Dissecting The 80s episodes

  • #117 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

    It's the fifth edition of FOURBRUARY, and the last gasp of Cannon-uary! We watched Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, and it was...not good.

    Why are there SO MANY unconnected scenes? What's with Gene Hackman doing the voice of Nuclear Man? Why is Muriel Hemingway wearing David Byrne's suit? How did anyone get suckered into making this?! Why are the effects so cheap? All this and more - plus a big Patreon announcement!

  • #116 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

    Cannon-uary continues with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, an almost-awesome sequel from Tobe Hooper!

    We join Stretch at a random radio station in rural Texas to maybe fall in love with Leatherface? Is Chop Top the most unsettling villain we've seen on the show? Just what's the deal with the Leatherface Family? Plus, Tripp tells an insane story of accidental assault in a movie theater! (It was Greg Raymer's sunglasses in the World Series of Poker, by the way.) All this and more!
