If you could attend a party from any movie, which one would it be? From Bachelor Party to Animal House to 16 Candles and beyond, cinema is brimming with crazy ragers & unforgettable fiestas... and every single one of them is a tad problematic. We take a look at some classic movie parties from the last 50 years and can’t decide what we enjoy most about them - the overt misogyny and casual racism, the wanton vandalism and disregard for public safety, or maybe just those rockin soundtracks full of our favorite hit songs. RSVP for FUN as we crash Movie Parties Gone Out of Bounds!

Episode 89 - Tapeheads: Parabellum

Yo Friends, check this out! The 1988 cult comedy Tapeheads was way ahead of its time. A weird, anarchic, and purposely silly poke in the eye to the second wave of MTV culture that put image above all else, this film can arguably be seen as the opening salvo in what would become the slacker Gen-X ethos of the early 90’s. Featuring early lead roles for John Cusack & Tim Robbins, plus stellar cameos from Don Cornelius (Sout Train), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), The Lords of the New Church, Fishbone, and 60s soul legends Sam & Dave as The Swanky Modes! - this one remains a perennial favorite of the MagHuge squad. Oh, and and we also discuss how John Wick 3: Parabellum is now the best video game movie of all time. It is an audio feast surpassed only by Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.

Deep Impact Vs. Armageddon. Two movies. Same basic plot. All stupid. The MagHuge team tackles the strange film phenomenon that literally hundreds have already covered before: Two movies released in the same year by different studios that tell the same basic story. This round we blast-off to destroy 1998 Extinction Level Event meteor movies Deep Impact and Armageddon. Each film is a star-studded romp about giant rocks on a collision course with Earth and the crazy space plan that just might save humanity. But first a bunch of cities need to get leveled and millions of innocent people must perish. In short, stuff blowed up real good. So which one wore it better? Listen and find out!

Pew! Pew! Pew! It’s another look at a few more not-very-good movies released between 1978 and 1985 that wanted desperately to be like Star Wars, but fell comically short. That’s right, it is Part 2 of our ongoing series about space adventures that did everything they could to ride the Skywalker gravy train all the way to the bank. This round we marvel at recycled Roger Corman dud Space Raiders, oddball sci-fi cult-comedy Ice Pirates, and interesting Disney failure The Black Hole. These relics of a bygone era may be guilty pleasures now, but one thing is for sure - they are most definitely NOT Star Wars. And we still can’t believe it.

Hair metal came on strong in the early 80s and quickly became the soundtrack for suburban teens looking to party. Fueled by incessant airplay on MTV, these new bands borrowed heavily from the look of glam and hard rock of the 70s. The music was slick and polished guitar rock that covered deep topics like girls, partying, having sex with girls, sticking it to the man, more partying, having a good time, drugs, even more sex with girls, and the occasional power ballad. The image was arguably more important than the music and it helped define the Me Decade with its swagger and excess...before grunge came along in the early 90s and kicked hair metal in the teeth. It was a fun ride while it lasted, and bands like Poison, Mötley Crüe, Warrant, Quiet Riot, & Whitesnake milked it for all it was worth, making millions in the process. Cue the blistering guitar solo as a scantily-clad vixen crawls across the hood of a luxury sports car. Now that’s what I call Hair Metal!

In 1978, iconic rock band KISS conquered the globe with their all out rock assault and unrivaled marketing savvy.  Their fans - The KISS Army - were legion and happily bought the records, saw the concerts and collected the limitless merchandise. It was peak KISS.

Naturally, the band decided to put one more notch on their studded leather belts and conquer ALL media - with a tragically conceived, poorly written, horribly acted and cheaply produced TV movie called KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park.

It was so awful that KISS disowned it for decades and forbade anyone from speaking of it in their presence.  Which only led to a growing cult status that ensured it would never die.

Take the Star Wars Holiday Special and fuse it with Scooby-Doo, then mate it with a low-budget kung-fu epic.  The resulting child is then genetically spliced with Westworld and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera… And that barely even scratches the surface of how bonkers this gem of a movie is.  And we love it!

With the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, we decided to take a novel approach and actually discuss the Matrix films themselves. You probably see a lot of articles right now surrounding The Matrix, how those Alt-Right psychopaths appropriated the concept of the “red pill,” the similarities between “jacking in” and your addiction to Facebook…

We would rather talk about how these films ushered in the era of geek culture. Sure, that may have forever ruined Comicon, and high school jocks identifying with a particular X-Man, but it also gave us a cultural goose of technological fantasy. If that’s not your thing, it sucks to be you, because The Matrix started it all, and it’s with us now.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourselves. OR, you can listen to this week’s show! So… yeah, never mind that stuff about how you can’t be told… that was nonsense.

SPOILER WARNING!

Buckle up, kids! Here comes our spoilerific review of Captain Marvel - the 21st entry in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the penultimate story to Avengers: Endgame! We talk Feminism, Flerkens and Fury’s Eyeball in the first Marvel movie to finally feature a woman in the lead role. And it’s about time. Plus, it is a pseudo-prequel set in the grunge-tinged nostalgia of the mid-90s so you know the soundtrack is awesome. But where does Captain Marvel stand in relation to the rest of the MCU? There is a lot to unpack on this one so let’s get started, shall we?

We love Joe Dante! And we think you should too! He blew our early teenage minds and helped define 80’s pop culture with Gremlins. But here’s the thing: Joe Dante has made a bunch of other films that also impacted us here at MagHuge on a personal - almost visceral - level. We don’t think we’re alone in this, either. While we can’t imagine a world without Gremlins (or its deliciously bonkers sequel) it is worth noting that Dante’s entire filmography is imbued with infectious fun and laced with a pure love of cinema that has few equals. No small feat for a career that has spanned over 40 years across multiple genres. And for this, we salute Mr. Dante in what is perhaps our most obsequious show to date!
