BONUS - "Ladyhawke" (1985) with Nicholas Pepin (from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast) and Chad Sheppard

The year of 1985 was an eventful year for Hollywood, seeing the releases of such timeless classics as "The Goonies", "Back to the Future", and "The Breakfast Club". It also saw the release of this 80s Flick, a medieval fantasy adventure telling the unforgettable tale of two lovers who are placed under a terrible curse. She transforms into a hawk during the day, and he into a wolf by night. Together with the help of a crafty young thief, they must attempt to lift the curse for the sake of true love.

So grab your sword, put on your armor, and mount your horse as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast and Chad Sheppard discuss “Ladyhawke” from 1985 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.

Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover on this episode:

• Rutger Hauer has said that one of his proudest moments in this movie was being able to flip the dagger in his hand during the climactic fight without looking at it.
• Warner Brothers falsely marketed this movie as being based on a true medieval legend. The original screenwriter took the issue to the Writers Guild Association. He won a cash settlement from Warner Brothers, but the medieval legend claim wasn't dropped.
