Episode 105: Tapeheads + Night Patrol

It's absolute chaos here this week, as Ted Bennett stands in for Joe and we welcome Heather Drain back to talk about some truly insane 1980's cult comedies. First up, little-known John Cusack and Tim Robbins vehicle, Tapeheads (1988), directed by Bill Fishman and then, hold on to your coffee cups and look out for holes in the wall, because we collectively lose our shit while discussing Jackie Kong's Night Patrol (1984).... and that may or may not be because the film is any good.

Let's just say, plot is not really the reason to watch either of these films, so we won't be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for either of them.

Obviously, you can always expect a little blue language on our show, but fair warning: we get a little... how you say?... ribald, on this one.
