Some movies age like fine wine.
And some age like a humanoid duck with a questionable libido.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Howard the Duck (1986)—a high-budget, high-concept, low-explanation film that somehow features space travel, duck boobs, demon possession, and Lea Thompson in full 80s rockstar mode.

We break down:

  • The truly bizarre plot that nobody signed up for

  • The animatronic phenomenon that was Howard

  • Why Lea Thompson remains an absolute queen despite everything

  • And the parts that made us laugh, cringe, and stare at the screen in open-mouthed confusion

Yes, it’s messy. Yes, we have notes. But we still kinda love it.

Because if we survived this movie as kids… we can survive anything.
