On this Episode Tom and Bert discuss 2 more Classic Movies of the 1980's, "Back to the Future" and "Trading Places".
We cover the behind the scenes happenings and how the decisions impacted the films as they were being cast and produced.
"BTTF" (1:10) a 1985 Film starring Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson was a Fantasy/Comedy/Drama that burst onto the scene and captivated audiences, young and old, with the concept of reliving your past by travelling "back" to the future and attempting to change the course of events in one's lives.
"Trading Places" (26:20) a 1983 Film starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis was a Comedy/Drama that was Eddie's breakout movie. Known for his Stand Up Comedy routines, his Cable TV Specials and his starring role on the improv TV Show NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) he was taking his career in another direction.
Along with his fellow SNL Alum, Dan Akroyd, they and other castmates acted out the story as old as time, Poor man taken off the streets and put into the Hoi Polloi's High Society and countering that with taking the Spoiled Rich Kid from his Regal Throne to the streets to see what the outcome would be on their lives and if a change of fortune would enhance their lives and make them feel more appreciative.

On this episode Tom and Bert cover Movies - "Alien" and Lethal Weapon" with little known facts about the Production, Filming and behind the scenes drama.
"in Space no one can hear you Scream"! This was the famous tagline for "Alien" a 1979 SciFi/Horror/Thriller that brought back memories of the SciFi Classics of the 1950's with their taut, pulsating, suspenseful Storylines.
Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skeritt and John Hurt, "Alien" was a rousing success and moviegoers were horrified by the infamous and iconic "Chest Burster" scene (13:31) with John Hurt having a tad bit of indigestion to say the least.
"Lethal Weapon" (37:16) a 1987 Film is our 2nd movie to review and discuss. "LW" was a comedy/Drama using the tried and true format of the "buddy movie" starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the lead roles playing cops with their own personal demons while fighting off the bad guys.
At a crossroads Riggs (Gibson) and Murtaugh (Glover) had some crazy shit going down. Riggs was suicidal while Murtaugh was ready to retire and was getting to old for this shit as he bluntly puts it. Anyway, fireworks ensue as the boys go about their daily lives fighting off the criminals.

On this episode Tom and Bert cover Movies that were originally expected to fail but came to be Mega Hits and Blockbusters as time went on.
Some of these Movies made money early on but over time became absolute powerhouses with the advent of the VHS and DVD releases and sales at retailers like Blockbuster Video and Suncoast Motion Pictures.
Classics like "Back to the Future", "Jaws", "Titanic", "Star Wars" and "Shawshank Redemption" were among the biggest hits of all time, and to think the studios were concerned that these and other Hits may have been failures just shows that you never know what is in store for Movie projects that are put forth to the general public.
Sometimes you just got to be lucky!

On this episode, Part 2, Tom and Bert discuss the hidden gems of the music business known as "1 Hit Wonders".
Growing up in the 1960's and 1970's we were treated with so many great songs where the Bands or Artists' success was tied to a song that brought them notoriety and Singles (45's) Chart fame.
As the boys go through the lists you will surely recognize some "Oldies" like "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum, "San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie, "Woodstock" by Matthews Southern Comfort and "Hey Baby" by Bruce Channel to name a few.
HUGE Pop Culture/mainstream Monster hits like "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba, "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia, "Take on Me" by Aha and "Whomp, There it Is" by Tag Team are also discussed.
And there are others where you might say, "Hmm, never herd that one before"! These songs span the decades and were all influential in their own way to many a music fan.
Enjoy the show and Thanks for listening.
