In my opinion, Joe Dante is a true author. You can immediately recognize his huge personality as a filmaker by whatching any of his works. He's always had a great love for horror and sci-fi B movies of the 50's (the legendary Roger Corman was his mentor). All his filmography is full of references to those films and he's always paying tribute and homage to them. I truly recomend you any other of his gems: Piranha, The Howling, Innerspace, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Explorers, Matinee... (you've already watched "Gremlins"). By the way: you didn't say much about the amazing soundtrack by legendary Jerry Goldsmith, who composed the music for all Dante's movies since Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) untill his death.

The "doctor" was Henry Gibson: if you saw "The Blues Brothers", he played one of the Neo Nazis. I'm very happy that you mention Bruce Dern, one of my lifelong favorite actors. He's done everything - starring roles, bit parts, drama, comedy, and he nails it every time. A VERY underrated actor, whose films you should check out. I won't suggest any - there's too many to choose from, but I first saw him in either "Silent Running", "Support Your Local Sheriff", or "The Wild Angels", when I was a kid. He's actually been in 3 Tarantino films, playing small parts: "Hateful Eight", "Django Unchained", and "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", and is still very busy.

Even bit parts like "Marnie" and "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte".

In California v. Greenwood, the Supreme Court ended up ruling in favor of investigators and held that “the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the warrantless search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside the curtilage of a home.” The case involved the protections extended by the 4th Amendment and the limits of the exclusionary rule. Here’s why that’s important. The state of California argued that the trash at the curb is outside the “curtilage,” or area of reasonable control, of the homeowner. It is not within the protection of the 4th Amendment, for any passerby could have access to it.

My parents wouldn't let me see Ghostbusters when it came out, but they took me to this at age 10 and it scared the everloving shit out of me. Good job, mom and dad! Ghosts aren't real and so aren't truly scary, but I've been looking over my shoulder for Klopeks for three decades now.

OMFG I just noticed and then realized something! @ 12:55 when they’re in Walter’s house, you can see some framed photos in the shot. One is of Walter but another is Lucille Ball! That’s when I realized that Walter is played by Gale Gordon who had some guest starring roles on I Love Lucy and then later costarred with her on The Lucy Show AND Here’s Lucy!! So her picture there was just a fun reference placed by the set decorators!!

Oh my GOD this is one of my favourite films! So excited to see you both react to it, my mum introduced it to me when I was a teenager and I've been deeply in love with it ever since.

Joe Dante is a incredible director. Check out Innerspace, The Howling and Small Soldiers for three more great films from him.😂

Most kids watched Goonies, Ninja Turtles, Iron Giant or Home Alone. I did too but I LOVED THIS movie as a child. It just felt more mature to me given the feel of it but the comedy was on point with such relatively dark subject matter. A lot of eerie elements perfect for the spooky season as a wholesome, family type film. If you wanna see a crazy kids movie from the 80's watch the animated film The Secret Of NIMH from 1982. That movie will scare you even as an adult. Rated G for Geesus Christ.

Reading this comment it hit me that The Secret of NIMH has real stakes. That's what's missing in most movies nowadays. Like Marvel movies or John Wick type movies. You know they can undo everything with time travel, bulletproof lapels, etc.

I used to watch this in my teens with all the curtains blacked out in my room, even in the height of summer. It made it feel spooky.

Check out Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party and Splash (1984) and Nothing in Common (1986) with the great comedian/actor Jackie Gleason. Jack Gleason & Art Carney starred in and produced the classic 1950's tv show The Honey Mooners.

"Bout a 9 on the tension scale, Rube" I've never seen any reaction to this! This was my favorite movie growing up. It's so quotable and hilarious. Thanks so much for doing it! Also, queeny the dog is the same dog buffalo bill had in silence of the lambs

30:00, there was an alternative ending that was filmed but not yet released as the Klopeks did kill the original neighbors, Ray ends up getting murdered by the doctor with rat poison, the Klopeks claim their innocence for the crimes, and completely get away with it.

The part where Hanks and his buddy first walk up the the house has the original music from My Name Is Nobody by Ennio Morricone. It was a tribute to Sergio Leone with the close-ups of the neighbors' (and dog's) eyes.
