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...

When your spirit animal is a trash panda it's hard to imagine not liking any type of rotting food you find. In fact I've been quoted as saying the following...

"Caddyshack 2 isn't that bad of a movie"

"I love all the Police Academy films"

"Guildor aside, Dolph Lundgren does a decent job as He-Man in Masters Of The Universe"

And Max, well we all know he has no taste at all. But deep within the hallowed halls of our 80s film library, there exists some movies we simply can't stand. A movie or two that would make a billy goat puke. Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll list our five least favorite films from the 1980s. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray to my primate parfait, Max Sanders. And with that, let's take out the trash!

Right now, Max is looking at me a little strange because he doesn't know that I completely hijacked the show and we're not going to be talking about Hellraiser. But there's a reason for that. I'll be going through two important things that are key to the success of Buzzn The Tower. Number one, Max's engagement and all things related to it that are 80s. And number two, a speed review of the 99 episodes that came prior to this 100th episode. Strap in, get ready, because today on Buzzn The Tower we talk all 100 episodes including this one. I'm Mo Shapiro, and joining me as always the Celina to my Max, the newly engaged Mr. Sanders, Max Sanders. And with that, watch Max panic as he has no preparation for this episode!

Clive Barker is the most terrifying human being on earth. It wasn't enough that he wrote the novel The Hellbound Heart, he then needed to write a screenplay based on the novel and direct it. And as a result, we have Hellraiser. This film would make Cronenberg puke, Wes Craven scream, and Max Sanders...well we'll have to see what it did to him. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll become the explorers of the further regions of experience as we deep dive into Hellraiser. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Frank to my Pinhead, Max Sanders. And with that...we have such sights to show you!

Welcome to October, a month dedicated to the horror films of the 80s! Freddy, Jason, Michael (Myers not Jackson) and of course Pinhead to name but a few. What better way to kick off the month then to revisit a true classic…and then recast it. Written and Directed by Wes Craven, A Nightmare on Elm Street started a franchise that has collectively grossed over 472 million dollars. But more importantly, has made generations of children (and some adults) afraid to fall asleep. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we'll take the original Nightmare on Elm Street and recast its characters with other actors and actresses from the 1980s. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Nancy Thompson to my Freddy Krueger, Max Sanders. And with that…just soak up that music Max!

If I had to pick one 80s movie character to kill Max, it would be Howard The Duck. I'd sit quietly as he unleashed a barrage of round house kicks to Max’s face, compliments of Duck Fu. Watching him die by the hands of the very thing he loves would bring me such pleasure. But to keep things fair, I'd have to allow Max to choose an 80s movie character to defend himself. And that my friends is what we're going to be talking about. On today’s episode, we'll be choosing our killer and protector, as I attempt to seek and destroy my cohost. I'm Mo Shapiro, and joining me as always the victim of my wrath, Max Sanders. And with that…..run!

It was the summer of 1990, I was 11 years old and about to start middle school. Everything around me was changing, my body, my feelings, especially my feelings. I became keenly aware that not only girls existed, but they were magical. On an otherwise normal Saturday night, my mom rented a movie for us to watch called Adventures In Babysitting. It was this evening that all the changes I'd been going through all seemed to make sense. On that night, I fell in love with Elisabeth Shue. And while this has nothing to do with todays episode, I felt it was important to let you all know that my love for her is just as strong today as it was 32 years ago. Today on Buzzn The Tower, we're going to recast adventures in babysitting with other actors and actresses from the 80s. And while there will be no substitute for Elisabeth Shue, we'll do our best to make her proud. I'm Mo Shapiro, and joining me as always the Brenda To my Chris, Max Sanders and with that... Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues!
