The Weekly Movie Throwdown Episode 014: '80s TV Adaptations Month Starts with a Good One: 21 Jump Street (2012)

In this episode we kick off a month of '80s TV show adaptations with one of the best: Lord and Miller's 21 Jump Street from 2012. The film stays fairly true to the series but the tone is way lighter—something we think might be necessary to successfully bring one of these now-campy shows to the big screen. The R rating helps, too. We discuss all of that, along with a whole lot more.
