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!

Welcome to our first ever holiday special! Having traversed the Summer of ’82, Javi, Paul and Producer Brad are back at the multiplex to witness the whirlwind of wonders that is Jim Henson’s phantasmagoric puppetpalooza THE DARK CRYSTAL. Audiences young and old were both captivated and confounded by the strange spectacle of this creepy creature feature inexplicably intruding upon their holiday season (who on earth thought it was a good idea to release it on Dec. 17?), but its meticulous magnificence cannot be denied! Join us as we soak in the cinematic sorcery conjured by Jim Henson, Frank Oz, illustrator extraordinaire Brian Froud, and Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz. And this episode is special in more ways than one, as Javi shares his amazing experience working on the film’s Emmy-winning prequel series he helped write and produce, THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE.
