Episode 45: Major League - The Dream Team - Dead Calm: April 7, 1989

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

Jobu need a refill of hot, buttery, cinematic nostalgia! It’s April 7, 1989 and Jason, Dan, and Fred are stepping up to the plate, taking sail, and losing their minds (for different reasons) over MAJOR LEAGUE, DEAD CALM, and THE DREAM TEAM. Juuuuust a bit outside; yes, it’s Episode 45 of Opening Weekend!There are myriad reasons a successful podcast can fall apart and great friendships can be pushed to the brink: resentment and jealousies, money issues, public and private scandal, Billy Zane.  Can the boys pull a Nicole Kidman and push through the horror to make it through to the other side? Or will they tear at the seams, and go….wait for it….InZane? Oh, don’t you give me that sardonic look, Sam Neil! But back to April 1989: While Jason was cutting it up in Long Island comedy clubs, Fred was cutting the cheese. And eating the cheese. And cutting the cheese. A lot. Philip Bosco and James Remar were trying to murder Michael Keaton’s psychiatrist in “The Dream Team”, and Commack High School’s “Humor Columnist” (probably named Mort) was trying to murder Jason’s reputation as an esteemed teenage film critic. SCANDAL! Charlie Sheen’s “Wild Thing” was climbing an uphill battle against junk pitches while Dan was climbing an uphill battle against junk food’s Dream Team: Devil Dogs, Kandy Kakes and Yodels. WAIT A MINUTE… *Pffffffffffffftttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* Crap, Fred got to the cheese and Yodels again. Like the bats Jobu cursed, like the lips Keaton pursed, like Zane’s head you’ll burst! About these films we conversed as always unrehearsed, so slide headfirst into Episode 45 of Opening Weekend!
