The Decades of Horror 1980s podcast began life as the Monster Movie Podcast and became Decades of Horror 1980s with episode 81 in April 2016. The current 80s Grue-Crew began with episode 145 in August 2019. They are now at episode 300 of this inspired experiment, and the current Crew decided to mark the milestone with a list: one “favorite” film from each year of the decade from each host, this time packed into one very long episode. Remember, these are the Crew’s “favorites,” not what they think are the best, most popular, or biggest box office movies. They also agreed not to duplicate any of their fellow hosts’ picks. This episode lists 40 films from the 1980s that the 80s Grue-Crew hold near and dear to their hearts. They hope you have as much fun listening to or watching this episode as they had recording it.
