Hang out with Scotty, Trevor and Heather as they discuss the John Hughes film from 1985, Weird Science starring Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith and Kelly LeBrock.
“I'm scanning pornography into the computer to make a lady!” - Eric as George W. Bush On this week's show, we're chatting about the 1985 John Hughes-directed, sci-fi sex comedy, Weird Science! How strange is it that back in the day, these creep-tacular incels were just considered harmless, lovable nerds? Why would they cut out all the solid Bride of Frankenstein conversation from the theatrical cut? Has there been a better titular song in cinema? Is this weird science, or weird computer magic? How cool is all the reversed footage at the end? And are those grandparents dead or what? PLUS: Christopher Nolan - huge Weird Science fan? Weird Science stars Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Suzanne Snyder, Judie Aronson, Robert Downey Jr., Robert Rusler, Vernon Wells, Britt Leach, Michael Berryman, and the late, great Bill Paxton as Chet; directed by John Hughes.

We're back to school and already we want to drop out, thanks to what might be John Hughes' worst movie, an obnoxious take on Pygmalian that had us begging for Bill Paxton's Chet to come back to the movie early and bully these horrible little nerds. A film with only one redeeming value--a pretty great theme song. Starring Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Bill Paxton, and Robert Downey Jr. Written and directed by John Hughes.

Book Vs. Movie: The Chocolate War Robert Cormier 1974 YA Novel Vs. The 1988 Keith Gordon FilmThis September, the Margos are going to cover books that have been placed on “Banned Books” lists at schools and libraries in America over the last 100+ years, starting with The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, which has consistently been banned in high schools for language, religious questioning, and sexual imagery since its publication. The story of Jerry Renault, a lonely high school freshman at a Catholic school mourning the loss of his mother and trying to figure out how to find his way in life while maintaining his individuality. The main high school clique, the Vigils, run by creepy Archie, wants Charlie to refuse to sell chocolates to make him stand out (badly) to Brother Leon. Leon needs to sell 20,000 boxes of chocolates because he borrowed too much cash ahead of time and the school administration is close to finding this out. When Jerry is “allowed” by the Vigils to sell the chocolates, he continues to refuse to cause an escalation of destabilization and violence at the school. Was it worth it for him to “disturb the universe?” The film, directed by Keith Gordon, was made for a tiny budget (used mostly for the kickass 80s soundtrack featuring Kate Bush and Yaz) and made little impact at the time. It is now having a revival due to the popularity of Bush's Running Up That Hill feature on the Netflix show Stranger Things. So between the book and the film, which did we like better?In this ep, the Margos discuss:Banned Books and recent U.S. issues with this at schools across the nationThe themes of the book Why this movie may be controversial and why it also strikes a chord with readersThe cast: John Glover (Brother Leon,) IIan Mitchell-Smith (Jerry,) Doug Hutchinson (Obie,) Wallace Langham (Archie,) Corey Gunnestad (Goober,) Brent Fraser (Emile,) Robert Davenport (Brian Cochran,) Jenny Wright (Lisa,) Bud Cort (Brother Jacques,) Adam Baldwin (John Carter,) and Ethan Sandler as David Caroni.Clips used:Jerry refuses to sell the cookies The Chocolate War trailerBrother Leon harassed BaileyLisa meets JerryArchie and John Carter know they need to sell more chocolate.

What do you little maniacs want to do first? We're not just talking candle wax on the nipples or witchcraft, or chip, dips, chain n whips, we're talking about the renegade John Hughes movie "Weird Science" (1985) with our favorite straight brother Dylan Hay-Chapman. Kelly LaBrock is insanely fierce as Lisa, the Marry Poppins for teenage boys. The gays want to be her, and the straights well you know… We talk about all the iconique Lisa costume changes, '80s bad boy cuties Robert Downey Jr and Robert Rusler, a scene stealing Bill Paxton, and the two teenage boys (Anthony Michael Hall, and Ilan Mitchell-Smith) at the center of one of the horniest teen movies ever made.

Weird Science isn’t exactly “weird”, but it’s a classic 80’s comedy we grew up with and still find super enjoyable. Kelly LeBrock is a mega babe and Anthony Michael Hall with Ilan Mitchell-Smith are great as the nerdy, girl-oggling, horny best friends.
On Episode 014 of the RETROZEST podcast, your host Curtis Lanclos discusses WEIRD SCIENCE in honor of its 35th Anniversary (it was released on August 2, 1985)! This show contains great content about John Hughes, Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton, Robert Rusler, Robert Downey Jr., Suzanne Snyder, Judie Aronson, Britt Leach, John Kapelos & Vernon Wells.

You don’t have to be a Real Genius to know that Weird Science can get out of control. Science was all over the place in August of 1985. If you want the fiction of it, just look in Starlog Magazine. We take a look at the classic Sci-Fi publication in a new segment called Magazine Rack. Starlog Magazine, plus the sciencey movies Weird Science and Real Genius In the NEWS Longtime character actor John Saxon passes away A Transformers/Back to the Future crossover? Could that really happen? We got our first look at the live action Tom and Jerry movie Coming soon: A Back to the Future 4K set, complete with tiny floating hoverboard Please consider helping to save Space Camp for future generations of young scientists by donating to savespacecamp.com TechnoRetro Cereal - Tiger Paws Jay tries the new Kellogg’s snack and lets us know if it’s worth it. Well, if you like sweetness, it may be for you! Magazine Rack - Starlog August 1980 In a new segment on TechnoRetro Dads, we take a look back at the classic sci-fi magazine Starlog. This month’s cover story is an interview with Harrison Ford, the star of the newly released Empire Strikes Back. There are also some great articles about how the 1980’s sci-fi genre entered the 80’s. Battlestar Galactica left TV, Buck Rogers was grasping for one last chance, and a little science fiction movie from Ridley Scott, starring Harrison Ford was on the horizon. Let’s All Go to the Movies - Weird Science/Real Genius August 1985 was a rich time for science in the movies. Well, science may be a little generous when describing these films, but they certainly felt sciency. John Hughes’s Weird Science starred Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly Lebrock, and Ilan Mitchell-Smith. It tells the story of Gary and Wyatt trying to fit in with their High School peers by creating the beautiful, smart, and magical Lisa from thin air. Aahhh, remember when you did that in high school? Then, watch Val Kilmer at his finest in the classic smart people against the government story Real Genius. Chris Knight helps his roommate Mitch to build a super powerful laser, but must stop it when they realize how it’s going to be used. Both movies featured quotable lines and lots of laughs. And if you want a little science cherry on top, check out the third movie that month, My Science Project. Vinyl Scratchback - Weird Science/Real Genius Soundtrack There may have only been a few memorable songs from these movies, but the 80’s vibe was very important to the flow of both. We break down which ones were important, such as Oingo Boingo’s hit Weird Science, and the Tears for Fears favorite Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

Remaking a John Hughes classic coming of age comedy like Weird Science (1985) is no easy task. It is probably easier to conjure a hot date out of junk laying around the studio.

Following up on our previous convo with Bridge City Comics, this here's a talk with Adam & Andy from Cosmic Monkey Comics, split into two parts for easier consumption and because I can't edit audio as fast as I'd like. Warning that the recording quality in this one is a bit twitchy since I'm such an awesome audio engineer. We talk about everything from starting your own shop to Todd McFarlane stories to when Bob Mould wrote pro-wrestling for WCW. --- Also, I completely blow my references early in the ep by confusing Ilan Mitchell-Smith(from Weird Science) with Robert Carradine (from Revenge of the Nerds). We profoundly regret the error. Part 2 coming next week! ---- Notes: --- http://www.cosmicmonkeycomics.com --- 5335 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR 97213 --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndK2ej-qbws -- An awkward interview with Bob Mould by the Prima-Donns on Minneapolis Cable Access in 1999 -- We're on Facebook now!

We podcast from the Nerds Like Us midnight screening of Weird Science at the Vista Theater in LA. We talk to Bernie about his love of the film & 80s filmmaking and we interview the star of the movie, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, about his career & interest in table-top gaming.
Andy Williams (Every Time I Die) is back for a Weird Science recap episode, that involves the guys gushing over both Kelly LeBrock and Bill Paxton. Anthony subconsciously connects with a lead character and becomes overly critical of him. Then, Everyone agrees that Ilan Mitchell-Smith does justice to women's underwear.
