“This means something. This is important.” Damn right, Ricky D - It’s Episode 69 of Opening Weekend! This week the boys are going back to February 3, 1978 to make contact with the wide release of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND! Plus their Top 10 Spielberg films.
Ba-ba-bum, ba-bwaaa! (Mothership or Hand-Fart? Only tiiime will tell!)
February 3, 1978: Wunderkind Steven Spielberg is at it again, and audiences are having their minds blown watching Richard Dreyfuss have a Close Encounter of the Third Kind with tiny aliens.
Meanwhile young Jason, Dan, and Fred are having their minds blown watching The Fonz have a Close Encounter of the Nerd Kind with Mork from Ork…and The Hulk…and maybe Scrappy Doo…?
As Richard Dreyfuss stares dreamily at the sky wondering, “What is happening up there?”, 5 year old Fred stares dreamily at Dorothy Hamill wondering, “What is happening down THERE?!?!?”
What’s more fun than a pile of mashed potatoes? How about a stack of Dan’s pre-school’s Deadly Building Blocks Of Death? Or maybe Jason’s “Francois Truffaut” action figure with Curwen Hand Sign Grip!
(too esoteric?)
And for the first time in podcast history:
“Schindler’s List” and “Baby’s Day Out” together at last!
