Rewind the VHS: A Cinematic Trip Through 80s Movies

Old Mates New Laughs Podcast · 2025-04-24

01:07:27

From The Goonies to The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future to The Lost Boys, the 80s gave us some of the most iconic films in history—and we’re diving in headfirst. In this episode of Old Mates New Laughs, we’re chatting all things 80s movies: the theme tunes that slapped, the catchphrases that stuck, the endings that flopped, and the cult classics you’ve probably forgotten.

Join Brendan, Andy, and Mike as they relive a time when going to the video shop was a weekend event, and no one rewound the tape. Expect laughs, nostalgia, and just enough dodgy impressions to make you cringe.

Old Mates New Laughs Podcast

Welcome to the Old Mates, New Laughs Podcast page – a place for those of us who grew up in the 80s, survived the 90s, and are now wondering how the hell we got to middle age so fast!

We’ve been mates for 40 years, which means we’ve seen it all – from dodgy 80s haircuts and 90s Britpop, to the joys (and struggles) of being responsible adults (sort of). Our podcast is all about looking back, laughing at ourselves, and figuring out how we got here. Expect nostalgia, bad jokes, and a healthy dose of sarcasm!

We know that our podcast is nothing without it's listeners, and this is where you come in:

Reminisce – Share your favourite memories from growing up in the best decades. What were your favourite kids TV shows? What toys did you play with?

Debate – Whether Blur or Oasis was better (or if you were too cool for both)

Laugh – At the stuff we all thought was normal back then

Relate – To the joys and disasters of hitting middle age

So, if you remember life before the internet, still miss Woolworths, and wonder how we’re now old enough for back pain… you’re in the right place!
