Some movies are more than just rewatchable, they feel like pure comfort. In this episode of My Retro Comfort Movies, we’re heading back to the video store era for a laid-back look at 80s and 90s favorites that still deliver laughs, nostalgia, action, quotable moments, and that perfect Friday night rental feeling.

In this episode of Rental Rack Rejects, I dig into Second Sight (1989), the strange supernatural detective comedy starring John Larroquette and Bronson Pinchot. With two big sitcom stars, a goofy paranormal premise, and pure late-80s studio chaos, this is exactly the kind of blatantly bad movie I still have a soft spot for.

The summer of 1987 wasn’t just another movie season. It was a full-blown video store fever dream. From massive action classics like Predator and RoboCop, to vampire cool with The Lost Boys, horror favorites like The Gate, comedies, family hits, cult oddities, and bold studio swings, the summer of ’87 delivered something for almost every kind of movie fan. In this episode, we’re looking back at why Summer 1987 stands out as one of the most exciting and stacked movie seasons of the entire 1980s. Not just because of the biggest hits, but because of the variety, personality, and sheer rental-shelf energy packed into those few months. So grab your popcorn, rewind the tape, and let’s revisit the wild, weird, and wonderful movie summer of 1987.
