Buckaroo Banzai Rocks

Greetings, Programs!  

 

Peter Weller and John Lithgow each made memorable movies in the ‘80s. Why was their comic book styled project in 1984 a bust at the box office?  JediShua and shazbazzar have a couple ideas after watching this cult-classic with their families this week.  In a truly #TechnoRetro treat, this movie emulates everything eighties while being markedly different from anything else at the time.   

 

Then the ‘Dads dare to dive into the sweltering summer heat in their attics to find a favorite musical toy — with some totally new additions.  

 

PLUS:  Batman on Amazon Prime, Lieutenant Uhura in space, Jim Henson makes the news in a Dark Crystal documentary and PBS special, Dune gets a deserved 3 hour fan edit, and holograms and hoverboards bring the future even closer to the present.

   

Don’t forget to send your JAWS Seaquels, ARMADA insights, Honey Nut Cheerios memories or anything #TechnoRetro to us via electronic-M to [e-mail].  Leave us a voicemail by calling us at (209)TR-TRDad, that’s [phone]. 

 

 

Will we ever see Buckaroo Banzai vs The World Crime League?  The future is yet untold…
