Buzzn The Tower

Despite our greatest efforts the Mad Titan has recovered all of the Infinity Stones. However, this Endgame has a twist. When Thanos snaps his fingers half of the 1980s John Hughes catalog will disappear forever. The world's greatest 80s movie Avengers, Mo & Max, have been assembled to choose which movies stay and which movies go. I'm Mo "Captain America" Shapiro, and joining me as always, the Molly Ringwald to my Anthony Michael Hall, Max "Black Widow" Sanders. And with that... Buzzn The Tower ASSEMBLE!

In case you didn't know, this podcast is dedicated to the movies of the 1980s. And found within that rich tapestry of action, drama, horror, and comedy are some of the finest films ever made. But lurking in the shadows, in places you'll never admit, are some movies that would make a billy goat puke. Even worse than the actual films, is the fact that we still love and watch them. We're not here to judge, in fact, quite the opposite. Today we're going to confess to our guiltiest 80s movie pleasures, the movies that are so bad... we kind of think they're good. I'm Mo Shapiro, and joining me as always, the Blanky to my Brave Little Toaster, Max Sanders. And with that...if no one's looking... let's admit to our guilty pleasures.

The 1980s defined action hero Shangri-La. From J.J. McQuade to John Matrix there was never a shortage of biceps, bullets and blackbelts on the big screen. Today we're going to borrow Gary and Wyatt's brilliant idea from Weird Science. But instead of making a woman named Lisa, we're going to Frankenstein the perfect 80s action hero. I'm Mo "Dark Shadow" Shapiro and with me as always, the Jean Claude to my Van Damme, Max "Viper Blood" Sanders. And with that, let's make a monster!

There are movies and then there are MOVIES. You'd be hard pressed to find a single person alive who doesn't know who Marty McFly is, or how many gigawatts are needed for time travel. Today we're going to do the unthinkable and go back in time to 1985... and technically 1955 too, and recast Back To The Future with different actors from the 80s. We don't have a DeLorean or a phone both or even a hot tub, but that won't stop us from revisiting one of our favorite 80s films. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Eric Stoltz to my Michael J. Fox, Max Sanders. And with that, let's see if you bastards can do 90!

Last week we started our top 25 countdown by covering the bottom 15. This week we'll rank our top 10 best dance scenes of 80s cinema. So grab your BMX bike or Strategic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport, Johnny Five to his friends, and get ready to boogie down. I'm your host Mo Shapiro, and with me as always, the steel town girl to my Saturday night, Max Sanders. And with that, let's dance!

Ren McCormack knew the salvation of his town relied on a dance. Johnny Castle wasn't about to let anyone put baby in a corner. Films have a long standing romance with dance, whether it's Gene Kelly splashing in puddles or Kid 'n Play tearing it up at a house party. Cinematic dance scenes have spanned every decade and, as always, the 80s did it best. Today, in Part 1 we are going to rank our top 25 through 11, 80s movie dance scenes. I'm Mo Shapiro and with me as always, the Willard to my Ren, Max Sanders. And with that....I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PARTY, LET'S DANCE!!!

The question isn't what are we going to do. The question is what aren't we going to do. Straight from the playbook of Ferris Bueller we're gonna take a day off, splicing and dicing all of the greatest parts of our 80s movies to make an adventure worth talking about. Minding the P's and Q's of everything Ferris Bueller, we're going to make the most out of this day. Because it's pretty tough to come up with a new illness, if I gotta go for 10 I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so we better make this one count. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Sloane Peterson to my Abe Froman, Max Sanders. And with that, let's start our day off!

From lightsabers to Howard The Duck’s recliner, our favorite movies from the 80s are filled with items we want, can’t have, or maybe we can. Today we're going to explore what we want in our own personal collection. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the flux capacitor to my DeLorean, Max Sanders. And with that, let's curate our museum!

Whether you’re a dork, a nerd, a dweeb or you just feel a little out of place, there’s some 80s movie that made you feel a little bit more normal. We’ve put together a list of our 10 favorite 80s nerds. Spanning the best decade of film with the biggest dorks you could imagine. I’m Mo Shapiro and with me as always, the Cameron to my Ferris, Max Sanders.

We're going to take all the best practices from all our favorite 80s films and put together the ultimate bar. A place where you’d want to go if everybody knew your name. A place where you’d want to have a beer, a cocktail or even just spend a little bit of time reminiscing about the best decade ever. I’m Mo Shapiro and with me as always, The Bunny to my pot of boiling vengeful water, Max Sanders.
