80s Movie Fantasy Draft

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/04/26

As a lifelong Detroit Lions fan I can tell you two things are absolutely true. One, this is our year. Two, next year is our year. But regardless of the historic success your franchise has (or lack thereof) there is always one time a year where a Super Bowl feels within reach and that my friends is the NFL draft! So with that in mind, Buzzn The Tower has decided to honor the occasion by holding an 80s Movie Fantasy Draft. The as always is to win. There will be rules, strategy, questionable decisions,

Labyrinth

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/04/19

Directed by Jim Henson, executive produced by George Lucas, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. Yet despite that lineup, a total commercial flop that broke the heart of it's creator. Labyrinth is the dictionary definition of a cult classic and luckily Jim Henson lived long enough to see how much people truly loved his dark fairytale. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll make our way through the Labyrinth to the castle beyond the Goblin City. It doesn't look that far..It's further than you

Tom Hanks John Candy Movie Swap

2022/04/12

On episode 28 of Buzzn The Tower, we pulled a Freak Friday with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. We asked and answered a seemingly simple question; which movie, if any, could we switch these action hero Gods and still make it work? Today we're back at it, but instead of talking muscles, we're talking bones...funny bones that its, wocka wocka wocka! On today's episode we'll look at 80s catalogs of two comedy giants, John Candy and Tom Hanks, and see if we can pull a Parent Trap with

80s Movie Fan Theories

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/04/05

The briefcase in Pulp Fiction contains Marsellus Wallace's soul. Also, Jules in Pulp Fiction is in fact Nick Fury. Elsa and Anna's parents washed up on an island and before they passed away gave birth to a little boy, named Tarzan. Jack from Titanic is a time traveler. Jar Jar Binks was in fact a Sith Lord. The internet is littered with fan theories about our favorite movies. But when you start digging in to the flicks from 80-89, you really find some tin foil hat gems! Today on Buzzn The Tower Max

Recasting Young Guns

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/03/29

Every single piece of historical knowledge I have about the Wild West is from two movies; Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Young Guns. And while watching Billy The Kid wreak havoc on the San Dimas Mall was fun, Young Guns probably did a better job of retelling the adventure of William H. Bonney and the Lincoln County War. Following the blueprint of The Outsiders, The Breakfast Club, and Stand By Me, Young Guns was more than a history lesson, it was another radical 80s ensemble cast. It is that

Last week we cranked up the action dial to eleven and set the world on fire with thirteen of our favorite one-liners from 80s action films. This week we pick up where we left off and pin down twelve more. So strap in, because your diplomatic immunity, dead or alive, is all out of bubble gum.

80s Action Movie One-Liners Part 1

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/03/08

The one-liner is the pièce de résistance of any worthy action flick. Need some evidence? Try imagining Air Force One, 300, or Avengers: Endgame without the lines "get off my plane", "this is Sparta", "I am Ironman". As is always the case, the movies of the 1980s set the bar for the intense action Hiku. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we explore our twenty five favorite 80s action movie one-liners. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the S.O.B. who is dug in like an Alabama tick, Max Sanders. And with

Batman

With the theatrical premier of The Batman hitting theatres this week, what better time to hop into our hot tub time machine and visit the summer of 1989. And while I'm sure Robert Pattinson will make Ben Affleck proud, who made Will Arnett proud, who made Christian Bale proud, who made George Clooney proud, who made Val Kilmer proud, who made Adam West proud, today the only Batman we'll be talking about is Michael Keaton. On today's episode we'll dive into the movie that changed all the rules and

Favorite 80s Movie Tropes

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/02/22

Damsel in distress, journey of the reluctant hero, one last job, vengeance, coming of age, saving the planet from destruction. There are no shortage of film tropes throughout all decades, but the 80s had something special. A cliché, a story, a trope that just felt like the manifestation of acid washed jeans, Hi-C Ecto Cooler, and Ronal Reagan. Today on Buzzn The Tower we list our favorite 80s movie tropes. Clichés that appeared in abundance and worked each and every time. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining

Recasting Road House

Buzzn The Tower ·

2022/02/15

In 1989, Director Rowdy Herrington...no really his first name was Rowdy, put together a little flick by the name of Road House. The story was simple enough. A quaint watering hole called the Double Deuce needed a cooler, a local doctor needed a lover, and a small town needed a hero. Road House won eighteen Oscars and a copy of it is preserved both in the Library Of Congress and The Smithsonian Institution. But even if that weren't true, which it certainly is, Road House exists as a reminder of what

With Valentine's Day approaching at Ludicrous Speed, we have been forced to tap into our rarely used sensitive side and talk about love. But don't worry because just like the grandpa in The Princess Bride said, they'll be fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, commercial breaks, fan spotlights, Max getting under my skin, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles. Today on Buzzn The Tower in honor of the mushiest time of year, we're gonna chat about our favorite 80s movie couples. The kind

Big Trouble In Little China

This is Jack Burton in the Pork-Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there. In 1986 John Carpenter gifted us cinematic gold that he described as an "action adventure comedy kung fu ghost story monster movie". Big Trouble In Little China was his eleventh time in the directors chair, along with Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall, they created an instant cult classic. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we will dedicate an entire episode to one our favorite movies from the 80s...actually one of

Movies That Deserve The Cobra Kai Treatment

If you're not four seasons deep into Cobra Kai, then stop this podcast immediately and go watch it! Wait no, no, no, don't do that. But when you're done watching Buzzn The Tower immediately turn on Netflix and watch Cobra Kai. If you think prequels and sequels are risky, try taking one of the greatest 80s movies ever made and turning it into a TV series thirty years later! While there's no questions Daniel Son, Johnny, and Ali all deserved this opportunity, one has to ask "are there any other 80s

Recasting Police Academy

2022/01/11

Perhaps the greatest contribution of the 1980s is the Police Academy hexalogy. Never before has such a bold effort been successfully attempted. Create not just one, but six of the greatest comedic films ever, and all within a ten year span. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we take Mauser, Thompson, Proctor, Hightower, Lassard, Callahan, Tackleberry, Harris, Sweetchuck, Zed, Motor Mouth Jones, and Mahoney, and recast them with other actors from the 80s.

Favorite 80s Sequels

2022/01/04

While some may consider the often forgotten sequels of Teen Wolf and Caddyshack to be guilty pleasures, most view them as a cautionary tale of leaving good enough alone. But perhaps the bad rap movie sequels have received is a bit unfair. For every Fletch Lives, there are also some gems that made the risk of Rotten Tomatoes purgatory worth it. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we discuss our favorite 80s sequels. The movies that not only did justice to the originals, but in fact stood on their own as solid
