No great movies at the '84 box office celebrating their BIG 4-0's today, so Peter and Ron take a look back at two underrated, early-1990s ensemble dramas from big directors: Lawrance Kasdan's turn-of-the-decade Los Angeles race/class relations exploration GRAND CANYON, starring Danny Glover, Kevin Kline, and Steve Marting among others; and Ron Howard's chaotic day-in-the-life-of-newspaper expose, THE PAPER, starring Michael Keaton, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, and Randy Quaid.

But SPINAL TAP is not available on any streamer at the moment and, surprisingly, neither Ron nor Peter own it on any physical media. At press time, the DVD has been purchased and delivered and we will remedy the situation on a future episode. But, since we are looking at the Emilo Estevez, sci-fi cult hit REPO MAN this week, we thought in SPINAL TAP's place we'd look at...2024-03-021h 46THE BIG 4-0BLAME IT ON RIO / FOOTLOOSE / RIP CARL WEATHERSTHIS WEEK it's a bitter-sweet BIG 4-0 as Ron and Peter celebrate 40 trips around the sun for the cultural classic FOOTLOOSE and the legitimately insane BLAME IT ON RIO, but we also bid a fond farewell to one of our favorite 80s icons, Carl Weathers.

Today, November 23, 1983 saw the release of James L. Brooks' debut film AND multiple Oscar-winner, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT - a film Ron and Peter had been avoiding all these years due to its tearjerking, cancer subject matter; so we felt we needed a big action-comedy as an emotional palate cleanser to follow, so we decided to tackle the Sylvester Stallone-Wesley Snipes-Sandra Bullock futuristic (though we're getting closer to 2032 every year) thriller DEMOLTION MAN, which celebrated its BIG 3-0 just last month, and is a movie Peter never cared for (?!).

They focus on just one industry, nationwide.
