Episode #163: "Teenage Wasteland" | Can't Buy Me Love (1987)

The 80s was full of movies showcasing the plight of the modern teenager... and John Hughes was the master. Unfortunately, John Hughes didn't make this one. What do you get when you cross a story about a boy wanting to be popular with good old-fashioned almost-prostitution? Can't Buy Me Love!

Episode #162: "Oh Baby" | Baby Boom (1987)

J.C. Wiatt can't have a baby because she's got a 12:30 lunch meeting. Or at least, that's what she thought before a relative died and left her with a toddler to raise in the midst of her busy corporate life. Baby Boom stars Diane Keaton, Harold Ramis, and Sam Shepard.

Episode #161: "All in the Family" | The Secret of My Success (1987)

We came to a startling realization that Michael J. Fox features in more than one role where a relative wants to give new meaning to the term "family get-together." Regardless, the secret of The Secret of My Success is that it's a fun, lighthearted take on big business in the 80s.

Episode #160: "Greed... is Good" | Wall Street (1987)

Gordon Gekko (which I always thought would be a great name for the Geico gecko) is a ruthless Wall Street player who makes multi-million dollar deals before most of us have had breakfast. Bud Fox is a young and restless stock broker looking to score a big client. When he finally gets his foot in the door of Gekko's office, it may have been more than he bargained for.

Episode #159: "Finger Lickin' Good" | Near Dark (1987)

Take the cast of ALIENS and put them in Oklahoma... and make them vampires. Then you've got Kathryn Bigelow's feature film directing debut: NEAR DARK.
(I wonder what Paul Reiser would've looked like as a vampire...)

It’s the epic love story for the ages: Girl meets boy. Girl marries boy. Girl is bored with husband and has affair with husband’s brother. Brother-in-law gets bored with the limits of earthly pleasure and pain and gets ripped apart and taken to another dimension.

Episode #157: "Party Like It's 1999" | Prince of Darkness (1987)

You see what I did there? It's called PRINCE of Darkness and the visions from the future take place in 1999, so it's like the song "1999 (Party Like It's 1999)" by Prince. Right? Shut up.
Anyway, apparently Jesus was an alien who started a secret society 2,000 years ago which became the Catholic Church and kept the secret that what we thought was God was really the Anti-god and is evil and his son (the Prince of Darkness) was contained within a canister of ectoplasm for 2,000 years. Now the Canister of Satan is ready to open and literally unleash Hell on earth.

Episode #156: "If It Bleeds..." | Predator (1987)

Arnold and his friends go on a tropical vacation and find that all is not what it seems in this light-hearted family-friendly romp through the jungle. It's PREDATOR! (Rated R for some slight non-family-friendly elements)

Episode #155: "Cannon Fodder" | Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

When the United States and North Korea threaten nuclear war... oops, sorry... jump back 30 years. When the United States and the Soviet Union threaten nuclear war, it takes a mind-wiped Lois Lane and some random school kid's letter for Superman to decide to rid the world of nuclear weapons. He gets more than he bargained for, however, when Lex Luthor returns to the scene and has engineered the perfect weapon of mass destruction: Golan-Globus... (Sorry... did it again...) Nuclear Man!
