Before the MCU... before Iron Man... there was Howard the Duck.
This week on The VHS Club, Katie and Nat are joined by film critic Chris Bumbray to revisit one of the strangest comic book movies ever made.
Was it really the disaster everyone remembers? Has it secretly become a misunderstood cult classic? Or is George Lucas's oddball talking duck exactly as bizarre in 2026 as it was in 1986?
We'll dive into:
🦆 Why Howard the Duck became one of Hollywood's biggest flops
🎬 George Lucas's involvement after Return of the Jedi
📚 How different the movie is from the Marvel comics
🎸 Lea Thompson, Tim Robbins, and that unforgettable soundtrack
👀 Behind-the-scenes stories, trivia, and Easter eggs
🤔 Does Howard deserve a second chance?
Whether you've loved it for years or have only heard the legends, grab your popcorn and join us for another nostalgic trip through the VHS era.
