Yeah, they strike a decent balance between nostalgic reflection and analytical historicization, which I appreciate and--as someone who is a good 8-10 years younger than they are, but nevertheless was at least familiar with the existence of a lot of this stuff via VHS or cable--can relate to. They did seem to be tearing through some of the titles a bit too quickly at first, though; like, I doubt that the spectacular WTFness (based on the trailer) that is Die Laughing will ever receive any other forum in 2017 than this podcast, but they brush it off in about a minute. I'm all about them spending five mins on The Fog, but its not like that film hasn't been endlessly discussed in the whole podcast/80s nostalgia era.

I loved Super Fuzz to death as a kid, though the VHS we had of it was called Super Snooper. I can recall the theme tune in absolute clarity.

On Buzzr last week, they ran the series of Match Game 75s Alex Karras was a panelist on. Inspired, I jumped onto imdb to research posters, since Alex Karras was kind of born to be on the kind of posters in this thread. The problem is, I couldn't really find any! There was this thing, which tries for the effect (which it seems this film is just screaming for) but cheaps out with photos and falls short.

Hahaha I remember specifically searching for Gas-s-s-s once on the hunch that it'd have one of these.
"Recruits" may be unique in offering both a 70s jam-packed and an 80s bold-outline-with-airbrush variation.
