Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

"Beverly Hills Cop" launched Eddie Murphy's international movie career and was the biggest box office hit of 1984, but is it overrated? No, dummy. This is the police comedy that brought us the banana in the tailpipe, the synth sounds of "Axel F," the lovable Judge Reinhold at Det. Rosewood and Bronson Pinchot's bizarre accent. Does Eddie Murphy's laugh get annoying? God yes. Do the action sequences make sense? Hell no. But "Beverly Hills Cop" gets our Shat Stamp of Approval. Find out why, and let us know what you think!

High School was a very different place for teenagers back in 1985. There were no cell phones, lockers were still in use, and there was this strange building on campus called the "Library" that housed books and delinquents on Saturdays. In this week's review, Rog, Big D, & Gene explore the hit film "The Breakfast Club". We explore whether or not the themes of teenage angst, High School stereotypes, and John Hughes-style diversity still hold up over 30 years later. The Shatty Trio also share stories of their own High School experience, predict where the characters are today, and tackle the question as to why a movie called "The Breakfast Club" only served lunch.

Give "Commando" some respect! Seriously! This Arnold Schwarzenegger action extravaganza paved the way for watch-based action shows like "24," spawned Arnold comedies like "Kindergarten Cop" and proved you can, in fact, have too much calypso music in a movie. This episode has something for everyone: Big D wows by using his military experience to backseat drive the world's worst Special Forces operatives. Roger busts out his world-famous Austrian accent, and Gene tells the tragic tale of Val Verde, a nation forgotten because it never existed. Relive Schwarzenegger's tactical mistakes, marvel at Dan Hedaya's awkward Spanish accent, swoon over the implied homosexuality, and cringe at the veiled pedophilia. It's all here on Shat The Movies. Sit back, press play, and LET OFF SOME STEAM.

Rocky IV punched its way into the heart of '80s kid by giving us an overload of all the things America loves: a dopy Sylvester Stallone, a terrifying-yet-misunderstood Dolph Lundgren, a sexy robot, Cold War speeches, Carl Weathers' mustache and training montages. Sure, the punches looked off, the scenes were largely recycled and A GUY DIED IN AN EXHIBITION FIGHT, but after 31 years we're still thrilled by this beefcake brawlapalooza that's tough as snails Leave a Review - http://shatthemovies.com/review Subscribe & Social Media - http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Website - http://shatthemovies.com Email - mailto:[email protected] Our TV Podcasts - https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite

The Last Starfighter brought us Rylans, the Kodan, Zando-Zans, Grig, Beta Units and whatever the hell Centauri was. It also delivered childhood dreams of video game supremacy that would carry us to the stars. But does all that make up for hammy acting, eye-melting CGI and an alien race who look like balding boobs? That's this week's debate, and Shat The Movies' three-man panel is split like never before. So load up your meteor cannon, strap into your gunstar and get ready to discover a whole lot more about Roger's sex life.

"Tombstone" packed in the stars: Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Dana Delaney, Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley, Steven Lang, Billy Bob Thornton and more. And it packed in the action with a relentless shoot-em-up pace. But did it pack as big a punch as we remember? From historical accuracy to production quality, let's cock the hammer on this 90's western and explore some hot topics, including: how many shells and double-barreled shotgun holds, when it's permissible to seek a new wife, how long after an assassination attempt you must wait to play billiards, and the difference between Doc Holliday and Doc Hollywood.

"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" tops nearly every list of favorite Christmas movies and holds a warm place in our hearts. But it isn't flawless. For every "shitter was full", there's an attic plank hitting Clark Griswold in the face. For every moment Chevy Chase shows his genius, there's a scene where he's forcing a laugh that never comes. If you're a huge fan of "Christmas Vacation" or a closet hater, this episode of Shat The Movies is for you. Happy holidays from Roger, Gene and Big D. We wish you the hap hap happiest Christmas of all.

This week Join Roger, Dick and their new friend Gene for a stroll down the Santa Carla beach boardwalk; as they review and rewind the 1987 classic The Lost Boys. Much like Tim Cappella playing his saxophone interpretation of "I Still Believe" they are each shirtless, muscular, oiled up, and ready to grind their hips for you the listeners. So let's all slide on our skin-tight purple pants, leather jackets, while we go find the nearest bridge to hang from... Because it's time to feed.

This week Dick & Roger turn Investigative journalists to blow the lid off the lies behind Paramount Pictures decade's long cover-up of the Zamundian royal family and their atrocities. The film's plot revolves around the discontented Prince Akeem, who is tired of his pampered life and concocts a plan to travel to America with his servant Semmi to find a bide of his choosing. While purporting to focus on the courtship the Prince to the American commoner Lisa McDowell, the film actually turned out to be nothing but pure propaganda. For over 28 years we have been methodically deceived into believing that King Jaffe Joffer was a benevolent ruler and loving father, but was he? How could a ruler who accessorize his wardrobe with the carcasses of exotic animals and proudly proclaims to have tied his own shoes once, called it "an overrated experience" be anything but ruthless? The King, in fact, rules the throne with unquestioned power and expects complete obedience even when choosing a bride for his son, who has been trained to mindlessly obey the princes every command. Whether his vast fortune was built from conflict diamonds, worker exploitation, or environmental degradation it's obvious the people of Zamunda are subject to unspeakable human suffering. So please join us on the sofa while we fire up the old VCS for a revealing expose on the corruption of wealth and power.

Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the Eighties, is accidentally sent back to his hometown of Hill Valley in 1955… Wait same town, wrong movie. A horde of miniature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls after a mild-mannered bank teller Billy unwittingly unleashes the destructive powers of his new exotic pet. His failure to follow his pet's three simple rules: No water (but beer is ok), no food after midnight, and no bright light lead to countless deaths and undoubtedly years of legal battles for the Peltzer family. So, when your washing machine blows up or your TV goes on the fritz, before you call the repairman, turn on all the lights and look under all the beds. 'Cause you never can tell, there just might be a gremlin in your house, or it just might be Billy Peltzer sabotaging your entire life.

When it comes to 1990's chick flicks, Julia Roberts is practically the living embodiment of the rom-com genre. From Steel Magnolias and Nottinghill to Runaway Bride, her body of work is almost universally loved by women, and tolerated by the men in their lives. Yet there is one film in the pantheon of Roberts' repertoire which all men do secretly love: Pretty Woman. So this week we dive into the 4$ bin and pull out the supposedly modern-day version of Cinderella. The story of a woman, Vivian (Julia Roberts) forced into the underground world of prostitution as a way to survive in Los Angeles. She becomes a week-long "companion" for an extremely wealthy businessman, Edward (Richard Gere). Sadly after spending a week in Beverly Hills luxury and living the life she'd always dreamed of.... she's forced to return to her sad existence and again sell her body for money. Ok... that's not how the movie ends, but we all know it should have.

We fired up the old VCR again this week for the classic Weird Science: The tale of two horny friends Gary and Wyatt who are tired of being social outcasts and not getting any action. With Wyatt's parents gone for the weekend, the two perverts try to create the world's first real doll. Using only Wyatt's computer, random photos from their wish boards and a Barbie doll the duo gives birth to their "perfect woman" with the limitless powers of a genie. Hilarity ensues including group showers, new interracial friendships, random bikers, dated sports cars, and a magical sucking chimney. So let's all kick back with a glass of scotch and remember the time when it was ok to use magic to get laid.
