* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The obvious one is that the show was supposed to cover the entire 1980s over five years' worth of shows, but it ultimately ended a little over halfway through the decade with April 1985. This meant that a lot of iconic movies teased in earlier episodes were never fully covered -- ''Film/TheGoonies'' (June 1985), ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' (July 1985), ''Film/TopGun'' (May 1986), ''Film/FatalAttraction'' (September 1987), ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' (May 1989), ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'' (June 1989), etc. On the other hand, in a sort of SpiritualSuccessor Drew would participate in the ''Screen Drafts'' podcast episode covering the Creator/DavidCronenberg filmography in May 2020 and discussed the two '80s films of his the show hadn't been able to cover -- ''Film/TheFly1986'' and ''Film/DeadRingers'' -- at length in a similar manner to this show.

* {{Corpsing}}: Drew and Scott's casual, generally upbeat discussions sometimes have them breaking into fits of laughter -- often when they're discussing particularly ridiculous horror movies (as in September 1981, when they discuss a bunch of them in a row).

* ColbertBump: One of Drew and Scott's goals for this show is to provide this trope for '80s movies that don't get talked up much in favor of SmallReferencePools. Several bonus episodes examine which movies managed this with the listeners, with ''Used Cars'', ''Road Games'', ''Film/{{Deathtrap}}'', ''Film/TheVerdict'', and ''Birdy'' being particularly popular. In the Feburary 1983 episode, they especially push ''Film/LocalHero'' because, while it is not their favorite film of that particular month, they are pretty sure the listeners already know about/have seen ''Film/{{Videodrome}}'' and/or ''Film/TheKingOfComedy'' and want to give a hand up to a smaller but also worthy film.
