The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

May 16—May 20, 2026
Directed by W.D. Richter (1984)
With Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd
Buckaroo Banzai (Weller), a cartoonishly over-qualified physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, and rock star, must stop alien invaders in this campy sci-fi cult film. Pynchonesque in its overly wacky plot, Richter's genre pastiche is also a reflection of the novelist’s taste for low-brow, pulp, and the sci-fi that colored his youthful media consumption.
