Episode 25

Episode 25: Dolly, Daggers and Two Dabneys

We've hit the quarter century mark with two early 80's classics, Cloak & Dagger and 9 to 5. From espionage to corporate politics, these movies make you laugh and cry but also bring up important issues from grief to sexism. 

Episode 24

Ep 24: Dear Mr. Hughes

We respect that you made many great movies in the 80s that we love to talk about. But we figured a discussion about a forgotten birthday, a Saturday detention and a juvenile delinquent cutting school would make the grade. In the simplest terms, we are movie fans who love Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Does that answer your question? 

Sincerely yours, Fighting Over The VCR.

Episode 23 - Show Me The Funny - Blades of Glory and Jerry Maguire

Listen to us live up to the name of the show. This episode is game on.
