Summary
Your sensitive boys are back! Listen as we pack into a grimy little Beach House and spend 76 sweaty minutes obsessing over one of the most forgotten sex comedies of the early 80s. From Jersey boardwalk hangouts and chaotic house parties to doo‑wop punks, softball grudges, and one especially questionable horndog named Marty, this hangout movie somehow dodges the usual sleaze and lands as a genuinely sweet, punk‑rock time capsule. Along the way, the crew digs into the tangled history behind the film: New Line’s involvement, surreal mob‑adjacent production stories, how Adam Roth’s songs and band end up stealing the movie, and the wild six‑degrees connections from this tiny beach flick to Dennis Leary, Madonna soundtracks, Evil Dead, and beyond. They also talk about why the movie’s been so overlooked, what certain critics miss about it, and why Beach House deserves a spot in the summer‑party‑movie rotation. PLUS: a truly cursed “would you rather” about spider‑rotted pinkies versus flying table‑saw thumbs, and a brand‑new Battle of the Bands segment featuring cult Aussie weirdo‑rapper Siggy Retz, comedy‑rap hurricane Auntie Hammy, and a Plastic Bertrand vs Elton Motello showdown over the greatest stolen backing track in punk history.
