Over The Top (1987) - The Greatest Movie...

The Salty Nerd
About this episode

The Salty Nerds talk about the Sylvester Stallone classic Over The Top (1987). A film about a man and his son who like to drive big rig trucks and break arms arm-wrestling.

When his ex-wife is in the hospital, truck driver Lincoln Hawk decides to pick up his estranged son from military school and try to reconnect after years of not caring. But jealous grandpa Robert Loggia isn't having any of that father-son bonding nonsense and sends goons to kidnap his grandson back!

Now, the only way Hawk can win back the love of his child is to become an arm wrestling champion! And he's about to go... OVER THE TOP!

Flight of the Navigator (1986)
For an 80's sci-fi family movie, Flight of the Navigator holds up remarkably well. The child actor is great, the cutting-edge computer effects hardly show their age, and the plot is more well-considered than most movies of the era. That's probably why we were both so taken with i ... Show More
