About this listen

Description: Join JR Sparrow and Stacey Sparrow as they kick off a new monthly series revisiting classic (and not-so-classic) films from 1986! In this episode, they dive into the infamous "Howard the Duck"—the first Marvel theatrical release since 1944 and a movie often cited as one of the worst ever made. Hear about JR’s excitement over his first 4K UHD experience, Stacey’s deep-dive into the Golden Raspberry Awards, and the duo’s hilarious reactions to the film’s cringe-worthy moments, animatronics, and unexpected cast.

Highlights:

  • The story behind buying an 80-inch TV and discovering 4K movies
  • Why "Howard the Duck" is both terrible and oddly entertaining
  • Fun facts about the Golden Raspberry Awards (the “Razzies”)
  • Marvel movie history and the film’s connection to George Lucas
  • Notable cast members: Lea Thompson and Tim Robbins
  • Animatronics nostalgia and 80s movie magic
  • Listener call-to-action: Suggest your favorite 1986 movies for future throwback reviews!
