Jason, Andy, and Dana

Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1985 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983 & 1984 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.

Body Double

Exciting and New ·

2024/05/08

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana discuss the 1984 Alfred Hitch....no, wait, the Brian DePalma noir thriller Body Double. Fresh off of Scarface, DePalma used all his new clout and decided he wanted to rip off Alfred Hitchcock, but make it more sexy (?). Bill Maher apparently wasn't avalible, so they got some dude who looked just like him, to perv around a fresh faced Melanie Griffith. There is not a lot to like about this movie. They took all the things we liked

Opie Cunningham directs Tom Hanks as the lovable loser who unknowingly falls in love with a mermaid. Johnny Candy stars as his perverted brother, and is the real star of this movie and we miss him every day. Daryl Hannah stars as the mermaid who gains legs when she is on land (this is how she fooled Tom Hanks in case you thought he was just ignoring her

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th...

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana are guestless as they discuss the 1984 cult classic (why?) sci-fi comedy (?) The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Peter Weller stars as the neurosurgeon, rock star, racecar driving hero (honestly, did the writer’s room just sit around and think up all the cool jobs and give them all to the same guy?). Was there any logical reason he had to have all these jobs? He falls in love with his, get this, dead wife's

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Brady back onto the show as we all have a grand ol' time discussing the 1984 Comedy (sci-fi?, horror?) classic Ghostbusters. For the second time this year, we decide to try to get some extra play by discussing a movie from 40 years ago that just so happens to have a 2024 version as well and hoping you all get confused and listen to this by accident. You know and love this one. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Brian back onto the podcast for the first time since he stormed off in anger (over a salary dispute) to discuss the 1984 spoof-comedy Johnny Dangerously. This movie is a 1930s gangster spoof, with a crazy deep cast. But who are we kidding, we are most excited about Brian coming back on the podcast. We had a good time catching up and also discussing the movie. Three out of the four people on this podcast raved about this

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Zach back on as he forgives Andy for losing the Krull episode, and as a punishment, has us watch the 1984 afterschool-special-but-released-in-theaters Firstborn. This movie does boast a stellar cast. The wife from Mr. Mom, Robocop, Iron Man, the chick who looks like a foot on Sex and the City, one of the Corey's and our second appearance by the kid from Sleepaway Camp. The bad guy in this movie? The same bad guy from every

The Last Starfighter

2024/03/27

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana are joined by first timer Jim as we discuss the 1984 sci-fi space opera (their words, not mine) The Last Starfighter. In this movie, that could only come out of the 1980s, video games are used for recruitment tools into the intergalactic star league and luckily for the universe, one of said video games is placed in the trailer park where our hero Alex Rogan is living. CGI is in its infancy in this movie, as everything looks pretty

2024/03/20

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Connor back to the show as they try to glom onto some of the current hype by discussing the 1984 sci-fi David Lynch flick Dune. This is the first screen adaptation of the Frank Herbert classic, and let's be honest, the newer version is far superior. But that doesn't mean there isn't a lot to love from this attempt. The special effects are wonky at times, and the shields look insanely terrible, but the cast is A+, and they

2024/03/13

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana discuss the 1984 ZAZ written and directed Airplane follow up (that's right, they had nothing to do with Airplane 2) Top Secret! Val Kilmer is a young Elvis type singing and dancing his way through eastern Europe in this 1960s, or possibly 1950s, or maybe even WW2 era parody movie. This movie is not as good as Airplane or Naked Gun, but it has some laughs and most of the gang liked this movie. Watch the movie and see if you can spot

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana travel back to the ancient year of 1980 for a very special episode as they discuss the cameo filled movie Midnight Madness. Part Mad, Mad World, part After-school special, 5 groups of college kids (all broken up in their appropriate stereotype) race around Los Angeles on a scavenger hunt to win the....uh.. what did they win? It doesn't matter. The logic of this movie makes no sense but it is quite fun. Filled with future stars and

Blood Simple

Exciting and New ·

2024/02/29

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana discuss the 1984 Neo-Noir Coen Brothers movie Blood Simple. This is the first time out for the Coen's and it shows. This movie looks like it had a budget of about $50, and if you belive some of the stories, that $50 was hard earned. We know the Coens will go on to do amazing things, and a Coen-rewatch is certainly in Andy's future, but this one seems more like a college film than a theatrical release. But we get a first-time
