Episode 21: Punchline - Alien Nation - Gorillas in the Mist : October 7, 1988

from Opening Weekend · host Jason O'Connell, Fred Berman, Dan Matisa

Feather back your Heavy Metal mullet, throw on your Cavariccis, and hop into your IROC Z for a trip back to October of 1988 when, according to Alien Nation, the Republican Party LOVED their immigrants! What’s funnier: Fred in a homemade condom costume or Tom Hanks and Sally Field performing stand-up comedy? Trick question! EVERYTHING IS FUNNIER THAN TOM HANKS AND SALLY FIELD PERFORMING STAND UP COMEDY! SIGOURNEY WEAVER TERRORIZING GORILLA-POACHERS IS FUNNIER THAN SALLY FIELDS AND TOM HANKS PERFORMING STAND UP COMEDY!!!!!!!! (Deep breath, Jason, deep breath). And speaking of Sigourney Weaver, what made Dan cry harder: the two hands of Dian Fossey and Digit the Gorilla coming together, or the “Two Hearts” of The Four Tops tearing our eardrums apart? Find out all this and more on Episode 21 of Opening Weekend!
