What's with classic kids movies and the thematic element of gnarly projectile vomiting? Listen as we break down other wild topics from this 80's childhood gem such as: how Dan and Tak agree that Superman was a real person; why Michael would leave you to die on the tracks with a train coming; and how Mikey suggests there's something a bit funny about the very close bond between the two main characters. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message
