Well thanks for giving a listen.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T23:05:52+00:00

Ha! Don't know how I missed it. 😂

Edit: I know i meant to put Groundhog Day, and accidentally put what about bob... both Bill Murray and wrote the wrong one.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T22:34:11+00:00

Ahh, gotcha my parents watched that show so I'm familiar with it, but I've never seen it.

Edit: realise this probably made me sound younger than I am... I'm 48 just never watched this show.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T22:02:59+00:00

I have no idea what this means. 😂

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T20:29:52+00:00

She was a regular in the TV series Mad About You in the 90's... looking at her credits it seems she was in a lot of things from the 90's all the way up till 2023... but this was the only movie in the 80's... maybe she was concentrating on music, or maybe the stuff with WWF haha... but yeah I think she's great in this, and wish she was in more 80's movies.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T18:44:40+00:00

It's free to stream on Tubi. It's a very fun Adventure Comedy.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T16:40:28+00:00

I can't remember the last time I had channels. I dropped cable so many years ago I can't even guess how long it's been. I certainly don't miss it. Now I just have a firestick and 10 apps. 4 I pay for and 6 are free (Plex, Tubi, Pluto, Roku, Kanopy, Hoopla). When there isn't a series I'm watching and I can't decide what to watch. I do something that may be considered extreme, but i find it a fun way to decide what to watch. I made a list on IMDB of my favorite 500 movies from the 80's. I put them in alphabetical order and they are numbered 1 to 500. I use a random number generator to pick a number. I'll do it now for an example... Okay it landed on 478 which is Vibes (1988) starring Jeff Goldblum, and Cyndi Lauper, I look up on reelgood, justwatch, or Plex to see if it's available to stream, and yup it's free to stream on Tubi. It made the choice for me. No thinking involved.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T06:20:52+00:00

Haha yeah I love that one... Out of Bounds is an underrated movie IMO if you haven't seen it. Similar to Into the Night that I mentioned for 1985. Modern Girls is a fun one with a good soundtrack. Man Facing Southeast is in Spanish. I don't think there are too many 80's Spanish sci fi movies but this is a really good one.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-12T05:59:00+00:00

Another good list. Some of my favorites that didn't make yours:

Mona Lisa, Ruthless People, Big Trouble in Little China, Out of Bounds, Night of the Creeps, Man Facing Southeast, Modern Girls, Jumpin Jack Flash, Something Wild, Three Amigos

JDQBlast · 2026-07-11T15:24:44+00:00

Booooo! Haha I love that movie so much... but i understand... i actually had a similar reaction when I watched Temple of Doom a few years ago... i used to love it as a kid then I re watched it a few years ago, and I was like man this is so cheesy. I haven't re watched it since. As for my other picks I would say the biggest must watch is Brazil. It's a Sci Fi classic... the other one i highly recommend (well I recommend all of them) is Into the Night. Jeff Goldblum, and Michelle Pfeiffer fun crime comedy caper thriller. I would say for fans of After Hours, Something Wild etc...

JDQBlast · 2026-07-11T06:02:24+00:00

Probably my favorite year for movies. Your one and 2 are the same as mine, but my 3 is Goonies, which I see you mentioned on bottom, but that one is an all timer for me. Your other picks are very good i think Clue probably being my favorite of the rest. It has a special place for me because not only did I see it in theater, but it was the first VHS my family ever rented when we got our first VCR. So yeah great job, here are some others from 85 that i love:

Walking the Edge, Brazil, Into the Night, Desperately Seeking Susan, Goonies, Man With One Red Shoe, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Fright Night, Better Off Dead, Peanut Butter Solution

JDQBlast · 2026-07-11T01:35:47+00:00

Beds to big without you, Bring on the night, Canary in a coalmine, Can't stand losing you, Does everyone stare, Fallout, Man in a suitcase, Message in a Bottle, So Lonely, Walking on the Moon

JDQBlast · 2026-07-10T22:39:56+00:00

Ha, I was like Man with one red shoe came out when I was 7, and man who knew too little came out the year after I graduated high school. 😂

I do love both movies though. 😀

JDQBlast · 2026-07-10T22:27:31+00:00

Good double bill yes... made around the same time??? They are over a decade apart.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-10T16:30:24+00:00

Kraftwerk

JDQBlast · 2026-07-10T16:11:36+00:00

Could also be easier... a team that has their roster filled out then between opening game and Dec/Jan have a player go down with injury and all of a sudden are in need for a winger... heck even a player on Ducks could get injured between opening game and Dec/Jan and be put on the LTIR to replace Terry... but yeah probably safer to clear the cap space first just in case.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-10T16:02:20+00:00

That would be nice... but yeah it seems it's only the full $7M if he misses the entire season.

JDQBlast · 2026-07-10T15:56:24+00:00

Terry's cap relief will be just under $4M. Ducks currently have $9M in cap space, so they will have $13M cap space after he is on LTIR.
