This nostalgic baseball movie stars Kevin Costner as Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella, who hears a mysterious voice telling him to build a baseball diamond in his cornfields.

It's the podcast where a filmmaker and a comedian slowly trudge through the frozen hedge maze of the 80s movies we think we love or might have missed. Join improv comedian Krissy Lenz (The Neighborhood Comedy Theatre, The Cool Time Dice Hour), and filmmaker Nathan Blackwell (Voyage Trekkers, The Last Movie Ever Made), with guests Sean Oliver and Drew Leatham (Forever Home) as they discuss the zany 1984 sci-fi adventure comedy, Ice Pirates. for a suspenseful journey into the supernatural!
Let's revisit the 1984 sci-fi comedy Ice Pirates and appreciate its genuine comedic tone, rather than pure parody.
The characters are fun standouts, like the swashbuckling Killjoy and the surprisingly progressive female roles like Princess Karina. She's a strong leader who doesn't need a man to save her.
The plot is pretty convoluted, with unclear villain motivations and confusing time warps. But we can forgive that for imaginative sequences like the aging effects.
Our hosts rate this film between a 5-6 on their own, up to an 8 with friends. It's perfect for a lively group screening!Shout out to the impressive practical effects and robot designs, though the premise of a galaxy-wide water shortage is questionable science.
There are some dated elements that haven't aged well, like casual racism. But we've got to mention the unique high school stage adaptation - bringing the space battles to the stage was ambitious! In summary, Ice Pirates is a creatively bonkers film that shines at a midnight screening with snacks and friends.--

★ Not a ha-ha-ho-ho in sight as our hosts question Donner's directing decisions! Bah humbug!

Join improv comedian Krissy Lenz (The Neighborhood Comedy Theatre, The Cool Time Dice Hour), and filmmaker Nathan Blackwell (Voyage Trekkers, The Last Movie Ever Made), and special guest Megan Hughes Rini (The Last Movie Ever Made) take a magical journey back to Welton Academy circa 1959. It's a prep school where free-thinking and self-expression are about as welcome as jeans and boomboxes.
Set the scene: Robin Williams stars as an offbeat teacher who inspires his students to shred the rules like the pages of the Pritchett Scale for Poetry!
Dude, Williams kills it in this flick! He's all deep and serious, but then he drops some hilarious one-liners too. The whole movie is totally rad, man, talking about how to be yourself and not just follow the crowd. It's got some parts that are still relevant today, but some parts are totally stuck in the '50s. And let me tell you, that love story is totally bitchin'! The acting by everyone is totally gnarly, dude!
We give this film high ratings with 8.5 perfect books of poetry and higher! Righteous!
This coming-of-age story is most triumphant with excellent writing and performances. Catch ya on the flip side!

Get ready to saddle up for some wildly excellent 80s action with The Most Excellent 80s Movies podcast's tubular recap of Lethal Weapon!
Our radical hosts Krissy, Nathan, and special guest Andy Andy Nelson gnaw their way through this primo slice of buddy-cop nostalgia. It's 1987 and extreme odd couple, detectives Riggs and Murtaugh, are trading quips and bullets on the streets of LA.
The hosts serve up a bodacious summary of this classic flick starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as the mismatched cop duo.
Majorly Important Points:
They dish on how this flick totally created the formula for buddy cop flicks with its wacky partners. We dig it!Some stuff like Riggs' grief and the villains are now kinda bogus and don't hold up. Bummer!The action scenes are styling and they can roll with the occasional plot holes. Sweet!They analyze whether the wild Western-style ending fights really move the story. Hmmm.Other Triumphant Topics:
This movie screams the 1980s with its cliches, tropes, and references. Classic!The action is almost as extreme as director Michael Bay's future flicks. Ka-boom!Some bits about women and doctors are now super cringe. Not cool!Is this really a holiday classic or just set at Christmas? We're not sure, dudes.They rate this radical movie between 6 and 8 "buns" out of 10.In conclusion, this most excellent 80s flick is a pioneer of buddy cop films despite some heinous elements that don't age well.

You gotta check out this rad episode where Krissy and Nathan are reviewing the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action flick – The Running Man. It's totally tubular and will have you stoked!
They start with a brief lowdown of the 1987 dystopian film set in a totalitarian future where convicted criminals are forced to compete on a deadly game show called The Running Man. They compare it to other gnarly movies of the era like Robocop that deal with big ideas of capitalism, sensationalist media, and police states gone wild.
The duo gets down and dirty with the ridiculous premise and plot holes of The Running Man, asking how contestants normally win the game if they don't kill the stalkers. But hey, they still love Arnold's iconic one-liners and puns after defeating each gladiator ("Sub Zero? More like Plain Zero!"). That's totally bodacious!
Krissy and Nathan shoot the breeze about whether the film is still dope today and whether audiences would flip on the show as quickly as portrayed. They give mad props to Richard Dawson's over-the-top performance as the villainous game show host Killian and discuss the wacky tonal shifts between extreme violence and campy dance numbers.
Krissy and Nathan also cover other far-out topics such as comparisons to The Hunger Games franchise, questionable fashion choices and costumes, recurring images of spandex and 80s flair, the cheesiness of Arnold's "love story" romantic subplot, and the importance of an editor on the rebels' team. They debate the realism of the crowd turning so dramatically and appreciate the running time being padded out by extended dance sequences. Totally rad, right?
