Things get dark and gritty this week as the boys travel back to June 25, 1982 to reappraise a couple of sci-fi classics, and to ruminate on the most dystopian vision of them all: Barry Bostwick in a Lycra jumpsuit… It’s Opening Weekend’s first quadruple bill — BLADE RUNNER, JOHN CARPENTER’S THE THING, MEGAFORCE, and MONTY PYTHON LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL!

LEARN…  all about the new dance craze sweeping the nation (or, at least, the podcast booth): The Persis Khambatta Love Jump! 

DECIDE… if THE THING is an allegory for disease, a meditation on the breakdown of society, or just an excuse to kill a bunch of dogs and make a guy’s head plop off of his body like a doody and then grow spider-legs and stuff!

FEEL… Fred’s horror as Jason and Dan admit that they (shudder) actually dig Harrison Ford’s Naked Gun-style voiceover in BLADE RUNNER!

DISCOVER… Sheila’s true feelings for Dan!

FIND OUT… how many times Jason can work variations on the phrase “Gurrera’s Dry Bed” into a conversation!

And MAKE SURE… to listen allllllll the way to the end of the episode for a call-in from a VERY special guest!

It’s time for something completely different: Episode 6 of OPENING WEEKEND!
