Guilty pleasure? Not quite, according to Wirth who wonders, \"Why couldn't John Cusack's Hoops McCann have been Hoops Leibowitz?\" In addition to One Crazy Summer, we discuss whammy animations, world-in-world experiences, Better Off Dead, Grosse Pointe Blank, Singles, Chainsaw Date and Hemorrhoids from Hell, Bobcat Goldthwait, comic book icons Archie and Betty and Veronica, and The Goonies, plus silly sequel and prequel ideas for One Crazy Summer. This re-released episode originally appeared on Season 1 of the show. - As an educator and community builder, Wirth's work focuses on social justice and identity, fusing complex and personal issues and influences into his art. He's led projects with Jewish federations across the US, has had How Our Laws are Made featured on The Daily Show blog, is the author of Hiddur Olam, a Torah art book, and is the host of The Jewish futurism Lab podcast where Jewish tradition meets design, technology, and speculative imagination, with each episode blending story, studio practice, and future-thinking. Wirth is artist-in-residence with the Stan Greenspon Center for Holocaust and Social Justice Education, and full Professor of Graphic Design at Queens University of Charlotte. mikewirthart.com/ instagram.com/mikewirth/ mikewirthart.com/podcasts/the-jewish-futurism-lab/ - One Crazy Summer (1986) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091680/ - Other movies and shows discussed: Better Off Dead (1985) The Goonies (1985) Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) Singles (1992) - about the podcast https://www.designersonfilm.com/frequently-asked-questions - LETTERBOXD Season 3 https://boxd.it/UxwBk - LETTERBOXD Season 2 https://boxd.it/Kkuik - LETTERBOXD Sea…","meta_description":"Although our guest Mike Wirth didn't work on 1986's One Crazy Summer, he loves the movie for all the right reasons.
