24 APR 2024 · This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana are guestless as they discuss the 1984 cult classic (why?) sci-fi comedy (?) The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.  Peter Weller stars as the neurosurgeon, rock star, racecar driving hero (honestly, did the writer’s room just sit around and think up all the cool jobs and give them all to the same guy?).  Was there any logical reason he had to have all these jobs?  He falls in love with his, get this, dead wife's long-lost identical twin sister.  Why?  Never does this pay off in the movie.  Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown and John Lithgow are all along for the ride in a movie that was obviously set up to be a franchise when they announced that Buckaroo would be back to fight the World Crime League.  But alas, this box office bomb yielded no sequel.  Now we'll never know what that league is up to.  This might be one of those movies you have to see to believe, but the podcast is a must-listen.  Enjoy!

22 APR 2024 · Jason, Andy and Dana discuss what they are watching this week.  Stay tuned for Buckaroo Banzai this Wednesday.

17 APR 2024 · This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Brady back onto the show as we all have a grand ol' time discussing the 1984 Comedy (sci-fi?, horror?) classic Ghostbusters.  For the second time this year, we decide to try to get some extra play by discussing a movie from 40 years ago that just so happens to have a 2024 version as well and hoping you all get confused and listen to this by accident.  You know and love this one.  Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver lead this All-Star cast as the government tries to shut down these hard working Americans who only wish to rid our fair city of this undocumented riff raff.  Jeez, this movie sounds like a campaign speech.  Never mind, just watch the movie and enjoy the pod.

15 APR 2024 · Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Brady back as we discuss what they are watching the week.  Stay tuned for Ghostbusters this Wedneday.

10 APR 2024 · This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Brian back onto the podcast for the first time since he stormed off in anger (over a salary dispute) to discuss the 1984 spoof-comedy Johnny Dangerously.  This movie is a 1930s gangster spoof, with a crazy deep cast.  But who are we kidding, we are most excited about Brian coming back on the podcast.  We had a good time catching up and also discussing the movie.  Three out of the four people on this podcast raved about this movie

8 APR 2024 · Jason, Andy and Dana welcome a very special guest backt o the pod (first time as a guest, hint, hint) as they discuss what they are watching this week.  Stay tuned for a very contentious Johnny Dangerously on Wedneday.  

3 APR 2024 · This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Zach back on as he forgives Andy for losing the Krull episode, and as a punishment, has us watch the 1984 afterschool-special-but-released-in-theaters Firstborn.  This movie does boast a stellar cast.  The wife from Mr. Mom, Robocop, Iron Man, the chick who looks like a foot on Sex and the City, one of the Corey's and our second appearance by the kid from Sleepaway Camp.  The bad guy in this movie?  The same bad guy from every 80s teen movie.  THE EVIL STEPDAD!!!  Avoid his creepy friends!! Prevent his abuse of your mom and younger brother!!  Thwart his cocaine dealings!!   This one turned out to be a fun one, so avoid the movie and just listen to the pod and enjoy.

1 APR 2024 · Jason, Andy and Dana welcome back Zach as we discuss what they are watching this week.  Stay tuned for Zach-picked Firstborn this Wednesday.

27 MAR 2024 · This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana are joined by first timer Jim as we discuss the 1984 sci-fi space opera (their words, not mine) The Last Starfighter.   In this movie, that could only come out of the 1980s, video games are used for recruitment tools into the intergalactic star league and luckily for the universe, one of said video games is placed in the trailer park where our hero Alex Rogan is living.  CGI is in its infancy in this movie, as everything looks pretty cartoony, but still looks better than Justice League. Robert Preston and Dan O'Herlihy come along for the ride.  This was a fun one, but not everyone seemed to be in on the fun.  Listen to the podcast and find out who.

24 MAR 2024 · Jason, Andy and Dana are joined by Jim as they discuss what they are watching this week.  The Last Starfighter is coming this Wednesday.
