The Movie Loft Podcast
The Movie Loft Podcast features three Boston boys, Tony, Phil and Thom, in an old barn loft talking about '80s movies and memories.
The name and premise is also a nod to a titular Boston institution, The Movie Loft, featuring Dana Hersey, which ran on WSBK TV-38 throughout our formative years. This project started as an excuse to capture our conversations for posterity. Highlighting a different movie in each episode, we revisit some long forgotten memories, and in the process weave together a documentary of our salad days.
The point of this show is not to walk anyone through a movie scene by scene - we’re well aware you’ve been watching these flicks for decades. The aim is to discuss our deep appreciation for what it took to get each picture made, where we were when we experienced them, and how they’re a part of the zeitgeist of their times. Sure, we have some opinions, maybe even a few “hot takes”, but we’re really just here for your entertainment. Hopefully you’ll finish each episode feeling like you had a seat at our table.

Cobra 1986
On our podcast there's an "ah" every 11 seconds, an errant "umm" every 25 seconds, a mispronounced word every 65 seconds, a serious case of copyright infringement every 24 minutes, and 250 cases of us focusing on ourselves instead of our listeners in every episode.
We're downing Cella Chocolate Covered Cherries (the four c's that sweeten every Christmas) and clowning on Stallone's Dirty Harry wannabe startin' somethin' attempt at another franchise. Sufferin' succotash! It just wasn't in the cards for ole Sylvester with this one.
So if you want to be a maverick renegade just like us, get in loser! This is our first Christmas movie of 2022, and we're way out on the fringe with this one. Cobra doesn't celebrate anything except lifted booties and the strike anywhere match, but we do.
