A movie podcast where three lifelong friends rewatch classic ’80s and ’90s films to answer the big question: Does it hold up today? From cult favorites to box office hits, we break down acting, story, characters, and nostalgia in a fun, honest, and entertaining way. Perfect for fans of retro movies, film reviews, and pop culture deep dives.
When people think about Dirty Dancing, they think about romance. They think about the music. They think about that iconic lift. But maybe it’s time to rewatch the film through a different lens: what if this isn’t …
What do you get when you cross a Mountain Dew commercial, a Rocky-style underdog story, and more montage footage than actual script pages? You get Rad—the 1986 cult classic that lives and dies by slow-motion stunts, blaring …
Seth’s earliest memories are of staring up at a glowing TV while The Last Starfighter melted his brain in the best possible way. Raised on VHS rentals and the sacred Friday night pizza ritual, he spent most of the 80s convinced that The NeverEnding Story was a documentary.
In the 90s, he tried to emulate every action hero he saw—until a failed attempt at a Cliffhanger-style zipline ended with a sprained ankle, considerable damage to his family’s tool shed and three weeks of grounding. He still maintains that RoboCop is the most important political film of the 20th century and once cried during Predator—not because it was sad, but because it was so perfect.
Seth has spent far too much time breaking down the complexities of John Cusack roles, and considers Lloyd Dobler to be the greatest philosopher of all time.
He brings structured chaos and a suspicious amount of movie trivia to TRGMS.

Justin imprinted on 80s action movies like a duckling does on its mother. His first full sentence was “Sweep the leg,” and he once tried to moonwalk across the cafeteria while holding a boombox over his head like Say Anything meets Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
He spent his teenage years trying to recreate the Ferris Bueller parade scene using only his cousin’s boom box and a borrowed riding lawnmower. It did not go well.
A die-hard fan of movies with explosions, training montages, or a strong saxophone solo, Justin spent the 90s convinced he was the long-lost member of the Mighty Ducks. He has seen Timecop more times than he’s seen his own birth certificate and has very strong opinions about Cool Runnings.
On TRGMS, Justin is the spark plug—bringing hot takes, sudden rewatches of Labrynth, and an almost alarming level of emotional investment in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.
