  • THIS PODCAST IS SO FREAKING HILARIOUS

    So delightful! Javi Grillo-Marxuach and Paul Alvarado-Dykstra take us through a rewatching of the hits of a summer of the 80s, experiencing the great, the good, and even some of the really bad movies of our childhood. Hilarious recaps, fascinating esoterica, and really great insights are all part of the journey.

    What a great way to relive or (re)discover some or all of the films of that summer! It’s always at the top of my podcast feed!

  • 1982 is the greatest year for movies!

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1989 was great, 1999 was cool, but 1982 is hands-down the best movie year for any fan of genre films and I’m so excited someone is finally doing a deep dive on the best summer ever!

    I’m three episodes in and I’m hooked.

The Soldier: Summer of '82
Q: If you had the magic wand of the movie gods to say, I'm going to give this film just a dollop more money and a smidgen more time, and I could get one more shot, one more set up shot scene to add at any point in the film, is there something you would wish for?
I would literally just have the orange-haired guy take his shotgun out, kill the soldier, and then Moscow gets nuked.
