Listen Later

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: March 5th, 1986 —

MacGyver crash lands in Afghanistan and escapes with help from Ahmed Naga… naga… na-gana-live-here-anymore anyway!

MISSION: MacGyver’s hopes to infiltrate the mountains of Afghanistan to retrieve part of a U.S. government satellite, but is quickly pursued by Soviet forces. With help from a local village boy and the boy’s recently-widowed mother, MacGyver will return the government property to America.

This week’s highlights include:

 

The dangerous wildlife that inhabit Ahmed’s village.

Rambo 3 is dedicated (at least in part) to Ahmed’s father and Osama bin Laden.

 


Mankiewicz family (Film History)

The Mankiewicz family is a well-known family of screenwriters and authors. It seems we misdescribed Don’s cousin Tom Mankiewicz as his uncle. Don’s actual uncle Joseph Mankiewicz is also a well-established screenwriter.

As it turns out, Don actually passed away 3 weeks ago and our thoughts are with his family.
