Weekend At Bernie's

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/09/13

With great power comes great responsibility. Hosting a podcast dedicated to the best decade of film ever is not something we take lightly. The Goonies, Empire Strikes Back, Breakfast Club, the list of classics goes on forever. Carpenter, Spielberg, Hughes, Lucas, the 80s had it all! So for this reason it is our duty, nay our privilege to talk about one of the greatest films ever made, any decade. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll deep dive into Weekend At Bernie's. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as

Favorite 80s Movie Vehicles

2022/09/06

An 80s movie without a choice vehicle is like a groom without a best man. Don't believe me, here are just a few to make my point... Cobretti’s 1950 Mercury Monterey Coupe Stiles "Wolfmobile" Uncle Buck's 1977 brown Mercury Marquee Brougham Joel's dad's 1979 Porsche 928 Cousin Eddie's RV Wagon Queen Family Truckster Em-50 Urban Assault Vehicle from Stripes Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll list our Favorite 80s Movie Vehicles.

Favorite 80s Comedic Scenes

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/08/30

There is nothing more difficult than making a great comedy. And within comedic cinema, there are scenes so funny, so perfect, that they live rent free in our minds for decades. In the 90s, we had Lloyd and Harry arriving at the party in their tuxedos, and Happy Gilmore boxing with Bob Barker. In the early 2000s, we watched McLovin get knocked at trying to buy beer, Prestige Worldwide perform at the Catalina Wine Mixer, and Frank The Tank go streaking. But the 80s…well that's a different story

Recasting Revenge Of The Nerds

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/08/23

The 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds is a roadmap to success for anyone not born with a jawline like Stan Gable. Have a good attitude, go to college, start your own fraternity, have a robot clean your house. Simple as that. So why mess with perfection? Because at Buzzn The Tower that's just the kind of nerds we are. Today on Buzzn The tower we'll recast Revenge Of The Nerds using actors and actresses from the 80s. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Gilbert to my Lewis, Max Sanders. And with

Favorite Fictional Movie Band

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/08/16

Todays episode, favorite fictional movie bands. Who can forget Marty McFly’s audition, with his band the Pinheads. Great riffs, solid drums, strong stage presence. To think that one judge had the audacity to say they were just too darn loud. And how about that country club 20 piece band that played at Bushwood. All it took was Al Chervick asking Ringo to play something hot, flash some singles, and boom rock and roll. Our favorite 80s movies are filled with fictional bands that made our toe tap, and

Prey

2022/08/09

What do Lindon B. Johnson, Camilla Parker Bowles, and George Lazenby have in common? They had the distinct honor of filling John F. Kennedy, Princess Diana, and Sean Connery’s James bond shoes. Greatness is rare. The replacement of greatness being great is even more rare. Scholars agree that the 1987 John McTiernan film Predator, is the greatest film ever made. And while Predator 2 was a valiant effort to recapture lightening in a bottle, for the most part all those who have followed have been a far

Tomatometer Bargain Shopping

Rotten Tomatoes has become the preeminent film reviewer. Algorithmic vegetable mathematics provide the average Joe a look at what the pros think, and a look at what the fans think. And while you may not always agree with the rating you can't argue the gospel that is, RottenTomatoes.com As luck would have it, Max stumbled into a Tik Tok were participants were challenged to use Tomatometer ratings as point values, and create watch lists not exceeding certain established limits.

Why Mo Loves The Goonies

2022/07/19

I'm Mo Shapiro, you might know me from such podcasts as Buzzn The Tower. I like John Hughes, Predator, and karaoke. I don't like rats, Howard The Duck, or Max...my cohost. More important than any of that, I love The Goonies! Over the last eighteen months and eighty-five episodes I have tried to dedicate an entire episode to the Donner/Spielberg classic a number of times, but my cohost/arch nemesis has prevented me from living out my dream. Through shrewd negotiation I am happy to announce that today

The 80s Collector Part 4

2022/07/05

Over three previous episodes, we have methodically filled our airport hangar museum with 80s memorabilia that would make the most refined collector jealous. Our fictional museum has such treasures as the boombox from Say Anything, Bill & Ted's phone booth from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, Tim Cappello's saxophone from The Lost Boys, and even the Muppet babies from The Muppets Take Manhattan. With tons of imaginary space still unused, we'll continue to select

Rarely does someone create a television show that is relevant, entertaining, and dripping with nostalgia from four decades earlier. The Duffer brothers have managed to wake John Hughes from the dead, mix him with Spielberg, throw a dash of McTiernan in there, and serve us four seasons of the single best tv series out there! So of course when we see perfection our first instinct…recast it!Today on Buzzn The tower, we'll take our favorite characters from our favorite show, Stranger Things, an and

Father's Day 80s Watch List

Every third Sunday of June, we dedicate one day to the men in our lives who picked us up when we fell, taught us to throw a baseball, worked the grill in rain, sleet, and snow, and took us to see every Van Damme, Seagal, and Police Academy movie ever made. Father's Day is our chance to thank the dads, grandpas, and double grandpas that have watched, and continued to watch over us. So today we'll dust off our extensive VHS collection of the 80s greatest films and hand select some 80s movies that

With hundreds of love stories that include first dates, first kisses, and special moments, it's not easy to pick a favorite. So instead of picking one, we'll smash them all together and see what we get.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

2022/06/07

The belated movie sequel is a terrifying proposition. It starts with a movie you love and ends decades later with broken promises and a disgusting taste in your mouth. Don't believe me? Go watch Caddyshack 2, Dumb and Dumberer, Saturday Night Fever, Return To The Blue Lagoon, Son Of The Mask, Basic Instinct 2, Blues Brothers 2000, Return To Oz, or The Godfather Part III. But none of those movies had the potential to break our hearts more than Top Gun: Maverick. So after years of rumors, development,

Before Marley & Me, Homeward Bound, Beethoven, and Air Bud, there was an explosion of films starring man's best friend. And even when our favorite ruffers weren't headlining the kiosk, they often stole the show. Let us not forget if not for the brave sacrifice of a sheepdog mutt named Einstein, Marty would have never time traveled. And Jaws may have scared us from swimming, but a St. Bernard named Cujo made dry land just as scary. The 80s gave us memorable puppy performances. Today on Buzzn The

Whether your prime directives are to serve the public trust or protect the innocent...dead or alive you're coming with me! Police not only play a pivotal role in keeping the peace and protecting the innocent, they also are the backbone of a whole lotta 80s movies. So with that in mind, what if we took the best cops from the best 80s movies and made the best police force around? Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll do exactly that.

What do Carol Brady and Cersei Lannister have in common? A thirst for blood? No. They would do anything for their children. A mother's love is as strong as the Force, as dangerous as crossing the streams, and as mystical as Gwildor's Cosmic Key. All generations have paid homage to the matriarch in film and television. But the 80s, well they did it with style! Today on Buzzn The Tower we will build the perfect 80s movie mom, borrowing from our favorite big screen mothers. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining
