The Summer of ’82 at 40 with Scott Mendelson: June 25-27, 1982

June 25-27, 1982: One of the biggest weekends for film geek and genre culture arrives this week. Despite their popularity and legacy, none of them were that well received or did much work at the box office. We have BLADE RUNNER, JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING, cult classic MEGAFORCE and the always funny Monty Python in LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. What a very loaded weekend with lots of favorites and we have room for it all! We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s weekly top 40 from the week these films were released.
