#60 - "One Crazy Summer" (1986) with Nicholas Pepin from the "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast

This 80’s flick is sometimes described as “Better Off Dead Goes To The Beach” because it reunites young leading man John Cusack with writer-director Savage Steve Holland for a tale of teenage angst and the quest to find love. This time the quest takes us to Nantucket where our lead gets involved with cute and fuzzy bunnies, snobby preppies, insane mechanics, a killer dolphin with rabies, and a hippie-ish singer about to lose her house to a very rich lobster restaurant magnate. So don’t miss the ferry and don’t forget to pay your tab for Granny’s dinner as Tim Williams and guest co-host Nicholas Pepin from "Pop Culture Roulette" Podcast discuss “One Crazy Summer” on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback podcast!  Just like "One Crazy Summer" has no deleted scenes, we have no additional trivia from this episode.  Sources: Wikipedia, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes  https://www.fastcompany.com/3055116/the-long-strange-journey-of-better-off-dead-director-savage-steve-holland https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/85651/one-crazy-summer/#film-details https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-chart/weekend/1986/08/08  https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/summer-of-86-better-off-demi-one-crazy-summer/  Diane Franklin: The Excellent COMEDY of the Last American, French-Exchange Babe of the 80s: The Better Off Dead Movie Tribute Book (Available on Amazon)  Send us an email or reach out to us on social media to let us know what you liked, what you loved, what we may have missed, or what 80's movie we should discuss next!  https://linktr.ee/80sFlickFlashback
