So I was reading Quint interview Jason Schwartzman on AIC and they talk a lot about old 80's movies and then suddenly I run into this:

JS: That’s a great one. You know what movie I really love? It’s an obscure one, that I’ve always wanted to get and find, if you know how to locate it… There was a movie and I don’t know if it was just a made for HBO movie or what it was, but it was called THE PEANUT BUTTER SOLUTION and it’s about this kid… This is probably the craziest ****ing movie you’ve ever heard of, but it’s about a kid who…
Quint: Was it the kid who played the older brother on ET?
JS: Maybe, but I don’t think so, but it’s a film about a kid who’s walking home one night from school and he walks in this abandoned building and he sees something and it scares him so much that he goes bald, so he doesn’t know what to do and he has a wig and everybody makes fun of him and anyway one night he meets these two homeless people who wander into his kitchen or something and they’re eating all of the food and he’s like “Who are you guys? What are you doing? Get out of here” and they go “You’re bald, but I’ve got this thing that will help you…"

Were they talking about this on the show? I just had a conversation about this movie with my friend the other day!

I started talking about the part when the asian friend decides to apply the peanut butter solution on his crotch and he ends up having this gnarly, creeping pubes that are growing down out of his pants legs and wiggling across the floor. My friend refused to believe that this was an actual film.

This movie kind of freaked me out when I was a kid. But in the way that we used to watch it EVERY time it came on. I think it was only on HBO, but looking back on it it has the feel of a very Canadian-made film.

IMDB Summary: Peanut butter is the secret ingredient for magic potions made by two 'friendly' ghosts. Eleven-year-old Michael looses all of his hair when he gets a 'fright' and uses the potion to get his hair back, but too much peanut butter causes things to get a bit 'hairy'.

Yeah, that's right...he doesn't think his hair grows back fast enough so he adds too much peanut butter. What a crazy idea for a movie. wow. I have to find it.

For anyone who didn't notice, that is Michael Hogan (aka Colonel Tigh on BSG) as the kid's father.

Every time I've heard Dan mention this movie, it's only been a familiar memory to me that I couldn't recall having seen. It wasn't until reading this description that I realised that this movie was a book that I read as kid.

Sure looks like English, but I have no idea what that says.

He's insulting us who haven't seen it. I read the book though so I turn my nose up to y'all easily satiated passive film viewers.
