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..

No disrespect to the Johns, Rambo and McClane, but when you are the muscle behind The Terminator, Conan the Barbarian and Destroyer, Commando, Predator, and The Running Man, you get to own the title of 80s action hero.
