Flopcast 680: The 1980 Movie Recasting Movie Character Movie Game

As we kick off ten weeks of 80s-themed episodes, we're returning to a goofy little game we invented a couple of years ago. The idea is to pluck characters from randomly selected movies from the year 1980, insert them into other movies, and discuss the ramifications. Potential movies include Flash Gordon, Caddyshack, Popeye, Xanadu, The Empire Strikes Back, and many more. So grab a hideously overpriced tub of popcorn and get comfortable. In all likelihood, this is gonna get weird.

"Get me out of this movie," begs Gene Kelly!

If only the random draw had let us replace a puppet Jedi Master with a puppet gopher...
