The 2nd movie we ever discussed, on Dec. 18th, 2018. It’s ANOTHER musical (kind of)! We were still working on the title of the podcast. Popi did a hero’s job to get this under 2 hours. You’re welcome. Note that at this point we were attempting to do the pre-watch and post-watch in one sitting.
Better establishes key elements of our pre-watch structure: “Do you recall seeing this in the theatre?”, “Twitter Synopsis”, “Top 3 Memorable Scenes/Quotes”, “Do you have any merch?”, “Where were you?”. Aaron sadly confuses the Pinto with a Gremlin and/or AMC Pacer, and also can’t count to 11. This is when Popi adds “Social Importance” and “Quotability” to our rating items, and it’s obvious we don’t yet know what the hell we were up to (sorry about the echo on Popi’s voice, that’s Aaron’s fault with a bad audio set up).
If you’re a fan of Omar Sharif, Peter Cushing, Freddie Laker, and/or LeRoy Neiman paintings, this may be the episode for you...or not. Aaron lays out the case for romantic story lines ruining a good action movie.
Enjoy our tween/teen version of 80’s nostalgia - like trying to fix the vertical hold to see a boob on Cinemax, skateboarding, Pacman fever, Blaupunkts, the school stress dream, and trying to figure out girls. Our adult selves attempt to untangle stereotypes about male prison rape, homosexuality, the preoccupation of the financial media on interest rates, and American isolationism...clumsily.
Alternate episodes titles: “There’s always a bigger nerd”, “Who wouldn’t try the banana?”, ”It all sounds like some bad movie”, “The pigeons are the real heroes”, “Underage bestiality is really beyond the pale”, “Our boob demographic is not getting enough”.
It may take the Doctor’s 4 hours to get the smile off YOUR face, but only if you get through the whole damned thing, which is held together with seaweed and snot. This podcast should win an academy award for technical excellence, because it was literally filmed underwater. Latrine!
