On this episode of ReelTalk, host R.L. Terry is joined by returning guest film critic E.J. Moreno to celebrate the 75th anniversary of All About Eve and the 30th anniversary of Showgirls. 
“Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be [a gripping show].” This year marks 75 years since All About Eve—Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s Oscar-winning backstage classic—first showed us that the spotlight can be both intoxicating and destructive. Starring the incomparable Bette Davis, It remains a cinematic masterclass in wit, ambition, and the quiet terror of being replaced by the next bright young thing.
Thirty years later, Paul Verhoeven’s audacious Showgirls gave us a much louder, more garish echo of those same ideas. What Margo Channing’s Broadway was to 1950, Nomi Malone’s Las Vegas was to 1995—a hall of mirrors reflecting fame, desire, and identity as performance.
One is hailed as one of the greatest films of all time; the other was once called one of the worst. But both confront the same truth: the cost of climbing the ladder to fame is often your sense of self.
So, we’re looking at two films separated by decades and sensibilities, but united by their fascination with ambition—the bright lights that promise everything, and the shadows that follow close behind.

On this episode of ReelTalk, host R.L. Terry is joined by his sister Michelle to review their experience at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort's newest theme park--the newest theme park in the country.
To put into perspective just how historic this moment is, you have to rewind the clock all the way back to 1999. That was the year Universal opened Islands of Adventure, the last entirely new theme park to debut at either Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort.
In the world of themed entertainment, that’s more than just a long wait—it’s a generational gap. An entire generation of fans grew up visiting Islands of Adventure as the ‘new’ park, and now, Epic Universe takes up that mantle.
This episode explores how Epic Universe connects to Universal’s movie heritage, and what it means for the future of storytelling in the parks.

On this week's ReelTalk, host R.L. Terry invites music professor Dr. Steven DiBlasi back to the show to countdown their Top Ten picks for movie songs of the 1980s. What a decade--the decade when cinema sang! 
When you look back at the movies of the 1980s, the songs are just as much a part of the experience as the stories themselves. This was the decade when pop hooks, rock anthems, and big, emotional ballads didn’t just play in the background—they defined the moment.
A single song could capture the mood of a film and, at the same time, capture the spirit of an entire generation. And what’s really striking is how many of those tracks are still with us. They’re still on playlists, still belted out at karaoke, still instantly recognizable from the first few notes.
The 80s gave us movie songs that became cultural landmarks, and in a lot of ways, they’ve never stopped playing.
From Danger Zone to the Wind Beneath My Wings, Ryan and Steven are counting down their top ten favorite movie songs!
