Remember the smell of popcorn, the hum of a VCR, and the thrill of picking a movie from a crowded video store shelf? Two Dollar Late Fee is a podcast that brings that feeling back, diving deep into the films that defined a decade. Hosts Zak and Dustin, self-proclaimed 80s ninjas, guide conversations that are less about cold critique and more about warm appreciation, exploring everything from iconic soundtracks to the hidden gems you might have missed. The show often features interviews with the actors and creators who were there, adding firsthand context to the movies you love. It’s a consistently positive space for nostalgia, dedicated to the joy these films still bring. Furthermore, this podcast is also the home for Territory Marks, a recurring segment with professional wrestler Paul London that steps away from the cinema to revisit the vibrant, chaotic glory days of 1980s professional wrestling. Every episode is a celebration, whether it’s breaking down a teen comedy, analyzing a sci-fi classic, or sharing stories from the squared circle. New episodes arrive every Sunday, ready to transport you. It’s a welcoming listen for anyone who still feels that particular magic from the era, all without any pesky late fees.
