Does This Still Work‪?‬ George Romaka & Joe Dixon

Released after 9/11 and the start of the war in Iraq this film left American audiences pretty damn angry. Criminal GIs and low life, if not outright incompetent military officers, were not going with the prevailing zeitgeist to say the least. Well, it’s now been over 20 years, why not  join the boys as they explore how this film plays today?

It’s an old movie that George has never even heard but Joe sure has. He watched it in real time, so you know it’s old, and so is he, but does it still work?

Show Notes Look, a movie can be dumber than a box of rocks and still work…or not. We will discuss. But here is the real question, were drinking and dining establishments wildly understaffed in the late 80s? Because every place in this film looks packed and yet only one or two people seem to be on staff. WTF?

Technically, a child abduction movie but as Disney is the producer the abduction is done for laughs. You see the abductor is an alien spaceship that sounds an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman. Definitely a kid’s movie but does it still work?

Living machines from out of space having nothing better to do with their time  help a bunch of New Yorkers hang on to a condemned building. Does that sound stupid? Sure. But maybe it still works?

It’s the movie that launched a sequel, a cartoon, a TV show and a remake. But does that mean it still works? Also, just how many montages can a 90 minute movie have? A lot of them, evidently.
