New episode! 1989 was that weird year where everyone could tell the 80s party was ending, and there's nothing more emblematic of that than the way this movie was savaged by the MPAA after tackling the last moral panic left in the bin from a whole decade of conservative freak-outs.

Miracle Mile (1988)

Movie #1,100 • WATCHLIST WEDNESDAYS

There’s nothing THAT weird, outwardly, about this nuclear-apocalypse thriller starring Anthony Edwards in a rare main lead role. But honestly this was one of the strangest films I’ve ever seen on multiple fronts. Miracle Mile is, at once, mostly boring and totally fascinating insomuch as I was on the seat of my pants with the feeling that anything could and probably would happen. It sorta felt like the natural, nonsensical end of Cold War hysteria in moviemaking. The plot is asine. After sleeping through a nap due to a power outage, Edwards goes to the diner where he was supposed to meet a date at 4am and answers a wrong number at a payphone wherein the voice on the other end of the line calling from a missile silo, thinking he’s speaking to his father, warns him of an impending nuclear holocaust. This sets off an increasingly chaotic series of events featuring a mix of the worst, most wooden acting from most of the supporting cast (thinking specifically of the diner inhabitants) as well as some hilariously bad (Mykelti Williamson) and hilariously good (Kurt Fuller) performances from other notable character actors…

Needless to say, this is a mess tonally. It’s mostly played like a serious disaster film but then a couple of chicks sporting uzis show up saying that it’s probably a good thing there’s no condoms on the rescue helicopter they’re attempting to board because they’ll need to repopulate the earth. Things ramp up to a fever pitch and the final end-times sequence of chaos on the streets of L.A. — featuring mass murder and violence — is a genuinely well put together set-piece given the circumstances/budget…

To think that this was the same movie which featured Edwards and love interest Mare Winningham “freeing” a bunch of restaurant lobsters just an hour earlier…

It’s the kind of movie that could only have been made in the 80s and I appreciate that.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

Hollywood and Elm Part 4 - A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (1989)

In today's review, I find that your future son and heir might be detrimental to keeping Freddy Krueger out. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1989 film The Dream Child #LisaWilcox #RobertEnglund #KellyJoMinter #ErikaAnderson #DannyHassel

We are all products of our circumstances, sure genetics can play a helping part, but some argue that nurture, more than nature, can end up scaring your bloodline for a long time to come. In 1989, with the 1990s on the horizon, a certain sharp-clawed killer saw off the decade with a fresh batch of victims, and possibly a new body to stalk the town of Springwood with. In A Nightmare on Elm Street…

crazy fool!

all that kept popping into my head as i was preparing this for today was some vague memory of the great kelly jo minter saying 'fool' that i know she says often in 'the people under the stairs' but i feel like she also says in a great way in maybe 'summer school'?

am i a crazy fool?

anyway, it wasn't crazy, or foolish, that i picked this playlist for this week. i picked it because it was the only one finished due to 'someone' being not only a crazy fool who starts new playlists with abandon, but a lazy one who rarely finishes one until i taunt him and call him names.

we went a little crazy on some of the songs, finding the obvious ones of course, but also looking for the ones that fit but are a little more under the radar with fools and foolishness. i know @theoldsmelly plucked a couple of gems out and i did my part to match his play. it was a fun one to do for us fools over here.

and you know the old saying, if you don't know who the fool in the room is....

you know what's next....songs about crazy fools.

love (gary about to go on) axiomatic and the old (nuuuuuuuuumaaaaaaan) smelly
