Lam & Shane Talk Howard the Duck - What The Duck? Randomness..

*** SPOILER TALK *** Check out our YouTube Video for this Podcast! https://youtu.be/OxhGJghA7tU This is the part where I usually just copy and paste from the wiki page,  but this movie is not the best movie that I ever seen.  I can't even  label it a good movie.  It's not bad, but it's not that good.  It's  better than some movies, but we can't really compare to other 80s  movies.  This is something that we talked about where we are all over  the place.  Somehow we were able to tie in with video games and started  to talk about other movies. I just realized that I been typing too much  on here and decided to still copy and past from Wikipedia about Howard  the Duck. Howard the Duck is a 1986 American science fiction comedy film directed  by Willard Huyck and starring Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, and Tim  Robbins. Based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, the film  was produced by Gloria Katz and written by Huyck and Katz, with George  Lucas as executive producer. The screenplay was originally intended to  be an animated film, but the film adaptation became live-action because  of a contractual obligation. Although several TV adaptations of Marvel  characters had aired during the preceding 21 years, this was the first  attempt at a theatrical release since the Captain America serial of  1944. Lucas proposed adapting the comic book following the production of  American Graffiti (1973). After multiple production difficulties and  mixed response to test screenings, Howard the Duck was released in  theaters on August 1, 1986. Upon its release, the film was a critical  and commercial failure, and was criticized for its humor, performances,  inconsistent tone, and the appearance of the title character, though the  effects and soundtrack were mostly praised. In the years since, it has  been considered among the worst films of all time although it has later  become popular among audience and gained a cult following through home  video releases.[4] It was nominated for seven Razzie Awards (winning  four), and made about US$38 million (US$15 million domestically)  compared to its US$30-37 million budget.
