Five Minutes of Banzai image

The Five Minutes of Banzai (http://5minutesofbanzai.com) is a podcast by Josh Horowitz and Brett Stillo that discusses the “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” 5 minutes at a time! This means that they talk about a five minute section of the film for up to 60 minutes until they've worked their way through the whole movie. They also created the http://5minutesoftrouble.com podcast that discusses Big Trouble in Little China.

They have released a preview episode that discusses the Buckaroo Banzai Trailer and started releasing new episodes on a weekly basis in December, 2017.
