Episode 61: The Breakfast Club, or Who’s Afraid of Virgins and Weed

Come to school on a Saturday and take in what might be the nicest library ever disrespected by teenagers as we find the root of our early dating trauma in John Hughes’s The Breakfast Club. Is Judd Nelson the ultimate beautiful bad boy, or an assault charge waiting to happen? Did no one tell these brats not to climb on the rare Henry Moore sculpture? And can we all just generally agree that teenagers suck? What we found out is that some of us have to come to terms with our horrible taste in movie men. Does that answer your question?

Episode 60: Clueless, or All About That Baldwin, No Barney

Pick the perfect color-coordinated outfit and make sure you totally pause at that stop sign, as we cruise into Amy Heckerling’s 1995 teen romp Clueless. Has a movie ever spoken as directly to young women of a certain generation as this movie does to the ladies on this podcast? Where does Paud Rudd keep his enchanted portrait that allows him to stay as boyishly good looking as he does? And was there ever a time when it took 20 minutes to get anywhere in LA? You expect us to give you all the answers before you even listen to the episode? As if. 

Episode 59: Batman, or The Nightmare Before MCU

Swish your flappy capes and check your weight as we swing into Tim Burton’s 1989 comic book classic Batman. Forget the best Batman debate, is Michael Keaton the best Bruce Wayne? Who decided it’s ok for a grown woman to pretend she weighs just 108 pounds? Is this Nicholson at his silliest? And what did we do to deserve Prince and his soundtrack genius? We’ll give you all the answers after we dance with the devil in the pale moonlight. 

YNFA 081: Bram Stoker's Dracula, or I Vant To Talk To Your Accent Coach, They Suck – You're No Fun Anymore

Prepare to cross oceans of time as we bite into Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker's Dracula. (The Stake-House?) Is this the thirstiest of all the Dracula films? Are the accents a pain in the neck, or fang-tastic? Does anyone wear a pair of slutty little sunglasses as well as Gary Oldman does? Can we stop making vampire puns? Don’t Count on it!

Episode 58: Howard the Duck, or The Shape of Waterfowl

Fluff your feathers and fight those space demons as we fly into 1986’s Howard the Duck. Why were the late 80s so filled with duck content? Does anyone else remember Howard being a detective? Is Cherry Bomb one of the greatest movie bands of all time? And can someone please let Lea Thompson do the remake she has wanted to for so long? Instead of answers, let us share our duck sex trauma with you.

Episode 57: Honey I Shrunk the Kids, or My Science Child Neglect

Jump on the family dog like it’s Shai-Hulud and avoid near death experiences at far too young an age as we fall into 1989’s family movie night classic Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Does anyone else have extremely strong feelings about Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Creme Pies? Why were oversized obstacle courses such a pop culture touchstone of the late 80s/early 90s? Do we need to start a website to let moviegoers know if the ant dies too? And did anyone else spot Buffy’s mom and get very excited? We’ll answer all your questions after we finish this giant turkey that probably tastes gross.
