Episode 104 - The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension

Where are we going? Planet 10! When? Real soon! Yes, the MagHuge team finally gets around to the uber-geek cult classic to end all uber-geek cult classics: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! This gem was ignored when released to theaters in June of 1984, but soon found an audience on home video who discovered a unique sci-fi/comedy/action/adventure epic about a famous neurosurgeon/physicist/test-pilot/rock-musician and his team of specialized misfits who become involved in an interdimensional space war between alien Lectroids. Almost impossible to describe in one sentence, you’ll just have to trust us that this one is a pleasantly weird film experience that rewards repeat viewings. If you haven’t already seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it right now! Then come back to our show where we gush over its many charms. Featuring early roles for Peter Weller, Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow and Jeff Goldblum - plus a solid supporting cast with Clancy Brown, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Hedaya and Vincent Schiavelli - Buckaroo Banzai gets high marks for being both of its time, but also well ahead of its time. You either love it or hate it, but one thing is for sure: No matter where you go, there you are. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:36 - Mindhunter (Netflix, 2019) | 9:05 - Alita: Battle Angel (2019) | 13:10 - Ready Or Not (2019) | 17:30 - Carnival Row (Amazon, 2019) vs The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix, 2019) | 24:08 - Lost 80’s Live | 28:15 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Jason Hill - Main Titles - (Mindhunter Original Series Soundtrack) | Tom Holkenborg - Motorball - Alita Battle Angel (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Brian Tyler - Badass Bride - Ready Or Not (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Headquarters Music - The Hide and Seek Song - Ready Or Not (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Nathan Barr - Carnival Row - Theme Song | Daniel Pemberton - The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Boys Don’t Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy (Live) | The Vapors - Turning Japanese (Live) | Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days (Live) | Wang Chung - Should I Stay Or Should I Go? / Everybody Have Fun Tonight | Clips from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) | Michael Boddicker - Buckaroo Banzai - End Title Theme
