This week TJ and Tony dust off their "Sneak Previews" sweaters to review the cult classic Caveman, starring Ringo Starr.

Is this difficult-to-stream comedy superior to A Hard Day's Night?
Is this hard-to-watch romp more enjoyable than Two Virgins?
Is it better than a stag film shown in a small room at Beatlefest 81?

In this spoiler-laden assessment, the Tangential Two wax nostalgic about the golden era of NBC's Thursday night line-up, Ribbie and Roobarb, and a pre-Fox television landscape.

Meanwhile, R.E.M. finds their way within blowtorch range of a Barenaked Ladies/They Might Be Giants hot take. Plus TJ and Tony dream of turning this celluloid oddity into a cruise ship musical that's sure to win a coveted "Code Oscar."

See you at the movies!
