Customer Reviews
Flight of the Navigator - Good Episode
Great episode on Flight of the Navigator. You’re right, that movie definitely has “E.T.” and “Never Ending Story” vibes for sure. I realized you captured in those statements what I always felt.
“You… are the Navigator!”
Buckaroo Banzai episode
Always good to hear BB discussion but it didn’t present any new info.
Production: Speaker mics need to be equalized; volume on Anthony much higher than the rest.
Krissy; Twice mis-quoted "No matter where you go..." for "Where ever you go..." But she was new to the film.
Anthony; Claims to be a BBI but attributed Reno's double belts to Pinky Carruthers. Called Lectroids, Lectoids. Mis-quoted "No matter where you go..." for "Where ever you go..."
Alice—also a professed BBI--twice mis-quoted "Where are your spurs at?” for "Where are your spurs from?"
I love 80’s movies
I didn’t grow up in the 80’s I’m a 90’s baby. But I have brothers and sisters who did and watched 80’s movies and talk about them all the time. My older sister told me about this podcast and I love it Krissy and Nathan have so much fun with this and I look forward to each episode. Some movies I have seen and some I haven’t this is a great resource for 80’s movies. Thank you Krissy and Nathan for this fun and awesome podcast.
