Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown and several members of the cast.

On this episode, we dive into the deep end of the 8th Dimension to talk about how one of the best movies of the 1980s was able to escape from the minds of writer Earl Mac Rauch and director W.D. Richter and into our consciousness, 1984’s The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

As you may be aware, the podcast is on hiatus until September. But just because we’re spending time building out our next season of episodes doesn’t mean we’re going to not be around to celebrate 80s movie history. So today, we’re launching a new feature on the website, This Day in 80s Movie History. And today, we’re going back to July 23rd, 1982.
