In this episode of the show our brief expedition into 80s sci-fi comedies gets physical as we discuss the Joe Dante-directed Innerspace. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk – and argue passionately – about Joe Dante’s brand of filmmaking that bridges Spielbergian blockbuster sensibilities, attempts at a spoof and a thick filter of Looney Tunes comedy that some of us see as an extension of a very long genre tradition. We also discuss this movie as a pastiche of James Bond films and a big screen recreation of what viewers found in spades on television in that time, Martin Short’s comedic appeal, Dennis Quaid’s star potential and much more!
