There ya go. The 70s.

In regards to the Studio 54 reference, I think Jason's brain creatively combined Jaid Barrymore and Bianca Jagger. While Jade Jagger is indeed a real person -- Bianca's and Mick's daughter -- she would've been in grade school during the Studio 54 heyday...and hopefully was not doing blow with Andy Warhol. But hey, the 70s were a different time, so who knows.

"Everybody loves a good apocalypse story..." ...except Jessica St. Clair

I was thinking that, too. It definitely made it even funnier. Especially on the Roger Stone song, where the tuneless screeching kept getting higher and higher as the song went on.

"If this was real meme advertising...all the quotes should be wrong." He's 100% right. Sometimes logic is illogical.

I do not like ranch dressing.

Maya is humbly downplaying the fact that her dad is one of the greatest modern jazz drummers of the past 40 years. In fact, when Scott introduced her, I was like, "Huh, someone else has that last name." Nope, same family.

*HOORAY*

I never understood why the quote "Ain't nobody jerkin' off nowhere, motherfucker!" isn't up there with "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" and "I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." etc.

Scott seems happiest when the plug intro themes are around 15 seconds in length. Listening to a closing theme 3x that length every week might cause him to go insane.

Giant cow? Giant hands! Hold my calls and cancel my plans.

I have nothing to add except that my kids thought this movie sucked and told me to turn it off mid-way through. I was happy to oblige.

The name of the strip club is Heaven, and Faye does seem to have a hard time reconciling the fact that she's there. She's finding it hard to believe that she and her sister ("we") are in Heaven. I hate myself for trying to defend this mess.

Sheena Easton?? Seriously though, none of the women in the strip club were dressed like that. Lots of ruffled blouses and -- to the MC's credit -- polyester. It's likely that the poster was created simply to further piggyback off the success of Flashdance. My biggest grievance against the poster is that it makes the movie look fun. This movie was NOT fun.

He smack-grabs her ass as he says it, too. All to the tune of a music cue that sounds like it's from Laugh-In.

Well, he *does* deliver the line like a coked-up Paul Lynde, so ca-rotches is possible. My wife -- very confidently -- claims he says "you can put your face in their cock bags"

Cargo pants?? Carpet bags??? I've re-listened to it more times than I care to and it's still a mystery.

And I guess there isn't a day shift worker in his department, since he appears to shut off the mainframe on his way out of his office.

The director was also the editor, heaping even more blame on his already full plate. I can only imagine the series of events that led to that. Good point regarding the song licensing. The material that was written for the movie became huge hits long after the fact (and are not necessarily linked to this movie in the public mindset), so they were probably commissioned for dirt cheap. Bryan Adams was not yet "Bryan Adams" in 1983.

We get a clue about the relationship between Slick and Rick when the security guard watching Slick's car commercial mentions that "Tony" says she is his buddy's girlfriend. Cut to Tony the NASA janitor guy, who is none other than Deney Terrio, host of Dance Fever at the time. Sure, John G. Avildsen directed Rocky and The Karate Kid (which is pretty much a retelling of the Rocky story), but he was also responsible for sapping the momentum from John Belushi's last film, Neighbors...and Cry Uncle, which is a far more disturbing film than A Night In Heaven.

Also this was one of the best improvs of the year. "That sounds like cowardice."

Was Paul sick when he was cutting the spots? It barely sounds like him.

Haha, wow some of those slams hit a little bit close to home I bet. Nothing gets you closer to your true feelings like filtering them through a character.
