Joe Dante's first collaboration with Tom Hanks started as a send-up of Rear Window, before it morphed into a genre-bending, dark comedy in The 'Burbs. Coming after Joe Dante's Academy Award winning Innerspace, and Tom Hank's first Best Actor nomination for Big, The 'Burbs is something of an '80s curio. Clint, Cal, and Alex dive into the universality of neighborhood paranoia and how it manifests in a dream sequence, textbook blocking for exposition scenes, and visual jokes that work on multiple levels. Who among us hasn't looked at our neighbors and assumed the worst?
