Good Times Great Movies

<p>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?</p>

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie has a sneaking suspicion that these Nazis are bad dudes, Doug has a suspicion that Stallone is playing his character the way he is based on a dare, and we both have a hard time concentrating on this plodding historical drama because of how amazing Sly looks throughout. Press your coffee cup against the side of your face throughout a lengthy conversation for no reason, try not to gel lost in the Paris sewer systems, and join us as we feast on a Slysgiving film that neither of us new existed with, Victory a.k.a.: Escape to Victory!Visit our YouTube ChannelMerch on TeePublic Follow us on TwitterFollow on InstagramFind us on FacebookVisit our Website
