The Magnificently Huge Podcast

Where are we going? Planet 10! When? Real soon! Yes, the MagHuge team finally gets around to the uber-geek cult classic to end all uber-geek cult classics: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! This gem was ignored when released to theaters in June of 1984, but soon found an audience on home video who discovered a unique sci-fi/comedy/action/adventure epic about a famous neurosurgeon/physicist/test-pilot/rock-musician and his team of specialized misfits who become involved in an interdimensional space war between alien Lectroids. Almost impossible to describe in one sentence, you’ll just have to trust us that this one is a pleasantly weird film experience that rewards repeat viewings. If you haven’t already seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it right now! Then come back to our show where we gush over its many charms. Featuring early roles for Peter Weller, Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow and Jeff Goldblum - plus a solid supporting cast with Clancy Brown, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Hedaya and Vincent Schiavelli - Buckaroo Banzai gets high marks for being both of its time, but also well ahead of its time. You either love it or hate it, but one thing is for sure: No matter where you go, there you are. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:36 - Mindhunter (Netflix, 2019) | 9:05 - Alita: Battle Angel (2019) | 13:10 - Ready Or Not (2019) | 17:30 - Carnival Row (Amazon, 2019) vs The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (Netflix, 2019) | 24:08 - Lost 80’s Live | 28:15 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Jason Hill - Main Titles - (Mindhunter Original Series Soundtrack) | Tom Holkenborg - Motorball - Alita Battle Angel (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Brian Tyler - Badass Bride - Ready Or Not (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Headquarters Music - The Hide and Seek Song - Ready Or Not (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Nathan Barr - Carnival Row - Theme Song | Daniel Pemberton - The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Boys Don’t Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy (Live) | The Vapors - Turning Japanese (Live) | Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days (Live) | Wang Chung - Should I Stay Or Should I Go? / Everybody Have Fun Tonight | Clips from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) | Michael Boddicker - Buckaroo Banzai - End Title Theme

John Candy created some very iconic comedy moments during his career. Blues Brothers. Stripes. Vacation. Splash. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Spaceballs. Uncle Buck. Home Alone. SCTV. That’s quite a run. But take a closer look - from his early SCTV days through his final role in 1994 - and you'll find a staggeringly uneven filmography. We hate to admit it, but all those classic movies we love are balanced by a lot of stinkers. But it’s a lot of stinkers wherein John Candy still managed to be really, really good. It’s our homage to consummate character actor John Candy, a man who elevated everything he was in, even if he was the only funny thing about it. Now, here’s a quarter...why don’t you go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:30 - Craig Zahler | 9:50 - Lizzo | 12:30 - Future Man (Hulu, 2017) | 15:24 - The Fixx (Live) | 18:02 - This Charming Band (Live) | 19:28 - Strangelove (Live) | 24:04 - Blinded By The Light (2019) | 26:20 - The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) | 30:45 - John Candy | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | The O’Jays - Street Corner Felines (feat.

Music in the 1990s was about a lot more than just flannel shirts. Well, it was about a little more than that, anyway. In the days before Napster and Apple Music, bands could still make a living putting out a crappy album with one good song. This week, we’re taking a look at the best and the worst of the 90s one-hit wonders. Because on a podcast, a show about music is about more than just songs - it’s about click bait. I’m too sexy!

How many sequels are legitimate improvements over the movie they spawned from? Let’s face it, most are pointless exercises in redundancy and made to be straight up cash grabs. They typically lack whatever alchemy drew us to the original in the first place. Producers merely slap a big 2 on the title and call it a day, then count the receipts But every so often a sequel comes along that actually improves upon the first one in unexpected ways - bigger, better, stronger, faster… But finding a superior sequel is way harder than it sounds. The gauntlet was thrown this round as we each pick an arbitrary example of a Solid #2 that we think is superior to the first movie. Please note, only one Electric Boogaloo was harmed in the making of this podcast. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:23 - Enemy At The Gates: The Battle For Stalingrad (Craig, William 1974) | 9:56 - Ren & Stimpy | 13:19 - The Boys (Amazon, 2019) | 17:41 - Spamilton (touring) | 22:05 - The Lion King (2019) vs Dora and the Lost City Of Gold (2019) | 29:45 - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) | 33:30 - The Godfather, Part II (1974) | 35:22 - Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo (1984) | 37:20 - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (1982) | 47:50 - Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) | 50:00 - Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) | 58:10 - X2: X-Men United (2003) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Shalamar - The Second Time Around | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | The Fallen of World War II (https://youtu.be/DwKPFT-RioU) | Die Screaming Leiderhôsens - Dog Pound Hop (Ren and Stimpy Theme Song) | Christopher Lennertz - Translucent Alive - The Boys (Music from the Amazon Original Series) | Original Cast Recording - Ben Franklin, Sondheim & Lin-Manuel - Spamilton: An American Parody | Original Cast Recording - Aaron Burr, Sir, Nervous-er - Spamilton: An American Parody | John Debney & Germaine Franco - Dora and the Lost City of Gold | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from Dora and the Lost City of Gold (Isabela Moner - Poo Hole Song) | John Williams & London Symphony Orchestra - Han Solo and the Princess - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Nino Rota & Carlo Savina - Main Title (The Godfather Waltz) - The Godfather (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Trailer for Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo | Clip from Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan | Clip from Star Trek: The Motion Picture | James Horner - Main Title - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Quincy Jones and His Orchestra - Soul Bossa Nova (Dim’s Space-A-Nova) - Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (Music from the Motion Picture) | John Ottman - Suite From X2 - X2: X-Men United | James Horner & London Symphony Orchestra - Bishop’s Countdown - Aliens (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing an episode of CSI: Miami co-starring The Golden Girls caught up in a drug cartel murder, have we got a show for YOU! That’s right, we’re delving into the world of ill-conceived television show crossovers. What is a TV Crossover? That’s when characters from two distinct shows wind up forcibly coexisting within a single combined storyline that ultimately diminishes anything you ever liked about either program. But be careful what you wish for, superfans. Teaming Frasier with The A-Team may sound like fun, but in practice it will make your eyes bleed. We take a look at some classic crossovers that defied both logic and viewer patience and created some of the most bizarre television we have ever experienced.

The book is always better than the movie, or so the conventional wisdom goes. But some films get things mostly right and are actually watchable, regardless of whether or not you’ve read the source material. This week we discuss 3 random examples of a Good Adaptation: Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris, and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. All are fine novels in their own right, and each of the films adapted from them manage to work cinematically without sacrificing what originally made the books so engaging in the first place. At the very least, the filmmakers didn’t screw anything up and they transitioned the properties well from page to screen. Which is all we really ask when we are too lazy to read the damn book, anyway. | 0:00 - Intros | 2:50 - Star Trek: Picard (2020) | 4:48 - Top Gun: Maverick (2020) | 8:05 - The End Of The Fucking World (2018) | 10:07 - Star Trek: Discovery (SPOILERS for Season 1) | 15:00 - Apollo 11 (2019) | 21:29 - The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) | 24:00 - Good Adaptations | 26:48 - Trainspotting (1996) | 41:00 - The Silence Of The Lambs (1991) | 49:35 - Ready Player One (2018) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Tears For Fears - Change | Star Trek: Picard - SDCC 2019 Trailer | Cats (2019) Official Trailer | Top Gun: Maverick - Official Trailer (2020) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Buzzcocks - Why Can’t I Touch It? | Jeff Russo - Main Title (aired Version) - Star Trek Discovery (Original Series Soundtrack) | Lunachicks - Spoilt / Joss Stone - Spoiled / Monty Python - Spam | Matt Morton - Liftoff and Staging - Apollo 11 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Jazz Collective - Feeling Good | Trailer for Three Men and a Little Lady | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Iggy Pop - Lust For Life | Howard Shore & Munich Symphony - Main Title - The Silence Of The Lambs (Original Motion Picture Score) | Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses | Alan Silvestri - Ready Player One (End Credits) - Ready Player One (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | David Bowie - Changes

Bugsy Malone (1976) is an intensely weird movie starring Scott Baio and Jodie Foster. It’s a gangster epic set in the 1930s about a turf war between two rival mobsters. All the normal gangster film cliches are present, including the regular archetypes - the street tough mob boss, a sultry, world-weary femme fatale & a smooth talking con man caught in the middle. But it is cast only with children under the age of 16. And if that doesn’t spell box office bonanza, it’s also a musical - but all the songs were sung and recorded by adults. Oh, and instead of tommy guns, they shoot lethal cream pies. If that bizarrely accurate description doesn’t sell you on one of the strangest films ever created, then you ain’t seen nuthin yet. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:56 - Revolutions (podcast) | 12:20 - All Hail The Silence / Men Without Hats / Howard Jones (Live) | 22:58 - Stuber (2019) | 30:14 - Colossal (2016) | 33:57 - Bert Kaempfert | 36:27 - MAD Magazine | 40:26 - Bugsy Malone (1976) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Paul Williams - Overture - Bugsy Malone (Original London Cast) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | All Hail The Silence - The Alarm | Men Without Hats - Pop Goes The World (Live) | Men Without Hats - S.O.S.

In 1992, Oliver Stone said, “John Ford makes Westerns. I make Vietnamers.” (No - seriously. He really said that.) And like John Ford with westerns, Oliver Stone may not have invented the genre, but he definitely dominated it with three films (or four, if you include “JFK”) about America’s first dalliance with imperial conquest and the war we couldn’t win. Join the gang this week as we explore the complicated genre of Vietnam War Movies - the good, the bad, and the jingoistic! | 0:00 - Intros | 3:45 - Stranger Things (Season 3) | 10:00 - Yesterday (2019) | 14:50 - Star Trek: Discovery (Season 1) | 19:10 - Chernobyl: The History of a Nuclear Catastrophe (book.

If Vince Clarke is one of the fathers of synth pop, Ron and Russel Mael are the insecure older stepbrothers of synth pop. Yes, Sparks is one of the most influential anti-pop pop bands you've never heard of. And we aim to change that pronto. Sparks excels at songs about vanity, sexual frustration, and grooming that taught a whole generation that wished they looked a little better how to avoid being eaten by the monster of love and seek out the cool places. Tips for teens, indeed! This podcast ain’t big enough for their entire song catalog, but dick around with the #maghuge crew for an hour and I predict you just might become a fan.

SPOILER ALERT! Spider-Man is back for his second solo MCU outing - Spider-Man: Far From Home - and we’ve got a spoilerific minisode for you that is brimming with hot takes and nonsense! Endgame is over, The Blip is now part of continuity and Iron Man is gone. What is Peter Parker to do? Why, take a trip abroad and see the sights, that’s what! Yep, it’s a full on European Vacation for your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man...complete with Nick Fury quips, Mysterio illusions, MJ snark and, most importantly, The Night Monkey. The Webslinger tries his best to step out from Tony Stark’s long shadow only to find out once again that with great power comes great responsibility.

It’s our Dark Knight Do-Over! Way back in the early days of this podcast - before sound man extraordinaire Brian joined the team - our second show ever was about Batman. And it was, well... not great. So we decided to try and correct the sins of the past by rebooting the damn thing, just like they keep doing with the movies. Direct from our Gotham City Studios, here is yet another ill-advised, ill-informed take on The Caped Crusader! Using the various films as a springboard, we dive into the franchise that will either die a hero or live long enough to see itself become the villain. But, y’know, with the special brand of weirdness as only MagHuge can do. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:04 - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) | 12:24 - Fosse / Verdon | 16:48 - Cadence of Hyrule | 20:50 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Touring) | 33:15 - Batman (section) Begins! | 34:50 - Worst Batman | 46:10 - Best Batman | 58:14 - Best Joker | 59:57 - Best Catwoman | 1:01:37 - Rogues Gallery | 1:03:40 - Final thoughts | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Neal Hefti - Batman Theme | Beastie Boys - Root Down | ZZ Top - Pearl Necklace | Clip from Bolt (2008) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Burt Bacharach - The Sundance Kid | Burt Bacharach - Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head | Alex Lacamoire - Fosse/Verdon Theme | Clip from Portlandia | Overworld - Cadence of Hyrule Soundtrack | Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley - Pure Imagination | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Clip from The Dark Knight (2008) | Eminem - Venom | Kevin Conroy does other Batman actor’s lines!

Of all the years in film, 1981 was one. It's our look back at a curiously influential year in cinema that rarely gets the acknowledgement we feel it deserves. Lost arks were raided, chariots were on fire, and ponds were golden. Superman kneeled before Zod while cannonballs ran. James Bond had disco music, Arthur was a bit tipsy, and Bill Murray got his stripes. Time Bandits was (and always will be) Time Bandits. And that's just in the Top Ten! 1981 was also an astonishingly good year for many of the classic genre films you know and love. But don't take our word for it until you listen to this podcast! | 0:00 - Intros | 08:37 - Late Night (2019) | 13:54 - Men In Black: International (2019) | 23:12 - Black Mirror: Striking Vipers (S05E01, 2019) | 28:55 - Sparks - Number One In Heaven | 35:21 - Movies of 1981 | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | John Carpenter - Main Title - Escape from New York (Original Film Soundtrack) | Scorpions - Still Loving You | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Lesley Barber - Late Night “Molly’s Theme” - Late Night (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Danny Elfman & Chris Bacon - Logos - Men In Black: International (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Three Men And A Little Lady Trailer (1990) | Sparks - The Number One Song In Heaven | Sparks - Tryouts For The Human Race | Sparks - Dick Around | Sparks - Eaten By The Monster Of Love | Clip from Bolt (2008) | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | George Harrison - Dream Away | Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only | Bill Conti - Melina’s Revenge - For Your Eyes Only (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Vangelis - Chariots of Fire | Clip from Stripes (1981) | Christopher Cross - Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do) | John Williams - Main Title March (Superman The Movie) | Mel Brooks - The Inquisition - (from History of the World, Part I) | Joey Scarbury - Theme from “Greatest American Hero” (Believe It or Not)

Do you love Disney animation, but hate cartoons? Who doesn't? At least that's what The House the Mouse Built is betting on. In keeping with this latest spree of "Cinematic Universes," Disney is now making film versions of all their classic animations. Well, okay, they aren't out and out CALLING them that, but come on: Cinderella, Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, and Dumbo have already been reshot, with more on the way. So this week we ask: If kids like cartoons, aren't they going to LOVE not-cartoons of the exact same thing? It's a grudge match between Lion King and Aladdin to figure out which one's better, which one holds up best, which one has a more sympathetic villain, which one is more woke... and which one we'll even bother to go see. | 0:00 - Intros | 07:25 - Chernobyl documentaries on YouTube | 09:30 - Archer 1999 | 11:11 - Bruce Lee Biography | 14:15 - America’s Got Talent | 16:55 - Rifftrax Live!: Star Raiders | 19:11 - E3 2019 (Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Marvel’s Avengers, Super Smash Bros.

The new Godzilla movie is out and we REALLY wanted to like it. This latest iteration is part of what is now being dubbed The Monsterverse - a shared cinematic universe that includes King Kong, Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah and other kaiju who are apparently on this earth solely to destroy crowded cities. But something this time out feels… missing. Godzilla is a lean, mean, 50-story tall CGI machine, protecting the human race from a nasty giant space beast with 3 heads. So Godzilla: King of the Monsters should be a slam-dunk, right? If it ain’t broke don’t try and fix it, we say. | 0:00 - Intros | 6:53 - Game Of Thrones | 15:05 - The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance | 18:27 - Rocketman | 29:00 - Good Omens (Amazon - 2019) | 35:45 - Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Crawdaddy-O - Godzilla | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Ramin Djawadi - Main Titles - Game of Thrones (Music from the HBO Series) | Metallica - Better Than You | Trailer for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance - Rocketman (Music from the Motion Picture) | Taron Egerton - Rocket Man - Rocketman (Music from the Motion Picture) | Taron Egerton & Jamie Bell - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Rocketman (Music from the Motion Picture) | Taron Egerton & Kit Connor - Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) - Rocketman (Music from the Motion Picture) | David Arnold - Good Omens Opening Title | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | Bear McCreary - Godzilla Main Title - Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

If you could attend a party from any movie, which one would it be? From Bachelor Party to Animal House to 16 Candles and beyond, cinema is brimming with crazy ragers & unforgettable fiestas... and every single one of them is a tad problematic. We take a look at some classic movie parties from the last 50 years and can’t decide what we enjoy most about them - the overt misogyny and casual racism, the wanton vandalism and disregard for public safety, or maybe just those rockin soundtracks full of our favorite hit songs.

Episode 89 - Tapeheads: Parabellum Yo Friends, check this out! The 1988 cult comedy Tapeheads was way ahead of its time. A weird, anarchic, and purposely silly poke in the eye to the second wave of MTV culture that put image above all else, this film can arguably be seen as the opening salvo in what would become the slacker Gen-X ethos of the early 90’s. Featuring early lead roles for John Cusack & Tim Robbins, plus stellar cameos from Don Cornelius (Sout Train), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), The Lords of the New Church, Fishbone, and 60s soul legends Sam & Dave as The Swanky Modes! - this one remains a perennial favorite of the MagHuge squad. Oh, and and we also discuss how John Wick 3: Parabellum is now the best video game movie of all time. It is an audio feast surpassed only by Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. | 0:00 - Intros | 7:03 - How Did This Get Played?

Deep Impact Vs. Armageddon. Two movies. Same basic plot. All stupid. The MagHuge team tackles the strange film phenomenon that literally hundreds have already covered before: Two movies released in the same year by different studios that tell the same basic story. This round we blast-off to destroy 1998 Extinction Level Event meteor movies Deep Impact and Armageddon. Each film is a star-studded romp about giant rocks on a collision course with Earth and the crazy space plan that just might save humanity. But first a bunch of cities need to get leveled and millions of innocent people must perish. In short, stuff blowed up real good. So which one wore it better?

Pew! Pew! Pew! It’s another look at a few more not-very-good movies released between 1978 and 1985 that wanted desperately to be like Star Wars, but fell comically short. That’s right, it is Part 2 of our ongoing series about space adventures that did everything they could to ride the Skywalker gravy train all the way to the bank. This round we marvel at recycled Roger Corman dud Space Raiders, oddball sci-fi cult-comedy Ice Pirates, and interesting Disney failure The Black Hole. These relics of a bygone era may be guilty pleasures now, but one thing is for sure - they are most definitely NOT Star Wars. And we still can’t believe it. | 0:00 Intros | 6:30 Hanna (Amazon Prime - 2019) | 7:35 Good Omens (book) | 10:20 What We Do In The Shadows (FX - 2019) | 14:00 Mortal Kombat 11 | 18:27 Wicked (touring) | 25:22 Space Raiders (1983) | 35:54 The Ice Pirates (1984) | 51:20 The Black Hole (1979) | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Alala - Cantina Band (Epic Version) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Mahna Mahna (from The Muppet Show) | Ben Salisbury, Geoff Barrow - Training - Music from Hanna (2019) distributed by Amazon Prime Video | Lastochka - Leningrad (from What We Do In The Shadows) | The Immortals - Techno Syndrome (the Mortal Kombat song) | Kristin Chenoweth, Sean McCout, Cristy Candler & Jan Neuberger - No One Mourns the Wicked - Wicked (Original Broadway Cast Recording) | Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel - Defying Gravity - Wicked (Original Broadway Cast Recording) | Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh | James Horner - Space Raiders - Main Title | Clips from Space Raiders (1983) | Bruce Broughton - Jason Abducts Princess Katrina - The Ice Pirates | Clips from The Ice Pirates (1984) | John Barry - The Black Hole | Worst French Horn Player - Star Wars Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSZx2lM5tHY)

SPOILERS ABOUND! You’ve been warned! If you haven’t seen the (kinda sorta maybe) final Marvel movie about the Avengers - appropriately titled Endgame - then A) Crawl out from that rock you’ve been under and watch Avengers:Endgame, then come back; or B) Keep listening to our amazing, full-on fanboy, spoiler-filled lovefest about the most epic superhero sequel EVER MADE. The OG6 Avengers are all here: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye - plus all the newer folks - and we have followed them through all 22 movies in the craziest extended universe continuity ever put on film.

Hair metal came on strong in the early 80s and quickly became the soundtrack for suburban teens looking to party. Fueled by incessant airplay on MTV, these new bands borrowed heavily from the look of glam and hard rock of the 70s. The music was slick and polished guitar rock that covered deep topics like girls, partying, having sex with girls, sticking it to the man, more partying, having a good time, drugs, even more sex with girls, and the occasional power ballad. The image was arguably more important than the music and it helped define the Me Decade with its swagger and excess...before grunge came along in the early 90s and kicked hair metal in the teeth. It was a fun ride while it lasted, and bands like Poison, Mötley Crüe, Warrant, Quiet Riot, & Whitesnake milked it for all it was worth, making millions in the process. Cue the blistering guitar solo as a scantily-clad vixen crawls across the hood of a luxury sports car. Now that’s what I call Hair Metal! | 0:00 - Intros | 4:15 - The Rockford Files (s3e17) | 6:22 - Hellboy (2019) | 11:00 - Fosse/Verdon (FX) | 16:50 - Game of Thrones Season 8 (HBO) | 17:55 - Santa Clarita Diet Season 3 (Netflix) | 21:25 - Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (Netflix) | 24:30 - Black Monday (2019) | 30:11 - The OA | 32:22 - Hair Metal | Clips | Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl | Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Metal Health) | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Mike Post - The Rockford Files | Ben Folds Five - Battle Of Who Could Care Less | Benjamin Wallfisch - Big Red - Hellboy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Alex Lacamoire - Fosse/Verdon Theme | Gwen Verdon - Whatever Lola Wants - Damn Yankees (Original Broadway Cast) | Gwen Verdon & Eddie Phillips - Who’s Got the Pain? - Damn Yankees (Original Broadway Cast) | Ramin Djawadi - Main Titles - Game of Thrones (Music from the HBO Series) | David Shire / Linda Lavin - There’s A New Girl In Town (from Alice) | Clips from Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2019) | Meat Beat Manifesto - Brainwashed This Way + Zombie + That Shirt | Ice-T - O.G. - O.G.

In 1978, iconic rock band KISS conquered the globe with their all out rock assault and unrivaled marketing savvy. Their fans - The KISS Army - were legion and happily bought the records, saw the concerts and collected the limitless merchandise. It was peak KISS. Naturally, the band decided to put one more notch on their studded leather belts and conquer ALL media - with a tragically conceived, poorly written, horribly acted and cheaply produced TV movie called KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. It was so awful that KISS disowned it for decades and forbade anyone from speaking of it in their presence. Which only led to a growing cult status that ensured it would never die. Take the Star Wars Holiday Special and fuse it with Scooby-Doo, then mate it with a low-budget kung-fu epic. The resulting child is then genetically spliced with Westworld and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera… And that barely even scratches the surface of how bonkers this gem of a movie is.

With the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, we decided to take a novel approach and actually discuss the Matrix films themselves. You probably see a lot of articles right now surrounding The Matrix, how those Alt-Right psychopaths appropriated the concept of the “red pill,” the similarities between “jacking in” and your addiction to Facebook… We would rather talk about how these films ushered in the era of geek culture. Sure, that may have forever ruined Comicon, and high school jocks identifying with a particular X-Man, but it also gave us a cultural goose of technological fantasy. If that’s not your thing, it sucks to be you, because The Matrix started it all, and it’s with us now. Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourselves. OR, you can listen to this week’s show! So… yeah, never mind that stuff about how you can’t be told… that was nonsense. | 6:15 The Fifth Element (1997) | 11:07 Jealous of the Birds | 15:00 Welcome To Night Vale | 18:45 Dig!

SPOILER WARNING! Buckle up, kids! Here comes our spoilerific review of Captain Marvel - the 21st entry in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the penultimate story to Avengers: Endgame! We talk Feminism, Flerkens and Fury’s Eyeball in the first Marvel movie to finally feature a woman in the lead role. And it’s about time. Plus, it is a pseudo-prequel set in the grunge-tinged nostalgia of the mid-90s so you know the soundtrack is awesome. But where does Captain Marvel stand in relation to the rest of the MCU? There is a lot to unpack on this one so let’s get started, shall we?

We love Joe Dante! And we think you should too! He blew our early teenage minds and helped define 80’s pop culture with Gremlins. But here’s the thing: Joe Dante has made a bunch of other films that also impacted us here at MagHuge on a personal - almost visceral - level. We don’t think we’re alone in this, either. While we can’t imagine a world without Gremlins (or its deliciously bonkers sequel) it is worth noting that Dante’s entire filmography is imbued with infectious fun and laced with a pure love of cinema that has few equals. No small feat for a career that has spanned over 40 years across multiple genres. And for this, we salute Mr. Dante in what is perhaps our most obsequious show to date! | 0:00 - Intros | 3:27 - Annihilation (2018) | 9:06 - Crackdown 3 | 15:35 - Umbrella Academy | 20:25 - Isn’t It Romantic?

We punch low this week after listening to the new surprise album release from 90’s nerd-rock stalwarts Weezer - The Teal Album! And then review it track by track in the style of Casey Kasem's American Top 40! It’s not that we hate covers albums - there have been plenty over the years we actually adore. We just hate THIS particular covers album. Featuring Toto’s “Africa,” TLC’s “No Scrubs,” Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” Tears For Fears, A-Ha & beyond, this album is an unenthusiastic sampling of greatest hits from greater artists. Is this Weezer's homage to the songs that influenced them, or are they just trolling us all with a phoned in contractual obligation record? The countdown compares each cover to a better version done by literally anyone other than Weezer. Because we have now transcended irony. | 5:45 - The Man In The High Castle | 7:25 - The Assassination Of Gianni Versace | 9:44 - Brawl In Cell Block 99 | 13:55 - Skittles Commercial: The Broadway Musical | 16:05 - The Kid Who Would Be King | 21:00 - Russian Doll | 23:52 - Velvet Buzzsaw | 27:56 - Pen15 | 30:38 - Let’s get to the cover songs! | 31:53 - Stand By Me | 40:42 - Billie Jean | 47:08 - No Scrubs | 52:49 - Mister Blue Sky | 59:04 - Paranoid | 1:02:45 - Happy Together | 1:07:00 - Take On Me | 1:14:35 - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) | 1:20:32 - Everybody Wants To Rule The World | 1:24:50 - Africa | Clips: | TM Productions - Dark Disco | Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat | Mac Quayle-Adagio in G Minor | Butch Tavares - Give Her A Ride - Brawl In Cell Block 99 | Clip from Watchmen (2009) | Michael C.

​Welcome to the 2nd Golden Age of Television! You are now living in a halcyon time when your home entertainment choices are almost limitless, and the sheer quality of programming is consistently staggering. Yes friends, we are in Peak TV at this very moment - and we ain’t mad at it. The phenomenon dates back to at least the 1990s and TV has since evolved into something almost beyond TV. New-era showrunners are taking more risks in narrative, tone and style because few are beholden to traditional ratings or advertisers anymore. Which is great for all us viewers! If the advent of television in the 1950s marked its Golden Age when the industry rules were set, then this time - here and now - can easily lay claim to the title of The Second Golden Age of Television where the only rule is: There are no rules. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:22 - M*A*S*H (book.

Clowns, booze, sex, drugs, infidelity, murder, romance, more clowns, redemption and mimes... this movie has it all. Shakes the Clown is the latest pick in our Lost VHS Classic series, and if clowns didn’t freak you before watching this thing they sure as hell will after. This darkly funny gem is the directorial debut of comedian Bobcat Goldthwait and has gone on to earn every bit of its cult movie status with scatological humor that delights in the uncomfortable.

If you could make ANYTHING you wanted to right now - movie, TV show, whatever - what would you make? Eric, Brian and Chris ponder this very important hypothetical and come up short. Again. The best idea we could muster is a crossover reboot series combining classic 80s TV shows “The A-Team” and “Manimal” before we hit a wall of existential dread and unanimously decided that everything is horrible. But in a good way! Plus, there’s some awesome new Fresh $&!t at the top of the show to get things rolling.

Everybody cut Footloose, because here is the final chapter in our Kenny Loggins movie themes retrospective! Yes, we dive headfirst into the titular 1984 not-musical about what happens when a small town outlaws fun and forces newcomer Kevin Bacon to teach the kids interpretive dance so they can have one final hoedown before sacrificing themselves to the demon Baphomet. We think that’s what happened, anyway. This movie is truly a mess and confused us on multiple levels. And yet it has defied the odds to become a pop 80s classic that gave Kenny Loggins his only Number 1 song while also catapulting Kevin Bacon’s whole career. Who are we to argue with that sort of pedigree? 0:00 Intros 9:17 Henry Rollins 14:00 First Man 18:30 Venom 26:15 Doctor Who Series 13 36:00 Logman Vol. 4 38:30 Footloose Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl Kenny Loggins - Footloose Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat Ronald Reagan - presidential debate - October 7, 1984\ Justin Hurwitz - End Credits - First Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Eminem - Venom Journey - Lights Clip from Avatar: The Last Airbender Segun Akinola - Doctor Who Theme (2018) Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone Kenny Loggins - Meet Me Halfway Kenny Loggins - Playin’ With The Boys Kenny Loggins - I’m Alright Jodi Benson - Part of Your World - The Little Mermaid Moving Pictures - Never Shalamar - Dancing In the Sheets Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Metal Health) Bill Medly, Jennifer Warnes - I’ve Had The Time Of My Life Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out For A Hero Deniece Williams - Let’s Hear It For The Boy Clip from Footloose (1984) Ann Wilson, Mike Reno - Almost Paradise Blake Shelton - Footloose Glee - Footloose “Weird Al” Yankovic - Hooked On Polkas

A long time ago people were into a thing called, “Science Fiction.” The idea was to take real - or somewhat possible - scientific concepts, apply them to fictional characters, and see how things played out. H.G. Wells, George Melies, Issac Asimov… they had a GAS with this stuff.​ Cut to today and there’s a ton of stuff called "Science Fiction" that is really just Horror (like Alien) or Young Adult Fiction (like E.T.) or Action (like Marvel anything) or Screaming Abomination (like Independence Day). These things are called science fiction, but they really only carry its set dressing - spaceships, aliens, ray guns, and futurism. In an effort to help you, our listener, understand the difference between real science fiction and poseur science fiction, we’re combing through the films, books, shows and everything else people typically call Sci-Fi when it usually ain't. 4:45 - RBG (2018) 6:25 - The House With A Clock In Its Walls (2018) 12:15 - The Hurricane Heist is now on Netflix 13:40 - Maniac (2018) 16:50 - Ozark (season 2) 19:55 - Fight Club book vs movie 22:00 - Ye Olde Tyme Sci-Fi - definitions 29:10 - Things that people call science fiction that aren’t 36:00 - Do these count? 40:21 - Bad science fiction 53:57 - Some examples of good science fiction Clips Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat Nathan Barr - Quite Different Around Here - The House With A Clock In Its Walls (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 38 Special - Caught Up In You Dan Romer - Annie and Owen - Maniac (Music from the Netflix Limited Series) Mentos Jingle / Outkast - So Fresh and So Clean / Devo - Fresh Roy Clark - Ol Time Religion Clip from Thor (2011) Clip from Star Trek s1e20 “Court Martial” Clip from Star Trek: Voyager s3e4 “The Swarm” Clip from Total Recall (1990) Clip from Avatar (2009) Honda Asimo at USA Science and Engineering Festival Clip from Starship Troopers (1997) Clip from Black Mirror Don Davis - Main Title - The Matrix (Original Motion Picture Score) Bernard Hermann - Twilight Zone end title theme Richard O’Brien - Science Fiction / Double Feature

Need even more amazing 90’s nostalgia in your life? Well you are in for a real treat when the MagHuge crew tackles movies from the completely arbitrary year 1994! Everyone remembers cultural juggernauts Forrest Gump & Pulp Fiction - that’s the easy stuff. But we ignore those completely and instead pick our random Top Fives from The Year of the Gump.

Episode 64 - I Can’t Believe It’s Not Star Wars, EP 1 - A Fandom Menaced They may be blatant rip-offs of Star Wars filled with bad acting and laughable special effects, but we don’t care. Each is entertaining in its own weird way, even if it feels like we’ve seen it all somewhere before. Here is Volume 1 of our newest retrospective of shows to feature cinema inspired by the mother of all space operas, movies released to ride those coattails all the way to fat bags stuffed with cash.

Nothing wastes your time and money quite like a movie based on a video game. Even if by some miracle one manages to kinda- sorta get it right, the overall experience is still uniquely disappointing - even downright pointless. It’s a bit like watching your friends play video games all night because they are hogging the controller, but you are too lazy to find new friends. We talk the highs and lows of the oddball film sub-genre that refuses to die, even though it has repeatedly given us every reason to believe it should. 0:00 Intros 6:00 Downsizing 10:11 Mission Impossible Fallout 16:09 Extinction (Netflix) 20:50 Adam Ant 27:40 Out on the Lanai: A Golden Girls Podcast 29:10 Tokyo Drifter 31:28 Video Game movies 34:10 Super Mario Bros.

Are movie theme songs even a thing anymore? They used to be EVERYWHERE, those soundtracks of summer that made us want to go see the film. Let’s be real, we all know at least one earworm that rolled during the credits that we can still sing in our sleep. But do we always remember the movie it came from? We present a few of the songs that managed to eclipse the movies from whence they came to become classics in their own right, plus a whole bag of ugly sonic miscues that you will wish had stayed forgotten.

It’s the MagHuge Podcast Double Feature Show! We put on our tin-foil film programmer hats to create our own movie double features that we would totally make happen if we ran the world - or at least our own movie house. And they would be shown in an actual theater, too, because we’re cinema purists who believe that watching two random movies in a row on Netflix from your couch doesn’t count as a double feature. That’s just called one more Saturday night eating ice cream with a fork because you have chosen to give up. Which we here at MagHuge know nothing about...obviously. So, um, yeah… Double Features!

It's our tribute to the unusually large number of stone-cold classics released in the glorious year of 1989 A.D. That's a lot of iconic movies in one place - from Tim Burton's Batman to Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, and everything in between. Plus, huge cult faves like Heathers and Vampire's Kiss. It was a banner 12 months for discerning cineastes everywhere, and that even includes more dubious entries like Weekend At Bernie's, Earth Girls Are Easy and Young Einstein.

This week we look at the relatively new phenomenon of binge-watching television shows. Now that entire seasons are streaming, we can all crack out on our favorite shows and watch our favorites for days on end without being interrupted by lame commercials, obnoxious season-ending cliffhangers, overrated sleep, pesky jobs, or even the horror of other people. Shows are even designed to hold your attention for as long as you can sit there without soiling yourself. While “Orange is the New Black” and “Handmaid’s Tale” were written for streaming, there are a lot of shows from the past that also arc over the course of several seasons. We’re going to go through our favorites - and hope you write us to tell us yours!

“Surf 2: The End of the Trilogy” is the greatest movie ever made that also happens to be its own sequel! Join the MagHuge crew as we palaver about this quintessentially forgotten 80’s VHS teen-bikini-surf-punk-zombie comedy classic that also happens to be loaded with gratuitous T&A and a thought-provoking environmental message. No, really. Plus, it has one of the best unreleased 80’s New Wave soundtracks of all time (featuring an exclusive track by Oingo Boingo!) that never made it to stores because the movie was such an impressive failure at the time. You can’t even get this thing on DVD, that’s how amazing it is! Which is why it is our Lost Cinema Pick of the Week. We did what we could to make a spotify list for this episode. You can hear the results here: https://open.spotify.com/user/magnificentlyhuge/playlist/0WzBDpGqr14xyU40mXyZFp?si=ht8tpHRXR7-Vhz5CIApGVQ And here’s that rare Oingo Boingo song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnXtWs-0Qaw 0:00 Intros 3:55 WWII Propaganda Films 6:50 Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi 14:24 The Meg (trailer) 16:48 Rock The Bells 20:24 Our Girl 21:40 The Witness 23:15 Rampage (2018) 29:00 Surf 2: The End Of The Trilogy Clips Scratching The Itch - Sex Cult Girl Oingo Boingo - Hold Me Back Kool & the Gang - Fresh / clip from Bridesmaids / B-Side - Change the Beat US Armed Forces commercial Land and Live in the Desert (Army Air Forces) John WIlliams - The Battle of Crait (Star Wars: The Last Jedi Original motion picture soundtrack) John WIlliams - Finale (Star Wars: The Last Jedi Original motion picture soundtrack) The Meg (trailer) Rock The Bells Radio bumper L.L.

There's more to comic book movies than just your Avengers and Justice League, kiddo. "The Watchmen," "Dredd," the original Christopher Reeve "Superman" - if you like action heroes, there are tons of movies from decades past that get the concept right, even if they didn't have the effects technology yet. This is the ultimate superhero booty call. This week, the MagHuge crew tackle the subject of the best comic book movies you've never heard of, with a complete lack of preparation that makes this one of our worst shows. Truly. If you're an uber-fan, you'll listen through to the end. But if you're just finding us now, please, listen to any one of our other shows. You'll be doing us both a favor.

We get our 90s on to remember a time when superhero flicks were rare and even good CGI effects looked like frisbees on strings. Hear about all the junk culture of the decade that would lay the foundation for every big, dumb movie spectacle we get saddled with now in the 21st Century. Yes, the 90s were plain awful. And awfully necessary.

We saw the new smash hit action extravaganza “The Hurricane Heist” so you don’t have to! Here’s our takeaway: If your entire plan to steal $600-million from a federal vault hinges on waiting for the Storm of the Century to randomly appear, you may be the worst criminal mastermind ever.
