18 Again! (1988) Movie Resurrection Review

Get ready to travel back to the glorious, and utterly bizarre, 80s with Shady Jay and Tim as they resurrect the cinematic masterpiece (or is it a mess-terpiece?) '18 Again!' 👴↔️👦

Join us as we dive deep into the world of body-swapping grandpas, questionable fashion choices, and the kind of comedy that only the 80s could produce. We're dissecting every cringe-worthy moment, from the awkward romance to the truly baffling special effects.

Did George Burns nail the role of a teenager trapped in an old man's body, or did he just create a timeless example of 80s absurdity? 🤔 We're asking the hard-hitting questions, like: 'How many times can one movie use the phrase 'rad'?' and 'Is there a limit to 80s synth music?'

Prepare for a wild ride of nostalgia, snark, and maybe even a few moments of genuine disbelief. Did '18 Again!' stand the test of time, or is it destined to remain a relic of a truly wild era? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 👇

Freaked. A great comedy no one seems to remember. Has Randy Quaid in it.

I can see why it didnt do well if people expecting to see George Burns were disappointed because he's barely in the movie.


The Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School is from the same era but actually shows the star Dangerfield having to go back to college.

Screwballs (1983)

In the wake of Porky's this nice little import from Canadia is absolutely worth a look.

I love this movie because it's one of the few times that you can believe they ARE that person. Charlie Schlater did an outstanding and believable job as George Burns. One thing that also sells it, which you both neglected to mention, is George Burns' voice over. As a woman, I loved watching the transformation of David into Jack, a confident, intelligent man with a great sense of humor. So sexy.
