Comic and lead singer of Riverboat Gamblers and Drakulas, Mike Wiebe joins us to revisit this surprisingly dark youth-oriented film that puts young Davey Osborne through the ringer in a Hitchcockian wrong man--er, wrong boy tale of international intrigue and kids out on the town. Kindertrauma abounds in this week's delirious ride through central San Antonio via the 1984 children's(?) film Cloak & Dagger, where our young hero played by Henry Thomas watches bodies fall around him, and eventually needs to join in on the action. Of course, one of his two friends is a precocious/grating six-year-old girl while the other is a 30-something nerd who lets these two children hang out in the back of his computer/videogame shop, so this is a totally normal movie. That the true nature of his imaginary friend who may or may not be his dad but who he definitely converses with in such a way as to force one to reckon with the unanswerable question as to whether or not our young hero is schizophrenic is just icing on the cake. Come for the Henry, but stay for the Dabney.

Cloak & Dagger can be rented on most VOD sites for about $4. Or you can google "Cloak and Dagger 1984 full movie archive" to find the version on archive.org.

Mike's primarily on Instagram, but you can find links to all of his projects via his Linktree page: Mike Wiebe's Linktree
