For years, the absence of Michael Myers, Laurie Strode, and Dr. Loomis caused many fans of the Halloween movies to feel confused, reject the film, or even become angry. However, as time has passed, those feelings have softened, and the film has been reevaluated on its own merits. While John Carpenter’s original masterpiece is widely regarded as the peak of the franchise, this 80s sequel is, for some, the film that best captures the spirit of the Halloween season. By blending elements of the …

Indiana Jones returned to the big screen in a blockbuster adventure full of humor, heart, and incredible stunts. Set in 1938, our hero embarks on a mission to rescue h…

On this episode of 80s Flick Flashback, we're diving into a film that followed a surprising stumble for one of the biggest action stars of the decade: Sylvester Stallone's Rambo III.

In 1987, Sylvester Stallone seemed invincible. After dominating the box office in 1985 with Rocky IV and Rambo: First Blood Part II, and cementing his action hero status with 1986's Cobra, his grip on Hollywood's action throne appeared unshakable. Yet, his 1987 arm-wrestling epic, Ove…
