“We’re the Dream Warriors! Don’t wanna dream no more!”  It’s February 27, 1987, and all your wildest dreams are coming true with SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, HOOSIERS, and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: DREAM WARRIORS. High school, hoops, and hair metal on Episode 40 of Opening Weekend

Late February, 1987: Freddy Krueger may have ruled Jason, Dan, and Fred’s nightmares but it was the dulcet tones of Don Dokken, Phil Collins, and Jack Wagner that were ruling their dreams. While Gene Hackman was screaming court-side, Dan’s dermatologist was screaming neck-side as he drained yet another cyst from The Artist Formerly Known As Slaughter Neck.  And speaking of disturbing images, Hackman’s going in for another kiss! Wake me up, Patricia Arquette, WAKE ME UP!!!  Eric Stoltz may not have made the cut as Marty McFly, but does he make the cut as the Male Molly Ringwald? And what happens when you suddenly realize that you’re no longer a Keith or a Watts or an Amanda Jones, but just an old, curmudgeonly John Ashton questioning everything John Hughes taught you? Find out all this and more on another MINT episode of Opening Weekend!
