The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana are guestless as they discuss the 1984 cult classic (why?) sci-fi comedy (?) The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.  Peter Weller stars as the neurosurgeon, rock star, racecar driving hero (honestly, did the writer’s room just sit around and think up all the cool jobs and give them all to the same guy?).  Was there any logical reason he had to have all these jobs?  He falls in love with his, get this, dead wife's long-lost identical twin sister.  Why?  Never does this pay off in the movie.  Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown and John Lithgow are all along for the ride in a movie that was obviously set up to be a franchise when they announced that Buckaroo would be back to fight the World Crime League.  But alas, this box office bomb yielded no sequel.  Now we'll never know what that league is up to.  This might be one of those movies you have to see to believe, but the podcast is a must-listen.  Enjoy!Jason, Andy and Dana will discuss a 1986 movie weekly, breaking down all the nonsense there within. The 3 hosts all work together and everyone else around them was getting really annoyed at all the movie talk, so they decided to annoy the world in podcast form.Check out previous seasons to hear them discuss 1982, 1983, 1984 & 1985 movies, as well as a full season of Love Boat episodes (if that is your thing). Plus one-off specials and a weekly mini "what are we watching" podcast.#jezoo74 #aegonzo1 #danacapoferri #exciting_new
