Soul Man

Exciting and New ·

2026/04/22

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Stacey back on the show to discuss the 1986 "comedy" Soul Man. Remember the 80's when black face was so fun? Yeah, neither did we. This Tom Howell supposed comedy fails to bring the laughs and fails on many other levels as well. Darth Vader is there to provide the moral center (Darth Vader? The moral center??). Ron Reagan is there to embarrass this dad's presidency. Frank Drebin and Elaine Benes are absolutely wasted

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Zach back on the podcast as they celebrate their 200th movie review and discuss the 1986 action movie Aliens. In this all time classic, Ripley is back fighting xenomorphs and babysitting a group of space marines (and Newt as well), while the shittyLegend conspires behind their backs. You know the drill. There is chest bursting and egg hatching and flame throwing. Some upstart takes Sir Ridley Scott's place in the

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Dan back on the show to discuss the 1986 comedy Gung Ho. In this culture clash Opie farce, Batman and Long Duck Dong try to get Norm and Jesus to build them some cars, all while trying to show why America sucks and Japan is awesome. This is standard 80s movie magic. Will they meet their car quota? Will Japan recognize how great American workers are? Should Norm have been barred from softball for life, with this blatant

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Doug back on the show as they discuss the 1986 sports classic Hoosiers. In this basketball drama, Lex Luthor takes on the task of coaching a bunch of farm boys to the state championship. Dennis Hopper plays his typically great washed up drunk. And for some reason Barbara Hershey is along for the ride. This movie is always mentioned as one of the best sports movies of all time. Does the Exciting & New crew agree?

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mike back on the show to discuss the 1986 horror movie The Hitcher. In this movie Tom Howell is stalked by an unkillable Ray Batty. That's pretty much the plot. You either like those kinds of movies or you don't. It's safe to say most of us like those kinds of movies. Oh, and Jennifer Jason Leigh tags along for some reason.

In this Rodney Dangerfield classic, Sam Kinison, Burt Young and Ned Beatty try to teach two generations of Melons that with enough money, you can be a world class diver Wait...is that the message? Maybe Robert Downey Jr, Sally Kellerman and Adrienne Barbeau try to teach them love. Well, whatever the moral of the story was, it was a really big check.

In this seminal 80s flick, John Wick and George McFly take opposing stands on how to help their friend deal with a problem down by the "river's edge". Meanwhile, a doll goes missing, sending this small California town into manhunt mode.

Platoon

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Mac back on the show to discuss the 1986 war drama Platoon. Before Charlie Sheen was doing all the winning, he shipped off to Vietnam and did a lot less winning. Based on Oliver Stone's personal experiences, this movie continues the 1980s love affair with Vietnam that lasted well into the 90s. This movie is highly quotable and highly traumatizing, with an all-star cast that gets wiped out along the way. Watch this movie,
