2023/01/31

Before playing Simon in The Saint, Chris in Heat, Bruce Wayne in Batman Forever, Doc Holliday in Tombstone, Jim Morrison in The Doors, Madmartigan in Willow, and Iceman in Top Gun, Val Kilmer graced the big screen as Chris Knight in Real Genius! This movie had it all, science, adventure, romance, popcorn. If you've never seen it shame on you, if you have get read because we're about to blind you with science.

Sixteen Candles (1984)

Buzzn The Tower ·

2023/01/17

John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall. Let me say that again, John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall. The 1980s were dominated with coming of age movies, but Sixteen Candles was different. It borrowed some of the raunch of Porky's, the angst of Fast Times At Ridgemont High, and the comedy of National Lampoon's Vacation. Even surrounded by a decade of teen comedic romps, Sixteen Candles managed to stand out. It did something unique. It's story wasn't just about the jock or the

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Buzzn The Tower ·

2023/01/10

At the age of 9, life could not be any better. I had a Nintendo, WWF wrestling, and had just watched Back To The Future a couple years earlier. My days were spend eating Teddy Grahams and drinking Snapple and the weekends were reserved for my fill of Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse. I was happy, I was content. Little did I know that true joy, true happiness, was right around the corner. June of 1988 the groundbreaking film Who Framed Roger Rabbit changed the game forever. Ever juvenile emotion I had was

Lethal Weapon (1987)

2023/01/03

What better way to kickoff 2023 than to revisit Richard Donner's second best film ever, The Goonies of course being the first. Riggs, Murtaugh, and of course Mr. Joshua. I like my Busey burning his arm with a lighter or telling Utah to "give me two." Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll deep dive in the buddy cop film that set the bar for all buddy cop films, 1987's Lethal Weapon. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Riggs to my Murtaugh, Max Sanders. And with that, I'm getting to old for this

Revisiting Prancer With Rebecca Tickell

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/12/27

About a year ago, Buzzn The Tower had the absolute honor of having Rebecca Tickell on the show. If you don't know who Rebecca is, let me refresh your memory. In 1989 there was a movie called Prancer. It's about a farm girl nurses a wounded reindeer she believes is one of Santa's, hoping to bring it back to health in time for Christmas. Her holiday spirit inspires those around her, something her disheartened father is having trouble understanding. You might remember her father, Sam Elliot, from such

Willow (1988)

It is a time of dread… Seers have foretold the birth of a child who will bring about the downfall of the powerful queen Bavmorda. Seizing all pregnant women in the realm, the evil queen vows to destroy the child when it is born...If that doesn't scream family movie to you, I don't know what does. George Lucas, Ron Howard, Val Kilmer, R2-D2, and half the Ewoks that lived on Endor's moon gave us two full hours of magic, mystery, and of course romance. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll inhale Dust of

A Christmas Story Christmas

2022/11/29

Tis the season for Dudley Moore dressed as an elf, Cousin Eddie kidnapping Clark's boss, a holiday party at Nakatomi Plaza, and Bill Murray being visited by three ghosts. And while Santa Claus The Movie, Christmas Vacation, Die Hard, and Scrooged are classics, we cannot forget the gold standard for holiday movies. Of course I'm talking about 1983's A Christmas Story. In fact it's so treasured it runs on a 24 hour loop every Christmas Eve through Christmas Day. But today we're not talking about A

Neal Page was thankful to finally make it home to his family, and Del Griffith was thankful to have a new friend and not be alone on Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that every Thanksgiving I get to watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles despite ugly face crying during the last five minutes. The movies of the 1980s have brought so much joy to so many people. Here we are, four decades later, ranking debating and laughing about the greatest films ever made.

Who Won The 80s?

2022/11/15

The poet laureate Connor MacLeod of the clan MacLeod once said "there can be only one", and those words ring as true today as they did when he uttered them thousands of years ago. Winning isn't everything it's the only thing and the 80s were filled with winners! Actors, actresses, directors, writers, producers, and even composers who dominated the cinema during the best decade of film deserve their recognition. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll provide the definitive list of movie magic makers who

Thanos Snapping The Work Of John Landis

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/11/08

When Thanos collected all six of the Infinity Stones, the Mad Titan snapped his fingers erasing half of all living things in the universe. Don't get me wrong that sounds terrible, but at least the remaining half had access to the Three Amigos and Coming To America. And that leads us to today's episode. Imagine if you dare, a Thanos snap that would murder half of the 1980s John Landis collection. I know it's too hard to even consider but today on Buzzn The Tower that's exactly what we'll do, as we

Top 5 Worst 80s Movies

2022/11/01

When your spirit animal is a trash panda it's hard to imagine not liking any type of rotting food you find. In fact I've been quoted as saying the following..."Caddyshack 2 isn't that bad of a movie""I love all the Police Academy films""Guildor aside, Dolph Lundgren does a decent job as He-Man in Masters Of The Universe"And Max, well we all know he has no taste at all. But deep within the hallowed halls of our 80s film library, there exists some movies we simply can't stand. A movie or two that

100th Episode Celebration

Right now, Max is looking at me a little strange because he doesn't know that I completely hijacked the show and we're not going to be talking about Hellraiser. But there's a reason for that. I'll be going through two important things that are key to the success of Buzzn The Tower. Number one, Max's engagement and all things related to it that are 80s. And number two, a speed review of the 99 episodes that came prior to this 100th episode. Strap in, get ready, because today on Buzzn The Tower we

Hellraiser (1987)

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/10/18

Clive Barker is the most terrifying human being on earth. It wasn't enough that he wrote the novel The Hellbound Heart, he then needed to write a screenplay based on the novel and direct it. And as a result, we have Hellraiser. This film would make Cronenberg puke, Wes Craven scream, and Max Sanders...well we'll have to see what it did to him. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll become the explorers of the further regions of experience as we deep dive into Hellraiser. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as

Recasting A Nightmare On Elm Street

2022/10/11

Welcome to October, a month dedicated to the horror films of the 80s! Freddy, Jason, Michael (Myers not Jackson) and of course Pinhead to name but a few. What better way to kick off the month then to revisit a true classic…and then recast it. Written and Directed by Wes Craven, A Nightmare on Elm Street started a franchise that has collectively grossed over 472 million dollars. But more importantly, has made generations of children (and some adults) afraid to fall asleep. Today on Buzzn The Tower,

80s Movie Search & Destroy

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/10/04

If I had to pick one 80s movie character to kill Max, it would be Howard The Duck. I'd sit quietly as he unleashed a barrage of round house kicks to Max’s face, compliments of Duck Fu. Watching him die by the hands of the very thing he loves would bring me such pleasure. But to keep things fair, I'd have to allow Max to choose an 80s movie character to defend himself. And that my friends is what we're going to be talking about. On today’s episode, we'll be choosing our killer and protector, as I

Recasting Adventures In Babysitting

2022/09/27

It was the summer of 1990, I was 11 years old and about to start middle school. Everything around me was changing, my body, my feelings, especially my feelings. I became keenly aware that not only girls existed, but they were magical. On an otherwise normal Saturday night, my mom rented a movie for us to watch called Adventures In Babysitting. It was this evening that all the changes I'd been going through all seemed to make sense. On that night, I fell in love with Elisabeth Shue. And while this

Would you rather kiss your mother in an attempt to get your father to break it up and have them fall in love so you'll be born in the future...or...have your dad tell you that you're the best at kissing and share that with your cousin while on a teeter totter in the desert?
