A Film By...

We conclude our special "Worst Week Ever" with a bonus episode today! Jason Colvin of the Surely You Can't Be Serious podcast returns once again to our limited series, "1986", to discuss one of the worst films of the year; Prince's "Under the Cherry Moon."

Jason offers up his best way to fix the film with a much improved soundtrack and Madonna casting decision that should have/could have been. We talk creative differences on set, compare Prince's kissing technique to a xenomorph, and debate why we love the villain of the film, more so than the hero!

This week, our limited series, "1986" will be discussing the worst two films that the year offered and up first, we're quacking up over "Howard the Duck!"

Alec and Cameron from the Comically Unaware podcast join us to educate us on Howard's origins in Marvel comics, and determine what George Lucas got wrong. We discuss the film's tone, the awkward sexual connotations, casting contenders, and what an MCU remake needs to be successful.

Rob Reiner made us laugh with "This Is Spinal Tap." He swept us away into adventure with "The Princess Bride." We discovered the fear of helplessness with "Misery," and he recaptured our childhood with "Stand By Me."
In 1996, he educated us about Medgar Evers and opened our eyes to injustice with his historical drama, "Ghosts of Mississippi."

Our limited series, "1986", is back and we're taking the day off to discuss "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" with the gang. As adults, we debate Ferris's motives and manipulation tactics. Was Rooney justified in his quest to catch Ferris?
Other topics include fun license plate trivia, the similarities between the Ferrari and Bruce, the mechanical shark from Jaws, favorite scenes, and when asked his thoughts on sequel, prequel, remake, Scott accurately suggests the spin-off idea that's currently in development!

From his early days writing for Sid Caesar to his performance of Saul Bloom in the "Ocean's" trilogy, Carl Reiner kept us laughing for seven decades.

In 1987, he directed "Summer School." A comedy about a misfit teacher bribed into teaching a group of misfit kids; who learn a great deal about "going on throw-up rides and petting barnyard animals" as they prepare to pass remedial English.
