Good Times Great Movies

Comedy, Film Reviews, TV & Film

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

  1. 341: 21 Jump Street: Old Haunts in the New Age - S4, Ep6 (1989)

    Episode 341

    Show notes

    On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie wants nothing more than for this show to be about crime-fighting orphans adopted by the chief of police, Doug thinks that clairvoyance that gives information about only local high school arsonists and Presidential assassinations is a bit limiting, and we both are fascinated by the police headquarters being located in an abandoned church disguised as a repair show (which I'm sure we're wrong about). Join us as we dip into a show neither of us have ever seen before with, the six episode of the fourth season of 21 Jump Street: Old Haunts in the New Age!

    This Episode of 21 Jump Street was written by Glen Morgan, James Wong & Michelle Ashford. It was directed by Jefferson Kibbee and stars Susan Johnny Depp, Holly Robinson Peete, Peter DeLuise, Dustin Nguyen, Steven Williams, Sal Junco, Ian Abercrombie & Pamela Adlon.

Buy a wedding dress for your daughter's skeleton, beware of the quick sand pit in the middle of shop class, and join us as we wish that George Clooney hadn't walked out of this movie after the first 10 minutes while we watch, Return to Horror High!

    Show notes

    On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug decides to choose the definitive 'Worst Movie of the Podcast' by challenging Jamie to go through bad movies in a bracket format.
