34. 1988 In Film

Steven, Benjamin, and Sean hop in the cinematic time machine once again, this time to revisit 1988. A year of genre-bending gems, blockbuster oddities, and VHS-era schlock.

We share what we saw in the cinemas at the time, what’s aged like a fine wine, and what’s curdled into something best left in the bargain bin. From the political punch of They Live! To the pinstripe cheese of Cocktail, via Red Heat, Child’s Play, Big, Willow, The Blob, Twins, and the anime milestone Akira, we cover the whole wild spectrum.
