The year was 1986, and the Brat Pack—a group of hot young actors that folks associated with each other—was on top of the world. Then these three movies were released, and that was basically the the end of that.

Ep. 172: FIGHT THE TOWER
We watched three movies about the scariest types of buildings: tall ones! Yes, what's scarier than a skyscraper, floor after floor of potential for terror. And the only way out? A really cool wirework stunt fall! For the love of God, just TAKE THE STAIRS!
BLACKOUT (1978, Eddy Matalon)
DE LIFT (1983, Dick Maas)
SKYSCRAPER (1996, Raymond Martino)

Ep. 171: NAUGHTY BY NATURE
It's off to the deep wilderness for three nail-biters featuring killer wolves and bears! But—and you're not gonna believe this—it turns out the ultimate wild animal might just be...man? Well, in one of these it's definitely the wolves, but they're probably a metaphor for man.

Ep. 170: CLOONEY BIN
We're following the progression of notable movie actor George Clooney, from his humble, tic-filled beginnings, to the much less fussy "classic" period. He is hot in all the phases, of course.
