A perfect movie for a watch party. Ages better than most comedies from 1985. Surprisingly, I had absolutely no awareness of the movie until now.

I remember where I was the first time I saw this (well part of this). It was on tv at the house where my fake band Satan’s Beer Vomit was invented. Usually we’d drink beer, watch the early aughts relaunch of Headbangers Ball & joke about how bad all the music was. For whatever reason the part of this movie with a claymation burger singing Van Halen ended up on the tv that night & I had no clue what could possibly be going on. Shortly after this I tracked down a copy on VHS at Goodwill & watched it A TON. I think of this as an early form of anti-comedy really. A lot of the humor is about a teen repeatedly failing to commit suicide. And it’s the 80s so there’s questionable depictions of minorities… but not quite in the way you’d expect for the time. There’s also an infinitely more interesting movie going on in the background of this 1 (a movie about Badger. What on earth is that little boy doing?).
