Funny aside: on the commentary track, Byrne says "This movie doubles as an exercise video. If you do everything in this movie as long and as hard as I do, you'll be in pretty good shape." I believe he says that during the jogging section of Life During Wartime.

First off, I haven't seen Sign o' the Times, so my vote for Stop Making Sense probably wasn't a fair one; but that didn't stop me from casting it. I've seen it more times than I can count. Both hosts made interesting points. On the racial diversity displayed in both films, it bares mention that all of the extra musicians performing with the Talking Heads [except for the four core members] are black. On the guests assertion that Byrne is dealing with sex, I was a little surprised that Amy seems to find him so asexual. Sure, the wide-eyed crack-rooster dancing of Psycho Killer aint the pelvis-thrusting of a Prince performance, but you have to look at the less choreographed moments. Take the last minute or so of Found a Job, when Byrne is simply pacing back and forth, nodding his head, and playing the same chords over and over again. He reaches a meditative, shamanistic state where he's focusing on nothing but those chords. Such is the same with a spiritual fugue, or dare I say sexual congress. It's not something to be over-analyzed or intellectualized, it is simply the body taking over where the head won't go. Byrne himself has said of music that a lot of times the body understands it before the brain does. This was the idea behind the siezurelike quaking and shivering during Once in a Lifetime. The music, like the Holy Spirit, is taking over the body and moving it independently of the will. Strange coincidence that Jonathan Demme died today. I'll never hear American Girl without seeing that woman singing along to it in her car at night.

Ghostbusters yes. My screen name used to be Judas Priestly, but I lost my login [for anyone keeping track]. I don't think I need to explain why it should be in the Canon, the least of which is its cultural impact. I completely see the validity of all of Amy's points though, which sort of made me want to vote no. I do feel like there are probably too many movies that we remember fondly from when we were kids in the Canon. I have to say though, Neverending Story 100% holds up. I just turned 36 and my kids love it, and I still cry at two points in the movie: when Artax dies [obviously], but also at the end when the Empress is pleading directly into camera for Bastian to save them. P.S. Amy, I recently read that he screams "Moon Child," into the storm, and I've gone back and listened and it sounds right, but I was always under the impression that he gave her his mother's name; so maybe it's just something they had the actor say so that he was saying SOMEthing even though we're not supposed to be able to hear what it is.

Another Mick Garris maserpiece, like Sleepwalkers before it. I actually LOVE this movie, but it would be perfect for the show. A bounty hunter takes the form of a Playboy centerfold [complete with staple in the center], a giant ball of crites rolls over someone leaving only a skeleton in its wake. PLEASE! do this movie!

She was also on Deadwood as the manager of the whorehouse that Joanie Stubbs opens.

Hhhhhh....probably won't get to watch this movie before the episode, despite owning it on DVD, because having two toddlers and a pregnant wife are hella time-consuming. Good thing I saw it so many times as a kid, I think I remember most of it.

I once saw an ad for a bass pedal with Les Claypool, and it bore the slogan "Les is more." but I'd never heard the expression "less is more" so I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever read.

When he announced the next movie I yelled "YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!" in my car, because I saw it about a million times as a kid. I own this fucker on DVD. I even had a Black Cat firecrackers poster in my room as a kid, and I named the cat on the poster after a cat in this movie. Why were so many of my favorites when I was a kid shitty horror movies? Lawnmower Man was another one I watched over and over. Why ask why? I'll just be thankful they're making this podcast seemingly specifically for me. Also, congrats to BabyBug.

Aw shit! Look out Dan Engler, CakeBug is coming for your job!!!

I've seen Shocker a few times. I think this Simpsons segment has a lot more in common with Body Parts [and a segment of John Carpenter's Body Bags] than it does with Shocker. In Shocker, a guy is being executed, and his soul or lifeforce becomes electricity and then he can somehow jump from body to body and travel through power lines.

Someone with better photoshop skills than me [and who likes to do that sort of thing] should definitely photoshop Paul and June's faces onto this image.

There is another movie, or rather a section of a movie, with this exact same plot. In John Carpenter's Body Bags, the first segment is called Eye and it stars Mark Hamill as a guy who gets in a car accident and loses an eye. His eye is then replaced with that of a serial killer, causing him to have evil, murderous visions and urges. This movie came out in 1993. I obviously can't say if Body Parts was any influence or not, but it is as interesting connection.

Dino was the first one who sprang to mind. But yeah, he's made some great ones too.

Plus the late great Rick Ducommun. I think we need to do this one. I haven't seen it in a long time. Maybe it's actually a good movie? Some of them they've done, I would actually classify as good movies, but are nonetheless bonkers.

Body Parts, y'all!!! This is another movie I was into as a kid. I can't wait.

Maybe this guy was Chuck Barris's ghost writer.

Yeah. Wow.

For the record, I think a chubby woman in a feather mask sounds just about perfect. Seth Morris just doesn't know what's truly best in life.

I like his daughter. Thanks for the info.

I see it's still on Google Play, and it's still tagged with Earwolf. Why are only archived episodes on the Earwolf site? Just curious, I guess.

BUMP! They need to do this movie. I saw it in the theater with my then-girlfriend and her friends and I guess one of their friends' moms [or something?]. Even then at the age of fifteen, I knew it was TERRIBLE!

Would you call it, "exquisite acting?"

Couldn't STAND her on Orange is the New Black.

This is my favorite episode of the show, so I was excited when this movie came to Netflix so I could rewatch it and then listen to the episode again. Holy shit! What a complete fuckaro this movie is! I last saw it as a new release, cautiously optimistic because I was a Fangoria subscriber and I knew it had "shit weasels" in it. Criminetleys, if I didn't just have it on while I was cleaning I don't know if I could do it.
