Comics spying! Comics reindeer-flying! Comics getting embroiled in phone-sex scams, smashing windows, buying pudding and crying! November 2nd, 2002’s PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE, I-SPY, and THE SANTA CLAUSE 2 had it all and we’re not lying! It’s all here on Episode 23 of Opening Weekend!

Breakups, credit card debt, and near asphyxiation by gold spray-paint; man, the boys were really LIVIN’ back in November of 2002! 

Is Punch Drunk really an old-school musical? Is Tim Allen’s Santa doppelgänger and allegory for modern-day dictators? Did ANYONE think to hire a boxing coach for Eddie Murphy??? While they reminisce about their favorite toys growing up, the boys also receive an interesting manifesto in the form of a future Oscar-award winning monologue. Hitchcockian, Chekhovian, or ARD-WOLFIAN??? 

From Santa’s sack to the Mail Sack to Sandler’s Sad Sack there’s so much to unpack on Episode 23 of Opening Weekend! (Just please don’t disturb Dan, he’s playing with his farm animals).
