In this episode of The Forgotten Flix Podcast, we’re mulling over the moral conundrum posed by this week’s movie: “Wherever you go… there you are.”
Jason says it’s a statement on man’s inability to consider how our treatment of others effects us all on a cosmic scale. Joel replies by belching out the word “bullshit” and calls Jason “John SmallBerries” over and over again in a mocking, sing-song falsetto.
So, you may have guessed from that insipid exchange of intellectual vapidness that this week we’re talking about The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)!
Oh, and did we mention that we’re joined by none-other-than the podcasting king and purveyor of B-movie love himself, Kevin Bachelder (Tuning Into Sci-Fi T.V., Saturday B-Movie Reel podcasts)?!?

It was directed and produced by W. D. Richter, and concerns the efforts of the multi-talented Dr. Buckaroo Banzai, a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, and rock musician, to save the world by defeating a band of inter-dimensional aliens called Red Lectroids from Planet 10.

Next week we’re talking about… kill-kill-kill…ma-ma-ma… yep, it’s the slasher classic that explores the question, “What wouldn’t a mother do for her little boy?” Friday the 13th (1980)!
