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.

The Last American Virgin 1982
School is in session, and if you take your subjects of study as seriously as we do....then join three grown men as they take teenage Gary to task for not being emotionally enlightened enough to save himself from being the architect of his own demise. This teen sex comedy came to existence at the same time as Fast Times at Ridgemont High, with an eerily similar controversial theme. Although TLAV takes place in a parallel universe where the adolescent landscape is more akin to what we've all probably experienced of life in the 80s., minus some of the more risqué interludes of course. I LOVE Rivers Edge by the way, and say “absolutely” a lot!
