Patrick returns to discuss two classic 1980s movies: "They All Laughed" and "Star 80." The common thread is the late Dorothy Stratten. We discuss her cinematic footprint, as well as her literary footprint in "The Killing of the Unicorn." Middle aged fantasy or true love?

I'm joined by Doom from The Nerd Blitz to discuss the 1980 sci-fi film "Galaxina." The movie starred the late Playboy Playmate Dorothy R. Stratten and we get into my theory that Playboy Playmates are about as close to idols as we ever got in America. Warning: We do get a bit spicy in our conversation in places so if discussion (and jokes) about sex and the female anatomy are not to your taste, you may want to either skip this one or have your finger on the fast forward button.
