'The Road Warrior' with Mel Gibson still holds up as an action film 40 years later.
Technically Road Warrior from 81. But! It’s still a badass movie!
USA release was 1982, Australia was 1981. I'm in USA and that's when I saw it.
I didn’t know that
Great topic guys. Laszlo and Alo are the best.
For the film "Don't Go to Sleep", the UA-cam channel TVfanatic has this. Chris, you always come up with some gems to talk about.
I saw the original Tron in the theater when I was a kid and loved it. I own it on Blu Ray now and still love it.
I really love Monster Den Thursdays Chris Alo rules. Thank you and please keep giving us the Monster’s Den.
As an avid viewer of the Monster's Den I would like to say how much I enjoy Jamie's contribution to this superb show. I do miss Rich and hope he will return at some point but the dynamic of Pete, Chris and Jamie works just as well. Jamie puts a lot of effort into his performance and his selfless ability to be candid is an endearing quality on all the SOT shows he's on. Many thanks lads, for all your time and enthusiasm.
What happened to Rich anyways? I was watching an old HVS show with him on it and I noticed that he hasn’t been on the channel in awhile
@@alexandergilles8583 Don't know , there has been talk of him returning but we'll have to wait and keep watching as it's great anyway.
Good memories my late mother took me to see The Wrath of Khan in the cinema when i was 11..
I liked Blade Runner when it first came out, and after all these years it could easily be my all time favorite movie. The atmosphere in it alone makes it worth watching, plus every character is interesting. Every great movie has something to say about the human condition, Blade Runner tackles some of the most primal and basic questions - what does it mean to be human, and how long have I got ? Plus any movie that has Daryl Hannah trying to crush Harrison Fords head with her thighs is a must see.
Blade Runner is one of the best films ever made.
Exactly! And the music, the music. Pete didn't mention the music!
1. Bladerunner
2. The Thing
3. Poltergeist
4. Creepshow
5. Cat People
6. E.T.
7. Conan
8. Tron
9. Season of the witch
10. Tenebre
Great memories of my Dad taking me to see Friday The 13th part 3. It is my favorite of the series followed by part 7. Thanks as always Pete for the great content. SOT is the best channel on UA-cam. King Alo!!!!!
Friday The 13th part 3. It is my favorite of the series
You always count on Jamie to raise the viewing to a different level. Nice timing with the Nerd sign falling. Wasn't watching in 4K so I didn't see the wires 😉
Star Ttek TMP is so under Appreciated. Possibly my favorite Star Trek movie. I agree it is boring and when I saw it for the first time when I was a kid I really did not like it. But I have come to absolutely love it.
I think people give TMP an unfair rap without considering it's essentially a really long, but really great looking Star Trek episode...and a pretty good one at that. Yes, there are times where it drags a little bit, but it's not the worst of the original six and easily not the worst of all the Trek films.
1982 I always think of The Entity. Based on true events of Doris Bither. Crazy to think this stuff can really happen. Allegedly happen?!
A super creepy haunted house film. The same year also saw the final co-working of director Kevin Connor and star Doug McClure, in The House Where Evil Dwells co-starring Susan George. Haunted house story, bloody alright but overall unfulfilled potential.
Always enjoy the participations of Jamie "Mr Props" Laszlo 🍺😁
“Not a big fan of Close Encounters…” what?! Did I hear that correctly? Wow I think it’s his best film.
Hey, Darren... I second that emotion, says the ol' Motown song... Close Encounters has some absolutely tremendous moments, what with flying saucers down the highway, the famous call and response with spaceship... BUT.... I honestly feel that the rest of it hasn't aged very well---kinda talky, ponderous and maybe boring.... This coming from a person who once championed the film as one of Spielberg's greatest triumphs... So sad, right?... Take Care, Ghostrider Rick
Not Jaws. Not Raiders. Not Schindler. Not Ryan. But Close Encounters?
Love the Danzig hat Chris
I agree totally with Chris "Madman" and "Pieces" were absolutely alot of fun
Perhaps Jamie’s greatest episode ever! “Drunk me loves to give sober me gifts.”
funny, i just watched q the winged serpent yesterday. what else came to my mind was Panic, Parasite, Trick or Treats, Blood Link and The Bronx Warriors. I Love Trash like Chris
10. E.T.
9. Poltergeist
8. Creepshow
7. Bladerunner
6. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
5. Conan The Barbarian
4. Friday The 13th Part 3
3. The Thing.
2. Silent Rage
1. The Terminator

Class of 1984
Halloween III
Don't Go To Sleep
Tenebrae
Cat People
Silent Rage! My favorite Chuck movie.
@@brandonbelt5055 It's an awesome film!
In the middle of watching this right now. Wanted to stop to say a couple things....
1. Pete, great choices with "TENEBRAE" and "Halloween III: Season of The Witch"
Tenebrae is awesome. It's always been a Top 3 Argento for me! In some ways it's his most perfect film. Everything you guys said is right on the money! Especially that "white wall" kill mentioned by Alo. And all the sensual, big-eyed women are exquisite!
Also, I've personally liked "Halloween III" right from the jump in '82. But see, I wasn't all pissed off about M. Myers not being it. I just loved horror films, loved the variety of 'em and, I dunno, always kind of understood that nothing's promised to us in this life, so why not enjoy it for what it is. And to me, all that whiny and entitled complaining about Michael Myers just kinda seemed immature and stupid to me anyway. Obviously, you can't do JAWS 3 without a shark (well, wait, they kinda did...cuz that J3 shark was just friggin' ridiculous, so might as well have) I digress...
Again, I've always thought Season of The Witch was good and it's always come off delightfully weird, futuristic and very creepy. Love the kill scenes, love Stacy, love the masks! 🧟 🎃 💀
*Also have to say quickly, "Thanks to Chris, for again, bringing up "DON'T GO TO SLEEP" I've always loved 70s telefilms (TV movies), since "Trilogy of Terror" and "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" warped my young mind in the mid 70s...but somehow I never caught "Don't Go To Sleep". Probably was too busy with music in the early 80s. But I've been wanting to see it for years now. This reminded me again to do so. Love Val Harper too. Thanks again, Chris 🤘
2. Me and my good buddy (and still excellent drummer) Steve Riley went to see "PIECES" at the Budco Theater, and I can confirm, it was definitely 1983. For sure b/c I had my first car then (a red and black '73 'Cuda)... we drove to see Pieces after a rehearsal one night. And man, were we ever entertained!! Such a friggin' batshit movie. Especially seeing it back then! We laughed more than anything, but to this day, if one of us brings it up.... "Man, remember that night back in '83, us seeing Pieces in the theater?" Haha. Uhhh, Yes! How could you forget that! I mean, you might forget going to see Superman III or Yentyl, but you're not forgetting "PIECES"
*One last thing...I'm a huge "CREEPSHOW" fan. Couldn't agree more with Chris. It IS a near perfect movie. And to me as well, the weakest story is "They're Creeping Up On You". I don't hate it, but it's kind of a let down after all the other excellent stories.
My faves are "The Crate," "Father's Day," and the underrated "Something To Tide You Over" (which is fantastic in every way, and has never been talked about as much as the overrated cockroaches)
Only one I'll add on here is "CAT PEOPLE" Trippy, seductive movie that doesn't shy away from violence (you'll never see a more realistic and affecting "got my entire arm ripped off" scene that the one here with poor Ed Beagley, Jr. Plus, hey, you've got Nastassja Kinski in her birthday suit, the highly alluring Annette O'Toole, the brilliant Malcolm McDowell, REAL cats, and the great atmospheric theme song by David Bowie. What's not to love.
Those classic trek films (aside from #5) deserve to be re-evaluated. They seem so much more mature and fun now.
Pete, I wish you had a change of heart for Black Sabbath's "Never Say Die" like you have had for Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Both are criminally underrated and so unfairly maligned.
Regarding the lingering question about the FX work in New York Ripper. Those were done by Germano Natali who also did FX work for Suspiria, Profondo Rosso and Horror Infernal.
wow. i f'n LOVED Bladerunner and Dune AND the first Star Trek film (why do so many shite on that film ?), and definitely did not hate Tron when they came out. not sure what that says about me - oh, and i loved Close Encounters (and 1941) when i saw them AND the last story in Creepshow - that eruption o' cockroaches was f'n classic on the big screen. The Thing (and The Fog and Big Trouble - my 3 favorite John Carpenter films...) are must-sees every year ! . yes, Wrath o' Khan was a step up, but the first one was a solid reboot ! great sci-fi is not non-stop action, and i still think the story o' one o' our primitive satellites returning as a planet destroying behemoth was an intriguing one back then - oh, and GREAT score. nuff said...
Pieces and Basket Case are timeless classics.
great pic pieces chris loved it never seen before
Lots of good releases in 1982 here's a few that i enjoyed.
1. Tenebrae
2.Amityville 2 : The possession
3.Cat people [remake]
When I first started collecting vhs I limited myself to one for each year. 1982 was Night Shift w Henry Winkler. I pretty much stuck to that pattern and its the only 1982 I own. 1976 of course is Jaws.
I think Night Shift is not only Howard's best film, it's one of the 80's best comedies. Early appearance by Kevin Costner.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Yes. I absolutely love the film. Who directed Splash? that was a good comedy.
@@bluejayfan5584 That's Howard too, Clint's older brother.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Yes I wikipediad that right away. Unfortunately can't credit him with Princess Bride .
Two films I love -
Conan the Barbarian (1982)
“Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas”, men were hunter gatherers or sword fodder, and women fierce protectors or passive pleasure providers. Viewed in today’s more socially astute times, Conan the Barbarian (1982) is very much a male fantasy adventure with elements of misogyny, sexism and even fascism. Any film that opens with a Friedrich Nietzsche quote is going to be brazen and unapologetic so sock and sandal wearing liberals beware.
The script was adapted from the Robert E. Howard stories by then young guns Oliver Stone and John Milius, who essentially provide us with a testosterone soaked landscape where only the very strongest live and die with any honour. The harsh and brutal fabric of this world is entwined by those who aggress and those who simply comply.
But where the film excels is in the steer conviction of the execution. The odyssey starts with few words because in this world, weight is delivered in action and not spoken in reptilian tongue. The cinematic language is through arguably the most powerful original film score ever recorded (composed by Basil Poledouris, who out Wagners’ Wagner) combined with strong visuals of muscle clad titans against unflinching remorseless environments. It is here Schwarzenegger excels as a force of nature both in terms of sheer physicality and also as the protagonist in the story. Every pore in his skin exudes quiet immense charisma and power, only matched by Milius’s love for the source material which is illustrated in every frame of the film.
The film could easily have fallen into the pit of countless action fantasy films of the era but avoids this by introducing an element of spirituality via the mantra of the riddle of steel and the foreboding new age evangelism of Thulsa of Doom, the art of seduction beautifully played by James Earl Jones. It may be the bombast of galloping armoured horses and clashing steel that demand your attention but it’s the moments of stoic reflection bathed in glorious orchestration that linger long after the last drops of blood have been spilled.
Mad Max 2 (1981) - The international release was 1982
Mad Mad 2 or The Road Warrior (as referred to in North America) is a beast of a film. The premise is simple and unoriginal, a dystopian world where fuel is precious and survivors are divided into sparse tribal gangs where lawlessness is rampant. Enter the mythological (and in this case with a name) hero or anti-hero....
Where the film literally obliterates all other action films is in it’s pure kinetic fury. The semi-mechanised villains are genuinely abhorrent and therefore the threat is real on the opposing community who are desperately clinging onto any fragments of civility. The visceral action sequences, expertly crafted by George Miller are an ode to dirt coated twisted metal, motion, engine revs and gasoline. Gibson thrives a the man with a name, clad in black leather with blue eyes and armed to the hilt. His feral charm further elevates the film as the angel faced grim reaper who finds himself a saviour. Hugely influential, never bettered, this is a divine slice of fuel powered rage!
Obviously I'm a Basket Case fan lol. Great stuff as usual dudes! I have to throw some love out there for Road Warrior and Amityville Horror ll.
1. Creepshow
2. Halloween III: Season of the Witch
3. Friday the 13th Part III
4. Poltergeist
5. Amityville II: The Possession
6. Basket Case
7. Pieces
8. The Slumber Part Massacre
9. Xtro
10. Q

The first time I saw Creepshow was when it was on HBO back in 1983, I vaguely remember they're creeping up on you story with EG Marshall as Upson Pratt, but I think I've seen it about 20 times in my lifetime. They pay homage to EC Comics that they grew up reading as a kid.
The Thing is my favorite horror/SciFi movie of alltime!
10. The Thing
9. Q, the Winged Serpent
8. Cat People
7. Creepshow
6. Silent Rage
5. Halloween III: Season of the Witch
4. Conan, the Barbarian
3. Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan
2. Blade Runner
1. Poltergeist
"The Class of 1984", Michael J. Fox's second movie, is a good revenge film from 1982. It has a classic ending.
Perry King was great in that film!
I was five back in 1982. My sister told me about watching Creepshow in the theater at age 12 back when they weren't checking IDs for R-rated films.
1982 was no doubt the last best year for horror movies! Halloween III: Season of the Witch is my all-time favorite film! I also loved The Slayer, The Thing, Unhinged, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, New York Ripper, and Amityville II: The Possession. All classical and memorable films!
Edward James Olmos is absolutely in Blade Runner 2049! Small part though. The rare long awaited sequel that is almost as good as the original.
Totally agree, olmos was in 2049 version
Chris, I watched Don’t go to sleep in my bedroom on a black and white little tv.I didn’t go to sleep for many nights.That bath scene with the radio!!!!!
Loved Halloween III from the moment it came out. The connecting point for this film was the word Samhain. Michael had written the word on the school blackboard and Donald Pleasence explained what it meant.
Great show! I watched Amityville 2 the other night. Wow, that movie goes places I never expected and has some fantastic camera work. They could have ended it 20 minutes sooner and it still would have been great.
I saw Q in the theater when it first came out. Totally cheesy but a lot of fun.
Thank you Chris for you CONAN shout out!!! And one of the greatest soundtracks EVER!!
10 -Beastmaster (some shit on it some dont but i love it)/Quest for FIre if it counts 9 -Alone in the Dark 8-Blade Runner (yes should be higher but im judging it for personal taste not masterpiece status)7-Cat People 6-Halloween 3 5-Q the Winged Serpent 4-Conan the Barbarian 3 -Poltergeist2-Tron1-The Thing
3:01 Oliver Robbins. He was also in Airplane the sequel, and he is the only surviving child actor from the Poltergeist series, as you know what all happened with Dominique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke having tragic deaths.
That's why I feel sad watching Poltergeist (1982)! Way too tragic for me to handle!
Don't Go to Sleep is a good reason never to bring home a Pizza that isn't already sliced. Those Pizza cutters can be deadly if placed in the wrong hands
There's The Thing at the top by miles - and then there's everything else.
Did I mention that I love The Thing? :)
My top 10 favorites not in order:
Poltergeist
Beast Master
The Thing
Cresspshow
Tron
Star Trek 2 Kahn
Blade Runner
Time Walker
Dark Crystal
ET
Honorable Mention- Q
The Entity! Scary as fuck when I seen it as a 10yr old, hard to find now, and the music leading up to some of the scary scenes was quite amazing, very Metal
The Sender
ET was the first theatrical film I saw at age 3. So there you go.
The Thing
Halloween III
Bladerunner
Creepshow
Cat People
Xtro
Great episode.
There was a book version of Halloween III that I actually read before I saw the movie so I knew what the story was before I saw the movie. Like everyone else I kind of questioned why Michael Myers wasn’t involved, but when I saw it I actually really liked it…even at the time. I thought it was a cool, original story.
I have that novelization myself, somewhere in the collection!
I need to read it!
Some "TV Version" notes. Yes, "The Thing" aired on TV. The one thing I remember specifically was during the "blood test" scene when Keith David says, "This is a crock of shit," they changed it to "This is a crock of stuff." Obviously they didn't allow the word "shit" on TV back then, but "stuff" just sounded hilarious. My family used that for years as a joke.
I remember seeing Creepshow a few times on broadcast TV where they didn't even show the final story ("They're Creeping Up On You"). They just end it after "The Crate." This really pissed me off because the final story was always one of my favorites and the relatively short length compared to the others makes it a nice finale. It feels like, "OK...we're having so much fun, here's a quick one for the road!" If they were going to cut out a story for TV they should have cut out "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill."
i got a tremondeous laugh in the theatre at star trek 2. in the bug scene i screamed out its a gypsy moth and the theatre erupted lol. it was the hight of the gypsy moth scurge at the time
The biggest controversy about the Shogun Warrior toys was the father who had one of them apparently with the spring loaded missiles oh, I heard he deliberately press the button, and the projectile went in his kids mouth, and of course I heard the Kid die. That's the reason why children's toys have warnings on the packages now.
29:31 cant forget the guy with the keys. Theres also his teacher with the frogs
The Thing - maybe the movie I seen most time.
Poltergeist.
The Sword and The Sorcerer is always a favorite of mine. Fun movie, and at the end, the credits said look for Tales of the Ancient Empire which of course never came.
The Evil Dead and Evilspeak!
Sci-Fi:
Blade Runner
Tron
Horror:
The Thing
I've probably seen Jamie at a Ace Of Cups concert. Had no idea he lived in Columbus.
Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D can remember seeing the three-dimensional standee with the glowing red blood on Jason's machete. Remember seeing that in the theater like yesterday even though it was a 1982.
You guys probably know this, but the late Larry Cohen in 1982 was supposed to be doing a new Mike Hammer movie called I, the jury, where he was originally hired as a screenwriter and director but he got fired and he was stuck in his hotel, so he decided to make the best of it, he came up with Q the winged serpent. Of course, another idiosyncrasy about King Cohen, the king of B-movie schlock is he love to get away shooting without permits. He would just get some quick and dirty shots, in one scene in Q the winged serpent, he hired steeplejacks as police officers when they go and battle Q.
I scored a cool version of Danzig 3 that i bet Chris would appreciate. I mean, he probably already owns it, haha. Also, i only recently learned that Keith Emerson did the soundtrack to Tenebrae! Very cool.
Which version of Danzig 3? The one with the plastic 3D cover and the VHS tape?
@@chrisalo2989 Hahaha yes!!! Never saw it before a few weeks ago. I absolutely did not need it, but i bought it anyways. I even bought the new cd pressing of Danzig 5...even though i already own it, and and dont love it.
Great episode. I was 17 in 1982. I saw most movies in the theater, but a couple years later VHS came out, and I saw a lot more. Jamie, did He Man come out in 82, because Beastmaster seems to have a lot of similarities? Blade Runner is a great movie. When I first saw it I was like what, but later on it was one of the best si/fi movies I ever saw. ET is a classic. I ain't cryin'. The soundtrack is great, but so is Close Encounters. I don't really like B movies, or slasher films, but I like Halloween, and the first Friday the 13th scared the shit out of me. Drive Ins were great fun. Chris you should help bring them back. I'd like to see all your action figures. Poltergeist is another classic. Tron is ok, but classic video games are better. Creepshow is great. I like the comic book look. The Thing. It's cold, and snowing where I live. Kurt Russel is always good. I love all things Star Trek. Conan is great. Just like the character. 82 was a good year. Thanks guys.
Didn’t The Entity come out in ‘82? I bought that on Blu-ray after you guys talked about it in an earlier show…
Halloween 3 Awesome
What?! Temple of Doom is amazing!
ii was17 in 82.my girll annd i went to thee movies every weekend and saw a new horror film.81\82 was awesome times for this horror guy
My wife talks about going to see Wrath of Khan in the theater with her Mom and she was only 6 or so and to this day she won’t watch it because it traumatized her. 😂.
Pieces is so much fun. Just watched Friday the 13th 3 just recently and forgot how good it was.
.,.. Ronnie Cox also in Deliverance with Burt Reynolds
I once bought a pack of poker cards after taking some Ambien for the first time. I have never played poker in my life and have no plans to ever -
Conan f'n rules ! as a Robert E Howard fan (including his Solomon Kane novels...) i loved it - and one o' the best film scores EVER !
Halloween lll is cool.like it
That wasn't just some nobody kung fu guy in Peices. That was Bruce Le, not Lee.
The Thing and Creepshow
i really love the origional the thing. is the 82 version just as good
Creepshow all the way for something to tide you over with Leslie Nielsen and Ted Danson and eg Marshall getting eaten by cockroaches in they're all creeping on you and the dark crystal pretty scary for a kids film and cat people as well
Q is incredibly sharp, about a con man extorting the New York Police. Moriarty is amazing. classic. Star Trek 1 is better than you give credit It emulated 2001. Yes slow in pace, but deliberate and deep, The fantastic score led the way to the next generation, it was more of a movie than just a tv show on a big screen. The Enterprise was the star. find the you tube clip of the Enterprise in dry dock, if that doesn't stir you than try it again, the scene defines stirring. ET was a bit too manipulative for me but it is one of Williams finest scores.
I had the Godzilla and the Rodan.
I don't know whatever happened to him they ended up in my parents' garage and I think they threw them out.
The Archer Fugitive From the Empire was a TV movie I believe that was supposed to be turned into a series that didn't.
Rip Torn and throws a baby in The Beastmaster? I'm there. He threw a wrench at Justin Long in Dodgeball, watch him throw a baby in a fire in The Beastmaster.
FIRST BLOOD.
Creepshow beat out Rambo First Blood for five consecutive weeks from the number one slot.
They cover photo image of this video kinda resembles Blaze Bayley after a long week
i dig Conan the Destroyer…and both have great soundtracks
i too have drunk purchased from Amazon
saw halloween 3 at the drive in. didnt like it but i appreciate the memory
The Thing
Conan the Barbarian
Blade Runner
First Blood
Friday the 13th part 3
i loved ben franklins. got my hot wheels and mexican jumping beans there
I have walked out of the theater on 3 films in my entire movie-viewing life---and 2 of them were Spielberg films!---The Lost World(what a dog of a film, it sucks).... AND(wait for ir)... E.T....I want my 2 hours back!....Avatar from James Cameron was the third film, if SOT has to know... UGHHH is my review of that one!.... Take Care, Ghostrider Rick
Bladerunner has got to be in my top 10 of all times. The sequel was gorgeous but kinda boring as the new Dune flick. How about an episode about Fulci's flicks from the late 80s and 90's. Some real stinkers 😁
Watched the thing for the first time from your recommendation, wasn't very good. Should have known as I've never been a big horror movie fan. Enjoy the show though. Did watch bang your head video lol
LARRY COHEN is cool.
Oh yes guys, the Tron arcade game was one of the best ever!!! Movie was forgettable
PG movie with the most nudity? You got the actress right, Tanya Roberts, but the movie is Sheena.👀
peices on shudder I'll have check out
