Do you ever find yourself reminiscing about the past and remembering something you would love to go back and change, a mistake that haunts you on a regular basis. Well that is what this 80’s flick is all about, a man who for 13 years has regretted dropping the ball in a High School Football game and holds himself responsible for the town he lives in being in the doldrums ever since. So fire up the green rocket, put on your white cleats, and get ready to bring the town of Taft out of the bowels of lethargy as Tim Williams and guest co-host, J.B. Huffman, discuss “The Best of Times” from 1986 on this special forgotten 80’s flick episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Podcast!

Podcaster & Film Critic
J.B. Huffman is an Alabama-based independent film critic whose writing you can find in small doses on Letterboxd. He hosts a biweekly podcast called Manly Movies, where he and a guest discuss their favorite movies and the lessons they teach us about being a man. Being a husband and a father of two, personal growth in the calling that men have is one of his biggest passions, and movies can be a tremendous tool to help us through that. J.B.’s main goal in film criticism is to find the good in everything he watches because there is an audience for every film, and every filmmaker should get a certain level of respect in that regard. His favorite tagline is “not all five stars are created equal,” meaning that a film that perfectly accomplishes the goal that was set out by its director deserves the highest rating, regardless of its technical quality or awards status. He finds that viewing film through those two lenses makes for a more enjoyable experience.
