  • Summary

  • We revisit movies from the days of our youth in the 1980s. We choose a theme, select films that we think are among the best and ask you to vote on which you think belongs in the time capsule for future generations. We watch each movie before debating which live up to our nostalgic memories or fail and are cast out on to the junk pile of forgettable flicks.

Episodes
  • Episode 12: Dystopian movies!
    Mar 24 2024

    Every generation dreams about the future and what advances will be made. In the 80s, we were wondering about the new millenium and whether we would have alien or robot overlords. Join us and our special guest, Doug Nagy, as we explore the roots of humanity's dystopian fascination, what they say about us and what some of our favourite films in this genre got right in their future predictions. Shortly after this was recorded, Doug was named Hamilton's Funniest Comic! We got little glimpses of his humour while also learning a lot about his favourite movies outside of 'Roadhouse'.

  • Episode 11: John Hughes teen movies!
    Jan 31 2024

    No writer and director spent more time mining adolescence in the 80s than the eternal teenager, John Hughes. Join us and our guest, Mary Kennedy, as we dig into his six teen films and explore what we feel has remained endearing and valuable and what has lost its lustre with the passage of time and growth (or maybe was problematic back then too but wasn't spoken). We try to cover it all before we decide which film belongs in the Cinema Time Capsule.
