The Retros
Episode 28: 1987 Intermission
This week we look back at our 1987 episode and see if it needs any mistakes rectified or omissions told.
In this episode:
We made some mistakes. We hold ourselves accountable for those mistakes! Even if we have to make fun of each other for making those mistakes.
We talk about the late, great John Witherspoon, who starred in cinematic touchstones such as I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Boomerang, House Party, and the Friday series of movies, and apologized for forgetting his name during the main show.
This week we talk about 1987 as the beginning of the end of the slow decline of the sword and sandal fantasy movie genre, bottoming out with Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity. We both agreed that Running Man was the most 80s movie made in the 80s, but part of that was the interpretation of the future that science fiction movies portrayed. We talked about the different futures that more recent movies sought to show.
This intermissions' outro music, Theology/Civilization from the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack by Basil Poledouris.
All this and more, in a compact thirty minutes!
Thank you for listening and watch more movies!
