      Yeah I thought Disney+ was going to be putting all of their adult films on Hulu in the US. I think he have a section for them on Disney+ international.

    Such an amazing retrospective of a long forgotten movie studio that spawned so many classics that also launched so many careers for a lot of iconic actors such as tom hanks in splash, and John candy in the same movie.a few favorites are stakeout, one of the best buddy cop movies of the 80s that nobody talks about, three fugitives who framed roger rabbit and shoot to kill, ruthless people and down and out in Beverly Hills are some of my favorites

    I've never even heard of most of these movies, this is the best channel to find out about good movies from the 80s and 90s that you didn't know about or forgot about

    Kind of off topic....but you're the only channel I've heard even mention "Band of the Hand ."
    Great content though. Love the story behind the stories.

    My Science Project was an HBO favorite for me. Most memorable quote "OK, Sawyer. What's going on? Distributor caps don't just pop off. unless you want 'em to. OK. It's confession time." Splash was a repeat watch, too.

      It was an interesting film for sure well-acted just had the misfortune of coming out against extremely hard competition at the theater sometimes it's all about luck and timing.

      Completely agree - outside of Down and Out and Ruthless People. Tough Guys, Baby, Splash, etc. were all super sanitized. 1987 would be the year Touchstone separated itself. To me anyway. Thanks for watching.

    just wonder why people of younger generation are so obsessed with running channels about the times they never even experienced. Maybe it`s better to make your own life

      Cause Nostalgia has always been catnip going back to the 70's with Happy Days and Grease, invoking a simpler time and every generation there's always a Retro Boom , in the late 90s there was an 80s Nostalgia, in the early 2000s there was a 90s boom and also Movies based on old TV shows were hot (Mission Impossible, Charlie's Angel's, The Brady Bunch etc) Retro done well is Money

    In my opinion under the Touchstone Pictures titles many great films were made. Since Disney took over I feel their catalogue hasn't been fresh just remakes for a woke audience.

      Hollywood acts like it's living paycheck to paycheck, any profits go to executives and not back into the art. So it means every movie needs to make a payday so no more chances are taken.
