So That Happened!!!

Savage Streets (1984)

This week Swan and Bill dive into a movie that has both Linda Blair AND Linnea Quigley in it and is NOT a horror movie!

After nearly being run down in the street by a gang known as the Scars, Brenda (Linda Blair) and her deaf-mute younger sister Heather (Linnea Quigley) and their friends trash the car of the gang leader, Jake. Jake exacts his revenge by getting his cohorts to gang-rape Heather.  Hilarity ensues!!!

Grab your favorite beverage, throw in your headphones and join us!

Buffalo ‘66 (1998)

This week we sit down and watch Vince Gallo’s MASTERPIECE.

Most people know this film simply for the Christina Ricci in the bowling alley scene alone, if nothing else.

Hang out with us while we try to decide just how much of a bitch Vince Gallo really is, and if Jan-Michael Vincent even knew if he was actually in a movie during the filming of Buffalo ‘66…

Buffalo ’66 stars Vincent Gallo, Christina Ricci, Ben Gazzara, Mickey Rourke, and Rosanna Arquette and was directed by Vincent Gallo.

Prozac Nation (2001)

This week we cover a film that Miramax never really ended up releasing.

Christina Ricci gets naked, Jessica Lange comes unhinged and we watch a teenager crumble under depression during her first year at Harvard.

We end up talking more about depression and life than we do about the movie in this episode.

Prozac Nation stars Christina Ricci, Jessica Lange, Anne Heche, Jason Biggs, and Michelle Williams, and was directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg.

Top Gun (1986)

It’s 2015 and this is the first time that Swan has ever seen Top Gun!!

Listen in as we discuss volleyball, tragic bromances, airplane school bad-assery, strong independent female leads, and Ray Bans.

So many Ray-Bans!

Listen to us now or lose us forever!

Top Gun stars Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, and Tom Skerritt and was directed by Tony Scott.

Chopping Mall (1986)

This week we initially had done an episode for you on Super Buddies (2013) however due to hardware changes in our recording setup the episode was unusable, so Swan and Bill scrambled to record a last minute episode for you where we cover Chopping Mall!  (we also lost portions of this episode.)

This is a universal favorite amongst the So That Happened family, a mid 80’s low budget robot slasher horror heavily drenched in Corman…  what more could you possibly want?

Short Circuit may have been the OTHER “Robots with tank treads” film from 1986, but it can’t hold a candle to Chopping Mall! (OK, it DOES have Ally Sheedy in a bathtub, but Chopping Mall has EXPLODING HEADS!)

Chopping Mall stars Kelli Maroney, Tony O’Dell, Barbara Crampton, and Dick Miller and was directed by Jim Wynorski.

The Saint (1997)

This week we watch the completely forgettable and insufferable romantic adventure film, The Saint.

The Saint is based loosely on Leslie Charteris character “Simon Templar”, originally created in 1928 and featured in novels, TV series and movies several times over.

All of which are better than this turd.

The Saint stars Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, and Rade Serbedzija and was directed by Phillip Noyce.

The Room (2003)

This week we take on the fantastic chick flick / romantic comedy / train wreck / extended generic R&B music video, guy talk football tossing session film classic that is The Room.

Bill serenades us with some old school Color Me Badd, we rip apart some bad sex scenes, we discuss the high points of Greg Sestero’s career, and much, much laughter ensues.

This movie was tearing us apart.

The Room stars Tommy Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, and Greg Sestero and was directed by Tommy Wiseau.

Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains (1982)

This week, in an effort to redeem himself against charges of violence and rape-ie-ness, Van VanDerVan drops in as our surprise guest co host.

…Mamba is super proud of her ability to pronounce the word “acerbic”.

Bill revels in the joys of seeing Laura Dern wearing a leather bodysuit.

…And general hilarity ensues.

We are watching the seminal punk rock send up “Ladies and Gentlemen, The fabulous Stains”… the tale of a disaffected teenager being fired from her dead end job by “Data” from Star Trek: The Next Generation and ROCKETING to sensational Skunk Rock stardom in a matter of four weeks.

EXACTLY LIKE ACTUALLY BEING IN A REAL BAND.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains stars Diane Lane, Peter Donat, Marin Kanter, and Laura Dern and was directed by Lou Adler.

Straight Talk (1992)

Once again we revisit the well of wonderment that is Dolly Parton.

Witty one liners, bowling bags, and a whole boat load of advice fly on screen as Dolly leaves her man and sets up shop in the big city.

James Woods shows up to get the scoop, but ends up with more than he bargained for in this super fun, formulaic rom-com.

Hang out with us and hear just HOW much fun we had!  We’ll give you the Straight Talk!

Straight Talk stars Dolly Parton, James Woods, Griffin Dunne, and Michael Madsen and was directed by Barnet Kellman.
