“You still wake up sometimes, don't you, Clarice? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs. Or is that just Jason watching ‘Nothing But Trouble’?” This week, the boys travel back to February 15, 1991, and the horrifying (for all sorts of different reasons) triple bill of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, and KING RALPH on Episode 38 of Opening Weekend!
There are certain roles that fit an actor like a nice skin suit made of human flesh: Erudite cannibal, Jewish sailor, scrappy FBI trainee, middle-aged baseball coach, deranged serial killer, drunken ghost... The list goes on and on! But then there are casting announcements like “John Goodman as the King of England” or “Dan Aykroyd as Naked Obese Baby” or “Dan Aykroyd as Penis-Nosed Elderly Man” or “Dan Aykroyd as Film Director” that just... well, they give one pause.
Whether your movie treat of choice is human liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti, a heaping helping of spotted dick, Dan Aykroyd’s gray, wet sausage (don’t ask), or the elusive Mexi Melts of Fred, Dan, and Jason’s Taco Bell-fueled youth (now with 50% less actual man meat!), it’s time to chow down with the least appetizing film trio since two girls met one cup and sink your teeth into Episode 38 of Opening Weekend!
