Good Times Great Movies

by Douglas McCambridge & Jamie Lorello

Every other Friday, Doug McCambridge and Jamie Lorello discuss a film from the 1980s. Some are films we haven't seen since we were kids and offer a fresh perspective. Others are films we've never seen before but probably should have. Do they hold up? Are they classics? Or would these films just be better off having been lost to time?

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started listening to this podcast a few weeks ago and can’t stop! I love the banter between Jamie and Doug - they make me laugh every time! Plus, it’s a blast to go back to some of these movies that I have not seen in a very long time. There are a lot of horror movies reviewed, which are not my thing, but plenty of other movies to keep me engaged! If you are a product of the 80s like I am - you definitely need to listen!!

These two have fun riffing on films and also bring on wonderful guests. Highly recommended!

Best part of this podcast is how it makes me feel like I’m hanging with a couple friend talking movies. Sometimes we are gushing over our favorites or other times we are poking funny at the bad ones. Either way, it’s a fun time!

DP and Jamie have become my favorite movie pod duo. Their long friendship and chemistry is fabulous and their energy level and passion for movies is fantastic! I especially love the old school movie selection. I keep changing favorites, Jamie is hilarious and witty, but DP’s voice is so familiar, yet unique. Sometimes he reminds me Albert Brooks, lol. This is a must subscribe and so much fun!
