Episode 111 – Short Circuit (1986)

Ally Sheedy standing with the Johnny 5 robot from the movie Short Circuit

If you saw this title and thought to yourself, “I haven’t seen that in a while,” or, “I’ve never seen that!” I have great news! You can watch this amazing movie-tie-in music video “Who’s Johnny” by El DeBarge. It stars Ally Sheedy, the arm of Johnny 5, a VHS tape of Short Circuit, and a literal cardboard cut-out of Steve Guttenberg. I am not making this up.
Also, I normally use an image from a promotional poster for the movie, but this one with Ally Sheedy’s horrible styling is just for you, Beth.

Episode 110 – Blade Runner (1982)

Just a vat grown girl
Livin’ in a neon world
She took the VK test and didn’t know

Just a city cop
Searching for humanity
He searched for memories so hard to find

Blade runner in a smoky room
A smell of blood and cheap street food
Keep on runnin’ down those darkened streets
It rains on and on and on and on

Strangers passin’
Up and down the cityscape
Their shadows searchin’ in the night
Replicants, people
Livin’ just to find emotion
Dyin’, somewhere in the night

C-beams glitter and are lost in time
Are my thoughts really mine?
All these moments are tears in rain
Just time to die

Some’ll live, doves will fly
Some are born a slave and die
Whoa, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Episode 96 – Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Crazy movie poster for the movie Big Trouble in Little China

If you have never seen this before, our commentary is not going to make a lick of sense. It won’t make much sense even if you have seen it, because this movie is ten tons of random, but it might help. Trust me.

Episode 83 – Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

Rick Moranis is nose to nose with the dog Quark as his children and the neighbors run across their noses on the movie poster for Honey I Shrunk the kids

The joke is that he sweeps the kids up and puts them in the garbage. Good jokes always have to be explained. Anyway, we love Rick Moranis.

Episode 82 – Groundhog Day (1993)

Billy Murray as Phil in groundhog day driving the truck with the groundhog.

In which we bring our friend Brian (@theahrbee) back to have a group therapy session. You may remember Brian from our Oregon Trail episode. This one… is a bit different. If there’s one thing to say about Brian, it’s that he commits to the bit.
