    Even during the lively era of the Marx Brothers' films at Paramount Pictures—featuring vaudevillian chaos like Horse Feathers and Duck Soup, or Mel Brooks parodies such as Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein—audiences had never experienced the overwhelming number of jokes like the ones in this 80s flick. These gags are so nonstop that the weaker ones don’t even have time to linger. The film is packed with puns, pratfalls, provocations, interplay of foreground and background, double entendres, references to movies, TV shows, and commercials, along with random acts of silliness and absurdity, including many 'dad jokes'.

    So be sure to park in the red or white zone and purchase your smoking ticket, but don’t eat the in-flight fish meal as Tim Williams and guest co-host Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" discuss “Airplane!” From 1980 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!


    Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

    According to the Blu-ray commentary, the song "Stayin' Alive" was sped up by 10 percent for the movie's dance scene. Permission from The Bee Gees was required to speed it up.

    The filmmaking trio pitched the movie to Paramount as '

    Animal House on a plane'—a misleading description, but a necessary tactic to sell the executives on the film's zany humor.

    #152 - "Prancer" (1989) with JB Huffman
    Dec 19 2025

    That Rudolph guy and his red nose may get most of the hype when it comes to Santa's furry transport team, but he isn't the only caribou who's earned his stripes... or, should I say, antlers. That's part of what makes this 80s flick a nostalgic centerpiece of the holidays. Most of the time, Santa's reindeer serve as background fixtures at best, so getting a story that centers around one of the less talked-about members of his flying troupe is kinda brilliant and one of the many reasons it deserves to be added to your yuletide viewing schedule, if it isn’t already.

    So meet us in the barn with cookies and oats as Tim Williams and guest co-host JB Huffman discuss “Prancer” from 1989 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!

  • #151 - "Ernest Saves Christmas" (1988) with Laramy Wells & Robby Retro

    #151 - "Ernest Saves Christmas" (1988) with Laramy Wells & Robby Retro
    Dec 5 2025

    Whenever Christmas time comes around, and you see lists of the best holiday movies — and even the most underrated ones — you’ll almost certainly never find this 80s flick on any of them. It really hasn’t managed to embed itself in Christmas pop culture like some other films have, to be sure. And that is a real shame, because while this movie isn’t high-class theater, it’s considered a favorite Yuletide watch for kids of the 80s and 90s.

    So meet us at the Orlando Children’s Museum with Santa’s magic sack as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Laramy Wells and Retro Robby discuss “Ernest Saves Christmas” from 1988 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!


    Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:
    • ​The scene where Ernest visits his friend Vern's house was filmed on Residential Street at Disney's MGM Studios in Hollywood. The house façade gained popularity as a notable feature on the Backstage Studio Tour when the theme park opened in 1989. In 2005, the entire street was demolished to make way for the Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show Spectacular. That stunt show was later replaced by Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
    • ​Ernest's pickup full of snakes has a sign that reads "Apopka Snakes." Executive producer Joseph Akerman went to high school in Apopka, Florida, a city north of Orlando, where most filming was done.
