Amazon Women on the Moon (1987) And Sunset Limousines (1983) – Cult Comedy Classics with Johnny Spoiler

If you love digging into forgotten ’80s comedies, cult classics, and movie trivia that makes you go “wait, really?”, then this week’s episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast with Johnny Spoiler is your ticket. We’re covering two underappreciated gems: the sketch-parody Amazon Women on the Moon (1987) and the overlooked John Ritter caper Sunset Limousines (1983).

Amazon Women on the Moon (1987): The Cult Comedy Parody

A spiritual sequel to Kentucky Fried Movie, Amazon Women on the Moon spoofs late-night television, fake commercials, and 1950s sci-fi. Directed by John Landis, Joe Dante, and others, the film is packed with recognizable faces like Michelle Pfeiffer, Steve Guttenberg, Rosanna Arquette, Arsenio Hall, and even a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Bryan Cranston cameo.

Highlights from the episode:

  • The “Hospital” sketch with Michelle Pfeiffer is both hilarious and disturbing.

  • Deleted sketches restored on TV include Peter Pan Theater and The French Ventriloquist’s Dummy.

  • Costumes in the parody segments were reused from Forbidden Planet and Queen of Outer Space.

  • BB King’s “Brothers Without Soul” PSA is equal parts funny and political.

  • Andrew Dice Clay makes a surprise appearance, and Joey Pants pops up in the “Hair Looming” commercial.

Johnny Spoiler’s verdict: The pacing of Amazon Women on the Moon feels different from today’s TikTok-style editing — it actually demands attention. Some sketches hit hard, others flop, but it’s worth checking out if you’re into cult comedy history.

Sunset Limousines (1983): John Ritter’s Hidden Gem

Before Problem Child, John Ritter starred in the TV movie Sunset Limousines, a charming comedy about a struggling comedian turned limo driver who gets caught up in a stamp-smuggling caper.

Why it’s worth watching:

  • Ritter balances slapstick with his wholesome charm.

  • Susan Dey (from L.A. Law) plays his love interest.

  • Martin Short shows up in a shady deal subplot.

  • The primal therapy-in-the-limo scene is pure ’80s weirdness.

If you’re a John Ritter fan, Sunset Limousines is a hidden treasure that deserves more attention.
