Episode Fifty-One - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)


Listen Later

It's own lead actors didn't understand the script. The studio had no idea how to market it. And many critics of the time were utterly baffled by it. And yet, over the years, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension has still attracted a devoted cult following. Is this wild tale of a rock'n'roll scientist battling interdimensional aliens actually a misguided failure, or a misunderstood masterpiece? We're here to discuss that very question, in the latest installment of our "Fall Back to the '80s" mini-series. Give a listen, and always remember...wherever you go, there you are.
