A place for lovers of B movies to come together and talk about them.
Rules:
- Be most excellent to one another. (Don't be a jerk)
- Try not to repost movies that have already been posted. (If it has been over 12 months feel free to repost)
- If posting links for people to watch the movies let them be legal ones. (Free is best but not when it's shady, you dig?)
- Have fun and enjoy all the awesomeness that B movies can bring you.

Sometimes I would expect some sort of targeted advertising to be responsible, but I heard about the film through the most random means I can imagine:
A friend went to a Halloween party and saw a guy wearing alpaca chaps as his costume (because he had just gotten back from...Ecuador, I think?). My partner was shown a picture of said chaps and was describing them to her work friends, when a different coworker overheard and excitedly interrupted "like the guy from Buckaroo Banzai?!" At which point everyone stared at him until he told us about the movie, which he hadn't seen since about 2001.
Either way, it's definitely now on the watchlist, to be sure. Did you find it on a streaming service?
I am currently reading the book Ready Player One and it was referenced. I was surprised that I had never heard of it so I decided to start watching it. Hopefully I will get time to finish it this weekend, the beginning was pretty good.
