“I believe in truth, beauty, freedom, and above all things: hand-farts.” This week the boys can-can back to May 18, 2001 and the releases of MOULIN ROUGE, SHREK, and ANGEL EYES. It’s the “Shrektacular, Drecktacular” Episode 75 of Opening Weekend!


Debauchery. Lust. A bacchanalia for the body and the senses. No, you’re not flying with The Green Fairy at The Moulin Rouge of Paris in 1900, you’re just drunk off a bucket of sangria at Dan’s Quattro De Mayo backyard party of Astoria, Queens in 2001!  While Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman were serenading each other with passionate love songs, Fred was serenading tourists in Times Square with rage-filled doo-wop. Shrek may have lived in a swamp, but it was paradise compared to the dump that was Jason’s love life in May 2001.  Man, where are J-Lo and Jim Cavoizel-Glayvin to touch you in places you’ve never been touched when you need them?!? And if a podcaster poops in a forest and no one hears, does “Angel Eyes” start to makes any sense? All this and more on Episode 76 of Opening Weekend!
