I can already tell you what Jason's favorite line of this movie will be: "It's horny time, baby!" - Bobo Nikki Minage This has to be the best possible way to be greeted by someone you don't know when visiting a city for the first time. The movie accurately predicted smart phones (of 2013). All the handheld devices in this movie are all the same garage door opener with LCD numbers-only display hot-glued on. We know that each device does something different because the actors tell us so.

Jennider/Jessica Beals' fingernails change color between the time they meet at the club and when they bone zone at his place, which is presumably the same night. They're very dark at the club and bright red at his place.

In my mind, the therapist from Vampires Kiss (especially in the fantasy scenes) was the inspiration for the therapist from Crank 2

When you're a cowboy poet making sweet love to the wind, all winds are Chicago style because the sauce is on top.

I heard "Snake clickbait" not as clickbait about snakes but clickbait for snakes. 10 Plump Mice Begging to be Swallowed Whole - Number Sss will shock you!

On Overcast.fm it looked as though every episode of HDTGM premiered today so the unplayed tab had dozens of episodes and you have to manually delete them or unsubscribe and re-subscribe. In the absence of any actual information, I blame the intern.

How did I get Nancy? This is bullshit!

My teenager daughter and I watched it together (75% of the references went over her head) and she pointed to an interesting response she found on Tumblr which I will paraphrase horribly: Each group of characters represents a different genre of 80's movie. The kids are in a sci fi movie where their friendship is tested (ET, etc.) The teenagers are in Halloween + Pretty in Pink. Hoop and Joyce are in a pre-X-Files conspiracy flick. Nothing they try works until all the storylines come together near the end because they only see things from their genre's perspective.

For 1982/3, a text adventure game on a TRS-80 would probably have been more accurate. I used to play them on my Trash-80 all the time because I was (am) a huge nerd. Because you couldn't store anything (without sacrificing your Queen's Greatest Hits cassette) I learned to write games super fast. I thought it would impress girls.

Those kids talking in Italian and French as if the French invented pizza- ugh. Can you imagine an alternate universe in which French chefs invented pizza and people loved it? A disc of croissant slathered in fatty cream sauce and topped with bœuf bourguignon and brie. Actually, that does not sound horrible now that I think about it.

I like to think that Wednesday and Suzuki Beane were reluctant friends in "square" school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P909e3DznY8

Barb's Trapper Keeper game is strong. I was a kid in this era, and I knew a lot of Barbs- rectilinear eyewear, serious Martha Plimpton vibe. Barbs are awesome.

On an unrelated note - anyone finish Stranger Things? I remember playing the Atari 2600 version as a kid

It's like Taylor Dane took a meeting with the guys from Hollywood Handbook and they were like "you know what would be a great career move for you? Becoming Bonnie Tyler. Is she avail? Last I heard she was holding out for a hero during a total eclipse or something. Somebody call her up and tell her to stop smoking for five minutes so she can write Taylor a song!"

Paul: OK, ma'am give us your your alternate title, your best JCVD impression, and your question. Go! Audience Member: Well, Timecop: Roger Coreman's Terminator? Um, "Ah ahm a streht fedder." Also... Jenny, you're adopted.
