Have you seen 1987 sci-fi comedy Innerspace, starring Martin Short, Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan?

Watching Martin Short in Only Murders in the Building has reminded me how much I love that movie - it's also aged incredibly well, it's a really fun watchIt was a bit of a flop in 1987, supposedly because they marketed it poorly - the director was Joe Dante, who had previously directed GremlinsThe Doctor from Voyager is in it too!

@simon Joe Dante, also well know known for Piranha (1978) and The Howling (1981). Very prominent in certain circles 😉

@simon I remember enjoying it as a kid but don’t think I’ve watched it since.

@simon @emag Hot take: Innerspace is just The Martian done for an 80’s audience.

@simon thanks for the recommendation! Martin Short in OMitB is fantastic (especially season 3!) and the Doctor is always a joy.

@simon Innerspace is my favorite movie to suggest to friends to watch without any context or spoilers. Zero defects.

Here's a great review that I think does the movie justice https://www.tor.com/2016/08/17/the-fantastic-voyage-of-innerspace/

@simon have you seen Schmigadoon? He's delightful in that as well.

@simon I answered yes, but I've actually only seen the Italian dubbed version. I don't speak much Italian. It was, quite frankly, baffling.

@simon Martin Short is a treasure! And his partnership with Steve Martin always wins.

@simon if you’re going down the Martin Short rabbit hole, there is a ton of Jimminy Glick on YouTube and it is all delightful

@Edent oh wow I didn't know he was in season 2! We enjoyed season 1 (especially Kristin Chenoweth)

@simon I think this was one of the ones we had recorded to vhs from the free HBO trial when I was a kid. Watched it often
