“I propose you take your nose out of MY business, go back to the mayor's office, and put it where it usually is.” This week we visit our old friends from the Police Academy in the first of many sequels that will follow. It was episode 6 when we took a look at the first one of these, so will it be another case of diminishing returns or comedy gold? As always we want to hear from you so get in touch on the links below. Cheersy! Follow 80s Adventure on facebook ...
“Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you.” This week we revisit our old friends the Ghostbusters in their second adventure and what would be the last one for a number of years. As Ghostbuster...
“Hey, Ace. I would very much like you to meet Judy. She can suck a golf ball through twenty feet of garden hose. Ain't that right?” This week's episode marks some changes as we hit episode 101! Minor tweaks have taken place in the 80’s Adventure studio but it's still the show you know and hopefully love.What better way to start the next 100 episodes than to go back to where it started and cover the sequel to one of the first films we covered with Beverly Hills Cop 2! Release...
“Please God, help me get out of this. I swear I'll go all over the world telling people not to screw the boss's wife.” This week the boys celebrate 100 episodes by going back to where it all started with 1987’s The Secret of My Success. In early 2020 Darren and Matt sat down to record a pilot that was never released. Now they go back to that very film with a much different format than the pilot and many, many films under their belt. Starring the great Michael J. Fox a...
“Well my dear, I take it you spend quite a lot of time in the saddle” This week the boys journey to 1985 to tackle their first James Bond film in nearly 100 episodes!

“In case you don't know this, I used to be pretty incredible myself when I lived in Brooklyn.” This week the boys take a look at the 1983 follow up to Saturday Night fever with Staying Alive.

"RUN, GO! GET TO THE CHOPPER!" This week the boys venture to 1987 to watch a classic Arnie film, Predator.

Or worse, would I ever play Nintendo again?” This week the boys bend the rules to have a look at 8-Bit Christmas which was released in 2021.

“This is it! This is the answer. It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04 p.m. next Saturday night! If... If we could somehow harness this lightning... channel it into the flux capacitor... it just might work.
