If you needed to explain the United States to a space alien, how would you do it? For the Super Splat Bros, they'd just sit them down with a copy of 1989's The 'Burbs. Joe Dante spent a lot of his career exploring his preoccupation with the American suburbs, and this is the picture where he most gets to dig into the deep-seated dementia festering in the skulls of angry lawnmower dads everywhere.
And as is their custom, they also find the time to ramble about Mortal Kombat, Burger King toy promotions from the 90s, and The Munsters.
