Short Circuit (1986) Filmsack Show Notes

INTRO

Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack we hop, hop, weee…. squash a sci-fi comedy classic from 1986 and then reassemble it for your entertainment. Wait. this movie is a childhood favorite of mine and we are just going to disassemble it? as in dead? disassemble. dead. NO DISASSEMBLE!

Ibbott! Is that your food / animal abductor truck out front? Can I hold your keys for a sec. thanks. FLEE. ESCAPE! NO DISASSEMBLE CHILDHOOD!

Ok ok. I’m better now. Sorry, I just had to mourn my childhood for a moment. Look, It’s just a movie Film Skroaters…it doesn’t get pissed off. It doesn’t get happy. It doesn’t get sad. It doesn’t laugh at your jokes (I’ve tried) It just tells stories. IT usually tells stories. and sometimes those stories involve things that don’t age well. Luckily WE are ALIVE and have the potential for growth…unlike movies.

So sit back, relax and listen to us say stupid shit that probably won’t age well but hopefully we will. Who’s Randy…You Say? and you smile in that special way…you are prettier when you smile Randy.
