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. It's a time machine, it's a nostalgia trip, it's a witty and incisive glance at a world of movies and memory: it's Multiplex Overthruster!

  • Octopussy: Summer of '83

    Octopussy: Summer of '83
    Jun 5 2025

    For decades, Javi has maintained that Octopussy is a vastly underrated and quite entertaining entry into the James Bond oeuvre… now listen as this belief crashes in a malestrom of flaming regret as Paul and the ever patient and understanding Producer Brad bear witness to the end of one of Javi’s most cherished delusions! Octopussy may have been billed as “James Bond’s all time action high” but in this clear-eyed rewatch, the Multiplex Overthruster crew finds that surviving the experience of watching Octopussy may be as lethal, if not much more lethal, than James Bond’s travails as he tries to stop some rich bad guy from doing some awful things with a strange macguffin for no discernible reason… also there’s a woman with a really awkward nickname. On the plus column, there is a buzzsaw-yoyo wielding assassin, and a cool mini jet… which we wish we could have used to escape from this film! It’s Multiplex Overthruster’s all-time snark high as they enter the world of high stakes international espionage and emerge changed, but not entertained!

  • WarGames: Summer of '83

    WarGames: Summer of '83
    May 29 2025
    SHALL WE PLAY A GAME? The Multiplex Overthruster crew has faced many dangers - wrathful space dictators, power-hungry fantasy wizards, horny suburban teenagers - but now they face their greatest challenge! Is it the artificial intelligence playing the titular War Games? Is it the military industrial complex that kept them in fear of the mushroom cloud for their entire childhoods… well, yes, it’s those things but it’s also (dun-dun-dun) NOSTALGIA! Marvel as Javi rediscovers his love for a pre-internet world that has long passed us by, thrill as Paul negotiates a much-needed social media detente with Javi, and wince as the long-suffering Producer Brad fights the never-ending battle to keep them on point! Is it Global Thermonuclear War, or is it… WAR GAMES?

  • Return of the Jedi (Part 2): Summer of '83

    Return of the Jedi (Part 2): Summer of '83
    May 23 2025

    The Grand Guignol of Geekery that is Paul, Javi, and - exasperatedly - Producer Brad’s deep dive into the final chapter of the first STAR WARS trilogy reaches its apotheotic conclusion in this, the second part of the first episode of our second season! Thrill as the intrepid Multiplex Overthruster crew braves not just the narrative wilds of one of the most anticipated movies of their childhood, but also the many decades of memories, opinions, and late night discussions of the saga that has defined popular culture for most of their lives! Marvel at Javi’s analysis of his misguided disdain for a movie he now realizes he loved all along! Witness in wild wonder as Paul’s gift for superlatives gets a workout for the ages! It’s a season premiere that will go down in Multiplex Overthruster lore - it’s RETURN OF THE JEDI!
