Our good friend Jeremy Choate joins us in the studio to chat about the 1986 Clint Eastwood pic "Heartbreak Ridge." Jeremy is an especially good guest to have on this episode because he is both an actor and...a former US Recon Marine!Does Clint's performance as Gunnery Sergeant Highway hold up after all these years? What does a Recon Marine think of the movie? Can Jason be counted on to frame the cameras for four people instead of three? All this and more await. Hosted on Acast.

It’s every nerdy boy’s dream to matriculate into college and hook up with the head cheerleader, no matter the cost.This 1980s “classic” turns that dream into a wildly illegal reality! Academically oriented freshmen Lewis & Gilbert (we THINK those are their names) discover just how shallow the dating pool is when they face off with the vicious Greek Council and feral cheerleaders of Adams College.Sexual assault abounds as the geeky tri-Lambdas seek retribution against the bullying and harassment of the Alpha-Betas and their bouncy girlfriends.Can our antagonist nerds win tug-of-war? Can they belch loudly enough? Did you know that John Goodman is in this movie? Does this movie hold up? Listen and find out as Darth, Adam, and Jason discuss Revenge of the Nerds! Hosted on Acast.

You’re a hot-blooded teenage boy on the verge of graduation and prom. Your application to flight school has been rejected. Your fighter ace dad is facing the gallows in a non-existent outlaw nation for the crime of being American. It’s up to Doug Masters and Col. Chappy Sinclair (yes, those are really their names) to hatch a PLAN. Just not before Doug races a Cessna against a dirt bike. Jumpin’ Jack Flash, this has GOT to be an 80s movie. Col. Ted Masters (seriously, these names though) is being held captive in a rouge state that’s run by Snidely Whiplash or Tony Shalhoub. Your favorite podcasters simply cannot decide.  Regardless, it’s time to crank up the tunes and jack an F-16, because it’s the Fall of the 80s on Hindsight is Horrifying!#1980s #80smovies #airforce #f16 Hosted on Acast.

What could be better than chasing tail and cheating at sports in the great outdoors? Nothing we humble podcasters can dream up, unless you figure out a way to factor in Bill Murray in a kid’s toy helmet.This 70s nonsensical classic not only granted the world access to the incomparable team that was Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, and Bill Murray. This film also taught us the greatest lesson that any kid could garner from summer camp: DON’T BE A MEATBALL!What’s a meatball? If you have to ask, you’re a total meatball.Could Bill Murray BE more creepy in this movie? Undoubtedly. Would that matter? In the 70s, probably not. Just ask Geena Davis. She used to be in movies, but she’s not in movies anymore.Don your Hawaiian shirts and short shorts. Lace up your Ah-Dee-Dahs and join us for our final Summer of 70s episode, Meatballs!

Did your mom ever put a hit on your dad? Did a gang of 50-year-old teenagers ever attack you in a mortuary so they could use a casket for a prank? Did one of those teenagers stomp your beloved pet to death? If so, we know just the quasi murderess who can help you return such morbid favors!Meet Susan. She’s a spider enthusiast and is the object of every creepy uncle’s eye. Okay, maybe just the one creepy uncle, but homeboy was having an affair with Susan’s mom before he set eyes on his niece. #CreepyAFSusan’s got 99 problems but murder ain’t one. This hot town loner possesses a literal army of tarantulas who can magically kill anyone they touch. Minus Susan, of course. No biting necessary with these supernatural spiders!In all seriousness, this movie makes no sense. The gist is that if you try to harm Susan in any fashion, you will experience death by spider. Does this qualify as murder? We don’t know! Join Darth, Jason, and two-dimensional Adam for a loopy discussion of Kiss of the Tarantula!But wait, the spiders never actually bit anyone… Hosted on Acast.

Check out the video version on Rumble!Armageddon has descended. The world has succumbed to the devastating results of biological warfare. A former TV newscaster has subsequently transformed into an albino, light-sensitive, technology-hating zealot. So, who will keep the public informed? How will Las Angeles know to stay classy?? CAN WE GET RON BURGUNDY ON THE PHONE??? WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT!Oh wait, none of this matters, because everyone is dead or undead except for Charlton Heston.In all honesty, Dr. Robert Neville (Heston) appears to be living the post-apocalyptic bachelor dream as he forages for supplies in the fanciest abandoned cars that L.A. has to offer. Yeah, those cars are occasionally set aflame by the albino "zompires," but that just makes survival interesting. Neville spends his considerable amount of spare time heckling the one remaining movie (MST3K style) and playing chess with a statue of Julius Caesar. So…there’s some silver lining to the End of Days, right? All good things must come to an end, however. Neville is kidnapped by a woman literally posing as a mannequin who is somehow NOT Kim Cattrall. He didn’t know it was a ruse, the big dumb idiot. Neville winds up getting laid, but most certainly pays the price. Women…The Summer of 70s continues! Join Darth, Jason, and Adam, for their somewhat riveting discussion of The Omega Man. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

CALLING ALL KEITH DAVIDS!Wait…Keith David WASN’T in this movie? Damn it, Jason…*Awkward Intermission*Stunt men, drunk driving, and bar fights, OH MY!Picture it: Sally Field stars in a movie where Burt Reynolds is the badass. No one saw that coming. But have you ever seen a horse drink beer?No one could pull off sexy meta narcissism like ol’ Burt. Psh. Don’t judge. Like any of y’all have your own Hollywood stunt reel to show off to your friends…When Mr. Brown’s away, Darth and Jason will design an incriminating photo opportunity. But that’s nothing compared to the death-defying stunts of Sonny Hooper, who, along with Hal Needham and ALL the Jan-Michael Vincents, will prove physics and mortality wrong…about everything.Your favorite podcasters just wanted Sally Field to enjoy her steak supper in that classy-ass honky-tonk. Join Darth and Jason for Hooper! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hold on to your gun silencers, it’s time for a gang assault! In this John Carpenter classic that was remade into a film starring Ethan Hawke that no one remembers, Darth, Adam, and Jason cannot figure out which is more fascinating: The fact that Precinct 13 is not IN precinct 13 orThe idea that a man can continuously “fire” an empty gun without realizing it. There’s no time to consider either glaring error when you’re being attacked by a pack of zombie-like Chicano/black/oriental toughs and hoods! Ah, good ol’ fashioned 70s racism…those were the days. It’s the Summer of 70s here on #HindsightisHorrifying. Grab your vanilla swirl ice cream and try not to get shot. On this new episode, your favorite podcasters are discussing Assault on Precinct 13! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hindsighters, what do YOU do to show your wives a good time? Well, if you’re Frank (Warren Oates) and Roger (Peter Fonda), you whisk your wives off to Colorado in the fanciest RV money can find! For some added fun, Frank and Roger travel through Texas en route to Colorado, roughhousing on dirt bikes and playing witness to the grisly Satanic cult murder of a hot young woman. It’s all in good fun until the cult in question sets it sights on Frank, Roger, their wives, and the beloved family dog as the next victims for sacrifice. The town is overrun by the Satanic cult and the local sheriff is literally of no help in this matter! What are the fellas to do to save themselves and their wives? Zoinks, gang!It’s the Summer of Seventies on #HindsightisHorrifying! We apologize in advance that Mr. Brown will be selecting too many of these films for you to “enjoy”, so brace yourselves.

Gloria Estefan was right. The cross-dressing rhythm IS going to get you. Picture it. South Beach, 1996. You’re a young straight man in love with the daughter of an imperiously conservative politician. Add to this equation that your parents are gay partners who own and star in a South Beach drag club. You and said daughter are engaged and now it’s time for your perilously opposite parents to meet one another. What do you do but turn your gay parents into a Lucille Ball-level illusion of traditional heterosexuality? Throw in a shoeless, half-dressed Guatemalan and you’ve got yourself an outstanding movie. In this comedy classic, no one makes a more hilariously dramatic couple than Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Don’t agree? Take some Pirin tablets and settle down, ya queen. Throw on your cutoffs and your best wig. In this exciting episode, the gang (and special guest host Amanda) discuss The Birdcage!

In The Rock, Nicholas Cage proves just how far a man will go to avoid committing to a relationship. When given the choice to address his imminent future with his pregnant girlfriend or fly across the nation to take down a group of insurgent American marines threatening their own country with an act of terrorism, Stanley Goodspeed (Cage), CANNOT get on a plane fast enough. Goodspeed is a D.C. biochemist who must Face Off (pun intended) with terrorists who have taken over the former prison island of Alcatraz and intend on destroying San Francisco with deadly VX gas warheads. Not enough of a twist, you say? We agree with you, #hindsighters, because what this movie is missing is a sexy criminal element, also known as John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery). You see, Goodspeed can disarm any nuclear bomb, but only Mason can sneak Goodspeed ON to the island of Alcatraz. How can Mason pull off such a mission? Because he’s the only former prisoner alive to successfully escape Alcatraz. Mason has only been in another prison (apparently one more difficult to escape from than Alcatraz) for the past 30 years. What could go wrong with this plan? Tune in and find out on our most recent episode, starring John C. McGinley…and a bunch of other people. Hosted on Acast.

“Darling…the only ghoul in this house is you.” – Annabelle LorenWelcome to the party on Haunted Hill, where the ghost stories aren’t made up, and the grudges do matter. Frederick Loren is hosting a gathering where all the guests get to walk away with ten thousand dollars apiece…assuming they survive the night in a horribly haunted house. Not enough of a twist, you say? Your favorite podcasters agree. As it turns out, the ghosts (and one random werewolf) might not be the most dangerous inhabitants of the House on Haunted Hill.  This William Castle classic begs the question: Would it be more fun to be murdered by an eccentric, mustachioed millionaire, or his cheating, smokin’ hot spouse? We suppose that comes down to your own kinky preference, but let’s all agree that disintegrating in a vat of acid would be absolutely zero fun. No bones about it. Darth will see herself out for that joke…unless Vincent Price has locked her in. Join Darth, Adam, and Jason for their first Halloween episode of the season, House on Haunted Hill! Hosted on Acast.

Darth was today years old when she discovered that Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken star in more than one movie together. In one of those movies, Nick of Time, Mr. Smith (Walken) threatens to murder Gene Watson’s (Johnny Depp) little girl unless Watson pulls the trigger on Governor Eleanor Grant during a public speech in a downtown L.A. hotel. And we have a movie! This film has everything going for it on paper. You have a handsome leading man racing against the clock. You have Christopher Walken literally stalking that leading man every step of the way on his mission to kill a governor so liberal that everyone and their mom (including her own husband and the guys at the hotel bar) want her dead. Johnny’s only allies are the veteran shoeshine and every single other hotel employee. In Nick of Time, there are countless build-ups with zero follow-through, and despite the stakes and talent that fill this movie to busting, it presents like a TV movie that could have used a few extra commercial breaks. Darth and Jason enjoyed it nonetheless. But did 2-D Adam Brown have an opinion? More importantly, did Johnny off the governor?? Tune in to find out! Hosted on Acast.

In this schlocky 90s comedy, Lt. Cmdr. Tom Dodge and his tattooed dick are facing a stacked deck. Due to his decorative penis and quirky methods of command, Dodge has been passed over for promotion by the Navy Selection Committee year after year. But when Rip Torn decides to pull rank out of pure nepotism for his own errant son (which no one seems to notice or care about), Dodge finally gets a shot at captaining his very own recommissioned, yet utterly decrepit, submarine. It’s up to Dodge and his colorful crew of misfit seamen, including a shockingly female Diving Officer, to navigate the USS Stingray through a War Games exercise that will determine his fate in the U.S. Navy. Does Dodge win the war games and Jim Carrey’s woman amidst self-inflicted chaos and loony piracy on the high seas? We’re not sure we even care, but in this episode of HIH, we discuss Down Periscope.

When you’re an under cover operative in a tough spot, who do you reach out to for help? James Bond? Ethan Hunt? Elon Musk? NOPE. In Penny Marshall’s directorial debut, it’s Whoopi Goldberg to the rescue for a British spy who just wants to get home. Meet Terry Doolittle (Goldberg), professional smartass and computer genius, also known as a bank chat specialist. Terry stumbles into the world of espionage when English spy, code name Jumpin’ Jack Flash, reaches out to her with cryptic communications over her faulty bank computer. Jack puts Terry’s feeble feminine brain to the test with coded messages alluding to the Rolling Stones; Terry does some dancing, cracks the code, acquires a frying pan, and illicit undercover activities commence. Jumpin’ Jack Flash is a Whoopi Goldberg vehicle that goes off road with ridiculous disguises, villainous treachery, & plenty of wise cracks. The British are coming, and Jim Belushi is armed with a tow truck and truth serum. But will Whoopi win the day and the middle-aged man? Smack your malfunctioning monitor and find out in this slapstick 80s romp. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What would you do for a Klondike bar? Would you bark like a dog? What would you do to maintain the secret of Nirvana? Would you murder a shark-bitten Swede? Leo DiCaprio sure would! In Danny Boyle’s 2000 film The Beach, some intrepid travelers seek a hidden island paradise for non-parasites in Thailand, a country where marijuana was recently legalized! After their deeply disturbed fellow traveler, Daffy, commits suicide on the Khao San Road, Richard discovers a map bequeathed to him by Daffy that leads to a forbidden beach so perfect, it was formerly thought of as nothing more than an urban myth. Richard’s bizarre journey includes a French couple, Etienne and Francoise, who like to have loud sex. The threesome’s difficult travels pay off when they finally arrive at The Beach, but this fairy tale land-turned coveted reality conceals a dark truth. The Beach is occupied by a group of hippie psychos who viciously guard their seaside commune, which also happens to be equipped with a manipulative ice queen and dangerous drug farmers who favor a Thai variation of Russian Roulette. There is almost too much to unpack when it comes to The Beach. Suffice it to say that, in this movie adapted from Alex Garland’s far superior debut novel, we discover that when paradise comes at too steep a price, it’s not the journey or the destination so much as the escape. Join Darth, Jason, and Adam for a dive into The Beach.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There’s this call girl. She’s got a bad rap, see? She’s stuck with a murderous john who owns all the hookers in Atlanta; he puts her up in a nice penthouse with fabulous clothes and all the dance classes she could ask for. It’s up to a ruggedly handsome vice cop to rescue her and give her the run-down home of her dreams in a ghetto part of the city so they can live happily ever after next to a playground of noisy ass kids. This dream house may not have a bed with a frame, but it has a lovely window seat with a rose carving, perfect for peeping on the local children at play. Now that we think about it, Sharky’s Machine may be the literal opposite story of Pretty Woman. This rendition of Dirty Harry Goes to Atlanta is a drama-packed, vice-ridden tale of Burt Reynolds (quasi-legally) stalking and sometimes slapping a hooker with whom he falls in love from afar. Don’t worry, he’s still focused on cleaning up the city streets. He might lose a few fingers in the process, but good ol’ Sharky will see to it that we ATLiens can enjoy our city without the worry of those awful out-of-staters. Join Darth, Adam, and Jason for the mustache ride that is Sharky’s Machine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh, my GOD, Mr. Cotter, I want YOU! What if Cheech and Chong joined the army? We’ll never know for sure, but Stripes gives us a close enough idea when Bill Murray talks Harold Ramis into becoming a grunt in this 80s comedy. John and Russell join the army, mud-wrestling shenanigans ensue, and our would-be heroes get the girls, but can they protect America’s newest super-weapon/shaggin’ wagon? Probably not, but it hardly matters when your main goal in life is to be the sharpest loofah in your platoon ever to graduate basic training. Sound off for Stripes! Hosted on Acast.

Not all of us can travel abroad during our college years. Some of us can’t afford college or travel and are subsequently forced to fantasize about that magnificent day when a random, white-collar gentleman will offer us $1000 to travel to Italy to locate and return his wayward, womanizing son. Matt Damon lucks out in the extreme in this story; he is literally paid to visit a fictional town in Italy to locate Jude Law and bring him home to America to fulfill his destiny as a shipping heir. Sadly, things get murder-y quickly when same sex tendencies and bitter jealousy arise amidst the gin and the jazz.Murder begets more murder in The Talented Mr. Ripley, a film that raises deeply philosophical questions that keep us up at night: Do the ends justify the means? Can anyone truly be a “bad” person? Is Matt Damon prettier than Gwyneth Paltrow? Decide for yourself as you experience the criminal misadventures of the talented, treacherous, and tormented Tom Ripley. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
