What is the Deep Cuts Podcast episode about Buckaroo Banzai, with a script by Earl Mac Rauch and read by Pepe Serna (Reno) and Billy Vera (Pinky Carruthers)?
"DEEP CUTS (https://www.deepcutspod.com) is the podcast where your intrepid hosts, Andrew and Dave, delve into the seedy underbelly of pop culture and uncover fascinating and obscure true stories that will make you say 'I can't believe I didn't know about this!' This is a show about the murder, fraud, trickery, triumph, theft, and lies that go on behind the scenes in La La Land and beyond."
Dan Berger, the editor of World
Watch One, was interviewed on the Deep Cuts podcast and
talks about Buckaroo Banzai with podcast hosts Andrew and Dave.
One of the coolest features of this podcast is at the end where
a special audio drama can be found called "Andrew & Dave
meet Pinky Carruthers & The Reno Kid." Not only was this
written by Buckaroo Banzai author Earl Mac Rauch specially for
the podcast, but it features the original actors Pepe Serna as
The Reno Kid and Billy Vera as Pinky Carruthers!

It's one of the most truly strange films ever made, and we are going to delve into how it came to be. Throughout the late 70s, an idea was cooking in the minds of writer and musician Earl Mac Rauch and writer/director W.D. Richter. It was for an episodic multi-film adventure franchise about a half American/half Japanese scientist/rockstar/race car driver fighting a legion of evil aliens across multiple dimensions. And, while this idea eventually only resulted in one single film in 1984 - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - the story behind its creation as well as the world built by Rauch and Richter is truly something special. On this episode of Deep Cuts we delve into the making and legacy of Buckaroo Banzai!
