Episode 4 - Repo Man

This week, Jon is back in charge of programming, and the Goodman-Wolter household is slam-dancing in a parking lot, metaphorically speaking, to 1984's punk-rock-sci-fi-social-satire-comedy-thriller Repo Man. Jon makes an attempt to go off on tangents delving into the career of Zander Schloss. Ali valiantly resists Jon's attempts to go off on tangents delving into the career of Zander Schloss.

Repo Man was written and directed by Alex Cox, and stars Emilio Estevez, Harry Dean Stanton, Sy Richardson, Tracy Walter, and the legendary Zander Schloss.

Episode 3 - Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Oh do they? This week, Ali shows Jon a little slice of her childhood with 1985's Girls Just Want To Have Fun, a look at the sordid underbelly of Chicagoland dance competitions. Jon is baffled by the lack of Chicago accents and the sub-Blues Brothers level of Chicago geographical continuity. Ali struggles to get a word in edgewise.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun was directed by Alan Metter and written by Amy Spies and stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Not-Joey-Lawrence, and Jonathan Silverman. It does not star Shannon Doherty, no matter what the poorly photoshopped cover leads you to believe. Seriously, Biff Yeager has more screen time.

Episode 2 - Commando

Dismayed by the lack of action in last week's movie, Jon decides to show Ali the ur-Schwartzenegger action fest, Commando. Ali attempts to take a body count. Jon attempts to not do an Arnold impression. Guess which one was successful?*

Commando also stars Rae Dawn Chong, Alyssa Milano, David Patrick Kelly, Vernon Wells, and the great, unpronounceable Dan Hedaya. It was directed by Mark L. Lester, and one of the contributing writers was responsible for one of the dumbest Batman villains ever.

There are spoilers for this 30 year old movie, if you've somehow never seen it.

*Trick question. Neither one was successful.

Episode 1 - Over The Top

In this episode, Ali shows Jon the single greatest movie Stallone ever made about semi-professional arm wrestling. Jon is baffled about whether this movie is an action movie or a Lifetime movie. Ali knows a lot more of the soundtrack than Jon is comfortable with. Over the Top stars Sylvester Stallone, Robert Loggia, and David Mendenhall; directed by Menahem Golem.

Oh, and uh…like all MMIS episodes, this will have spoilers.
