Silver Screen Sisters
Once upon a time, Sophie asked Billie, “Wanna start a podcast about 80s movies?”
Billie said, “Uh, no. I hate 80s movies.”
And the Silver Screen Sisters Podcast was born.
In truth, we just needed an education, as neither of us had watched many 80s movies. Who’s John Hughes? What are The Outsiders?
These are questions we ask. Because we have no clue.
And don’t even begin to ask us how to pronounce names.
We invite you to join us as we discover what makes the 80s such an iconic time for cinema and why people come back to them again and again.

Episode 23 - Our first time watching Platoon
In this episode, you'll hear Sophie provide an excellent explanation of ranks in the U.S. Army and Billie nerd out over Vietnam War documentaries. There's also a power outage! Thankfully, we do manage to talk about the Academy Award winning movie, Platoon. And we came to a definitive conclusion: If you're going to watch any movie about the Vietnam War, watch the one made by an actual veteran of the Vietnam War, Oliver Stone (who also won an Academy Award for Best Director for this film). This film stars Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, John C. McGinley, Forest Whitaker, and Johnny Depp to name a few.
