'Never Seen It' - Episode 34 - 'Secret of My Success' is oh so '80s

Is there any 1980s hit movie that has been more totally forgotten by time than Michael J. Fox's Wall Street comedy The Secret of My Success? Although it grossed more than Dirty Dancing, Robocop and Lethal Weapon, it hasn't had much in the way of staying power. Is that because it's bad or has it been unfairly overlooked? I must admit, despite being a Michael J. Fox fan, I've never seen, and neither had my wife Liz Rosado, which is why we're doing it an analysis of it for the most recent episode of our 'Never Seen It' podcast.

Perhaps it's fitting that we chose this film since between the Roseanne reboot and Ready Player One, nostalgia for the Reagan era seems to have reached a fever pitch -- for better or worse.

Is this "romantic" comedy just one long Ayn Rand fever dream? Click on the link below to listen and find out.
