There are few shows in podcast history that are as dedicated to the 1980s as 80s all over. But in order to really dig into the decade, it's going to another couple of some ones to help lend a hand. Drew McQueenie, Scott Weinberg, Brian Sal's Barry and C. Robert Cargill are gonna run down all the sweet, sweet schlock in the kind of giant-sized crossover they stop doing during the Reagan era. Grip off the wrapper and pop the top with us. It's junk food cinema, all over. Hello and welcome back to another bonus episode of 80s all over. I am Scott Weinberg as always I am joined by my illustrious co-host. Drew McQueenie? And Drew and I are joined by two mutual friends this time. Two guys who have a very popular podcast but what I love is that Drew and I have been friends with these guys long before podcasts were even a gleam in the podcast daddy's eye. They didn't exist. Drew, why don't you introduce our friends first up for those of you who are a long time, long time, long time, because you'd have to be at this point, and it cool fans or and it cool readers or and it cool as survivors. Every one of put put it. You're gonna be delighted because this may be

the first ever recorded collision between myself and see Robert Cargo. Hi everybody. I don't think we've ever done this kind of a thing before. I don't think we've ever sat down and done this on tape. I don't think we have. I mean, the number of times we've been in the same place and hung out, but we've not actually ever been recorded together. So now the proof is in the pudding, we are not the same person.

Bigfoot is... times we've been in the same place and hung out, but we've not actually ever been recorded

together.

So now the proof is in the pudding, we are not the same person. Bigfoot is real. Wow. Two, uh, most of our listeners will know C. Robert Cargill from, uh, he co-wrote with the great Scott Derrickson. He wrote, uh, sinister. He wrote Dr. Strange. also a novelist who wrote Sea of Rust to well-regarded fantasy novels, the titles I can never remember.

And he has a horror anthology coming up this summer So it but my favorite statistic about C. Robert Cargill is that if you were to go into his house He owns the most pewter of anybody in Austin that might be close to true We are also joined today by your illustrious co-host and I want to get him in here for a moment because I want to hear him talk about dealing with all of this pewter. I have only heard of it, I have only heard rumor of it, I have never witnessed it. But Brian Salisbury, please tell me how you deal with this. Well, first of all, when you kept saying pewter, I thought you meant how he refers to his computer when he's had too much scotch.

Uh, hey, oh, hey, Brian, ease up. We're listed under film podcasts, not common. Oh boy, ain't that the case. Uh, no, I, I find it relatively easy to avoid all the pewter as long as, you know, So there are some days we come in a record and I think all it's all going to be relegated

to his office, but then there is an elaborate, giant battlefield set up on a table in the middle of his living room. And I have to admit, I get a little worried as to what is going to take place because it's either a game of war hammer or somebody's getting sacrificed to something. We asked Carl Gil and Brian to come up with some of their favorite topics related to the decade of which this podcast is dedicated, which is, I believe the 1940s. And Brian came up with the, I'll let Brian introduce. Let's turn it over to a special 80s all over report with Brian Saltsbury. Well, thank you, Scott. Yeah. The 80s happens to house possibly the weirdest and most wonderful subgenre of all time and that is the 80s post apocalyptic Knock-off film from Italy and I have to credit C. Robert Cargill for getting me into the genre by showing me 2019 after the fall of New York on a an old decrepit VHS tape one afternoon Michael Sopcue? Michael Sopcew, who I believe the mystery science theater guys referred to as a man who sounds like his name is spelled sideways. Yeah. I don't, and I can't argue with that. Yeah, when we did this, it was part of one of the greatest triple features I've ever shown. I had a whole room full of people who had not seen either of the uh... the death race movies so we started off with death race two thousand and then followed up with death race and then for those that stuck around at midnight which was like five people of which brine was one of them i pulled out after the fall of new york and and and just brine just staring at me and he's like, what the hell is this?

And I'm like, have you never seen an Italian knockoff film before? He goes, what's an Italian knockoff film? And it was like, I can only imagine Drew, you'd understand this. The moment you first see your child when he's born and that you see that look in his eyes, you go, I'm going to love this person for the rest of my life. that was the look brion had in his eyes

uh... when he discovered

the the italian knock film. And by the end of it, he was in such a elated joy that he then ran out the next day and started instantly watching every single Italian film he could find. And it was... It should be noted for the record that Cirovert Cargill is not a father, does not have children. Oh, but he's dead right on this. I get it. I get when you discover, I get when you discover a genre that you love and this encompasses one of my very favorite things, Brian. I cannot describe the joy I get when a movie begins and they have a date that the movie takes place and it was in the future when they made the film, but it is now an hour past. There is nothing that makes me happier than the year is 1993, the robots have taken control. I am in heaven when that happens. You know what I like about it is even broader than that, in both Cargill and Brian and Drew you could speak on this. It doesn't matter what the genre is, it could be musicals by Disney, it could be slasher movies. It could be post-apocalyptic knockoff movies,

but you find one or two movies that you love,

and then there's this thing in your brain

where there are six more of these out there.

I have to find them.

Oh my gosh, the completionism,

it's my only form of OCD.

If I know one movie exists in a franchise,

I have to see them all.

And this, I consider these all one franchise because in any given, first of all, the way that they're named, you could be convinced that two movies that are very different are the exact same movie because you have a movie like Warriors of the Wasteland. I didn't know, just to interject real quick, that was the first one I saw. Warriors of the Wasteland had this awesome Thorny M.I. clamshell and a red cover.

And it was badass, but I always then I ended up confusing Warriors of the Wasteland with Warriors of the Apocalypse and then World Goan Wild, which was American. And that's the thing is both Warriors of the Wasteland and Warrior of the Lost World feature Fred the Hammer Williamson, who I've said before, I'm pretty sure shot all 37 of these movies he was in while he was in Italy for two weeks on vacation.

He would actually do that.
