All those 80s films you’d forgotten either intentionally or just faded into the mists of time - some famous, some not so famous but whatever we choose, we always have a good discussion. Come and listen to Charlie, Joe and Dom bicker over, sorry ’analyse’ whether it’s a good, bad or just plain ugly movie.

Monday Oct 05, 2020
Monday Oct 05, 2020
We are joined by Joe, Jack and Taylor - our good friends from the Nerd Alert podcast (https://podcasts.wdwnt.com/category/nerdalert/).
In this Season 2 finale, we swap stories about school, guess the ages of supposed teenagers and Amanda forgets who Ian McKellen is.
Oh, and we also discuss the film.
Hope you like this - recording it was great fun!

S02E09 - Weird Science (1985)
Thursday Sep 24, 2020
Thursday Sep 24, 2020
In this (bonus) episode, we needed to cover Weird Science (1985) before our season finale.
We discuss Nerds vs Robert Downey Jr, body envy problems, Super-Computers that didn't exist and the little known fact that this was called 'Cool Magic With Lisa' abroad.
We do talk about the film...honest!

S02E08 - Pretty In Pink (1986)
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
Wednesday Sep 02, 2020
In this penultimate Season 2 episode we look at the John Hughes classic 'Pretty In Pink' (1986) starring Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald and the can-do-no-wrong James Spader.
Listen in astonishment as Amanda gives it an truly unbelievable score out of 10, marvel at Charlie's adulation, appreciation and love of the entire film, a Robert Downey Jr reference that (predictably) makes Amanda go all mushy and wonder 'where are all the adults in this film?'

S02E07 - Less Than Zero (1987)
Sunday Aug 16, 2020
Sunday Aug 16, 2020
Sorry for the delay but we're back and this time dealing with the dark film that is Less Than Zero (1987).
With that darkness, while there's no swearing, there are vague references to more serious issues so perhaps not one for the juniors this time..
We look at what happens when a film studio take the source material and then make a different film, the loneliness affecting each character and, of course, I praise James Spader to the hilt (again).

S02E06 - Mannequin (1987)
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
We take a look at the 1987 film 'Mannequin' starring Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall and James Spader (who can do no wrong).
We are joined by our budding film reviewer (aka daughter) Amy who has a different theory on mortality, Amanda gets slightly riled as she confuses Clint Eastwood with Sylvester Stallone and I try to make sense of how nobody in the entire city can see a doll come to life.
As ever, there's 'Little Does She Know' where the girls work together and Amy earns her guessing stripes.

S02E05 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Tuesday Jul 07, 2020
Tuesday Jul 07, 2020
In this John Hughes classic, we join Steve Martin and John Candy on their Road Trip.
I marvel at Martin's comedic genius, Amanda prefers Candy. We discuss some hidden meanings, John Travolta's movies in the 80s (oh dear) and whether there are hidden subtexts, especially a possible affair.
And, of course, we have Amanda demonstrating her impeccable movie knowledge in 'Little Does She Know'

S02E04 - Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
In this episode, we look at the (perhaps forgotten) John Hughes classic 'Some Kind of Wonderful' that tries to right the wrongs of 'Pretty In Pink'. We ask 'which character's film is this?', whether Eric Stoltz is a good Marty McFly and listen as Amanda tries to guess the films at the end in our new feature 'Little Does She Know..."
Spoiler alert - not much.

S02E03 - Stand By Me (1986)
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
Thursday Jun 04, 2020
We look at Stand By Me (maybe not forgotten, as such), directed by Rob Reiner, in which we talk about the talent that is River Phoenix, leeches and the power of friendship. Please listen to the end as Amanda will demonstrate her thorough knowledge of all things cinema (and I get an idea for a regular feature, as a result of it)
