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 set on fire. Jessica Rabbit turned me from a boy into a man overnight. What was got replaced by what could be as Disney and Warner Bros collided and my universe expanded. This was my Multiverse Of Madness. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we're going to bask in the glory that is Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Dip to my animated dreams, Max Sanders. And with that...

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 sh#t!

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 movies as Road House. And as far as the little girl with shine in her eye and Christmas in her heart, that's none other than Rebecca Tickell playing the role of Jessica Riggs. About a year ago we were lucky enough to have Rebecca on the show and because Max irresponsibly went on vacation, and every person in my house has Covid, I'm doing a solo intro to our first rerun. So with that in mind, I'm Mo Shapiro and not joining me today is the former cohost of the show Max Sanders and with that let's revisit our time with Rebecca Tickell!

'Tis the season to be jolly, holly, and spread 80s movie cheer. Whether you spin the dreidel or put lights in your tree, December is a month filled with reasons to give and receive. And it's also a great time to celebrate the two year anniversary of Buzzn The Tower. So today what better way to celebrate holiday emotions than to have a good old fashioned gift exchange. We'll pick items from each others favorite 80s movies, wrap them up nice and pretty, and present them as we discuss our 80s collector gift exchange. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Aunt Bethany's lime Jello mold to my otherwise perfect dinner, Max Sanders. And with that...

Today we're kicking off our fun old-fashion podcast by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel-drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and recast one of the most important 80s holiday movies ever, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. As always we'll proceed with caution as we select alternative actors and actresses from the 80s to replace iconic performances given by Chevy, Beverly, Randy, and crew. We're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest podcast Max. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Cousin Eddie to my Clark Griswold, Max Sanders. And with that...Oh boy this is a surprise Mo, it's just a real nice surprise, just a real nice surprise...

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 Broken Heart, and fall in love again with Willow. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Brownie to my Madmartigan, Max Sanders. And with that...Willow!

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 Christmas Story, today we're talking about it's belated sequel, A Christmas Story Christmas. Can this new version hold up. Will it be the next Maverick or God forbit the next Coming To America 2. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll dive into another attempt to relive the 1980s as we discuss A Christmas Story Christmas. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the most emotionally fragile person I know, Max Sanders. And with that, I triple dog dare you!

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. What better way to kick off the holiday season then to give thanks for the wonderful gifts Hughes, Candy, Murray and hundreds of others have given us. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll take time to show our gratitude and give thanks to the movies, moments, and characters of the films of the 1980s. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the podcast cohost I'm thankful to call my own, Max Sanders. And with that, lets have some buttered toast, pretzel sticks, a handful or two of popcorn, and some jellybeans.

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 won the 1980s. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Dragon to my Beaver, Max Sanders. And with that...

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 pick our favorites and protect half of the work of Mr. Landis. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Coleman to my Billy Ray, Max Sanders. And with that...
