A Nostalgic Look Back at the Action-Packed '80s Cinema - Episode 45

The Dumb Cool Weird Podcast

Blast from the past with a funky twist—our latest chatter is all about the golden era of '80s action movies, the time when explosions were big, and the heroes' muscles were bigger. We kick things off with a laugh, reminiscing about Arnold Schwarzenegger's infinite ammo in "Commando" and the iconic triple treat from "Total Recall." It's a riotous rewind to the days when one-liners were as essential as a good chase scene, and we can't help but smirk at the cheesy goodness that saturated the silver screen.
We don't just stop at Arnold's antics, though. Our nostalgic stroll takes us through the streets of "First Blood," dives into the explosive Nakatomi Plaza of "Die Hard," and even glances at the noir shadow of "Batman" (1989). We give props to the synth beats that scored our favorite face-offs and take a moment to appreciate how Eddie Murphy went from "Beverly Hills Cop" to Family films. It's a celebration of the sights, sounds, and stunts that made '80s action flicks the unforgettable thrill rides we still can't get enough of.
As we pack up our boombox, we tease the future of our Movie Monday series—your ticket to the wonderfully awful movies of yesteryear. Whether you're in Atlanta or tuning in from afar, prepare for a dose of hilarity as we promise to unearth and share every corny plot twist and every ridiculous creature feature from the 20th century's treasure trove. Stay sexy, listeners, and get ready for more laughs, memories, and all the '80s action your heart can handle. Wes and Nick have their hands full.
