You might ask yourself how the same crap can happen to the same guy twice... if so, you and John McClane are pretty much on the same page. Welcome to the 90s and we start the year off with a bang... a really big cargo plane-sized bang.

Episode #278: "A dare to be great situation" | Say Anything (1989)

Welcome to our final entry for 1989... and our final 80s movie of the 30Something Movie Podcast! It's bittersweet ending to the decade we love so much, but in many ways this is the perfect movie to end it with. As we have moved from the teen movies of the 80s and are "graduating" to the 90s, this movie feels like an 80s teen movie that's "growing up."
John Cusack, Ione Skye and John Mahoney star in Say Anything.

Episode #271: "Time Circuits On" | Back to the Future Part II (1989)

Something's got to be done about this podcast! We don't become @$$holes or anything, but we do love a good Back to the Future / time travel / embrace the paradox discussion. And you'll get plenty of that when Bo, Patrick, and John start fluxing their capacitors and power-lacing their shoes. We might not need roads, but you're gonna want to buckle up.
