YMMV / '80s All Over

• Archive Panic: When finished, the show was supposed to have at least 131 regular episodes, some of which are 2 hours long, while the number of Patreon bonus episodes hit 50 in February 2019. One reason Drew and Scott did a Clip Show for Christmas 2018 was to provide an easy in for new listeners. Of course, they had to deal with this trope all the time; many regular episodes had them reviewing upwards of 20 movies. This ultimately contributed to the show's demise, as they could not keep up the pace and maintain their other jobs, etc. Even so, there were ultimately 70 regular episodes and the bonus episodes have since been uploaded to iTunes, so it still falls under this trope.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Scott explains in the July 1981 episode that he was a big Dudley Moore fan as a youth and is looking forward to revisiting his post-Arthur films, though he also admits that none of them would be as good as that film. Cue Moore's next three films (Six Weeks, Lovesick, and Romantic Comedy) getting slammed hard by both him and Drew, and Scott groaning that after Romantic Comedy he doesn't want to see any more movies about Moore's romantic problems. Luckily they kinda liked the next one (the Unfaithfully Yours remake), breaking the streak, and noted in that review that Moore probably was happy not to be asked to prop up subpar material singlehandedly in that case. And then they got to Best Defense and Micki + Maude, and things got worse.
  • The show being Cut Short means that many episodes (especially the Patreon bonus ones) that had the hosts looking ahead or dreading post-April 1985 titles play as this now, because they will never get around to discussing them in full — at least not together. Drew's appearances on the Screen Drafts podcast have allowed him to discuss later '80s films in some depth (i.e. works of Steven Spielberg, David Cronenberg, and John Carpenter).
• Sacred Cow:
  • Spoofed in the episode description for December 1980 in which they demand that Popeye be treated in this matter. It's a movie that they genuinely love, but they do understand and accept it's not for everybody.
  • The appropriateness — or not — of this term being used to describe the 1982 Best Picture Oscar winner Gandhi is joked about in December 1982.
• So Bad, It's Good: Not the show, but the movies it covers sometimes fall under this for Drew and Scott. They don't really believe in the concept of "guilty pleasures" but admit to having a great time with silly films like Hercules (1983).
