The Beastmaster
We review the 1982 "sword and sorcery" film that helped shape our understanding of love, pets, revenge and sacrifice.
Trying not to ruin our childhood one show at a time
Does It Hold Up is a rewatch podcast with a simple rule. We only cover the movies and shows that raised us, and at the end of every episode each of us has to answer one question honestly: does it hold up? Brad, his brother Brock and his sister-in-law Amanda sit down with a movie they loved as kids and watch it again with grown-up eyes. Some of it is better than we remembered. A lot of it is child sacrifice, questionable parenting and montages that go on for a very long time. We talk about what we noticed at eight, what we notice now, which scenes still land and which ones we cannot believe our parents let us watch. Seventeen episodes from 2020 and 2021 cover The Beastmaster, Legend, Poltergeist, Night Court, Clash of the Titans, The World's Greatest Athlete, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Spacehunter, G.I. Joe, Road House, WarGames, Jaws, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Friday the 13th and Halloween. New episodes are on the way. Fair warning: we swear, we spoil everything, and we do not always agree.

We review the 1982 "sword and sorcery" film that helped shape our understanding of love, pets, revenge and sacrifice.
A quick preview of some of the upcoming episodes.
Directed by Scott and staring Cruise .. no not that movie .. this other 1985 piece of "art"!
Don't be afraid of the clown be afraid of the poor parenting.
As painful as it might be to listen to ... we assure you it was doubly as painful to watch. Enjoy!
So we found another 1980's movie with child sacrifice. What was up with the 1980's?
Come and enjoy all the montages with us.
We review this John Hughes classic and ask the question "What happened to 'the Geek'?"
