220 Buffalo Soldiers 2003

Released after 9/11 and the start of the war in Iraq this film left American audiences pretty damn angry. Criminal GIs and low life, if not outright incompetent military officers, were not going with the prevailing zeitgeist to say the least.

218 Cocktail 1988

Show Notes Look, a movie can be dumber than a box of rocks and still work…or not. We will discuss. But here is the real question, were drinking and dining establishments wildly understaffed in the late 80s? Because every place in this film looks packed and yet only one or two people seem to be on staff. WTF?

217 Flight of the Navigator 1986

Technically, a child abduction movie but as Disney is the producer the abduction is done for laughs. You see the abductor is an alien spaceship that sounds an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman.

214 Manhattan Murder Mystery 1993

We kick off union movie month (in March, get it?) with this chestnut from the forties picked by our Patreons.
