Don you remember a movie called the Legend of Billie Jean? Pat Benatar did the sound track....it was mid 80s, Helen Slater?
My brain puked that movie up out of nowhere a few days ago and I had forgot all about it. I hadnt thought of it since childhood.
So I watched it lol. My daughter and I do old 80s movies nights.

I remember the name of that movie but never saw it.
. Now if unlike Quint Tarantino you like 80's movies
Go down to your video store and rent Toxic Avenger. Now your 80 zing.

You can find good old/classic movies released under 'The Criterion Collection' umbrella at least as physical disks. Dunno about digital versions.
I re-watched 'Repo Man' the other night.
*NOTE*
Not to be confused with the more recent 'Repo Men', with Jude Law and Forest Whitaker.

We have been watching all the silly ones. Seeing these movies through adult eyes is wild
We watched Mannequin (Kim Catrell), Short Circut (started a whole conversation about AI becoming sentient). Whose that Girl (Madonna). Crocodile Dundee.
Just mostly silly comedies. Purple Rain is on the list but Squish isnt old enough for that one.
Of course The Goonies. She Devil. Serial Mom (which my kids have already seen and loved lol)

Bwa Hahaha! There were a couple local video stores that had the "backrooms" for the porn. I was always with my sweetie and the kids, so I never got to look at the dirty porno tape covers.
Of course, I always had a good imagination, so ...

Our quarters used to be silver too. I think until 1971 or somewhere in there. But I think the Jews did something somewhere.I remember that too...Reggie!

If I was single and had money, I'd take you out for Lobster.
If I had money I'd take Flynn, Dove and The Cuntess out for dinner.

I miss my grandma sooo much. My dad was there too, but Grandma tried to raise me more than he did, not his fault. She taught me everything but gaming and reading comics. Trying to sum everything up in a neat little paragraph will never happen.
Anyway, grandma is the reason I did ok as a mom and even better as a Mimi.
I honestly don't know how my dad got with my..... "mother".
I share too much, probably.

Agreed. Back in my online dating days I was unpleasantly surprised more often than not and found myself across the table from a beast that deceived me who I knew I'd never see again.
But early on I was naive and thought people were more honest.

I mentioned video stores to put you in an 80s mood.
.Where I am we had one all the way up to the early ots then they were no more.
In any case, having thought of Toxie and Sara (what a lovely and loving couple) I found the movie on tubi.
It holds up pretty well if you like tits and campy violence...not to mention a happy ending.
Check it out.
PS: Also, in watching the movie I was thinking how much Quint might have been influence by Troma Entertainment
...so I queried the google AI re: did he like Troma. Here is the quick info received:
Quentin Tarantino is a massive fan of Troma and exploitation films. He has frequently cited the "raw energy" and grindhouse style of these independently made B-movies as a major inspiration for his own filmmaking. [, ]
Troma's DIY, over-the-top, no-budget filmmaking ethos—championed by founders Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz—fits perfectly with Tarantino’s well-known appreciation for grindhouse cinema, spaghetti westerns, and cult movies. [, , ]
Did you have a specific Troma film you were wondering about, or are you interested in learning more about how Troma influenced Tarantino's film style?

Back in the 80s and first quarter of the 90s, I had to sneak to watch movies. My grandma was Pentecostal and strict. I even attended a private, Pentecostal school.
I got caught with a Weird Al cassette tape.....WEIRD AL, and was disciplined for having "worldly music". They literally called my grandma over it. The pastor listened to "Eat it" and called it "filth".
So that should tell you a lot about my childhood lol. I had a front row seat to the satanic panic.
I still enjoyed all the same songs and videos and movies...I just had to enjoy them secretly lol. Id sneak and watch all the bad devil stuff after grandma went to sleep.
I snuck into the living room when I was about ....7 or 8....and watched Return of the Living Dead. Fucked me right up. And i had to hide my trauma so I didnt get switched and prayed over.
It did eventually make me a horror fan.

I once snuck out of bed to watch a Dracula movie in the living room. I had to keep the volume low so I was already sitting on the front edge of the sofa watching the movie.
My brother's bedroom was on the other side of the wall behind me so when he rolled over in his sleep and kicked the wall on his side I nearly jumped out of my skin and landed halfway across the living room. I went to his room, punched him on the shoulder a couple times, and cursed at him before going back to finish watching the movie.
