Innerspace

This week, we take a fantastic voyage inside Martin Short, as Dante's In Fer November continues with 1987's Innerspace, directed by Joe Dante and starring Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, Meg Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Fiona Lewis, Robert Picardo, Wendy Schaal, Henry Gibson and Dick Miller. It's a delightfully silly adventure movie that neither host had seen, as J Mo nabbed it on Blu-ray earlier this year based largely on the novelty of Short having a leading role in a big, broad action movie. And to be clear, he is outrageously good in this -- an odd glimpse into the leading man career he could have had that never really materialized for him. Plus: Hayley's mom is hooked on Tubi, and Justin takes a field trip to The Marvels as we try to assess the MCU's future, Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, and how Disney has flattened their own theatrical revenues across the board. Other works discussed on this episode include Loki, Avengers: Endgame, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain Marvel, Oppenheimer, Bottoms, The Worst Person In The World, Past Lives, After Sun, Meet Dave, Mission: Impossible, and Clifford among others. Joe Dante Month wraps up next week with the Christmas horror comedy classic Gremlins, with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. If you'd like to watch the movie before next week's show, Gremlins is currently streaming in Canada on Crave, Starz and Hollywood Suite. See you then!
