I'm sad that our time with #therock is coming to an end. Like all people one gets to know well, I have become both fonder and way more annoyed by him. We end with our series with the surprisingly fun film JUNGLE CRUISE.

From our episode about THE SHINING: You have to wonder, between that movie and EYES WIDE SHUT... maybe #stanleykubrick was actually a prude with a limited sexual imagination. #moviepodcast #horrormovies #stephenking

So, #stephenking directed a movie in the '80s called MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE. He admitted later he had no idea what he was doing and that he was coked out of his mind. You can tell... and that's probably why it's a pretty fun movie. #horrorpodcast #movies #moviepodcast #80smovies

And finally, we looked at the perplexing decision to move #doug to #disney / ABC and retool it for the x-treme, baggy pant-wearing, Surge-drinking, nu-metal listening kids of the late '90s. Also, there was a stage show at #disneyworld #mgmstudios. youtu.be/xoUh87z9PYI?...

THE ELM-CHANTED FOREST is an obscure animated movie from the '80s, and, if nothing else, it has the only threesome joke I've ever seen in a children's cartoon. #moviepodcast #animation #obscuremedia
