There are a few decades in film history that have been as screwed nuts as the 1980s, but to really understand the decade and its movies, it's going to take a couple of someone's who were there for it the first time around. Drew McQueenie and Scott Weinberg are ready to review every major film of the decade, one month at a time. The look at what worked then, what endoers now, and how it felt to be there when it all went down. Turn back to calendar with us. It's the 80s all over. Well, it's plain to see you're giving me a cold shoulder. At one point in the month, 75% of the United States was buried in snow and on cold Sunday, temperatures around the country dropped to their lowest market over 100 years. The south posted some winds. In Arkansas, judge ruled against the mandatory teaching of creation while in Henderson,ville, Tennessee, the city dedicated to Johnny Cash Parkway. Ozzy Osborne bit the head off a bat on stage in Des Moines, Iowa, and Richard Screnta wrote the first PC virus code, a mere 400 lines long ushering in a whole new way to screw up the world. Is it any wonder that we took refuge in theaters with the films of January 1982? Hi everybody, I'm Drew McQueenie and welcome to 80's all over. As always, I am joined by my esteemed co-host, Scott Weinberg. What's up, Scott? All aboard! What? Ha ha ha ha ha! I, I, I, I. Now, that's one of those cultural memories that, man, I will probably live to be a hundred. And if somebody asks me about Ozzy Osborne, that will be the first thing I think of. Even as a kid I remember thinking like oh I get it you know the thing about a rock singer especially this kind of rock star is that you know you want to be memorable and audacious and crazy I'm gonna get up on stage everyone's gonna think I'm awesome I'm gonna make out with a pig. What are you doing? Get that fat out of your mouth. So let's just move on to the films of January 1982. Thank you for joining us on a new year here on the Ease All Over. This is the year that I think a lot of people have been itching for us to get to. I'm really excited because it definitely feels like this is now where the 80s start to

establish themselves. One of the things we've been wrestling with is that first two years, it's still kind of the end of the 70s and you're seeing a lot of trends from that play out. And I feel like 82 begins to react to the 80s and the change and everything. And this is definitely, it's exciting. Quick housekeeping as far as we pull the boner, I don't think We have anything that we have to do.

So please consider that. Drew, is it true that January 1982 is one of them there? Horror movie heavy months? It really is. As we go ahead and we launch into the movies, we are going to kick things off in a way that I have come to really enjoy the Scott Weinberg Big Asass horror movie roundup. Scott, January was not fucking around, please. We open with Mad Man. They were parked in the woods on a summer night. They had been warned not to come here. No one is safe in this place at night. God save, why don't they run when they can still get away?

It's almost too late.

There's something moving toward them.

And the nightmare is beginning.

You know, I'll say this for Madman, somebody meant it.

If you want to know how quickly it went from, oh look, right at the 13th, a new but very

simple idea to people churning out copies, the answer is Madman.

It kind of feels like this is the first one where a fan said, I can do that, because the burning feels like it's filmmakers and they're looking at a trend and saying, okay, we'll do this or whatever. Madman feels like a fan made it. It feels like somebody who saw Friday the 13th went, holy shit I know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life now

I'm gonna go into the woods and kill teenagers and it's energetic and it ladles on the gore with both hands And it's goofy as shit from frame one that's the adjective I was looking for the movie opens with like an endless song Wild nerd just like And then the thump of madman more. He's just like They really blade along the idea that there's a mythology here if you say his name 17 times and you're walking backwards And you have any we wearing blue jeans and your shoes are blue He will come back to life and murder you and of course they not only say his name three times, but purr fucking rock through his window.

Well, I don't know why. It's just why. Yo fat boy, get up. What is the point of that? Even if he's dead, you could still just be respectful. If you could hurt anything. Right? It's gonna be a joke. Did you like the hot tub scene in this film? Honestly, my feeling about Madman is, while you're watching it, it's like you're sitting

next to the filmmaker and every time something happens, he jabs you in the hot tub scene in this film? Honestly, my feeling about Mad Man is, while you're watching it,

it's like you're sitting next to the filmmaker, and every time something happens, he jabs you in the ribs with his elbow, and he goes, see what I did? And you're like, yeah, I do, I see what you did, you're nuts. It's really what else I would say to that director. Why does your cast just for winter? Yeah. Alright, it does have some fairly decent moments.

It has a couple of like scares.

And I guess that if you were a horror,
