Ep. 033 - Buckaroo Banzai

Episode 33

Monday, November 3, 2025 • Duration 01:24:08

For September 30th, 2015, Tim, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the Netflix drama BLOODLINE starring Kyle Chandler and show favourite Ben Mendelssohn, Tom Hardy potentially taking up the pointy-haired mantle of Wolverine from current champ Hugh Jackman, the unparalleled precision and detail of Stanley Kubrick's pre-production research process in the fascinating documentary STANLEY KUBRICK'S BOXES, and much, much more before our featured throwback review of THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION from director W.D. Richter.

So be sure to calibrate your Oscillation Overthruster, call up The Hong Kong Cavaliers, don't ever be mean, and let's see if we can prevent an interdimensional race war before we are all wiped out by the accidental nuclear holocaust.

Monday, October 27, 2025 • Duration 01:35:03

So slide into your Splinter Cell sneak suit, and let's see if we can keep up with this speeding convoy of black GMC suburbans before we all get bagged up and stuffed into the walls of a suburban Arizona bungalow.
