Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Buzzn The Tower

10/03/23 • 62 min

Intrigued by the near-death experience of the rugged hunter, Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, after a close encounter with a monstrous saltwater crocodile, the New York City reporter, Sue Charlton, travels to Australia, to meet the legend in person. There, in the dusty hamlet of Walkabout Creek and the formidable outback, dangerous situations and unforeseen romantic complications await; however, Sue already knows that nothing compares to the urban jungle of the great Big Apple. So, like a fish out of water, Mick leaves Australia for the first time in his life for Manhattan's concrete maze, where he comes face-to-face with the complexities of modern life. But, will the unpretentious bushman ever adapt to the big city? Today on Buzzn The Tower we go down under, throw a shrimp on the barbie, and play with dead kangaroos as we visit the 1986 blockbuster, Crocodile Dundee. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the dingo that ate my baby, Max Sanders. And with that...

Innerspace (1987)

Buzzn The Tower

03/28/23 • 58 min

When Steven Spielberg started Amblin Entertainment he handpicked Joe Dante as one of the first directors he wanted to work with. Together, Spielberg and Dante had a hattrick of collaborations, Twilight Zone, Gremlins, and of course Innerspace. Sci-Fi Comedy is never an easy endeavor, but with the help of Martin Short and Dennis Quaid, Joe Dante delivered a classic 80s flick! Today on Buzzn The Tower we'll get a hold of both microchips and spend some time talking about Innerspace. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Jack Putter to my Tuck Pendleton, Max Sanders and with that..

Short Circuit (1986)

Buzzn The Tower

05/23/23 • 52 min

80s movies had no shortage of robot love. Don't believe me...

R2D2 & C3P0, The Iron Giant, Robocop, The T-800, SICO from Rocky IV, Jinx from SpaceCamp, Max (not Sanders) from Flight Of The Navigator, and many more. But one robot for better or for worse stands out from the pack. In 1986 NOVA Robotics broke the mold when they introduced us to Strategic Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Transport, or S.A.I.N.T. as we call it, prototype number 5. Today on Buzzn The Tower we're gonna to disassemble Johnny 5 and talk about Max's favorite movie Short Circuit. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the Ally Sheedy to my Steve Guttenberg, Max Sanders. And with that...

Who You Gonna Call? Ghostbusters!

Buzzn The Tower

03/30/21 • 64 min

1984 is widely considered the greatest year for movies of all time. Temple of Doom, The Terminator, Beverly Hills Cop, and The Karate Kid just to name a few. One movie in particular stood above the rest as a cultural and spiritual life changing event. New York City is heading for a disaster of biblical proportions; Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff, forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanos, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!! I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always, the Zuul to my Vinz Clortho, Max Sanders. And with that, let's go bust some ghosts!

Would You Rather 80s Edition Part 2

Buzzn The Tower

09/20/22 • 49 min

Would you rather kiss your mother in an attempt to get your father to break it up and have them fall in love so you'll be born in the future...or...have your dad tell you that you're the best at kissing and share that with your cousin while on a teeter totter in the desert? Burning 80s questions like this one and many more, many many more, in fact a plethora await you on this episode. Today we'll play a little "would you rather" 80s edition, and see if we can make even more weird than my first question. Which by the way was a Back To The Future, National Lampoon reference, not some weird Lannister Game of Thrones/House of Dragons issue. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as always the lesser appealing option to my slightly more appealing option, Max Sanders. And with that, would you rather?
