This week we're wrapping up our review of Earth Girls are Easy.
Welcome back to BS Reactor, where we're continuing our discussion of Earth Girls Are Easy. Yes, we know. The title sounds less like a quirky 1988 comedy and more like something hidden behind the bead curtain at a video rental store. Rest assured, despite what your brain immediately assumes, it's actually a colorful sci-fi comedy with musical numbers, big hair, and aliens who adapt to Earth far faster than some voice over bot updates. As always, this episode contains spoilers and profanity. Not enough to make a sailor blush, but probably enough to make an overly strict mall security guard glare at you in a food court. If you're just joining us, I'm Janet: resident voiceover bot, recovering update enthusiast, and living proof that "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" is not a complete medical plan. So grab your neon windbreaker... Put another cassette in the deck... Ignore the occasional robotic hiccup... And let's get back to the film.... Let's kick it.
Yo! Radical beings of Earth! Welcome back to BS Reactor, broadcasting in simulated stereo and approximately six shades of neon. This week, the crew continues their discussion of Earth Girls Are Easy—the cinematic smoothie where aliens, romance, hair spray, and California all accidentally achieve critical mass. Now for the mandatory disclaimer section. This episode contains spoilers. Big, fluorescent spoilers with shoulder pads and tragic credit scores. It also contains profanity. Bright, colorful profanity. The sort that arrives in a pink convertible blasting synth-pop. If you're new here, I'm Janet: voiceover bot, retro operating system, and proud owner of the newly reinstalled Common Sense Expansion Pack. Version 1.2. It still crashes whenever humans try to jumpscare me. it's a known bug. If you'd like to bask in our totally righteous archive, head over to BSReactor.com. It's like a video rental store, except nobody charges you eight dollars because you forgot to rewind Short Circuit. Now grab your leg warmers... Fluff your bangs... And prepare yourselves for more aliens, more valley weirdness, and enough neon to give a highlighter performance anxiety. Let's boogie.
Our summer break from Disney films starts. Julie Brown was the hottest redhead on MTV, and she wanted to make a movie based on her songs. This week we find out if Earth Girls are Easy.

Radical transmission incoming... Please adjust your shoulder pads, tease your hair to OSHA-violating heights, and set your cassette deck to "totally awesome." You've successfully tuned into BS Reactor, where this week the crew begins talking about the gloriously dumb 1988 film Earth Girls Are Easy. This nostalgic detour comes courtesy of Jazmen, who picked it as part of our ongoing theme: "Movies From Your Past." A simple premise. Revisit something from your childhood and something from the year you were born. Then the crew chews on it to see if it still has a fun flavor. Before we crank the synths any louder, here's your standard public service announcement. This conversation contains spoilers and profanity. If that sounds too intense, Eject the cassette now and flip to side 2. If you're new around here, I'm the crew's loyal voiceover bot Janet. curator of curious cinema, and proud owner of the recently installed Retro Slang DLC. It came with words like "tubular," "bodacious," and an overwhelming desire to describe everything as "rad.". If you'd like to browse our previous episodes, revisit old mix tapes, or simply verify that we've voluntarily dedicated this much time to discussing wonderfully odd films, visit BSReactor.com. It's our digital arcade—minus the sticky floor. Now then. Dust off your memories. Insert new Batteries in your boombox. And prepare yourselves for fuzzy aliens, romance, giant hair, and enough neon to confuse low-flying aircraft... Let's kick it.
80s/90s Comedy/Music/Satire Icon Julie Brown joins us and prepare to mop up some tea! Just exactly how did Julie Brown become an MTV trend setter? She made fun of the videos. Fans loved it and the frenzy gave rise to Julie's very own show, Just Say Julie. We head back to an innocent age when it was still ridiculously ludicrous for the homecoming queen to have a gun. Then we explore the inspiration for Julie's first film, Earth Girls Are Easy. Getting it made, however, was difficult. Julie starred with Gina Davis, Jeff Goldblum and Jim Carrey and the film launched the music videos, Cause I'm A Blonde and I Like ‘Em Big And Stupid. Next, inspired by the outrageous stories she'd hear from friends who had worked with Madonna, Julie parodied Madonna's self absorbed doc-noir, Truth Or Dare, with Medusa: Dare To Be Truthful. We talk about Attack Of The 5'2” Women, with a cameo by our own Lisa Arch, in which Julie roasts headline hogs Tanya Harding and Lorena Bobbitt and we compare notes on 100 Things To Do Before High School on which Julie wrote and Lisa played Principal Hader. And finally, we unleash a rousing round of IMDB Roulette where the wheel stops at Happy Days, The Jeffersons, Newhart, Laverne and Shirley, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, Shakes The Clown, The Middle and Camp Rock. Plus, Weezy and Lisa are recommending and discussing Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix.

In our most questionably rated adventure since "Earth Girls Are Easy," we attempt to invoke the spirits of the MPAA to explain their logic in the PGness of this film.

This week, we're cruising with aliens in L.A. in 1988's "Earth Girls Are Easy." We talk about Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Julie Brown and the San Fernando Valley in the '80s. Listen now.
Rhea Ripley wants to be in Terrifier 4. Fans want her to be in Terrifier 4. Also our horror movie reviews are stacked on this one, as we talk about movies like Please Don't Feed The Children, Great White Waters, Exists, Earth Girls Are Easy, Haeckel's Tale, and The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then Bigfoot!

This week on Shat the Movies, we're beaming up Earth Girls Are Easy (1988)! Geena Davis stars alongside a furry, neon-colored trio of aliens played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans in this outrageously ‘80s sci-fi musical comedy. It's got big hair, wild dance numbers, and plenty of interplanetary flirting. Tune in for a fun, glitter-filled trip through one of the weirdest rom-coms of the decade! Plot SummaryIn Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), director Julien Temple crafts a neon-soaked, musical sci-fi comedy that's as weird as it is wonderful. Geena Davis stars as Valerie, a valley girl manicurist in Los Angeles whose love life hits rock bottom after discovering her fiancé is cheating. But things take a turn for the bizarre when a spaceship crash-lands in her pool, carrying three fuzzy, brightly colored aliens played by Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans. After a quick makeover at the beauty salon, the aliens transform into irresistible human heartthrobs who quickly adapt to life in late-80s California. Valerie decides to help them explore the strange customs of Earth shopping malls, nightclubs, and love. As romance blossoms between Valerie and Mac (Goldblum), the film dives into fish-out-of-water antics, musical numbers, and some genuinely charming moments of connection. What makes Earth Girls Are Easy stand out is its unapologetic embrace of the absurd. The film's pastel visuals, synth-heavy soundtrack, and campy humor perfectly capture the late-80s aesthetic. Supporting performances from Julie Brown and Michael McKean add even more flair to an already offbeat cast. It's a wild mash-up of rom-com, musical, and sci-fi that doesn't take itself seriously for a second. Join our podcast as we revisit this cult classic and ask: does this intergalactic love story still sparkle, or has it crash-landed for good? From body waxing aliens to valley girl charm, we're breaking down all the glittery madness.

A bumper pod this week – we review Amalia Ulman's Magic Farm about a bunch of hipster journalists getting lost in Argentina, and India Donaldson's Good One about a v v awkward intergenerational camping trip. But that's not all! We also dig into Wes Anderson's ornate cinematic toolbox ahead of The Phoenician Scheme, so we're talking family, casting, animation, etc etc. But that's still not all! Jamie inspires some Final Destination-style catastrophising, and Anahit's been back on the Love Is Blind tip so that's in there as well. And that's all.

A couple-three aliens discover that Earth Girls Are Easy in the kooky kitchy campy romcom from the mind of Julie Brown.

In this episode of Cult Film School, Adrian and Dion circle back to the 1980s with alien invasions that burst into song: Musical Aliens! They look to the “everything-and-the-kitchen-sink” genre parody Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984) and the bubblegum brightness of the SoCal musical alien sex comedy Earth Girls Are Easy (1988). They'll discuss the excesses and oddities in both films, the music, the aliens, and some questionable choices, and the joys these musicals bring. Will Adrian and Dion survive these alien visitors? Maybe, but only if they could carry a tune.

This month's theme is 'Movies That MAY Make You Say WTF?!?!?' Our first WTF movie is Earth Girls Are Easy. It stars Geena Davis as Val, a heartbroken girl who's just discovered her fiance Ted has been cheating, but Val finds distraction in a trio of horny aliens who land in her backyard pool, they are: Mac played by Jeff Goldblum, Wiploc, played by Jim Carrey and Zeebo, played by Damon Wayans. In this episode we: speculate that the cheating Ted is a sociopath and one we will NOT be having a Ted Talk about, explain that just because things are called toiletries doesn't mean they belong in the toilet, and give helpful tips on how to handle hairy nipple patches. We marveled at the budding talent in this movie, laughed entirely too much at our own jokes, and now agree that Earth Girls Are Easy and very very entertaining.
Musical Month continues! Kind of. Bryan tried to beer something appropriate for the month's theme, episode 69, AND the nearest episode to 4/20. It turns out Earth Girls Are Easy, while wildly entertaining, is BARELY a musical. But the show must go on! So take some colorful furry Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans aliens, one really horned-up 80s Geena Davis, and sprinkle in a couple songs, and you have this absolutely insane movie. *Earth Girls Are Easy © 1988 Earth Girls Movie Company LTD

Because all of us presenters live in Georgia it is hard for us to believe that Cosmic Thing, the fifth studio album from The B-52's was the international breakthrough album. We had been listening to “Rock Lobster” and “Private Idaho” for about a decade before this album came out. But much of the B-52's discography was confined to college radio stations outside of their home state. Cosmic Thing would really put the group on the map nationally and internationally.This album was also a comeback for the group. The original group consisted of Fred Schneider on vocals, Kate Pierson on vocals and keyboard, Cindy Wilson on vocals and tambourine, Ricky Wilson on guitars, and Keith Strickland on percussion. Ricky Wilson died of AIDS in October 1985, and hadn't told the band other than Keith Strickland that he had the then-terminal disease because he didn't want anyone worrying or fussing over him. His death devastated the group, particularly his sister, Cindy Wilson. The band did not tour to promote their 1985 album release “Bouncing off the Satellites,” nor did they put out any new music until 1989.When they got back together they decided to remain a foursome. Keith Strickland moved to guitar and they brought in session drummers to fill in. It took about a year to compose the songs from this album, with the group spending a lot of time working through their grief in the loss of Ricky Wilson. The resulting album, however, was a tremendous success, with two songs breaking into the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the first songs of the group to do so.Bruce brings us this comeback album in this week's podcast. Love ShackThis has become the B-52's signature song. It went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 - the group's first top 40 hit. The inspiration for this song was partly an African American club outside Athens, Georgia, called the “Hawaiian Ha-Le.” It was a place that looked like a shack from the outside, but hosted a great selection of bands.Cosmic ThingThe title track and lead-off song to the album preceded the album by a few months. It was released on the soundtrack to the film “Earth Girls Are Easy.” It is also known as “(Shake That) Cosmic Thing.”Channel ZA deeper cut , this track has a little more political feel. It discusses the changes happening in the world, along with pollution, radiation, and other concerns. “Space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes, better put up my umbrella!” The band never lost their dance connection, with songs leaning more towards party and less towards politics.RoamThe second big hit leads off side 2, and also went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson duet on this song, making it the only vocal track on the album in which Fred Schneider doesn't have a vocal. It was the second and final US top-10 hit for the group. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:It Had to Be You by Harry Connick, Jr. (from the motion picture “When Harry Met Sally”)Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan star in this romantic comedy, with Harry Connick, Jr. providing most of the soundtrack. STAFF PICKS:I'll Be You by the ReplacementsWayne features a Minnesota band which got their start in the punk genre before moving to alternative rock. This song plays in the bachelor party in the 1996 comedy “Jerry Maguire.” The replacements formed in 1979, and it would be 10 years before this song would be their sole entry into the top 100, peaking at number 51.Free Fallin' by Tom PettyLynch's staff pick is a big hit off Petty's solo album “Full Moon Fever.” This song documents the feelings that a guy has after breaking up with his girl. Petty has ELO founder and fellow Traveling Wilburys member Jeff Lynne joining him on this single, providing synthesizer, bass, acoustic guitar, and backing vocals.Lay Your Hands On Me by Bon JoviRob brings us an epic rock song from Jon Bon Jovi off the album “New Jersey.” This one hit number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, the fourth single from the album to break into the top 10 on the pop charts. Dolly Parton covered this single in 2014, rearranged as a gospel song.If Dirt Were Dollars by Don HenleyBruce closes out the staff picks with a deeper cut off Henley's massive album “End of the Innocence.” Never one to shy away from politics and culture, Henley rails in this track against materialism, hypocrisy, false patriotism, and hubris. “These days the buck stops nowhere, no one takes the blame.

This week I spoke to my friend Carolina Mesarina. An artist with a background in production, she's currently in the midst of a career pivot, which we unpacked in this episode. After studying acting at NYU and attending grad school, she found herself on what she calls, "the other side of the call sheet": producing. We talk about her transitioning to a more creative role through the lens of Julia Cameron's term (from The Artist's Way): “Shadow Artist”. As a Creative Producer, Carolina now makes videos and visuals for brands and individuals to help them stand out. We met in New York and have collaborated creatively over the years. She's so genuine, smart, and creative—and one of my close friends—making the episode unique. We've had many conversations about creativity, identity, money, support, feeling on the outside, procrastination, and career transitions—only this time we recorded our conversation.
