We’re back and protecting the world from bad movies, like Megaforce protects… wait we watched the movie and we’re still not clear on what they do. Paul & Chris invite Arden and Jacob on to discuss spandex, 80s car chase films, and a campaign to make the thumb kiss a thing. We are also introduced to the Grease Cinematic Universe.

Find Megaforce on a streaming service near you. Should you dare.

• Megaforce performance via Box Office Mojo. And the rankings for that year.
• Arden reminds us that this film has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
• This film is part of few attempts for stunt man turned director Hal Needham to have another Smokey & the Bandit.
• Oh hey, Dictionary.com has a definition for “Moose Knuckle.”

• Arden is frustrated that Michael Beck from The Warriors was in this movie.
• Actor Evan C. Kim reminds Arden of Caveman movie starring Ringo Starr.

• Playing Burt Reynolds in this film, Henry Silva.

• Honestly, we want to skip this bad green screen and watch the Supergirl Ballet again.
• Barry Bostwick’s co-star is Persis Khambatta from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
• This film is from Golden Harvest productions. The Raymond Chow and Golden Harvest Era.
• Jacob reads us sections of the Wikipedia page for this film. It is so laughable that it played a part in him choosing to watch this movie.
• While some may say Barry Bostwick’s best film is Rocky Horror Picture Show, Chris argues for another film. Behold the trailer for FDR American Badass.
• Dear Nic Cage and Bruce Willis Arden says Barry is coming for your jobs.
• It’s your favorite Low Rider Nic Cage Scene.
• We are all still hungover from watching that Neil Breen picture and that was 2 years ago.
• The A-Team disclaimer was short and to the point. The Megaforce one is boring and long-winded.
• A Thumb Kiss from Barry Bostwick. Oh no, they are really trying to make this happen in the movie.
• If you do not pay the FX team, they will take their toys back and leave your motorcycles in the sand.
• Barry changes into some Buck Rogers in the 25th Century inspired clothes.
• We still cannot get over Edward Mulhare playing the same character as he played in Knight Rider.
• It’s a motorcycle film, should it be remade with Tom Cruise, middle tooth man?
• Coy and Vance
• Team America was based on Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s love for Megaforce.
• One of the director’s first jobs was on Skidoo, another Film Frown movie.

• The skydiving scene was not Introvision, but Zoptic.
• The deep dive into Geronimo!
• Sauron makes a guest appearance in the movie?
• Always remember Jacob’s hat is like a shark fin.
• The original Adama, Lorne Green sells dog food.
• More interesting than Megaforce is Spock’s Brain on VHS.
