I want 90s movies now !!! And 00s later !!!!
80s movies... Teen Witch, Breakfast Club, 16 candles, Goonies, Weird Science, Ferris Buller's day off, Dirty Dancing, The never-ending story, Princess Bride, Twins. omg so many great movies.
I'm gonna go niche. Howard the Duck, Trancers, Big Trouble in Little China
Real Genius is one of my all-time favorite movies! Another one is the classic Ladyhawke.
Real Genius is one of the movies that SHAPED my sense of humor. Watching it is... a moral imperative.
Jayse and Beba asking about Newsies! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! Just keep hounding Kevin about it, guys! Maybe one day....
Comedy Tom Hanks 'Bachelor Party'. "Let's have a bachelor party with chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze!" Obscure Eddie Murphy 'The Golden Child'. "I want the knife. Please." Underrated Buddy Cops 'Running Scared'. "Deceleration trauma. Cement poisoning." Fall of the Iron Curtain foreshadowing 'White Nights' 'Blade Runner' wins.
nobody talked about The Last Unicorn, and I feel like not a lot of people do, and that's a crime

Yeah that would have been one of mine. Lol
I miss video stores, man. So much nostalgia walking up and down the aisles looking at all the covers.
Val Kilmer in Real Genius is great. Great pick Joe.
Joe knows what’s up!!! The last crusade is hands down the best Indy movie
I can’t believe nobody mentioned Willow especially when talking about Kilmer. One of my 80’s favs…so so funny
@CrayzMark

Yeah, for real. Jayse did mention Willow in his quick fire list near the end, however.
I thoroughly empathize with Jayce, there is no way I would be able to narrow my list down to 3! The longer I think about it, the more movies get added on!
Killer Klowns from Outer Space!!!!! Man it frightened me so much as a child. Need to have an entire episode dedicated to 80’s Horror! And not just the mainstream ones either but some of the niche ones like Killer Klowns.
I love Return to Oz! So glad it was mentioned it's so underrated
Eddie and the Cruisers!! The Land Before Time! Weekend At Bernie’s! Willow! Short Circuit! The Shining! The Brave Little Toaster! So many great movies!
@trevorsim5321

Eddie and the Cruisers was so good, great pick 👍🏻😊
My favorite movie of all time is The Outsiders! Then like Jayse my other picks would be Heathers, Some kind of Wonderful, Dream a little dream, Pretty in pink, but I also loved Cobra and Predator,Die Hard,The Burbs and The lost boys The 80’s were the best ever.
I was born in 71 and there are SO MANY movies that I could name here that didn't get mentioned and that have a special place in my heart... movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The 'Burbs, Re-Animator, Summer School, The Money Pit, Bachelor Party, Planes Trains & Automobiles, Pretty in Pink, Weekend at Bernie's, The Gate, The Keep, Night of the Creeps, The Blob, Hellraiser, Legend, Lifeforce, Videodrome, House 1+2, Night of the Living Dead (Remake), The Last Starfighter, Buckaroo Banzai, Explorers, Escape from New York, The Fog and so many more.
Do this for the 70's and 90's. There are so many good and wild movies worth talking about.
Hoosiers, The Karate Kid and The Last Starfighter which is severely underrated are my 3 favourite 80's Movies. 😊❤️
All of the Indiana Jones and anything by John Hughes! But also a super weird one, thought of this one after remembering Big Trouble in Little China…Howard the Duck 😂and also War Games!
As a person born in 74, I kind of understand what Joe means. The first movie I definitely remember seeing in the theater was Return of the Jedi in 1983 when I was 8 years old.

My first movie in theater at 10 years old!! :)
This was a fun episode Beba was SAVAGE in this one Sabrina was gorgeous and extra points for liking Horror Extra extra points for Beetlejuice Jayse and Joe were always cool Thanks for the laughs
I posted something a week or so ago about the range of reactors you have at the moment and this is a prime example of my meaning. In a podcast about 80's movies you don't have a single GenX reactor, who actually llived through it at an age to really experience these movies. So my question is, what gives? I know we're sometimes refered to as the Forgotten Generation but you used to have quite a few older reactors. Either way, I really enjoyed the discussion and would like to recommend some films that weren't mentioned... Stripes, Ladyhawke, Blade Runner, Amadeus, Full Metal Jacket, The Blues Brothers, The Elephant Man, Repo Man, Brazil and Police Academy.
Back to The Future franchise is my all time favorite movies so it's Back to The Future the first one

Right even tho the third one came out in 1990 it was filmed after the second one!
@SeanSebastianBeauge

For me, it's the second
a 1980's movie that everyone forgets about and is on my top list is "The Man With the One Red Shoe" Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Jim Belushi, Lori Singer to name just a few of the actors in this great comedy movie...and if that catches your attention you can then go to "Bachelor Party"...again with Tom Hanks in the lead
E.T. released in theaters June 11, 1982.
Ok Jayce makes so much sense to me now. That’s my dude. But everyone’s stock has gone way up. Beetlejuice is one of my all time favs, mannequin is peak 80’s, The Last Dragon?! Let’s Go!!
THE best ReactCast so far.
7:13 ngl this makes so much sense on how cultured jayce is 😭😭
The Last Starfighter is my niche pick
I love 80's thrasher movies. Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, etc.

Heathers is one of my 80s peak
I'm with Jayse on this. Name my #1 singular top of the pile favorite 80s movie? Don't make me choose. Between Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Space Balls, Stand By Me, Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, Labyrinth, Lost Boys, Willow, Highlander, Neverending Story, The Last Unicorn, Footloose, The Karate Kid, Trains, Plains, and Automobiles, They Live, Police Academy....
America Ninja, The Golden Child, The Karate Kid, No Retreat No Surrender

The Golden Child 👏👏👏
This has got to be one of my favorite episodes ever!! I am an 84 baby and this was just such a walk down memory lane. So fun to watch, Sabrina you killed it 🙌 and Jayce I’m still getting used to your short hair 😂😂
Princess Bride, Labyrinth, Dirty Dancing, War Games!!!
Top Secret! - UHF - Cloak and Dagger
This may my favorite of their podcast thus far, and I liked pretty much all of them. But this one was right up my alley, and I'm much older than all of them, so I was always in the movie theaters and drive-ins in the 80's. I absolutely loved the 80's...movies, music, vibe, fashion. I loved the last dragon as well, saw it in theaters. I knew all the lines in that movie!! I also loved almost all of Molly Ringwald's movies, like: The breakfast club, 16 candles, Pretty in pink, and more! Also, The Lost boys, Weird Science, ET, Ghostbusters franchise, Beverly Hills cop franchise, St. Elmore's fire, About last night, movies were just better then.
Karate Kid, Goonies, Krull, Over The Top, Ghost Busters, Back to The Future
Pumpkinhead, The Thing, Killer Klowns of Outer Space, Neverending Story, E.T., Labyrinth, Adventures of Babysitting, Mannequin, Heathers, etc. I could go on forever honestly with every genre. Best era by far
Empire Strikes Back, Batman, The Natural...too many to name, but I always get nostalgic when The Goonies are on.
My Favs are Robocop Legend ( Tom Cruise ) The Thing Big Trouble in Little China The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Time Bandits Transformers The Movie The Last Starfighter Batman Better Off Dead Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure This is just a small list that sticks out to me.

Buckaroo Banzai Rocky Risky Business Cocktail Footloose. Any film with a Tangerine Dream soundtrack, GTA and Stranger Things bringing back the 80s icons.
Jayse has peak taste in movies. They all shied away from epic war movies but, Born on the Fourth of July and Full Metal Jacket deserve a shout out.
The Last Dragon was the life then finding Treasure...Goonie for life!
Strange Brew, Airplane!, Blues Brothers, Weird Science, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Glory, Lean on Me, Clue, Witness and Commando were not mentioned in this video

“What a bunch of Hosers, eh?!?” 😂
The Outsiders?! Amazing book and movie, except I usually don't watch the end when it's on. Way too sad.
I love how much Jayse was an overachiever with making such a long list! Honestly, I would done the same thing!
Real Genius was awesome but I have to go along with you Jayse. The Last Dragon ... Sho Nuff! 6:39 Sorry brother but the line is, "Who is the master"
The guys nailed it on the first movies. Both are great choices. Ladies, I'm questioning your involvement in an 80s movie podcast not knowing those two. Especially not knowing Val Kilmer. 7:50
Tom Hanks was actually 31 years old when he made BIG. He had that "young look" throughout the start of his career.
Im Joe & Jayce right now lol 3-12 yrs of ages , I cant choose 1 i have Goonies , Neverending Story & Lost Boys ,Wierd Science & Real Genius
I’m surprised no one brought up Hellraiser, Critters, Ghoulies, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Revenge of the Nerds, and real niche Porky’s and Meatballs.
I would have had a long list like jayce too. Also I'm with you Jayce the last dragon is a great movie
Soundtrack movies...Top Gun, Footloose, The Breakfast Club, Dirty Dancing, Beverly Hills Cop
the first movie I ever went to see in theaters by myself was Willow, I was 8. The movie I rented over and over the most was Gremlins, and I went as Beetlejuice twice as a Halloween costume, and I wrote a letter to Michael Keeton when I was 10.
Gremlins needed more love shown on the podcast than it was. It was one of the main reasons we have the movie rating PG-13.
Joe and Jayce love you guys. You mention movies that were some of my favorites as I was growing up like Last Dragon and Val Kilmer in Real Genius. I have been taking care of kids for 29 years and every time I mention movies I love they look at me like I'm the weirdest person in the room. So thank you because many times I watch your videos and you mention certain movies and other stuff and the other members have no clue what you talking about I get it everytime
Real Genius is a hilarious and funny movie. Tom Hanks was in his early 30’s in Big. Some of my favorite 80’s movies are Platoon, born on the 4th of July, the Outsiders, Solar Babies, Dead Poets Society, the lost boys, the goonies, weird science, ghostbusters, stand by me, and bill and Ted’s excellent adventure, Young Guns.
I am so so sad not one person mentioned Clue.

“So much… it it… the it… flame flames, flames on the side of… my face… breathing… breath” 😂
What i learned from this video? Sabrina is a huge horror fan. Also - she may knows a lot about 80's music, but very little about 80's movies. Though we should consider the fact she was born in the late 90's.
The drive in from the movie The Outsiders was where I always went to when I was a kid. Saw Jurassic Park there.
"Real Genius" was great! I saw it in the theatre around my 10th birthday. I introduced it to my (now) wife years ago. It still gets quoted around the house. "Return to Oz" was another in the theatre experience for me. Loved it. Not the weirdest Oz movie I've seen.
I always like Jayce but now I love him for picking The Last Dragon!
The Princess Bride is just not the greatest movie of the 80's but it's the greatest movie of all time. I quote that movie way too much and yet, I don't have enough prompts in the day to quote it more.
Summer School, Stripes, Footloose, Sixteen Candles
I am with you Jow Real Genius is a pretty darn good movie! "Kent have you been playing with yourself?"
Sabrina does not disappointment me with being a horror fan. In that regard, I feel I would get along well with her. Very solid list!
I'm proud to say I've been to a drive-in movie theater! It was one the last times I visited my aunt and uncle when they lived in Bakersfield. I was about 12-years-old at the time. It was a double-feature of Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. We laid down in the back of my uncle's pick-up, and as a result, I eventually fell asleep. It's a fond memory I'll never forget.
Omg, just made it to the end and 100% agree with Sabrina about Psycho II. It’s so good!!!!
Real Genius is literally the first movie I purchased on Prime. "if I wear it anywhere else, I'd chafe" lol Totally classic 80s sound tract! Last Dragon..Mr. Nuff; BIG, yes! Beatle juice, beetle juice beetle juice...Day oh...daylight come and we want go home... yes! My dad took me to see the exorcist when I was 12. I'm probably have nightmares tonight! lol Breakfast Club sound tract. A princess, a nerd, a jock, a weido and a criminal!!! Any John Houston movie! Yes Ghostbusters..."he slimed me" Ferris Buller's Day off!
I, like Joe, got Spaceballs so quick! I flippin' love _anything_ that breaks the fourth wall! I can't tell you how many times I watched it growing up!
I’m so old, I watched Last Dragon at the drive-in.
The Princess Bride is one of my favs.
I would love to see you guys talk about 80s and 90s sitcoms

Yes!! That would be great!
I had to look up Joe and Jayse’s ages cause their takes were so similar to mine… all of us were born over an 8 month span. I found my people, lol!!!
Princess Bride! The Neverending Story! The Boy Who Could Fly! Honey I Shrunk the Kids!
It is INCONCEIVABLE to me that “The Princess Bride” was only mentioned in passing…. Thank You Jayse! It is my very favorite movie of all time ❤
For me: “The Thing” and “Aliens”
The Neverending Story, Flight of the Navigator, Legend, The Wizard
man hard to pick one, maybe the The Survivors with Robin Williams or Weekend with Bernies
Here is a suggestion for a topic... How about, how would you build out a triple feature? Not necessarily sticking with 80's movies, although that would be a difficulty setting. One rule to keep in mind, no trilogies or related movies in the mix. You can't put Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 in. For example... If you are doing a triple feature of spoof movies - 1)Airplane, 2) Top Secret (Val Kilmer's first movie) 3) Hot Shots Part Deux. Sword and Sorcery movies - 1) Sword and the Sorceror, 2) Beastmaster 3) Conan the Destroyer 80's Sci Fi - 1) Aliens 2) Terminator 2 3) The Abyss Try it with buddy cop movies, 80's coming of age movies, westerns, war movies, etc.
Great episode! Mannequin 2 is one of my all time faves! The song at the end is iconic. Love hearing it every time they play it on our local radio station here in the Bay. Also, they still have some drive-in movie theaters up here called Westwind.
Monster squad for the iconic line “Wolfman’s got nards!”
1) Christine 2) Taps 3) Trading Places
I enjoyed this topic, and this episode has made me a fan. 😊🎉
So fun!!! As a child of the 80s this was great - perfect crew to discuss (Joe gets special recognition) - got to share two of my 80s movies- Rambo First Blood & Purple Rain ; Tom Hanks was 32 when Big was released
I was a teen (a young one) in the 80tys.late 80tys early 90tys.
for me it's The Cook the Thief His Wife and Her Lover starring Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon
Empire Strikes back came out in 1980 and made more than Last Crusade.
I'm a 86 baby. I say The Lost Boys, Gremlins, The Burbs, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Shining, The Goonies, Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters 1&2, National Lampoon's Vacation and National Lampoon's European Vacation, Die Hard movies, Lethal Weapon movies, .. Oh i watched Return of Oz as a little kid and i see why love horror and paranormal I guess LOL. Oh girl I loved Mannequin as a little girl. I'm not a fan of Bettlejuice. I saw Dances with Wolves, The Last of the mohicans, legends of the falls, river runs through it when i was very little because of my grandma and my great grandpa's girlfriend. I will always love those movies. I have a drive in near me and love taking my kids there. I love taking my kids to the cinema near us too. We have been going almost every weekend this year we loved Abigail- if you love horror, comedy, ... you should see it. I want my kids to one day say I went to a drive in and a movie theater a lot when i was a kid.
Ah, Jayse, fellow '83 baby! Now I'm just wondering which month!
No princess bride?
Why am I not surprised that Beetlejuice is one of Sabrina's personal favorites? Also Return to Oz is a great niche choice, and I relate to her reasoning. The horror elements in it, as well as certain other movies and TV shows I grew up on, helped me get into horror, too.
Big Trouble in Little China, Tremors, Hudson Hawk, Long Kiss Goodnight
Sabrina woke up and chose violins. 25:33
Splash, Dead Poets Society, Legend, Weird Science, Revenge of the Nerds Weekend at Bernies.
love this episode... i'm only 20min into the video but i've seen 95% of these movies... I'm close to Joe's age and this brought back a lot of memories! Great episode y'all!
