Buzzn The Tower Buzzn The Tower

Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday recording an episode about Short Circuit, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you why Max loves Howard The Duck. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions. Today on Buzzn The Tower we're going to recast The Breakfast Club. But what we found out is that other actors from the 1980s could play the role of a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal, or at least we think they can. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the forget about me to my don't you, Max Sanders. Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
Buzzn The Tower

Buzzn The Tower is a podcast dedicated to the movies of the 1980s. We cover everything from Howard The Duck to Terms Of Endearment. The actors, directors, and writers of this retro decade built a rich tapestry full of delights. So to stand out amongst such bright colors is really an amazing accomplishment. Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, and Winona Ryder stood out, and thirty years later still stand out. So grab your copy of the Handbook For The Recently Deceased and get ready to talk about the ghost with the most as we visit one of the best movies of the 1980s, Beetlejuice! I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Otho to my shrimp cocktail, Max Sanders. And with that...

80s movies had no shortage of robot love. Don't believe me...
R2D2 & C3P0, The Iron Giant, Robocop, The T-800, SICO from Rocky IV, Jinx from SpaceCamp, Max (not Sanders) from Flight Of The Navigator, and many more. But one robot for better or for worse stands out from the pack. In 1986 NOVA Robotics broke the mold when they introduced us to Strategic Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Transport, or S.A.I.N.T. as we call it, prototype number 5. Today on Buzzn The Tower we're gonna to disassemble Johnny 5 and talk about Max's favorite movie Short Circuit. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Ally Sheedy to my Steve Guttenberg, Max Sanders. And with that...

As of May, 2023 there are twenty-seven James Bond movies, but there is one in particular that stands out. Give me sharks, blackjack, martinis (shaken not stirred), ninjas, waterskiing, beautiful women, and Wayne Newton, and I'll show you Bond movie number sixteen. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll look at one of the darkest, grittiest, James Bond adventures ever made, License To Kill. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Moneypenny to my 007, Max Sanders. And with that...

There are movies and then there are career changing movies. Drew Barrymore can thank a loveable three foot tall extra terrestrial for putting her on the map. Sean Penn better add Mr. Hand to his holiday cards, because Fast Time At Ridgemont High was his coming out party. Michael Keating might be "Batman" but without Nigh Shift he might of ended up being Mr. Freeze. Nicolas Cage is basking in the moment, but owes it all to Valley Girl...for sure! And before Nicole Kidman was anything, she was a fifteen year old Aussie in the 80s classic, BMX Bandits. Despite all these examples there is one movie I left off that is solely responsible for launching the career of Hollywood's favorite actor. Had it not been for a sweet silly film about a mermaid in New York, Tom Hanks would be nothing more than a Bosom Buddy instead of the A-List star we know today. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll take a deep dive into the ocean and talk about the career changing Ron Howard film, Splash. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Freddie to my Allen, Max Sanders. And with that...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 1986 classic Highlander. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we join the gathering, take the quickening, and discuss Highlander until only one of us is standing…because as we all know, there can be only one. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the MacLeod to my Ramirez, Max Sanders. And with that...
