Episode 35: Silkwood - Broadway Danny Rose - The Lonely Guy: January 27, 1984

Suicidal lonely guys, washed up talent managers, and factory workers with radiation poisoning; was January 27th, 1984 the funniest week in movies or WHAT?!? This week the boys revisit Steve Martin’s comedy THE LONELY GUY, Woody Allen’s ode to entertainment, BROADWAY DANNY ROSE, and the Meryl Streep/Cher drama, SILKWOOD. Dig if you will the podcast and might as well JUMP into Episode 35 of Opening Weekend!1984 is known as one of the greatest years in movies ever, and with mid-winter films like Broadway Danny Rose, The Lonely Guy, and Silkwood, the boys at Opening Weekend would be hard-pressed to disagree with that assessment, but….WOAH! Watch out, there’s a Grue behind you! And if you got that reference then you MIGHT have been playing Zork with Fred in 1984! Camel Clutch got ya down? Don’t worry, 5th grade “Dan The Man” and the Iselin Wrestling Association will lift your spirits and break your backs with some sweet backyard suplexes. And if you thought Meryl Streep getting scrubbed down with wire brushes after being contaminated by plutonium looks painful, then just be lucky you weren’t there in Jason’s 7th grade English class when he sat down in….a normal, regular chair. OUCH. (It’ll all make sense when you listen to the episode).  Grab your fern, turn off the contamination alarms, and…let me interject one thing, darling….get ready to be the beard on Episode 35 of Opening Weekend!
