Ever wondered how there are so many Alpha's in Beta... Epsilon? Why the aliens had little butts? And if you can still watch the original ending? Join us as we ponder this and other intriguing aspects of the film, such as its peculiar one-liner delivery and the controversial sexual politics of the 80s. We'll also discuss the film’s unforgettable axe murderer scene, the surprising presence of brands like Miller Lite and Pepsi, and how characters from the 50s seemed more sympathetic than their 80s counterparts. Bow out with us as we round off our conversation with some of the film’s most memorable moments including a flashback vision involving a woman leaving a beach with a coconut and a mysterious house mother staring into a room that leads nowhere. You won't want to miss our thoughts on the iconic flamethrower, the peculiar tidy whities, and an unexpected Academy Award nomination. We assure you, it's a lively journey through the magical mystery tour of this beloved 80s horror film.
