Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven"t seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we"ve never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

Episode 147: Ishtar (1987)

2021/01/08

We finally tackle one of the worst movies ever made as we take a supporter-request and talk about the Hoffman/Beatty vehicle, Ishatar. In this episode, neither host has any idea what's happening in the move but also admit to not knowing anything about late 80s international conflicts between nations. Doug's surprised that even Charles Grodin couldn't even save this film, Jamie draws parallels to Yentl and the two compare the music perfarmances to a magical night with Jeff Goldblum. Come

Merry Christmas eveyone! In this episode, Jamie wants to get to the bottom of why exactly Mr. and Mrs. Claus can't conceve, Doug comes off as an idiot by not knowing that Santa is basically the same as Saint and also comes off as kind of a weird monster when he basically condones the kidnapping of homeless children. Come along as we try so hard to navigate our way through a movie that tells the history of Santa, while also focussing on a disgruntled elf, a homeless boy, a neglected rich

We're fully into the holiday season and chase Slysgiving with the Brarbara Streisand passion project Yentl to celebrate Hanukkah. On this episode, we discover Doug's refusal to swim in a 'piss pond', get some information about Jamie's old audition process, and try in all honesty to figure out what everyone who meets Yentl/Ansel thinks is actually going on there. Doug's movie tastes become increasingly complex, and he's angry about it as we continue our run of pretty fun movies (excluding

Episode 144: Over the Top (1987)

2020/11/27

On this special Slysgiving episode of the podcast, Doug confuses lawyers for judges and seceataries for lawyers and wonders if the dying mother is the actual villian of this movie. Meanwhile, Jamie wishes for a Stallone/Loggia Christmas card and is wildly confused by commercials on streaming services.

On this episode, Doug reveals his attraction to Ape-Women and dry ice, Jamie recommends watching a movie that doesn't exist, and the two of them continually refer to characters by the wrong names, all while critiquing Rowdy Roddy's physique and eating habits. And of course, how can we possibly watch a movie about a race of frog people without talk of Alex Jones!

Doug and Jamie assume that Nancy's house must have been sold pre-furnished, that Grady must be a bed-wetter, could't believe that Meryl Streep got her start in a Nightmare movie, and assume that Clu Gulager mush have had quite the life as to not be phased by and exploding toaster and parakeet. Jamie thinks that cabana is Spanish for bathroom and she calls Doug a 'podcast slut'. Hang with us as we stuggle with this damn thermostat and laugh our way though A Nightmare on Elm Street 2:

Doug and Jamie head to a beautiful condo where they consume far too much champagne & corn dogs and discuss how much anal play is involved in a Tokyo Convertible. Jamie also doesn't understand how to eat a Jolly Rancher, Doug discovers the real reason why the police should be defunded and Jamie also assumes that anyone on trial for murder in Italy must be seranaded at least once...perhaps more if the trial draggs on.

The ghost of Stephanie Crawford stops by and politely asks permission to possess Jamie and Doug for this episode. Discussions of haunted capes, haunted trunks, haunted rocking horses and haunted answering machines are had and the three decide what the appropriate reaction is when your naked friend gives you tiny kisses all over your face in the shower.

We head back into the final frontier as we put a bow on our Summer of Sequels! In this episode Jamie and Doug talk extensively about Kirstie Alley's real eyebrows (just let them put the fake ones on), Jamie takes some time to explain the difference between a War and a Trek and Doug manages to tie a Star Trek movie to an episode of Full House. There's talk of the ship's masturbation chamber, terrible, terrible matte paintings, how they might get from here to whales & so much more

Episode 138: Staying Alive (1983)

Jamie and John Travolta hope that all is well in 'Britland', maybe because of Brexit. Doug isn't sure exactly but he is very excited about sitting thought an entire broadway show at this end of this episode. But maily it's because he's curious about a show titled, Satan's Alley. But anyway, on this episode we discuss a movie where Penny from Dirty Dancing and Blossom's stepmom fight over a lean, mean, sweaty, mean, adorable, and mean, John Travolta. He hasn't learned his lesson from

Episode 137: Teen Wolf Too (1987)

2020/08/21

Doug remembers the long-forgotten fear of the Zombie episode of The Hogan Family and Jamie's caught up in those Dreamy Bateman eyes. But none of that can keep us from realizing that this is just a terrible movie. Why is this a sports movie? Why is Styles recast? Why is Styles even there? Why didn't they decide on an accent for the 'hot girl'? And again, why so much sports in a werewolf movie?

Episode 136: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)

Good Times Great Movies ·

2020/08/07

The X-Games are super dumb but we have an idea to make them at least a bit better. We appreciate the progressive sexuality of this Mad Max film and how much it leans into the S&M scene. We discuss futuristic dog fashion, are confused by basic engineering of how you extract oil from the ground and spot an Amish Road Warrior. Also, Jamie looked in vain for Tina Turner for an hour and a half. We somehow talk more about Mel Gibson's questionable movie roles of the late 90's - early 2000's

Episode 135: Short Circuit 2 (1988)

Good Times Great Movies ·

2020/07/24

A sequel that removes Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy (basically all the charm) so Doug and Jamie are stuck with Fischer Stevens and a robot devoid of humor and personality. Cynthia Gibb is given nothing to do but Doug and Jamie would watch a different film starring she and the cab driver, with whom she has the most chemistry. Fisher Stevens in brown face may strangely be one of the least offensive things about this movie. Just kidding, that's terrible even by 1988 standards. Join us as we

Episode 134: Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988)

2020/07/10

Doug is mad! He's so mad at this movie that he even recommends a movie he doesn't like at the end of the episode. Jamie absolutely loves the Shit Sisters and tries clinging to that to help her get through this film. A confusing mix of gross and bland deaths, terrible acting, writing, directing and editing come together to create a shameful sequel to one of the best films we've covered on the podcast.
