Tell him yes on one and no on two. This week we are covering the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension with Kevin Fournier from the Going Through Who podcast and we talk about the incoherence of this movie and why it may be hard to follow basic plot points of this film, although we explain why it’s a miracle that it makes an ounce of sense. Does this hinder the watch for a first time viewer? Plus, all the aliens are named John including the females, we discuss why that detail wasn’t important for the movie’s storytelling but also could’ve indicated how ahead of it’s time it was when it came to gender identity and does the license plate on the test vehicle mean it was the 88th test run or is there a hidden music reference instead?
