Episode 63: The Terminator - Terror In The Aisles: October 26, 1984

This week the boys head back in time to October 26th 1984 to revisit the sci-fi classic THE TERMINATOR and the horror film-clip anthology TERROR IN THE AISLES.  So, listen to Kyle Reese and take heed: “That terminator is out there; it can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop...EVER…until you are listening to Episode 63 of OPENING WEEKEND!” Halloween, 1984: It’s inevitable. He’s coming. He can’t be stopped.  And not even the mighty Sarah Connor or steely eyed Dr. Loomis can protect you from the terror that is…Dan Matisa in a homemade Q-Bert costume!Oh, %@*&#$!!! What was more confusing for young Jason?  The time-travel twists and turns of “The Terminator” or the hormonal twists and turns of “The Sperminator,” aka 8th Grade…? Greatest 80’s action movie catch-phrase: Arnold’s “I’ll be back” or Joe Dolce’s “You Toucha My Car, I Breaka Yo Face?”And between trying to get through watching horror movies without pissing himself in front of his friends, being chased by holographic images of David Byrne while roller skating in a never-ending circle of futility at Laces Roller Rink, and possibly dabbling in cross-dressing and a dose of Marx Brothers fetishism, Fred’s therapist is buying EVERYONE tokens to play “Tron” and “Russian Attack” at the arcade!  In the words of the great Sarah Connor, “Shaddap yo face, ‘cus you’re terminated F*$#er!”
