Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" sets the bar for 80s movie effects. It boasts inventive techniques, tons of heart and neurotic attention to detail. Shocked? So we're we. But Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd and the Disney-Warner Brothers crossover made believers of three grown men. Also, Rog did way too much research for this one.

The Fifth Element (1997)
The Fifth Element combined the action starpower of Bruce Willis, the sexuality of Milla Jovovich, the comedic genius of Chris Tucker, the incomparable talent of Gary Oldman and the fashion vision of Jean-Paul Gaultier. And it pretty much sucked. Shocked? So were we. In 1997, we worshipped this movie. In 2017, we were horrified to note the glacial pacing, meandering storyline and awkward fight choreography. Kevin Brackett, of Reel Spoilers and Review St. Louis, guest hosts and confirms our startling realization: The Fifth Element does not hold up.

Major League (1989)
Major League takes us back to a time when baseball was hot, actresses were sex objects, and Charlie Sheen was likable. And despite some racist overtones and plot holes, this 1989 comedy still holds up. Bob Uecker is still the best play-by-play on film. James Gammon is still the most believable baseball manager in Hollywood. And a shockingly young Wesley Snipes still dazzles in every scene. Rog loved it. Gene Shat on it, and Dick knows far too much about baseball. Check it out!

Twister (1996)
"Twister" gave us all a horrifying glimpse into a world where the United States doesn't have any politically correct superpower enemies. Left with no face for our fears, director Jan De Bont made weather itself the enemy, and not even a star-studded cast including Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Cary Elwes could save the resulting shatstorm. If you were thrilled by this movie years ago or have warm feelings for the late Bill Paxton, let us teach you to hate everything about this movie ... with good cause.

Raising Arizona (1987)
"Raising Arizona" introduced the world of the Coen brothers, Holly Hunter and Tempe, AZ. It also empowered John Goodman to truly display his abilities. But most of all, it showed us how funny Nicholas Cage could be. Infinitely quotable and impressively shot by Barry Connenfeld, "Raising Arizona" is a 1987 time capsule that hasn't aged a bit. It's every bit as funny now as it was when we were kids. Gene wrote this and isn't at all biased by his 25 years as an Arizona resident.

Blade Runner (1982)
"Blade Runner" should be a classic sci-fi masterpiece. Should be. Ridley Scott directed it. Philip K. Dick wrote it. Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah and Edward James Olmos brought it to life. "Blade Runner" brought dystopian aesthetics to life for American audiences in a way we'd never seen before. And it totally sucked. Before you cancel your Shat The Movies subscription in disgust, hear us out for an hour. If you could stay awake through "Blade Runner," you can sit through this..

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
"The Shawshank Redemption" is one of the finest prison movies ever made, worthy of its 1995 Oscar nomination. But does it hold its own against the other cinematic giants of 1994: "Pulp Fiction," "Forrest Gump," "Quiz Show," and "Four Weddings And A Funeral?" And why did it cost Gene Lyons his first kiss from the girl of his dreams? Reminisce about the beauty and transcendence of Stephen King's tale, then jump right into our debate over whether Andy Dufresne really was guilty, Tommy was telling the truth and Hadley was a bad man.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
Some say there's no such thing as a perfect movie. We say, "You need to rewatch 'Pulp Fiction.'" Quentin Tarantino's 1994 quasi-noir masterpiece has earned the first-ever perfect score from Shat The Movies. The mind-blowing cast includes Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Buscemi and Peter Greene. The mind-blowing script contains too many quotes to list. Rog loved it. Gene loved it. Big D loved it. Don't watch any other movies, ever.

Highlander (1986)
Is "Highlander" the worst '80s movie? Perhaps. Is it the worst movie Shat The Movies has reviewed? Definitely. Christopher Lambert can't act. Sean Connery isn't Egyptian or Spanish. We still don't understand why "there can be only one." The movie starts on a high note with Freddie Mercury belting out Queen's "Princes of The Universe," and two very long hours later ends up in the toilet. "Highlander" had one saving grace: It might have been a veiled legend of a closeted homosexual community coming to grips with its identity. But if it was, none of our gay friends noticed. Apologies to the entire nation of Scotland and our friends at Great Northern Radio. Brace yourselves for the most vicious review we've ever released.

Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
We all remember "Revenge of The Nerds" as a fun '80s college movie, but there's a much darker side when you watch it today. What we once saw as pig pranks, masked sex, panty raids, crazy house parties and fiery undies now can be viewed as animal abuse, rape, theft, arson, hate crimes and assault. Does that ruin the movie, or do the jokes still shine through? Do Booger's burps, Ogre's brawn or Takashi's Engrish outshine the creep factor of secret video cameras in Pi Delta Pi sorority house? The Shat the Movies team debates these issues and more in this review of the 1984 classic "Revenge of the Nerds." BONUS for fans of Big D: He was in a fraternity, and he's got loose lips on this episode.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is the rare sequel that launched a franchise from good to unbelievably great. Does "Terminator 2" hold up after two decades? Absolutely. This prime specimen of sci-fi action perfection has it all: Edward Furlong escaping in the aqueduct chase. Arnold Schwarzenegger shredding cop cars in the mini-gun shooting gallery. Robert Patrick jamming his finger through countless heads. Linda Hamilton cracking skulls and field-stripping rifles like a pro. And if all of that doesn't convince you to listen, imagine the joy of hearing Gene, Roger and Big D try to wrap their heads around time travel in a non-determinist universe. "Terminator 2" is God's gift to blockbuster moviemaking, and Shat The Movies worships it.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
"Beverly Hills Cop" launched Eddie Murphy's international movie career and was the biggest box office hit of 1984, but is it overrated? No, dummy. This is the police comedy that brought us the banana in the tailpipe, the synth sounds of "Axel F," the lovable Judge Reinhold at Det. Rosewood and Bronson Pinchot's bizarre accent. Does Eddie Murphy's laugh get annoying? God yes. Do the action sequences make sense? Hell no. But "Beverly Hills Cop" gets our Shat Stamp of Approval. Find out why, and let us know what you think!

The Breakfast Club (1985)
High School was a very different place for teenagers back in 1985. There were no cell phones, lockers were still in use, and there was this strange building on campus called the "Library" that housed books and delinquents on Saturdays. In this week's review, Rog, Big D, & Gene explore the hit film "The Breakfast Club". We explore whether or not the themes of teenage angst, High School stereotypes, and John Hughes-style diversity still hold up over 30 years later. The Shatty Trio also share stories of their own High School experience, predict where the characters are today, and tackle the question as to why a movie called "The Breakfast Club" only served lunch.

Commando (1985)
Give "Commando" some respect! Seriously! This Arnold Schwarzenegger action extravaganza paved the way for watch-based action shows like "24," spawned Arnold comedies like "Kindergarten Cop" and proved you can, in fact, have too much calypso music in a movie. This episode has something for everyone: Big D wows by using his military experience to backseat drive the world's worst Special Forces operatives. Roger busts out his world-famous Austrian accent, and Gene tells the tragic tale of Val Verde, a nation forgotten because it never existed. Relive Schwarzenegger's tactical mistakes, marvel at Dan Hedaya's awkward Spanish accent, swoon over the implied homosexuality, and cringe at the veiled pedophilia. It's all here on Shat The Movies. Sit back, press play, and LET OFF SOME STEAM.

Rocky IV (1985)
Rocky IV punched its way into the heart of '80s kid by giving us an overload of all the things America loves: a dopy Sylvester Stallone, a terrifying-yet-misunderstood Dolph Lundgren, a sexy robot, Cold War speeches, Carl Weathers' mustache and training montages. Sure, the punches looked off, the scenes were largely recycled and A GUY DIED IN AN EXHIBITION FIGHT, but after 31 years we're still thrilled by this beefcake brawlapalooza that's tough as snails Leave a Review - http://shatthemovies.com/review Subscribe & Social Media - http://shatthemovies.com/subscribe-and-follow Website - http://shatthemovies.com Email - mailto:hosts@shatthemovies.com Our TV Podcasts - https://shatontv.com/shat-on-podcasts Theme Song - Die Hard by Guyz Nite

The Last Starfighter (1984)
The Last Starfighter brought us Rylans, the Kodan, Zando-Zans, Grig, Beta Units and whatever the hell Centauri was. It also delivered childhood dreams of video game supremacy that would carry us to the stars. But does all that make up for hammy acting, eye-melting CGI and an alien race who look like balding boobs? That's this week's debate, and Shat The Movies' three-man panel is split like never before. So load up your meteor cannon, strap into your gunstar and get ready to discover a whole lot more about Roger's sex life.

Tombstone (1993)
"Tombstone" packed in the stars: Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Dana Delaney, Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley, Steven Lang, Billy Bob Thornton and more. And it packed in the action with a relentless shoot-em-up pace. But did it pack as big a punch as we remember? From historical accuracy to production quality, let's cock the hammer on this 90's western and explore some hot topics, including: how many shells and double-barreled shotgun holds, when it's permissible to seek a new wife, how long after an assassination attempt you must wait to play billiards, and the difference between Doc Holliday and Doc Hollywood.

Christmas Vacation (1989)
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" tops nearly every list of favorite Christmas movies and holds a warm place in our hearts. But it isn't flawless. For every "shitter was full", there's an attic plank hitting Clark Griswold in the face. For every moment Chevy Chase shows his genius, there's a scene where he's forcing a laugh that never comes. If you're a huge fan of "Christmas Vacation" or a closet hater, this episode of Shat The Movies is for you. Happy holidays from Roger, Gene and Big D. We wish you the hap hap happiest Christmas of all.
