The Monster Squad is an 80s kids\u2019 classic, but like many things made for kids in the 80s, its script *maybe* doesn\u2019t hold up as well as we might expect or want.\n\nThe Modern Film:\xa0Attack the Block (2011)\n\u201c\u2026[An] unlucky young woman and a gang of tough inner-city kids... make an unlikely alliance to try to defend their turf against an invasion of savage alien creatures, turning a South London apartment complex into an intergalactic war-zone\u201d (IMDb.com). This movie is full of imperfect protagonists that are treated with care and love by the filmmakers. Plus.\xa0It\u2019s pretty badass.\n\nAudio Sources:\n\u201cAttack the Block\u201d produced by\xa0Big Talk Productions, et al.\n"Homer the Great" (The Simpsons S06E12) produced by Gracie Films & 20th Century Fox Television\n\u201cThe Monster Squad\u201d produced by\xa0TAFT Entertainment Pictures, et al.\n"Pet Sematary" written by Dee Dee Ramone & Daniel Rey and performed by The Ramones\n"Science Fiction/Double Feature" written by Richard O'Brien\xa0& Richard Hartley and performed by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts\n"Sound of da Police\u201d written by\xa0Lawrence Parker, et al., and performed by KRS-One
