BUCKAROO BANZAI AGAINST THE WORLD CRIME LEAGUE, ET AL A Compendium of Evils

Peter Noble narrates the return of the cult hero Buckaroo Banzai as he confronts the leader of the World Crime League. Buckaroo has suffered a series of losses, but his greatest nemesis still roams free. Across the galaxy, threats mount, with only Buckaroo Banzai and his allies capable of staring them down. Noble tackles the dense and meandering story with gusto. He captures the sardonic wit and over-the-top dialogue with surprising seriousness while buckling down to perform the exploration of bizarre philosophies. The narration is enjoyable, but the story itself is difficult to follow as it wends back and forth, sometimes losing the listener because of the sheer amount of exposition, slow-moving action, and jokes.
