B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 7The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)Polish your oscillation overthrusters and tune that electric guitar… The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is strapping in for a trip across the 8th Dimension. This week, Duncan & The Baz dive into The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), a heady cocktail of sci-fi action, rock ’n’ roll swagger, and the kind of plot that could only be explained with diagrams… if anyone had bothered to make them.In this universe-hopping caper, Peter Weller’s Buckaroo Banzai isn’t just a neurosurgeon…he’s also a rock star, physicist, test pilot, and part-time dimension traveler. Flanked by his oddly dressed Hong Kong Cavaliers (featuring a cowboy-clad Jeff Goldblum), Buckaroo takes on a gang of Red Lectroids from Planet 10 led by a magnificently unhinged John Lithgow as Dr. Emilio Lizardo — a man whose every line delivery is a masterclass in unfiltered lunacy.---In This Episode:Trying to explain the plot without sounding concussed.Jeff Goldblum’s wardrobe choices..cattle wrangling meets quantum physics?We marvel on the range of John Lithgow and could the be the best cast for a B-Movie ever?.Why so many careers Buckaroo?---Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:Lithgow’s accent… somewhere between Italian, Russian, and pure chaos.Ellen Barkin’s damsel act, complete with mysterious twin subplot.The Oscillation Overthruster…I’m gonna need an explanation.BIGBOOTE!!We dig into whether Buckaroo Banzai is a hidden cult masterpiece that rewards repeat viewings, or simply the world’s most expensive inside joke. Either way, it’s a joyride through a universe where logic takes a back seat to sheer, unapologetic style…and we wouldn’t have it any other way.---So rev your jet car, keep your overthruster handy, and remember… evil aliens could be living in New Jersey, and they’re probably cranky about it.Until next time, stay curious, stay bizarre, and keep one foot in this dimension. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.---Next Episode Drops Friday, October 10th 2025Sharpen your swords, befriend a ferret, and prepare for some serious loincloth action…next time, we’re venturing into The Beastmaster (1982).
