BMFcast84 – Polymath
Ahh the 80s when pink and purple wide untied ties were considered cool.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension (1984) is this week’s review from 1984. That title was long enough to type so we’ll let the review speak for itself.
Second half we pick our winners for the Facebook Fan contest as we cross 100! Plus, we take a voicemail topic and discuss our favorite Westerns/Samurai films.

Deathstalker (1983) is reviewed and we feel violated. Just kidding, we totally consented to watch it! SmarmyJerkface Chuck also consented to join us for this one.
Second half we discuss Super 8, Super and From Paris With Love. Plus Zapped! isn’t the film we remember it being. Enjoy!

Super 8 – A Review
Captain, there be lens flares ahead!
My review of Super 8. Spoiler tags applied and hidden until later.
In the simplest of terms, I adored this movie. Let me start off there because you’ll be able to better appreciate the gushing that is about to follow. Everything you have heard about this being a throwback movie is spot on, with a few notable exceptions. The tone of this movie feels ripped from my childhood of Spielberg, Zemeckis, Donner and Lucas (before he stopped caring) movies built for kids but not childish. The kids talk in believable ways and the filmmakers don’t feel the need to break the fourth wall to make elementary school level jokes or go for the typical overacting child annoyances. It is a thrill ride rooted in heart and these days, that’s a rare thing.

Stay classy, 1984.
Class of 1984 (1982) continues our ’80s marathon. It came down to this or Q: The Winged Serpent. Did we choose right? Find out.
Then in the second half we take a bevy of various types of mail. Answer a quick topic and finish up by talking X-Men: First Class. Enjoy!

BMFcast81 – Land of Race Car Blah Blahs
Tell me this isn’t the poster to a movie you want to see.
The Last Chase (1981) begins our quest of movies from the 80s by episode number. Lee Majors drives a race car. Burgess Meredith drives a fighter jet sent to destroy said race car. How can this not be fun?
Second half we gush for a while about our amazing fans by taking a voicemail and taking a peak at Curt’s package *ahem*. Then we talk Pirates 4. You don’t get a link to that one. It’s already made enough money for its own mediocrity.

BMFcast80 – Like, Totally
This movie proves blondes really are more worthless human beings.
Totally Blonde (2001? 2003?) starring Krista Allen is reviewed this episode, based on our first female caller to the BMFcast Hotline. I hear Michael Bublé might sing in this one!
Second half we kill it with a voicemails, talk Easy A and Maki finally gets around to seeing The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift to complete his collection. Enjoy!

BMFcast79 – Spacula
At least they finished the cover.
Dracula 3000 (2004) a movie 996 years ahead of its time. This episode we are minus a BJ and plus a Zark and Tobias to fill the shoes. The Coolio principle is still in full effect here.
Second half it’s voicemail mania and we talk Thor.

BMFSpoilCast06 – Fast Five
I live my life five movies at a time.
This SpoilCast is all about Fast Five (2011) or The Fast and the Furious Part Five if you’re not into that whole brevity thing. We seriously can’t recommend this movie strongly enough. Get out and see it if you enjoy things going fast and getting wrecked by giant safes.

BMFcast78 – Half Dollar, Master Thespian
Totally P.I.M.P.
Gun (2010) stars renaissance man Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. He wrote and starred in this ode to firearms. Also there’s plenty of Val Kilmer in it. But there’s plenty of Val Kilmer these days.
Second half we take an epic voicemail from halfway round the world. Then we do our breakdown of the 2011 Summer Movie Season. Enjoy!
