Male call! Hi everybody, I'm Drew McQueenie and welcome to 80's All Over, one of our bonus episodes. Oh, wait a minute! Yes, you didn't... We should supposed to do like... Oh. Something horrible happened in the news today. But something could happen in the news too. And then something important happened in the news.

And then something trivial.

And we were there. But wait, this is not one of those episodes. This is a special bonus episode. Oh, I just woke up. You didn't tell me what are we doing. We're gonna read the mailbag today. We're gonna empty the whole damn thing. Okay, fair enough. I'm just kidding, I didn't just wake up.

So yeah, to those who are unsure of what this bonus episode is, that doesn't make any sense because you're only hearing it because you're a subscriber to our Patreon. And therefore, you already know that we have sent out a message that if you wanted to ask us a question about the show or the decade or movies or geek stuff in general that you can we got what about a dozen a couple more and

Drew organized them and now we're going to run through them and answer these questions and it's going to be so

Sintillating you're gonna double your your patreon

Donation I heard it was actually pronounced putrium. All right. There's a lot of silent letters in there

I understand that I'm not pronouncing it correctly, but I will always think it's patron. That's what I... Patron. Patron. Patreon. Oh god. I don't know. It's what happens when these companies come along and make up new words. I understand. I'm not trying to disrespect the company. When I see the word, my brain says a certain thing. Right. You see your tongue. And it's something different every time. There you go. So I am joined by my co-host, Drew McQueenie. Drew, who are you joined by? I've heard my co-host is here. Scott Weinberg. That's me. And we're here too, as if we haven't already explained it. Ace and Cues. We're going to A the hell out of them. You're going to get all up in those days. So let's start with this first one is from Celtic Ray Film Works. And it says, have you guys hit a film yet that is so soulcrushingly terrible that the thought of revisiting it turns your brain into jello pudding. Yeah, and we took this question as what have you covered so far that was painful and miserable? And I didn't run through the off the top of my head, I thought of a few things. The first thing was John Derek. The second thing was Biddle Mania. John Derek and Bidlemania for those who may have forgotten so far of John Derek's work we've covered fantasies and tarzan the eight man and we will soon get to even worse films and I read the hesitation there before work John Derek and his work Thank you for reviewing my comedy drew i have i have a couple others but what what is your answer well i got a bit when we were getting ready to do the incredible shrinking woman i was dreading it and i'll say this it's not as murderously awful as i remembered it's just not good uh... you just now you just laying down for that i credible shrinking woman fan base who just taught you on Twitter mercilessly. They're like, Galaxy glue, Galaxy. And you just now you're giving in. I, I, but the one that was worse than I remembered and I, I thought it was going to be bad going in. It was almost too much for me to make it through. It was the gong show movie. Yeah. That an anti film. It is barely by any legal definition of movie. Yeah, the show, if you were to tell me that the series is a, uh, to borrow a phrase I don't enjoy, I don't appreciate a guilty pleasure. The Gong show and you say you like that show, you know, it's dumb, but you like the show that I could see because it's a comedy show and it's a talent show and it's a combination of the two. The movie just feels like, oh, this is hot for a month. Let's make a movie about it and it's just garbage. I agree. What else you got? She's bizarre. Bizarre. Well, one of the things that I've noticed is that watching these films as we're going through this, it is fascinating to me because of how much nostalgia I have for things. And it's pretty easy. It turns out to destroy any memory you have of a movie by rewatching it 30 years later. And so it's interesting what is holding up, what isn't, what is worse than I remembered, you know, what is almost unwatchable. There is a lot of terrible comedy in the early 80s. And one of the things that I've noticed is there's the stuff that punches through the actual good comedy. It's pretty rare at this point. You listen else stuff. This is a long wind up for you to say neighbors, isn't it? That'll be the answer to the next question, but that's coming. But yeah, to me, it is shocking when we go back and we look at these things and you realize that yeah There are there are certainly movies that after this I will never ever watch again and I think heartbeeps and neighbors are now officially on that list. Oh, yeah And there's something something Darkly special about a film that you remember disliking and then you see it and you like it even less that that's hard Yeah, that's not common yet generally Generally, you know, you could be as an adult, maybe a bit more forgiving of bad films or then there's just stuff where you're like, well, this is bad on a grown-up level. This is not just hard beef. Good lord. I also jotted down the Finnish plot of Dr. Fumantju just because it's such an egregious waste of legitimate talent and in a similar vein, first family, which kind of touches on

what you said, just comedies that were glorified SNL skits stretched out. And that still happens today, obviously, but some of these semi-forgotten comedies that we've covered are just painful to behold. What else you got? Well, that's it for the ones that we've already covered. Okay. I do have one quick underheading, quick heading with all due apologies to Caddy Shack and seems like old times to good Chevy Chase films. In these two years that we've covered, he's also done O Heavenly Dog under the rainbow and modern problems. So those, you know feast your famine, Chevy Chase was because we love Caddy Shack and I believe we've expounded our affections profusely for it seems like old times. But Chevy Chase was not just hit or miss, he was hit or crater. Well, and it goes to the fact that I, and I, I believe this firmly, I don't think

Chevy knows the difference between a good script and a bad script. I really don't. I think there are some people when they read it, they just look to see their part. And they're like, yeah, I can do something with that. I can do something with that fine. But there are so many movies in Chevy's career where I don't understand how you You could read it on the page and think that's a film and I'm gonna be great in it.

Yeah, but I mean it's also a guy who was celebrated from SNL. He did a very popular farce with the National Lampoon guys. Then he did a Neil Simon comedy with Goldie Holland and Charles Gruden. And so like, there's to do modern problems just disappointing. Let's just.

Well, but foul play.

Like I was listening was because he was and here's a, there's a real thing that goes on with these SNL guys. Like obviously SNL has become one of the greatest talent pools of all time for film to poach from. And there's a lot of guys who make the jump and there's star vehicles that'll built for them. And you get stuff like Beverly Hills Ninja because nobody knows what to do with Chris Farley.

But with Chevy Chase, what made him so special

in the 70s was the notion that he was a really good looking, possibly even movie star, good looking guy, who also happened at that weird subversive thing going on. And that's what I think Hollywood was trying to figure out what to do with him. That's why foul play kind of worked was he got to play what would traditionally just be the cop movie. Yeah, but true.

It's a burden.

Every, every year, that's a really good point.

And I agree with you, but everything you just said about Chevy case could also be just

the set about Steve Martin.

And while Steve Martin certainly started in a handful of missteps, I mean, Steve Martin

never did a modern problems.

You know, the difference is what?
