Blockbusters: Howard the Duck
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
08/21/20 • 56 min
Jump into this $31 million dollar dumpster fire with us as we follow Howard, an evolved duck from another planet who falls for a heavy metal vixen in Cleveland, Ohio. Yes, that is a sadly accurate summary. If you need more convincing, Tears for Fears attacks Lea Thompson and the principal from Ferris Bueller turns into a dark lord of the universe. This goes from a bad Roger Rabbit to a high-budget Evil Dead, and I’m not sure if that makes it better or worse.

Blockbusters: Heathers
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
09/10/20 • 71 min
Trigger Warnings: School violence, gun violence, sexual assault, extreme homophobia, toxic masculinity, suicide and murder.
Join us as we revisit a seminal movie from our adolescence, which says a lot. Jennie reveals her ideal high school boyfriend dressed like Highlander and was a straight-up sociopath, while Amye reveals her love of angry diary writing. We actually notice Veronica’s parents this time around and their weird Wes Anderson reality, and we do an amazing impression of a conversation between Christian Slater and Gary Busey. Come along as we discuss the hard slap of the 90s that woke us from our 80s coma.

Blockbusters: Children of the Corn
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
10/21/21 • 56 min
In this 1984 adaptation of the Stephen King short story, a bunch of kids kill all of the adults in a small farm town in Nebraska. Instead of partying and doing normal kid stuff, these kids get real passionate about corn and the upcoming harvest. We discuss our old school field trips and possible exploitation of the Amish, Jennie thinks all gingers look alike, and Amye passionately tries to clear Stephen King's name.

Blockbusters: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
07/29/21 • 63 min
Finally! Amye convinces Jennie to sit down and watch the beloved 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and it's worth it just to hear her reaction to the dreadful Grandpa Joe. Other discussions include Jeff Bezos and his interesting journey, more Bon Jovi news-whether you want it or not, and get ready Gen X: everything is a test or a trick.

Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters

Amye PLAYED herself and is forced to recap 1983's War Games with Jennie, who loves this movie and has 85 index cards to accompany the episode. Matthew Broderick guides us through the dangers of AI, complete with the bald dude from Top Gun, Dabney "Daphne" Coleman, and a father who butters his corn like a bad *ss. We discuss being scarred for life by The Ring, Amye's complete lack of knowledge around computers, and Jennie allows Amye to discuss JFK.

Blockbusters: Pretty in Pink
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
03/04/21 • 65 min
Join us as we weigh in on the classic John Hughes love story of a high school torn apart by socioeconomic factors. Andie is an unpopular high schooler who has three handsome boys fawning over her, two of whom are filthy rich, and the other worships the ground she walks on. While Andie struggles to choose which boy she’ll take to the prom, she seeks solace in a variety of characters including: an eccentric Annie Potts, a young (and still yucky) Andrew Dice Clay, and Andie’s heartbroken and troubled father. Amye is triggered by gym class, and Jennie has a visceral reaction to Ducky’s energy.

Blockbusters: Top Gun
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
12/09/20 • 61 min
Amye tries to resist, but eventually falls for 1986’s Tom Cruise as Maverick, a Top Gun fighter pilot with a grossly-inflated ego. She doesn’t stand a chance, however, against Kelly McGillis who is a whole five years older than him and is apparently robbing the cradle. The beautiful California coastline with its eight-hour sunsets is the backdrop for our story about a group of boys, er...men, competing for the title of Top Ego. Tom Cruise just can’t seem to stay inside the lines as he plays volleyball in a bomber jacket, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and does something with a MIG that we don’t understand. Did we mention he’s a Maverick?

Blockbusters: Halloween
Gen X, This is Why: Blockbusters
10/29/20 • 61 min
A six-year-old maniac murders his sister on Halloween, then does a fifteen-year stint in a mental hospital under what appears to be the subpar psychiatric care of Dr. Loomis. We ask the number one question of the 1970s and 80s, “Where the hell are these parents?” and discover how risky an endeavor babysitting was if you wanted to live past your teens. There are some unsolicited opinions from Gen Z’ers and we even encounter an old pal from Walnut Grove.
