Join two-time Emmy Award winner Javier Grillo-Marxuach (writer-producer of Lost, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, The Witcher and creator of The Middleman) and Paul Alvarado-Dykstra (co-founder of Fantastic Fest, the leading genre film festival in the US) as they travel back in time to revisit the summer movies that shaped their generation: movie by movie, weekend by weekend, and year by year. Starting with the legendary summer of 1982, movie experts Javi and Paul - aided and abetted by the long-suffering Producer Brad - take you on an unprecedented audio adventure from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends, spanning iconic blockbusters and obscure curiosities that some may be surprised to learn even exist. Relive the joy of seeing these amazing movies with your pals on opening night as these longtime friends rewatch their childhood favorites and discuss both what it was like to see them in their teenage years, and how their perceptions have changed over the decades. It's a time machine, it's a nostalgia trip, it's a witty and incisive glance at a world of movies and memory: it's Multiplex Overthruster!

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!
