Science on Screen Presentation with guests David Quammen and Company. In W.D. Richter's wonderfully original 1984 sci-fi cult classic, neurosurgeon, particle physicist, and rock 'n' roller, Buckaroo Banzai is called upon to save the world from a hostile extraterrestrial invasion. Combining humor, imagination, and a brilliant cast, this fiendishly clever adventure parodies both classic and contemporary sci-fi films. Acclaimed science writer and "Buckaroo Banzai" devotee David Quammen, along with his Gen Z nieces, Mae and Lily Madison, joins BFS for an intergenerational post-film discussion titled "Seriosity and Beyond: A Conversation with Quammen and Company."
