Summary
No matter how many times they try to empty it, the '80s All Over mailbag never actually hit inbox zero. Pretty sure it never even got close. Maybe it was due to all the kibitzing and old-school-breakdancing going on in this episode, but then again—what good is efficiency in answers if you're robbed of the high-quality kibitizing Drew and Scott are known for. (The dancing? Not so much). Topics include the goodies found in movie novelizations, the filmmaker who had the best filmmaking streak in the '80s (it's not Spielberg!), and what '90s film was the film that actually closed the door on the '80s?

| 0:00.0 | Male call! Hey everybody it's Scott Weinberg and welcome to another patron episode of your fourth favorite podcast. It's 80s all over, starring me, it's Scott Weinberg and Drew McQueenie. Drew? Well since you're saying saying I'm going to have to dance now, hold on. |
| 0:26.0 | Oh, go, go. Freak it. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, if you could see that, that was amazing. Dude, how do your worm is, it gets better every time I see it. That's what it sounds like when I do the worm, I am doing it very wrong. Hey, man, what's going on? What are we doing for this bonus episode? Oh, should we keep it first? |
| 0:44.1 | All right, let's keep it. |
| 0:45.1 | How are your children? |

| 0:48.2 | They're here this week, let's keep it. |
| 0:45.0 | How are your children? |
| 0:47.2 | They're good. |
| 0:47.8 | They're here this week. |
| 0:48.6 | And they are desperate to appear on the website in some way. So if there's video content this week, and I think there will be, they'll probably run through the background and scream. Yeah, I never signed off on that video content. I just logged into Patreon one day and I was like, |
| 1:02.6 | oh, we're putting up video content now. |
| 1:04.1 | What can I, I could take you like, |
| 1:06.0 | I could do a video of my closet full of VHS and old, |
| 1:09.9 | because I just logged into Patreon one day and I was like, oh, we're putting up video content now. What can I, I could take you like, I could do a video of my closet full of VHS and old cassette tapes. |
| 1:10.5 | That would be amazing. |
| 1:12.0 | That would be amazing. |
| 1:13.0 | What is it that we are covering this week on this Patrons episode? |
| 1:17.4 | Well, it's time for another mailbag. |
| 1:19.2 | We haven't done one in a while and clearly from the response, the moment we brought it up |
| 1:22.9 | this morning, you guys want one. So, yeah, mailbag all over. I have someone on Twitter and then Drew has some from Patreon. Patreon. So we're gonna alternate. And so that way we spread the love to as many listeners as possible. Our friend, Brian Scuddle, SKUTLE, a long time listener, whether it has been how a particular movie landed with you upon revisiting it, or the logistics of the show, what has been the biggest surprise for you upon doing the show. Okay, what's been our biggest surprise, Drew, or your time hour, not our collectively? I think for me it was realizing that having seen something once, 37 years ago does not mean I've seen something. Really, this revisit has surprised me because so many of my set and stone sort of opinions have been challenged by what we've been watching. And I am realizing that it is very true that when you watch something and who you are when you watch it, 100% impacts what it is that you take away from it. Yeah, and you know, sometimes like for a movie like Flash Gordon or Popeye, your love for a film gets compounded through years and you get more in love with it as you see it through adult eyes. But more often than not, you are such a different person from 35 years ago that, you know, you think, |
| 2:46.1 | yeah, that was kind of funny and now I think it's tasteless. That's not you, um, virtue signaling or being any, you just, you have changed in your heart, in your person. You've, maybe you've seen things over years where you're like, oh, I used to think that joke about bullying was pretty damn funny, but now I've seen things in the last 10-3 decades and I'm not I don't think it's funny anymore. |
| 3:07.4 | Not offended. I just don't think it's funny. |
