Cherry Bombs - The Underappreciated Movies Podcast

This month Dustin and Nik go back to school to sing the praises of Grease 2! Join them as they celebrate the legend of Adrian Zmed, decry the horror of Eddie Deezen, unearth the Rob Lowe/Snow White connection and indulge in a little "Reproduction" karaoke. Pull on your pink satin jacket and learn where the pollen goes in the horniest, most progressive movie musical of the 80's. Listen today and you just might score tonight! 

This month Dustin and Nik are reminded that things could be so much worse! At least we're not living in Waterworld where Earth is an ocean, smoking is rampant and Kevin Costner might bash your head in with an oar. Join us as we celebrate the ultimate bathtub toy movie and remember that we're not down to eating canned Smeat and drinking our own urine just yet!

This month Dustin and Nik time travel to 1986 to discuss Disney's Flight of the Navigator, the classic alien abduction family film about a boy with a spaceship that speaks in the voice of Pee-Wee Herman. Along the way they'll dance to the English synth-pop stylings of Blancmange, discover the shocking Steve Guttenberg connection and explore the mystery of Johnny Klein! Listen now and never again apologize for the movies you love. Compliance!

Join Dustin, Nik and Some Damn Shark's Mother as they dive into a new dimension in AWESOME, Jaws 3D! This time Dennis Quaid, Lou Gossett and Cherry Bombs royalty Dame Lea Thompson join forces to blow up the vengeful carcharodon carcharias before it eats Sea World. This was the only film Joe Alves ever directed because, after Jaws 3D, what's he got left to prove? We love every blurry frame of this film. The head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

Flip your cap backwards and meet Dustin and Nik halfway as they celebrate the sweaty-armed, vein-bulging awesomeness of Cannon Films' magnum opus Over The Top. Winner Takes It All as Sylvester Stallone's Lincoln Hawk(s) reconciles with his dickish son, battles Robert Loggia's thug army and cheats his way to victory in the World Arm Wrestling Championship. Half of this film's budget was Stallone's salary. Worth. Every. Penny.

Join Dustin and Nik as they unironically make a case for one of the biggest Cherry Bombs of them all in this inaugural episode. A notorious box office flop and critical punching bag, Howard the Duck has gone down in history as one of the "worst movies ever made". But what's not to love about a space duck who falls in love with a punk rock Lea Thompson, hangs out with Oscar winner Tim Robbins, fights a mutant Jeffrey Jones and saves the world from giant stop-motion crab monsters? Screw you, Razzie Awards. We love Howard the Duck.
