They Called This a Movie Episode 92 - Gleaming the Cube (1989)

It's time to drop in and bust some gnarly heelflips as we bring you an episode we're really stoked about.  Brian's world was nothing but skateboarding, hassling squares, and having a Gen-X attitude. That is, until they killed his brother. Now, Brian's on a mission to shake up the world of boomers the only way he knows how: by gleaming their cubes.  That's right: this week, we're watching the Gen-Xer cult classic, Gleaming the Cube, so tighten those trucks and work on those frontslide flips as we talk about the lack of skateboarding, Tony Hawk's Pizza Hut truck, and try to figure out what exactly "gleaming the cube" means.  You can find us on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play Podcasts. If you want to see more from us, check out the website and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.   We are now part of Geek Vibes Nation, so be sure to check out their website and to look for us on their future podcast shows.  This week's episode features music from Dave Katusa and you can follow him on Instagram.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa.
