    Return of the Jedi (Part 2): Summer of '83
    May 23 2025
    The Grand Guignol of Geekery that is Paul, Javi, and - exasperatedly - Producer Brad’s deep dive into the final chapter of the first STAR WARS trilogy reaches its apotheotic conclusion in this, the second part of the first episode of our second season! Thrill as the intrepid Multiplex Overthruster crew braves not just the narrative wilds of one of the most anticipated movies of their childhood, but also the many decades of memories, opinions, and late night discussions of the saga that has defined popular culture for most of their lives! Marvel at Javi’s analysis of his misguided disdain for a movie he now realizes he loved all along! Witness in wild wonder as Paul’s gift for superlatives gets a workout for the ages! It’s a season premiere that will go down in Multiplex Overthruster lore - it’s RETURN OF THE JEDI!

  • Return of the Jedi (Part 1): Summer of '83

    Return of the Jedi (Part 1): Summer of '83
    May 22 2025
    At long last, the Summer of ’83 is here, and kicks off with the most anticipated sequel of the decade, RETURN OF THE JEDI! And since this is probably the only STAR WARS film we’ll ever get to in this podcast, it demands our first ever (and likely last) two-part episode! Buckle up as Javi, Paul and - graciously - Producer Brad dive deeper than they’ve ever dived before (what, you thought we couldn’t go deeper than STAR TREK II?) to discuss with dizzying delight the original May 25, 1983 theatrical version (Lapti Nek! Yub Nub!) of the triumphant finale of the STAR WARS trilogy for our gloriously geektacular second season premiere.

  • Summer of '82 Multi Awards!

    Summer of '82 Multi Awards!
    May 21 2025
    All great institutions bestow awards… and now so does Multiplex Overthruster! It’s our first ever Multi Awards episode, in which Paul, Javi, and - mercifully - Producer Brad run down the nominees and winners from all of the films they watched during this most august of summer movie summers. In addition to naming their Best Picture, Director, Screenplay - and so on and so on - Producer Brad has also compiled a list of superlatives (“best character introduction of all time!”) and revisits them with the benefit of hindsight to see which stood the test of time! Will Javi stand by that thing he said about Captain Morgan in “The Sword and the Sorcerer”? We won’t spoil it here. Trust us, you don't want to miss the first ever Multi Awards! Listen and share so that it won’t be the last!

  • Tempest: Summer of '82

    Tempest: Summer of '82
    May 21 2025
    The 1980s was not only a time of genre excellence, but also one of romantic comedies about surly tone-deaf white men and their indefatigable struggle to remain that way. To this semi golden age of toxic masculinity, we consign “Paul Mazursky’s Tempest,” in which an otherwise sensitive and big-hearted filmmaker somehow marshals the talents of John Cassavetes, Gena Rowlands, Susan Sarandon, Raul Julia, and (in her big screen debut) Molly Ringwald, to deliver some of the least likable characters in screen history. And it’s (vaguely) based on Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, which only leaves Paul, Javi, and - indubitably - Producer Brad filling the much needed void with some of the finest comedy commentary of their careers!

  • The Soldier: Summer of '82

    The Soldier: Summer of '82
    May 21 2025
    In the world of international espionage and Cold War intrigue there is no agent more secret than… The Soldier. This may perhaps be explained by the utter failure of this forgotten film. In this scintillating episode, a confounded Paul, Javi, and - serenely - Producer Brad investigate the first and only adventure of a would-be American James Bond in a desperate mission to uncover an international nuclear plot of international peculiar people hellbent on doing international terrible things. Sigh. It’s not a good movie, or even a coherent travelogue, but it’s possibly our funniest episode, and also among our shortest! (Though not quite as short as crazed Klaus Kinski’s confounding cameo as a sinister snow bunny assassin.)
