On this episode of Remainders we talk the 1989 skateboard detective movie Gleaming the Cube. Featuring a young Christian Slater, along with Tony Hawk, Gleaming the Cube goes beyond skateboard culture into a shaggy dog detective movie that captures early 90s youth culture with glorious vibes. We see if this is purely nostalgia or if it becomes a timeless piece of extreme sports in the movies.

Other topics include the skating movie genre of the era, adjacent Bond-like movies targeted to youth, the Corey Haim and Corey Feldman era, Stranger Things events, further streaming woes, and physical media featuring the Rambo steel book collection and Student Bodies VHS.
