Multiplex OverthrusterAuthor: Javier Grillo-Marxuach Paul Alvarado-Dykstra Bradley Dumont
Join two-time Emmy Award winner Javier Grillo-Marxuach (writer-producer of Lost, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, The Witcher and creator of The Middleman) and Paul Alvarado-Dykstra (co-founder of Fantastic Fest, the leading genre film festival in the US) as they travel back in time to revisit the summer movies that shaped their generation: movie by movie, weekend by weekend, and year by year. Starting with the legendary summer of 1982, movie experts Javi and Paul - aided and abetted by the long-suffering Producer Brad - take you on an unprecedented audio adventure from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends, spanning iconic blockbusters and obscure curiosities that some may be surprised to learn even exist. Relive the joy of seeing these amazing movies with your pals on opening night as these longtime friends rewatch their childhood favorites and discuss both what it was like to see them in their teenage years, and how their perceptions have changed over the decades.

The Multi Awards: Summer of '83
Episode 18
Friday, 13 February, 2026
The envelope, please! That’s right, it’s time, once again for the MULTI AWARDS. Join Paul, Javi, and the august Producer Brad as they render final judgment on the summer of ‘83! Was “Flashdance” a better film than “Yor: The Hunter from the Future?” Was “Octopussy” the most misogynistic movie title of all time, or just of the James Bond series? Are Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd one actor or two? Is being ground zero for the “Nicolas Cage freakout” enough to enshrine a movie in the hall of classics? Can Paul limit himself to only three adjectives per sentence? Will Javi stop evoking The Frank Factor already? Can Producer Brad keep the running time under five hours? It’s Multiplex Overthruster’s finest hour… well, if you listen to this podcast you know it’s going to be more than an hour, but… uh, metaphorically speaking! Whether you can’t get enough of awards season or are sick of the same old awards shows, this episode is for you - an awards show like none other!Theme music by Mike McGuillAdditional voicework by Russell BentleyFollow us!InstagramBlueskyemail: Multiplexoverthruster@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
