We can be reverent of and half a laugh along side nostalgia all at the same time.On this episode we're going back to 1987 with a movie that takes it back to the 1960's and reminds us that no matter the era, good times are quite simply good times. On this episode we go 'Back To The Beach'Acknowledging the years that have separated these two icons from their hey day, Frankie and Annette, have grown up and put aside their beach-partying lifestyle that is until they visit their daughter in Southern California and discover there's still some wild times left in them as the magic of the surf, the sun, the sand and the beach come back into their hearts.Full disclosure, these beach movies from the 1960's were cheesy back then and even now with this revisiting in Back To The Beach...it's still pretty damn cheesy, but I can't lie that I was taken aback by the genuine charm of it all. It's a collision of the 60's and the 80's with acts like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Fishbone adding some musical flair and fun cameos from people like OJ Simpson all the way to Pee Wee Herman who gives us a hell of a musical number.We got the unique pleasure of sitting down with director Lyndall Hobbs about getting the job, working with icons like Frankie and Annette, the humor of it all, it's lasting charm and so very much more....
