We did it all for the glory of love. Ladies and gentlemen, let's
go back thirty years to when I fell in love with going to the
movies. The mid-80s informed a lot of my taste, and much like
last year's 1985 retrospective, it's always a blast to go back and
see what holds up and what we each consider to be personal
favorites from a particular year. RogerEbert.com's very own Erik
Childress and Collin Souter return for what is to become a yearly
tradition. We go through the entire year chronologically covering
titles that range from BLUE VELVET to PLATOON and everything in
between (ALIENS, PRETTY IN PINK and so much more). Yes, some
big titles come up, but have no fear, we talk SOLARBABIES and SOUL
MAN. Some debates come up, but for the most part, it's a
friendly 3-hour conversation between 3 die-hard movie fans that
enjoy sharing memories, insights and reviews. We hope you
each the conversation, and yes, we did feel the need for
speed. You can follow the list from 1986 that we cover
here:

This next week you will be treated to a barrage of episodes. Well,
okay two more director episodes will be coming your way. They may
be on the short side, but get ready for a director I wasn't
familiar with that truly blew me away - Agnes Varda, featuring
guest Kate Blair. And Nick Digilio of WGN Radio returns to
talk about the post-GOODFELLAS career of Martin Scorsese.
July is a hot podcasting month, and just as a heads up, I might
take another vacation in September. But have no fear, visit
NowPlayingNetwork.net for a
plethora of podcasts that I know you'll enjoy including the newly
released Tracks of the Damned
and Fresh Perspective!
