It’s the podcast where a filmmaker (Nathan Blackwell of Squishy Studios) and a comedian (Krissy Lenz of Neighborhood Comedy Theatre) take a hilarious look at the 80s movies we think we love or might have missed with modern eyes and probably a significant haze of nostalgia.© TruStory FM アート

    Guest photographer/filmmaker Aaron Kes joins Krissy and Nathan for "Amadeus," the Oscar-sweeping tale of Mozart's genius told through Salieri's jealousy.Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell dig into why "Amadeus" tells Mozart's story through the eyes of the man who wanted to destroy him. They talk through the film's refusal to play by music-biopic rules, its all-American-accent Vienna, and whether an Oscar movie really needs three hours to earn its stripes. Guest Aaron Kes, a photographer and filmmaker who volunteers with the Phoenix Film Festival, brings a fresh eye to a movie he'd avoided for years.The Most Excellent 80s Movies is Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell's episode-by-episode look back at the movies of the 1980s.Full show notes and resources: https://trustory.fm/80smovies/amadeus-1984/Become a member: https://trustory.fm/join/

    A Very Texas Kind of Trouble: The Gang Sits Down with Blood SimpleWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell welcome special guest Shannon Mauck of the Neighborhood Comedy Theatre to dig into Blood Simple (1984), the lean, sweaty debut that first put the Coen brothers on the map.The trio wrestles with a familiar question: does a stripped-down, low-budget noir like this still land the same way decades later, or is its reputation doing some of the work now? Krissy and Nathan compare expectations to the actual experience of sitting with the film’s slow-burn dread, while Shannon brings a comedian’s eye to just how deadpan and bleak it all plays.From there the talk turns to texture over plot: performances, the way silence carries so much weight, quotable lines, and the unmistakably “very 80s” grain of a shoestring production that still feels like a blueprint.It’s a warm hangout even while the movie stays cold-blooded, with Shannon supplying plenty of surprise laughs along the way. Consider this one spoiler-light and premise-level only.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosIf you’d seen this movie cold, with no context at all, what genre would you have guessed you were watching?

    Baby Pictures, Bad Qi, and Above the Law: Steven Seagal’s Debut Under the Microscope
    Welcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Show. Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell welcome special guest Dorian Lenz of the Neighborhood Comedy Theatre to dig into Above the Law (1988), the film that introduced the world to Steven Seagal’s particular blend of aikido, righteous fury, and remarkable hair choices. Expect origin-story skepticism, mullet taxonomy, and a genuinely heated debate about who runs worse on camera.The trio wrestles with what it takes to launch a brand-new action hero from scratch, sizing Seagal’s debut up against the star-making runs of Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, and Chuck Norris, and questioning whether a movie this tangled holds any weight beyond nostalgia. They also can’t quite agree on whether the hero is really upholding the law, or just the character most openly ignoring it.Conversation fuel includes a full ranking of the film’s mullet hierarchy, a surprisingly serious debate about aikido’s limitations against firearms, growing admiration for a scene-stealing supporting performance, and very specific opinions about Seagal’s uniquely awkward running form.It’s a chat that stays at the premise level, sidestepping the film’s late reveals in favor of curiosity about how this particular action star got built, one bone-crushing choice at a time.TruStory FM | Membership (early, ad-free access + bonus content): Join | Socials: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | Learn more about the hosts: Neighborhood Comedy Theatre | Squishy StudiosWhich 80s action star do you think nailed their very first movie the hardest?
