80's Action movie Draft is here, and this week Born to Watch does something completely different.
Instead of reviewing a single film, the boys take on the ultimate challenge: building the best possible lineup of 80s action movies in a full snake-draft format.
The rules are simple. Every pick must come from an action movie released between 1980 and 1989. Each round flips the order, meaning strategy becomes just as important as knowledge.
From the very first pick, it becomes clear that this isn't just about choosing great movies.
It’s about timing, risk, and making sure no one else gets what they want.
As the draft unfolds, the boys navigate nostalgia, personal favourites, and the pressure to make the right call under time constraints.
There are moments of confidence, moments of panic, and plenty of unexpected turns as certain films disappear from the board faster than anticipated.
Throughout the episode, the conversation dives into what made 80s action movies so iconic. The era of larger-than-life heroes, unforgettable one-liners, and pure entertainment that still holds up today.
The draft quickly becomes a mix of strategy and chaos.
Some picks are calculated, others are emotional, and a few are clearly designed to throw everything off.
Along the way, the boys share stories about growing up with these films, watching them on repeat, and the impact they had on their love of movies.
As always, expect plenty of laughs, strong opinions, and the kind of banter that defines Born to Watch.
By the end, each host has built their own unique lineup, and the debate shifts to one final question.
Who actually won?
Was it the best collection of films, the smartest drafting strategy, or simply the ability to survive the chaos?
This episode is packed with nostalgia, competition and some of the most fun discussions the podcast has had.
If you love movies, especially from the 80s, this is one you don't want to miss.
