Mo and Max are 80s cinema nerds. They are on a quest to rank, debate, and offer fresh takes on the best of the best from the only decade that matters. From Arnold to Zoltar, they cover it all. That answer your question?

RoboCop (1987)
SERVE THE PUBLIC TRUSTPROTECT THE INNOCENTUPHOLD THE LAW_
DIRECTIVE 4: [CLASSIFIED]_
Omni Consumer Products really outdid itself when they introduced RoboCop to the city of Detroit. OCP had big plans for New Detroit, the ED-209, and officer Alex James Murphy, and we were all lucky enough to have front row seats to how it all played out. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll jump in our SUX 6000 and drive down memory lane as we chat about the best Detroit SYFY film ever made, RoboCop. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the LEWIS to my Murphy, Max Sanders. And with that...DEAD OR ALIVE YOU'RE COMING WITH ME! -
Footloose (1984)
Can't stop the music, Fast Forward, Urban Cowboy, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Beat Street, Staying Alive, Fame, Flashdash, and Dirty Dancing. Nine dance movies from the 80s that ALMOST had it all. What are they all missing? Kevin freaking Bacon! If Kenny Loggins' guitar made love to an American flag, their love child would be Footloose. Sprinkle in some Jon Lithgow and Diane Wiest, and you've got yourself a timeless hit. Ecclesiastes assures us that there is a time to every purpose under heaven, a time to laugh and a time to weep, a time to morn and there is a time to dance...and there's also a time to talk about Footloose on Buzzn The Tower. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as almost always the Willard to my Ren, Max Sanders and with that...

Big (1988)
The space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. Sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don't let me go. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. She said, a triscuit- a biscuit. Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. Ooh, Shelly's out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma's credit. I'm cool. I'm hot. Sock me in the stomach three more times.
In 1988 the movie Big broke records, solidified careers, and became an instant classic. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll find a Zoltar machine and make a wish as we talk about one of the greatest movies from the 80s, Big! I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me for the first time ever the Billy to my Josh Baskin, Bruce Amwake. And with that... -
Bloodsport (1988)
In 1988 the Muscles from Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme, appeared in his first leading role as Frank Dux, the first American fighter to win the Kumite. And as the end credits indicate this movie was based on the true events of Frank Dux life, who fought and won 329 matches between 1975 and 1980, was an undercover CIA operative who entered the Kumite to take down the Japanese mob, the Yakuza, and who with one arm tied behind his back beat up Chuck Norris. And while none of that may be true, it certainly won't stop us from loving Bloodsport and spending the next hour talking about it. So grab your ringside seat, place your bets, and get ready because today on Buzzn The Tower we talk all things Bloodsport. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Ray Jackson to my Frank Dukes, Max Sanders and with that…Kumite, Kumite, Kumite, Kumite!

Some Kind Of Wonderful With Special Guests Lea Thompson & Howard Deutch
A wise woman once told her love-stricken friend, “don't go mistaking paradise for a pair of long legs”. The legs she was referring to belonged to Amanda Jones (played by Lea Thompson). The advice was given by Watts (played by Mary Stuart Masterson), and the reluctant recipient of the sage warning was Keith (played by Eric Stoltz). Some Kind Of Wonderful was more than a movie, it was a love sonnet penned by John Hughes and directed by Howard Deutch. It checked all the boxes...

An Amazing Show!!!
Man this is such a great show!!! I love the 80s, so this is the podcast I didn’t know I needed!!
Great Episode
These guys have great pace and this is definitely a genre up my alley! Both of my parents grew up in the 80’s, so naturally I am a fan of 80’s movies. It is definitely one of my favorite eras of movies. I recently introduced my wife to Big because she didn’t grow up watching movies like I did. I thought it was interesting how yall mentioned Milly Bobby Brown because My wife said the exact same thing! Anyway, great feel overall and I will be checking out more!
Such a fun podcast!
These guys are hilarious and bring awesome facts and takes to the world of 80s cinema!
