I haven’t done an 80s flashback video in a long while so let’s all take a moment to watch the following gem:
Who’s Johnny by El Debarge
Incidentally, Fisher Stevens, the dude who plays the “Indian” doctor guy who works on Johnny 5 spent a lot of time in St. Louis last year producing the movie Bill, starring Jessica Alba and Aaron Eckhart. And they spent a number of days filming at the St. Louis Galleria where I used to work. And I literally almost walked into him on my lunch break. Which was weird. Because I’m walking the Galleria and then the following interior monologue took place in my head: “Hey jerk, get off the phone and pay attention and wait what the hell? Is that Fisher Stevens I just walked into? What the?”
Anyway, back to the point. I think that Short Circuit was clearly Steve Guttenberg’s best work ever. I friggin loved that film as a kid. And what ever happened to Ally Sheedy?
And that’s enough spacey rambling for one night. Enjoy the flashback!
I have “Who’s Johnny” on many a mixtape from the mid-eighties. I taped it off the radio, I think.
Gosh! I have never heard of it….is that a terrible thing to admit too ?
😐
Short Circuit is one of my favorites. Don’t forget their techy buddy, “Batteries Not Included.” I loved that one, too!
Kathy – I believe I did too.
Pixie – Around my blog, yes! 🙂 It was just an 80s staple of my childhood.
Courtney – That was a really cute film. Actually, Brad Bird, the director or things like “The Incredibles” and “Iron Giant” wrote the screenplay for “Batteries Not Included,” a fact that I learned recently.
