There will always be a place for hangout movies, especially the nostalgia-driven kind on the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network. They don’t always have to be good movies. Some can be completely fluff made of marshmallow. Nonetheless, they have an endearing quality for those that embraced them at whatever age they discovered them. That is especially the case this week on the show.

For their 81st episode, our two surfer-dude film critics, punk survivor dads, and Big Kahuna school teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan welcome back special guest Ken Reid, host of the popular TV Guidance Counselor Podcast to the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast. He returns to presents another cult classic, namely Back at the Beach from 1987 starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello for the discussion. Who rides the wave and who wipes out for this nostalgic flick. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
