This month as part of Cinemasofest, we're bringing one of the most successful movies of the 1980s from long before Top Gun: Maverick was a gleam in Tom Cruise's definitely-just-shorter-than-Anthony-Edwards' eye... The presentation will be followed by a screening of the film with a comic commentary by Bess Hayles, Dale Maxfield, and Matt McCann with special guest Tim Marks.
