Good Times Great Movies

Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello
317 episodes   Last Updated: May 23, 25

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?
