Rusted Junk - The 80s Movies Podcast

Hey there! Ever wondered what happens when nostalgia meets modern filmmaking? Find out with our latest episode where we dive deep into the much-anticipated Beverly Hills Cop 4: Axel F! Trust us, we’ve got a lot to say.

We kick things off reminiscing about the golden days of Axel Foley and how Eddie Murphy's iconic character made us laugh and cheer. But, spoiler alert, this new instalment takes a sharp turn. From the promising start to the puzzling helicopter scene, we break down where the film lost its way.

We also chat about the return of some familiar faces, like Paul Reiser, Judge Reinhold, and Serge, and how they've aged (or not) over the years. Plus, we couldn't resist throwing in some fun comparisons to other classic reboots and sequels gone wrong.

So, grab your popcorn, sit back, and join us for a candid and hilarious discussion on why some things are better left in the past. And hey, if you're feeling nostalgic too, drop us a comment and let us know your thoughts!
