Yet another movie podcast…but this one is the best. (of course!) We come up with brilliant movie questions and interview film buffs. Check us out!
One of the most beloved romantic comedies of the 1980s (or any era) about a quirky kickboxer (John Cusack) and his pursuit of his longtime crush (Ione Skye). Co-starring John Mahoney and Lili Taylor. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe.
Two goofy lifelong friends decide to go on a road trip to attend their high school reunion in this very funny 1980s-themed buddy comedy. Starring Mira Sorvino, Lisa Kudrow, Janeane Garofalo and Alan Cumming.
The epitome of a cult classic about a ragtag group of car repossessors, set to the soundtrack of the early 80s Los Angeles punk music scene. Starring Emilio Estevez, Harry Dean Stanton, Tracey Walter, Sy Richardson, Olivia Barash, and Fox Harris.
We've covered the fun facts about this classic film in the previous episode. For this episode, we hearken back to the original format of DGMM where we interview many past guests about their experiences with The Wizard of Oz.
Congrats to us for hitting 300 episodes! To celebrate, we cover all the terrific facts for what is often considered the greatest film of all-time. Starring Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr.
One of the greatest boxing films in history, along with being one of the upper echelon films in the storied legacy of both Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese covering the troubled life of boxer Jake LaMotta. Co-starring Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty.
A wild and raunchy comedy starring Robert Wuhl as the leader of a drag-racing club looking to have one more night of debaucherous fun before their hangout is torn down. (Think American Graffiti meets Porky's!) Co-starring Fran Drescher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tony Danza, and Stuart Pankin.
A soap opera-type drama starring William Holden as a once popular football player, now a lowly drifter looking to start over. However, his troubled past catches up with him again in a tiny Kansas town. Co-starring Kim Novak, Rosalind Russell and Cliff Robertson.
The military police led by Sean Connery partners up (begrudgingly!) with a San Francisco detective (Mark Harmon) to find the killer of a military police officer. Co-starring Meg Ryan and Jack Warden.
