Was 1987 the best movie year? Simon Foster & Dan Barrett intend to find out. Join them as they watch and discuss one 1987 movie each week. With 100 curated films across a pretty incredible year for movies, there's a lot of viewing that needs to get done.
Released 1 May, 1987, Creepshow 2 is a sequel to the rather good anthology film from 1982. Unlike the first film, Creepshow 2 is neither good, nor a hit. This week our podcast hosts have differing opinions on liking the film. It is part of their ongoing exploration into the wild idea that 1987 was the best year for movies.

1987's The Allnighter
Released on 1 May, 1987, The Allnighter has Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles in the lead role. Written and directed by her mother, Hoffs stars alongside Dedee Pfeiffer and Joan Cusack. They're a trio of girls graduating college, uncertain of what lies ahead and mourning a lack of love in their relationships. It's an 80s party film! But... is it a good 80s party film? Dan Barrett and Simon Foster dust off the film for a chat.

1987's Extreme Prejudice
Walter Hill film Extreme Prejudice is pretty well-forgotten by movie audiences these days, but it has a great cast of character actors and some great, bloody-as-heck shootouts. Dan Barrett and Simon Foster press play on the neo-western for the Best Movie Year podcast where they go through the films of 1987.
