147. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)

This week, we review The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), W.D. Richter’s cult sci-fi adventure that blends absurd comedy, interdimensional warfare, and rock 'n' roll swagger. Peter Weller stars as Buckaroo Banzai, a neurosurgeon, physicist, test pilot, and rock star who must stop evil aliens from Planet 10 before they destroy Earth. With a genre-bending plot, a brainy hero squad, and a cast that includes John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, and Ellen Barkin, this film dives headfirst into the bizarre.

Is saving the world rocket science or just another gig for a rock 'n' roll physicist? Listen on to find out!
