Episode 151 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension *Listener's Choice*

Don't tell me you've seen everything if you haven't seen this king of cult films. Buckaroo Banzai is a brain surgeon, a rock star and an interdimensional hero!  He leads a ragtag group of misfits called the Hong Kong Cavaliers who task themselves with saving Earth from doom at the hands of aliens from the 8th dimension.  If this sounds weird, it is. 'Buckaroo Banzai' was a commercial flop when released, but has since developed a formidable fan base.  It even caught the attention of Wes Anderson, who paid tribute to the end credits sequence in his ending for 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.'  The film is a favorite of Drew, a new guest who joins the discussion.  He sings the praises of this cult film, but Andrew has harsher words to direct to this polarizing, oddball excursion.
