Episode11: Weird Science - Fright Night - Follow That Bird: August 2, 1985
The weekend of August 2, 1985 was a great one for moviegoers... provided that those moviegoers were 14 years old! Or 4 years old! Everyone else was pretty much out of luck. Join the boys as they wax nostalgic about WEIRD SCIENCE, FRIGHT NIGHT, and SESAME STREET PRESENTS: FOLLOW THAT BIRD!
What do Chris Sarandon and his vampiric sidekick have in common with Bert and Ernie? Who was the more statuesque beauty - Kelly LeBrock or Big Bird? And which of the weekend’s teenaged actors would Jason prefer to watch die onscreen? The answers are all here!!!
The movies may be fantastical, but the struggles are REAL! Listen as Dan tries in vain to rank Muppets! Witness Jason’s futile call for Anthony Michael-Hall to be “canceled”! And marvel as Fred desperately attempts to defend Fright Night’s Zach Galli...I mean William Ragsdale!
When Oscar The Grouch gives a more grounded performance than Bill Paxton or Roddy McDowall, you know that subtlety isn’t the weekend’s strong suit. In that spirit: HEY. THIS IS THE SUMMARY FOR EPISODE 11 OF OPENING WEEKEND. YOU LISTEN TO IT NOW, OKAY?
