Anyone can make a popcorn film, but it takes a Real Genius to engineer one of the greatest comedies of the ’80s! Join Arnie this June as he slips on the Deely Bobbers and heads back to his Reagan-era school days for another look at this cherished Cold War spoof from the creators of Valley Girl and Police Academy. Can party animal Val Kilmer teach a 15-year-old nerd how to stop worrying and love the high powered laser they’re developing for satellite warfare? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize you need to become a Now Playing Patron and listen now!
