Step into the time machine with us—Scott McLean with Mark Smith, and Lou Calichio from the Music Relish Show—as we rewind to the electric year of 1983. Our trip revisits the melodies and movie magic that have withstood the test of time, from Michael Jackson’s moonwalk to the silver screen glow of box office hits. Even as we laugh off technical hiccups and Lou's antics from a 'borrowed' Airbnb, the shared passion for this bygone era rings true. It's a blend of personal tales, historical musings, and a game of vinyl record poker that will have you longing for the days of 45 rpm singles and the thrill of discovering a classic track.
Picture this: a game where your hand is dealt in vinyl, and the stakes are pure nostalgia. We unearth musical treasures from Smokey Robinson to Three Dog Night, reveling in the excitement and unpredictability each new pull from the box brings. Meanwhile, the backdrop of 1983 unfolds through our laughter-lines—with ZTT Records’ birth, Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," and the transformative UK Singles Chart's electronic leap. Personal whereabouts become waypoints in our journey, as the music milestones of '83 echo the bittersweet symphony of Karen Carpenter's untimely departure and the soulful heights of Marvin Gaye's national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game.
Culminating in a crescendo of memories, our episode is a homage to the icons who shaped our musical landscapes. From David Bowie's chameleonic mastery to Michael Jackson's epochal dance moves, the year's soundtrack is as diverse as the stories we share. We touch on triumphs and tribulations: the glory of Toto's Grammy sweep and the darker moments of the music industry. And as we wrap up, anecdotes of rock 'n' roll valor, like bar brawls over honor, intermingle with reflections on the lasting impact of albums like 'Synchronicity' and 'Kill 'Em All'. Join us for this joyous, jam-packed jaunt through 1983—where music history and personal narratives collide, and every listener leaves with a piece of the past.

And they didn't put out a bad album, that group, no, no no, they didn't. I really can't say they put out a bad album. Reason number one in the UK album shots.

Let's see, april 5th 1983, a genitor, and yeah, general, gen, gen, gener, generative theory of tonal music Doesn't matter. Us also on April 5th. The fuck was that US Interior Secretary, james G? What Remember Jim White? Yeah, he was his controversy when he effectively bans the Beach Boys from a return. Remember who was president back then too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Bans the Beach Boys from a return performance at the fourth of July festivities in Washington, announcing that Wayne Newton I remember this would perform instead. I remember this.
Speaker 3:Ah, yeah.
Speaker 1:What claims that rock bands attract the wrong element? Of course they do.
Speaker 3:That's the president.
Speaker 1:Reagan himself, an avowed Beach Boys fan, presents what With a plaster foot with a hole in it.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's great.
Speaker 1:Stuck his foot up his. Stuck his foot up his ass.
Speaker 3:I think the Gippa was a Beach Boys fan. Yeah, he was, and we were only a few years removed. Good vibrations are happening with her.
Speaker 4:We were only a few years removed from Willie Nelson sitting on the roof of the White House smoking weed, saying all the avenues lead to the White House. Can you imagine that revelation and the Almond Brothers hanging out in the?
Speaker 1:middle of Reagan was Governor California Beach Boys were his band yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Uh, April 11th 1983.
Speaker 3:I also Wayne Newton.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, Wayne Newton. Was Wayne Newton at one point the greatest entertainer in the world, King of Las.
Speaker 3:Vegas. He was the king of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1:King of, and if you're the king of Las Vegas, dude, that's not, that's no small feet.
Speaker 4:No, no, walgreenswahl's wife and vacation.
Speaker 3:He was the king of Las Vegas before rock and roll went there, though.
Speaker 1:Well, he was king of Las Vegas for a long time. Yeah, yeah, for a long time, yeah.
Speaker 3:Ducky she on.
Speaker 1:April 11th 1983. Dave Mustaine is fired from Metallica he got. The band is set to be recording his debut album. He's replaced by Kirk Hammett. Not a bad replacement, no, probably better. So that's that scenario that we said makes a band better. When you brought in David Gilmore, when fucking Sid, you know whatever his name left right.
Speaker 4:And it was good for Dave Mustaine, because he formed Megadeth and he did pretty good too, so yeah, yeah, and then you know, lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks added to Nate Fleetwood, macbeth.
Speaker 1:I mean the list goes on where they just Brian Johnson.
Speaker 3:ACDC ACDC.
Speaker 1:Well, they weren't really down though.
Speaker 3:Like they weren't down, but they got bigger. They got bigger.
Speaker 2:They got bigger because of Black and.
Speaker 1:Black yeah oh yeah, true, true.
Speaker 3:Not necessarily better, though, like you said, I mean Bonscott, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bonscott, I think they would have eventually been great. Maybe not as fast, they just hit at the right time Music videos and, yeah, a real testosterone driven song and material material. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Bonscott would have been a great showman in the 80s MTV because he was one hell of a performer, yeah.
Speaker 1:Now, April 9th 1983, David Bowie achieves his fourth UK number one single with let's Dance. Saw him that year too. Saw a lot of concerts that year. A lot of good concerts were out that year. April 11th Dave Mustaine is fired from the Call of Duty as the band. Yeah, Okay, I must have. Oh, another David Bowie. April 14th, David Bowie releases let's Dance, His first album since potting waves with RCA Records and his 15th studio album overall. With his deliberate shift to mainstream dance rock, it would become Bowie's biggest commercial success at 10.7 million copies sold worldwide. Bowie, however, would experience a critical downturn for the next 10 years as a result of his perceived obligation to continue appealing to fans of the album oh. So he tried to recreate it and he couldn't. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Interesting. I mean the subsequent albums. I mean like Jazz and Dance, or was it Jazz? And For Blue Jean, yeah, or Blue Jean's a good song Never let you down. I mean, that was, I don't.
Speaker 1:But yeah, blue Jean could have been on let's Dance.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That could have been on with that, the horn section.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it had a different sound, but it was just a different record with a different production.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was so it's the continuation from sticky fingers to tattoo you right. All those songs that were left over, right? He just moved some over, maybe right.
Speaker 3:My downstairs neighbor at that time. He's a trumpet player and I knocked him a door. He came home and he goes. I just played on David Bowie's session, which way.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, he was on Blue Jean. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean, it's got that wild saxophone, I think that's the guy, yeah, yeah. He said, bowie was a class act.
Speaker 1:I'm sure he was.
Speaker 3:Toe. The session was just like gold.
Speaker 1:I never heard of Bowie being a dick.
Speaker 3:No no.
Speaker 1:Never heard of that. He had a sense of humor about himself too. I think he always had a. He always had an ulterior motive too. He was always like he was, a good. Like they said, the story goes that he cherry picked some of Iggy Pop's persona, some of Lou Reed's persona.
Speaker 1:There's a commision, so he was a great chameleon, in a sense of you know if he saw something, so I think he was just like that. He was always alert around people to see what he'd get from them. Yeah, and he manicured a great persona out of that.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think that the friendship with Trent Reznor was kind of a bit of an opportunity to stay current.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, yeah, yeah, absolutely I mean, rock and Roll is all about grabbing. It's all about stealing, really, yeah, and grabbing and assimilating. You know different aspects of this and that and you know.
Speaker 1:Dave Phillips, king of the 45s 744. I'm still here.
Speaker 4:I'm beating you. I'm beating you.
Speaker 1:You know, it was not him, big head, todd Wetzrock.
Speaker 2:Thank God, yeah, I know, Don't feel bad for him buddy, no, no, no, okay.
Speaker 1:April 18th, ellen Taft Zwilich becomes the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for music. I don't know what the fuck she did, but good for her. Oh, april 23rd, the 28th annual Eurovision Song Contest. Nobody cares. May 16th 1983. Singer, anna VC Marys, composer, who cares? Here it is. I called it. I called it May 16th 1983. A day that will go down in TV and Motown history. The Motown 25 special is on NBC, celebrating a quarter century of Motown records.
Speaker 1:Michael Jackson unveil and I didn't read this prior to the show Michael Jackson unveils his moonwalk dance During the performance of Billie Jean. And it was just fucking. The next day, yeah, crazy, it was just. Everybody was fucking talking about it. Everybody was talking about it. That's a, that's a moment. That is a pop culture iconic moment. Yeah, but no doubt he changed the face of how people saw him. He created that dance. He didn't create that, he got that from his choreography, but he perfected it. Everybody was fucking trying to do it. I could do it. I learned how to do it. A black kid at work showed me how to do it. I could do it. It was hot, only with socks.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you can't do it a bare feet.
Speaker 1:It's like ick ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick, ick. Yeah, why was it called the moonwalk?
Speaker 3:Because if you see the moon Lenny there, anything but graceful up there. That's a good point.
Speaker 1:I never, never thought that it defied gravity. That's the good idea.
Speaker 4:It's not looking around like a robot.
Speaker 1:They could have called it the spacewalk.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah Something like space glide, moonwalk stuck.
Speaker 1:So there you go All right, let's see the beautiful Tiffany Van Hill says good evening y'all, good evening, yes, yes, yes, I'll see you tomorrow, tiff, let's see. May 28th to June 4th the second US festival is held at Glen Helen Park in California. Yeah, june 3rd 1983, american rock drummer Jim Gordon commits matricide during a schizophrenic episode.
Speaker 4:Lou. Yeah, take it Lou, my hero, I want my hero.
Speaker 3:He's gang drummer, I'll tell you Matricide. Killed his mom. It's not. It's not, he didn't kill a mattress, no, it's when you throw your whole bed out.
Speaker 1:I hate sleepies, mark, you fucking drummers, drummers no.
Speaker 3:I love my mom, and so did Jim Gordon, though, but anyway, lou, you don't have to listen.
Speaker 1:You don't have to justify. You love your mom.
Speaker 3:I was her favorite.
Speaker 1:Lou was like I love my mom, don't look at me, don't look at me, I love my mom.
Speaker 3:He's one of my idols. I read his modern drummer interview six months before he killed his mother and that was weird. The interviewer even said in his preamble to the interview he goes I had to chase him because I felt that I convinced Jim Gordon I was either a good witch or a bad witch.
Speaker 1:Well, he was schizophrenic.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, he didn't know. He didn't know who we got. Yeah, that's the whole thing, but he's. But during the interview. I read the interview very insightful. He praised Alex Van Halen Highland.
Speaker 2:About new drummers.
Speaker 3:He goes, he goes. Great drummer, that kid. He liked his sound.
Speaker 1:All right, he is a great drummer yeah, he is.
Speaker 1:All right, let me. Let me stop for a second, because I'm going to forget this. I'm going to forget this if I don't bring this up. So we always talk about and I'm on June 18th, so we'll write down in the middle of the year. I was thinking of this today, so I downloaded and added to my finally manicured playlist some Aerosmith songs from Rocks and Toys in the Attic, right, although this Get your Wings is my favorite album, but those two albums just absolutely have some serious, fucking, heavy, heavy songs on there, right, sick as a dog and nobody's fault, right, so nobody's fault. Let's take that for an example. How come Joe Perry was never or is ever, is never talked about in these greatest guitar players category? Joe Perry was a fucking. If you list, go back and listen to those albums. Sure, we took it for granted that he was fucking seriously shredding on those two albums.
Speaker 4:Not only shredding, but look at their one of their biggest hits Walk this Way. That's a sublime rhythm. He's playing. You know all that little picking he's doing in there. Yeah, excellent guitar player.
Speaker 3:Is there speed as a guitar player, Does he have like that? Certainly does Well the thing is the 70s, going into the 80s, mark as a guitar player and metal fainting the 80s. It was about speed, it was about the trickery. It was about the fucking whammy bar is what it was about, and it was he that he wasn't that type of player. It was a blues rock, right. If that vein of music had continued in more widespread notes, maybe he would have been more nosy.
Speaker 4:You know what part of it is? In the 80s, when I was buying Guitar Player Magazine. So Eddie Van Halen and Ingve Mounstein were every issue right. Joe Perry by the 80s was seen already as an elder statesman. So what they said is oh, we're giving him respect, but we're not going to fall in all over him.
Speaker 1:So we're focusing on the 80s, right. So, overall, though, his overall body of work through the years, I mean listen to, I mean just listen to, oh yeah he's an excellent guitarist Excellent. But he's never been considered as one of the best, Not the greatest. He's never. He never would have been the greatest, but he's not even talked about. Like when we say best guitarist, it's never like Joe Perry. He never hit Keith Richards.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But Keith Richards also was more of a rhythmic yeah yeah.
Speaker 3:Also, even though Joe Perry is a guitar player, you know those songs. Everything's crafted for the song yeah Right.
Speaker 1:So go listen to rocks. Yeah, listen to Toys and the Attic, yeah, and so look at, get your Wings. I mean, he does a pretty good guitar solo when the train kept rolling.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean Like, but he was never, even I've never heard him mention in the conversation.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I have. I've heard him mention.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 4:In the 80s, he was always being compared to Keith Richards, mostly because of his drug use and his party.
Speaker 1:Plus the bands were, you know, Mick Jagger and Steve and. Tyler, they had that same front stage thing.
Speaker 4:And I always when I was in high school, we always used to like be amazed that if you listen on headphones to walk this way, just listen to that chick, it's almost chicken picking he's doing during the verses. It's sublime. And we and nobody like you see cover bands do walk this way. Most people can't do it like him Can't do it, yeah, so.
Speaker 1:I remember the conversation being like the Rolling Stones are the greatest band out of England but Arrowsmith is the greatest American man I'd had. That conversation would pop up for years. Yeah, yeah, you know. Let me say who played lead on sympathy for the devil? My brother was, and it was.
Speaker 4:Keith Richards, keith, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I'm not listen. I'm not saying anything other than he's never mentioned. Though he's never mentioned Mick Taylor is mentioned before Keith Richards.
Speaker 4:I think as a lead player, Mick Taylor was definitely better. But Keith, you know he can play lead up there with the best of them, but he chooses to be more rhythmic. I swear he could go toe to toe with Clapton, I think, yeah, he doesn't do that. That's not him. He's not into soloing, you know yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, I just thought I'd get that. See how that went, let's see. July 6th 1983, a statement of protest against music piracy is the form of home taping. In the form of home taping, john Michael Jari releases only one pressing of his latest album, music for supermarkets, which is sold at an auction to a French real estate dealer for 69, for about $8,960. The auction is broadcast on Luxembourg radio, radio Luxembourg, which also plays the album in full for the first and only time.
Speaker 4:Interesting. You know what he did, Scott? Well, he didn't make any money.
Speaker 2:He only made a grand of that album.
Speaker 1:In 1986, how much to record it.
Speaker 4:In 1986, he did a concert in Houston, Texas. My sister was living down there and I went. The whole city was his stage, so he had his keyboard in the middle of the city and all the lights were on top of all the office buildings. We were about five miles away in a park and they had PA columns throughout the city.
Speaker 4:Wow, that's pretty cool and it's called Rendezvous. They have the album and just to sit there in a park. You never could see him. We had no chance at that, but we saw all the office towers with the lights going in sync and it was like a rush type light show. And I saw pictures of his keyboard. He had an oversized keyboard. Each key was like this big, so when he played you'd see the keys. He's a pretty. If you never listen to him, he's pretty good. He's just a very eccentric new age type guy. And that was. That's a concha experience I'll never forget.
Speaker 1:All right. My brother said I always thought it was tail out. I thought it was Keith, but maybe I'm wrong. No, it's.
Speaker 4:Keith, I'm pretty sure it's all. Yeah, I'm tailing around when they were, I don't think he was in.
Speaker 3:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:No, he wasn't. No. Dave Phillips albums I purchased in 1983, police, synchronicity, let's dance, bowie, murma, rem, eliminator, zz Top and Sports by Huey Lewis. I saw all those concerts, except for Huey Lewis. I didn't see REM. I didn't see REM. So let's see. July 19th 1983, simon and Garfunkel begin their North American Summitor in Akron, ohio. On July 21st 1983, diana Ross performs a filmed concert in Central Park in heavy rain. Eventually, the storm forces her to postpone the rest of her concert until the next day. I remember that that was in the news. On July 25th 1983, metallica releases their debut album Kill'em All, since hailed as a groundbreaking release for the burgeoning thrash metal genre. Yeah, I think that's a seminal album, that is a that's up there with, but it will never get that credit for greatest debut albums just because of the genre that it covers, right.
Speaker 4:I like the second one. Better Ride the Lightning.
Speaker 1:Right, July 29th 1983, Friday Night Videos is broadcast for the first time on NBC.
Speaker 4:I used to watch that.
Speaker 1:Yep. August 5th 1983, david Crosby is sentenced by a judge in Dallas, texas, to five years in prison on drug and weapon possession charges. August 16th 1983, johnny Ramon suffers a near fatal head injury during a fight over a girl in front of his East Village apartment.
Speaker 3:She ain't worth it, buddy.
Speaker 1:Well, you know what? I always said this. So there's a quick little story that I put behind this Long story short. Some guy disrespected my first wife. I was in New Mexico and read a bar, super Bowl, patriots, green Bay, a lot of Green Bay fans there, so they were getting drunk. As the game kind of began and got on Out of nowhere, someone throws a fucking, a wet paper like a wet napkin Across the bar.
Speaker 1:They were throwing at me and it hits my wife in the chest Right. So I turn around and I look and I just the first table I looked at. I think it was them right, because they were yapping the whole fucking time. So I just fucking make a hole. This is a small bar. I just fucking bowl through the crowd and I go up to the table and it's kind of like a high top table and I look at the dude and I said throw it at me, bitch. And I just started laying and calling him a bitch, a punk ass pussy, in front of the whole bar. I'm just laying it on him, I'm trying to provoke him and he just stands there.
Speaker 1:Now a lot of people don't like this part of the story, but you got. You got to listen to the end, you got to listen to the end. His girlfriend, his girlfriend, and this dude just stood there and let me just berate him. In front of a whole bar, his girlfriend she gets up on the first rung of her stool and she says if you don't shut up, I'm going to slap you in the head. And I looked right at her and I said you slap me, I'm going to fucking knock you out.
Speaker 1:So I started back as this guy did this to my wife, right. And I just, and all of a sudden, the fucking she cracks me in the back of the head. Oh no, so I fucking reach up and I take her by the face and I fucking launch her like a shot, put off the fucking chair, right onto the floor. She just boom and all hell breaks loose, fuck. So I have one buddy with me when I'm stationed with and I have another friend who's in a wheelchair in my wife, right. All hell breaks loose. People just started coming at me and.
Speaker 1:I'm just so it's like, it's like. This is why cops don't berate through a doorway, because you funnel in and you just a target to get hit.
Speaker 2:Right yeah.
Speaker 1:So they stopped funneling to me and I just started hitting everybody, anybody that come near me. I'm just hitting people, boom, boom, and I'm just backing up and this is a surge Like this place went fucking nuts. I can't make this up. So I got my back against the wall and I look in my buddy and he's got a fucking beer bottle and he's ready to crack someone. I'm like no, because then we're getting into another level of trouble.
Speaker 4:Is it your buddy in the wheelchair?
Speaker 1:He's fucking button people. He's button people with this wheelchair Right. He was a paraplegic Like this wasn't like he had a broken leg, but he was down with it. I had seen this much fun in years.
Speaker 1:Right. So all, finally someone breaks it up, right, and they all just kind of back off. Everyone just kind of backs off in the bad. The waitress comes over and she's telling everybody shut the fuck up. Blah, blah, blah. So I don't know. Everything calms down. Now I'm going to go outside. I'm not dating, you're throwing out, right. I'm going to go outside and I'm just going to, I'm just going to chill, I'm going to, I'm going to cool down a little bit. And I go out there and I think at the time I was smoking like black and milds, right. So I light up a black and mild and these two dudes, they, they come walking up and I and I just said, all right, like here we go again, right.
Speaker 1:And dudes put their hands up. They're like no, no, no, like dude, dude, we're sorry about that man, we're sorry about that. Like you punched my buddy in the face Like he's all fucked up, right. And then they start they're like dude, all right, you know, we're sorry, they're the. And then the girl comes out. I'm like, oh fuck, here we go Right. And she comes up to me and she says I just want to apologize to you, I shouldn't have hit you and I apologize for that.
Speaker 1:And I said, listen, I told him he did the moment, no problem, like I didn't rub her face in it, I already did that. I just said, listen, I was just, you know, that's my wife, that was my wife. I was just like I'm not going to get hit. I'm not going to get hit, like you probably want to understand. So the moral of my story is this so we're driving home, we're driving home, yeah, we leave, like I don't know, by halftime or the third quarter, because nothing good was happening in the game. The Patriots were losing and it was just, you know, hoping. So I said to my wife, I said now that guy, that guy has to go home tonight and he's got to.
Speaker 1:He's going to go to bed with with his wife or whoever's girlfriend and she's going to lay next to him and say this motherfucker, this motherfucker, like, watched me get launched off a bar chair by my face and she's going to hold that. And I told my wife sometimes you just got to take the beating, you got to take the beating. You know you're going to take a beating. It could be three guys, but if they disrespect your wife, you got to take the beating. Or David, you got to live with that. If you don't, Honey, let's go, let's walk away. Now she might go with you, but somewhere in her brain it's going to be like that motherfucker disrespected me, Like it's not worth it, honey. Oh it is.
Speaker 1:It is yeah, you got to take the beating. Hey, you know. And Joey Ramon, whatever took the beating, johnny Ramon took the beating.
Speaker 3:Did he?
Speaker 1:took the beating.
Speaker 3:He took the beating, though.
Speaker 1:I don't know why I fucked him up with him in the hospital A near fatal head injury. So Johnny Ramon took the beating. Good for him, good for him.

Oh yeah, yeah, such she has like a pure strong voice, yeah, like she really can belt it out and it's clear and it's just a solid, solid voice, right, but because and Kate Pearson had a nice voice too, candy candy, but Cindy Wilson had a strong voice, her voice always seemed to overpower Kate Pearson's, but we'll never, get the credit. We'll never get the credit because it's the B-52s Right.

Speaker 1:But the duchy isn't. It was that that became the word for weed, but a duchy was like a crockpot. That's that they took an old, like Jamaican, what do you call it? Like a kids song and the print I believe they turned it into that song. But the duchy pass it to the left became the weed thing, culture club kissing, to be clever. That was a big one.

It's nothing like you would expect to hear because we people jumped right to this second. They became kind of pop-ish, but they had a really good sound on their first album but that's like so many British bands, right? Well, they had the sound they had to pump it out because the record company was like they're big, now let's strike by the iron spot Exactly, adam it friend of folk, friend of folk.

Speaker 4:Gonna go with that one. My favorite teen hackman movies that doesn't really get talked about uncommon Valor. That was a good movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So I made the mistake of finishing the book the day this movie released. I timed it perfectly right and I went and saw Kujo. Ah right, yeah. This is when this was my first fucking reality check to where movies and books Absolutely can be polar opposites. Absolutely everything got changed. The ending got changed, the whole thing got changed.
Speaker 4:Especially with Stephen King, it's hit or miss. Some of his books translated Well, some didn't.
Speaker 1:I mean the end of the book, when the guy, the cop, knocks on the fucking window and the lady gets out and he's talking to her and they were locked in the car in the sun and the Costs is I just you know? I'd like to ask you a question. She says what he says. How long has your son been dead? Like yeah, fucking literally dropped the book. I literally like whoa, what Fucking fucked me up. So that night I go to watch it. I'm like, okay, I see the movie. I see the movie in the fucking kid lives the dog.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it has like three big comebacks, like you know, jump scares. I was like Also Stephen King.
Speaker 4:In the book he he inserted a slightly Mystical kind of supernatural element, but not overwrought like it was right there. That's right. The movie was just. Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 3:Lou, 10 to midnight, charles Bronson.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Thriller.
Speaker 4:That was one of his video, yeah they're.
Speaker 3:One line uses the jack off with.
Speaker 2:Who was dying to get that fucking.
Speaker 3:You know what? You know why? That one is a joke between my brother and I, because the guy that he chases down look like a guy that we knew. So every time we succeed, we should do try to do our best. Charles Bronson impersonation.
Speaker 4:No, not easy to do it Mark. Another action movie my dad liked and got me into blue thunder Roy Shider that was yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm gonna go with another Stephen King movie that came out. This was actually. I enjoyed the book and I actually enjoyed the movie. It kind of stayed relatively on On par with the book and Christine.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, yeah, I thought it was done well compared to the book.
Speaker 1:I thought I pretty hot to fuck that up. I didn't read Kujo.
Speaker 4:But I saw I just told to the ending. So yeah, I saw the movie.
Speaker 3:I saw the movie. I didn't read the book, though.
Speaker 4:Hey Lou Lou Kujo, the what's great about. Stephen King had a bunch of books that were like easy reading paperbacks. They were shorter. Kujo, running man, yeah, all those books. So definitely just grab Kujo, if you see it a library story is good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I told you just one plot twist.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dead zone was a good book. I like, I like to run, I like the running man movie. Yeah, that book was really good.
Speaker 4:I bet it's a short story, short story.

Speaker 1:All the right moves, sorry. Yeah, it's a good story. This was a blockbuster in the sound track was a blockbuster and it was. It was a. It was kind of a stupid premise, but it worked. In the 80s for some reason no one questioned it Because of the dance scenes and flash dance. Yeah, I mean, she was easy to look at. Okay, she's a welder, she's trying, you know. It's just holding down a day job. She wanted to be a dancer, and the dance scenes in that fucking movie were great.
Speaker 4:Yeah, oddly enough Wasn't it directed by Ridley Scott, who did alien. So it has that gritty Ridley Scott look to. Yeah, I directed flash dance, I believe so. She has that look, as I could, anything Ridley Scott does, like the one with Demi Moore where she was a Marine. It's got that dark imagery. Yeah.
