made.
Join Melinda and Aaron as they dive deep into the dumpster containing the Garbage Pail Kids- they discuss the cards, the film, the cartoon, and more!
Melinda and Aaron dive deep into the swirling vortex that is the history of Alien Autopsy, that crazy special from the mid-1990s.
Dreamland goes goth and delves into the witchy world of The Craft from 1996.
Melinda and Aaron recall a memorable remake of the classic Twilight Zone series from their childhoods... that scared them intensely.
Join Melinda and Aaron as they descend into the somewhat cringey fever dream that is 1980's Xanadu. Where roller skating, disco, and big Hollywood musicals crash head-on into Greek mythology and romance, you'll find… Xanadu.
We delve into the seedy underbelly of American suburbia, look at our neighbors' house and ask, "What's he building in there?" And we talk about the cult classic 80s film starring Tom Hanks.
Melinda and Aaron have fought through the COVID-19 malaise and are each back with a surprise topic. Melinda delves into what makes a great cover song, with a handful of interesting examples, while Aaron recalls our hopeful visions of space travel from the 80s.
