Just catching up on your podcasts and wanted to say that you mention that people said that Peter Weller is more of a sci-fi icon than Leonard Nimoy. while that might be true, the reason people said that is NOT b/c of stupid Robocop but the brilliant “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” in which he played a nueroscientis rock star surgeon space-traveler. It’s a cult classic that you should watch, esp before being incredulous that people could make that comment. It’s a lot of fun, that movie.
“is an American science fiction film that has reached cult film status.[1][2] It was released in 1984, directed and produced by W. D. Richter, and concerns the efforts of the multi-talented Dr. Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller), a physicist, neurosurgeon and rock musician to save the world by defeating a band of inter-dimensional aliens called Red Lectroids from Planet 10. The film is a cross between the action/adventure and science-fiction movie genres, and also includes elements of comedy, satire, and romance. It is also made to feel like one in a series of movies, by the use of ongoing allusions to other characters, adventures and events.”
