BACK 2 THE BALCONY EP#121 - HOWARD THE DUCK!

About this episode

The episode discusses the 80's film HOWARD THE DUCK and its themes.

This week we tackle the 80's bomb - HOWARD THE DUCK! Howard the Duck is suddenly beamed from Duckworld, a planet of intelligent ducks with arms and legs, to Earth, where he lands in Cleveland. There he saves rocker Beverly from thugs and forms a friendship with her. She introduces him to Phil, who works at a lab with scientist Dr. Jenning. When the doctor attempts to return Howard to his world, Jenning instead transfers an evil spirit into his own body. Hear our take on the film and on the critique of SISKEL AND EBERT. SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
