Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) - Because You Watched Starcrash Because You Watched Starcrash
-
- Komedie
“I had a miserable time tonight because of you.”
It’s our first Francis Ford Coppola joint on Because You Watched Starcrash! And Kathleen Turner! Oh, and some other guy who was once named Coppola is in it, too. Your Distinguished Professors watched an early entry in the Nicholas Cage-verse, Peggy Sue Got Married, and now you’re going to hear about it! Topic discussed include Madonna’s genitals, the right level of weird vs. Nicholas Cage-levels of weird, Charlie’s insane appearance at the class reunion, a brief comparison with Somewhere in Time, the transition point from the 50s to the 60s and yet another appearance of David Sirota’s Back to Our Future, the inevitable contrast with Back to the Future, Charlie’s lack of transformation or growth, a brief discussion of the Ordo Templi Orientis and the Oddfellows, John Carradine’s last movie, what we’d do if we could go back in time knowing what we know now, the appeal of the 1950s for white and middle- to upper-class folks, the fine soundtrack, more casual 1980s anti-Asian racism, Michael’s book’s dedication as the only evidence this isn’t a dream, the Cage vs. Turner libel lawsuit, Charlie’s near-murder of Peggy Sue, Charlie as the worst of the 1950s and the worst of the 1980s, lots of subtlety, a brief moment of praise for Sofia Coppola, the role of wish fulfillment here, Michael as the flawed critique of the 1950s, the deep mystery of the grandparents, Peggy Sue’s change of perception, Jim Carey as a force for sanity and normalcy in comparison, and a debate about whether this is a “movie” or a “film.”
