Episode 37: Fort Apache, The Bronx - The Devil and Max Devlin: February 6, 1981

It’s February 6th, 1981, and both the Bronx AND Bill Cosby are burning. The Bronx will eventually be saved. Cosby? Well...This week the boys hit the streets and descend into the depths of hell to revisit FORT APACHE, THE BRONX and THE DEVIL AND MAX DEVLIN on Episode 37 of Opening Weekend!“RUDY! THEO! ELLIOT GOULD!” Ah, remember the good old days when we just thought Bill Cosby was PLAYING the Devil? In 1981, someone at Disney must’ve read the script to “Fort Apache, The Bronx” and thought, “You know what the kids need? Something grittier…something scarier… something more sinister. GET ME THE COS!” Yes, our collective trust with America’s Dad has since been broken, but that’s nothing compared to the trust that was broken between Fred and his 3rd grade teacher when she caught him cheating in math. Oh, the 8 year old shame. But at least she didn’t start singing, “What’s A Mattah You?” at him like a 7 year old Dan would have. While Jason is studying the classics and learning Greek in his 4th grade Gifted & Talented class, Dan gifts us with his favorite K-Tel novelty hits of the 70s/80s and Fred shows off his talent for writing songs about smelling butts. And, finally, the battle for the soul of Sheila comes to a head this week on a very special phone call you DON’T want to miss.  Shaddup You Face, it’s an Etsy Ketsy episode of Opening Weekend!
