Ordinary People (1980)
Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review - June 06, 2024 01:24 - 1 hour ★★★★ - 1.3K ratingsHonestly, when listener Eric commissioned "Ordinary People," we were worried the episode would be dry, academic and morose.

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review - May 30, 2024 00:25 - 58 minutes ★★★★ - 1.3K ratingsOne Shat host is a social justice warrior. The other hates Mel Brooks movies.

PCU (1994)
Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review - May 21, 2024 19:54 - 1 hour ★★★★ - 1.3K ratingsIs "PCU" hard to find because it crossed a line or because it's just not a very good movie? Listener Jeff from Nebraska commissioned the Shat Crew to uncover the truth for his 40th birthday. In a lot of ways, PCU is your typical '90s college movie. The university president is trying to shut do...
La Bamba (1987)
Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review - May 16, 2024 15:30 - 1 hour ★★★★ - 1.3K ratingsA lot's changed since 1987: Biopics are much more common (and darker). Chicano artists are more mainstream, and Lou Diamond Phillips is a household name. So we acknowledge "La Bamba' was groundbreaking ... and not very good.

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review - April 30, 2024 23:49 - 56 minutes ★★★★ - 1.3K ratings"Krush Groove" is the sort of '80s oddity that can't quite be categorized. Is it a musical? A comedy? A collection of music videos with dialogue sprinkled in between? This time capsule captured rap's infancy and changed the way Big D speaks. This week's episode, commissioned by listener David ...
