In this short bonus episode, Zack gives some bad news... Videoblivious has to hit the "pause button" for a while, and he explains why. It's all good things, we promise!

The podcast will be back for a new season later this year (hopefully late Summer or early Fall), and if you want to be a part of it, we'd love to have you as a guest. Find "the list" right here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FJTzAbgP_lzP2vNX27P4Ix5l3T_GY0eX1XVffznkpb8/edit?usp=sharing

And feel free to email Zack: zbennett@gmail.com

We'll be back later in 2024 with more Videoblivious!

UPDATED FILE, NOW WITH THE FULL EPISODE! Oops. Sorry about that...

The iconic 1980 slasher flick, Friday the 13th, is the subject of this episode. Zack and his childhood friend, Ryan Smith, discuss the movie that spawned 11 sequels and continues to inspire the horror genre today. Listen as they discuss the mundane lives of teenage camp counselors who get picked off by a crazed killer one-by-one by the killer, who... well, the killer isn't who you think it is, when you think about Friday the 13th. They also discuss the cast, who (with one exception) seemed to have their acting careers peak with this film.

Oh, and for some reason, they divert onto a lengthy Ghostbusters tangent, too.

Sixteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) must navigate an elaborate labyrinth to save her baby brother from the evil Goblin King, Jareth (David Bowie), but along the way, she is helped & hindered by a bunch of Muppets... well, not THE Muppets, but similar puppeteered creatures from the workshop of Jim Henson. It's 1986's box office bomb Labyrinth, which despite its poor performance upon release, has become a cult favorite in the years since...but not for everyone.

Zack discusses this film with TWO guests this week: sisters Kelli Falconberry and Erin Anfinson.

Santa Carla, California is the murder capital of the world, and there's a reason: the town is overrun with vampires. Two brothers, new to town, find themselves on opposite sides of the vampire epidemic. It's the comedy/horror hybrid that has become a cult classic -- 1987's "The Lost Boys", starring Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland, Dianne Weist, Jami Gertz, and more.

Zack welcomes back Michael Yeager (heard previously on the "Beverly Hills Cop" episode) to discuss.

You know the song. You can't help but tap your toes. But don't do it in Bomont, because dancing is illegal there... at least, until the teenagers challenge the status quo. It's the wildly successful 1984 film, "Footloose", starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, John Lithgow, Chris Penn, and Dianne Weist.

Zack's wife, Audrey Bennett, joins him for this look back at a film that, as popular as it was, perhaps didn't match the popularity of its own soundtrack.

Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is a street-wise cop from Detroit who - against his boss's orders - goes "on vacation" to Beverly Hills, California to solve his best friend's murder... drawing the ire of the very by-the-book police department there.

Michael Yeager joins me this week to discuss 1984's biggest hit movie: Paramount Pictures' Beverly Hills Cop, co-starring Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Steven Berkoff, Lisa Eilbacher, Paul Reiser, and Ronny Cox.

My guest this time around is my former boss, Adam Stanco. We discuss the cult classic in great detail on this episode of "Videoblivious"!

We're living in a world where artificial intelligence has become a legitimate threat. It's not 2023... it's 1984. But two mysterious figures have traveled back in time from 2029 to kill the mother of the man who will save humanity. They arrive naked - and bring all sorts of plot holes with them.

Keith Conrad joins me to discuss 1984's epic sci-fi/action flick: "The Terminator". A modest little movie that spawned a six-film franchise which still tries to justify some of the shortcomings of the original.

FUN FACT: The number of words in these show notes are greater than the number of words Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks in the film.
