OPENING WEEKEND returns as Jason, Dan, and Fred power up their proton packs and revisit the three big theatrical releases of June 8, 1984 — GHOSTBUSTERS, GREMLINS, and BEAT STREET!Which of the boys was on a breakdancing crew, and which was scared of the song “White Lines”? Which is more disturbing - Phoebe Cates’s monologue about her dead father, or the idea of Dan performing a strip tease to it? And how many different ways can three grown men mangle Rick Moranis’s speech about Slors? Press ‘play’ and find out! From the subway platforms of the South Bronx to the snowy sidewalks of Kingston Falls and the interdimensional dominion of Gozer the Gozerian, Jason, Fred, and Dan take a nostalgic look back at Ronald Reagan’s “Where’s the beef?” Eighties and some of the biggest megahits of the decade (that’s right, we’re looking at you, BEAT STREET… oh, wait). When there’s something strange in the neighborhood, Episode 3 of OPENING WEEKEND is ready to believe you!
