Short Circuit (1986)

The boys are coming to you from Astoria, Oregon with a review of 1986’s Short Circuit from INSIDE of Stephanie’s house!  This is a fun one where we tackle the important questions.  Is Johnny Five still one of the most lovable movie robots ever created? How do the practical effects somehow still look this good nearly 40 years later? Is Ally Sheedy secretly doing all the heavy lifting? How did Steve Guttenberg end up feeling like a supporting character? And what do we even begin to do with Fisher Stevens’ performance through a modern-day lens?  Grab some input.  LET’S GO! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:05:15  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:17:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:16:00 - Modern day ratings STAY IN THIS HOUSE- https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/49148187?source_impression_id=p3_1790094890_P3vHbqUYUrvLCnoS  LIVE PODCAST-  October 10th in Cedar Rapids, IA-  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-confused-breakfast-a-live-podcast-recording-tickets-1026951990047  —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Ethos-  Get your free quote at http://ethos.com/breakfast  **Butcher Box-  Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.
