Episode 71: Joe Versus The Volcano - House Party: March 9, 1990

Raise the roof and get ready to dive into the gaping hell-mouth that was March 9, 1990.  This week the boys revisit the Kid ’n Play hip-hop teen-sex  comedy, HOUSE PARTY and the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan deep-flop absurdist comedy, JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO. All this and a soiled overcoat on EPISODE 71 of OPENING WEEKEND!“I believe the children are our future, teach them well, and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.” And who better to teach them and show them that beauty than three middle-aged film-nerds working through their own individual mid-life crises by doing a podcast about wanting to be children again?!That’s right, this week Jason, Dan, and Fred take on the assignment of creating a by-request, Very Special Episode for a Long Island High School teacher and his students: complete with F-bombs in the first 60 seconds, sound clips from a disgraced comedian/sex-offender, and tales of lost virginity and soiled over-coats in the backseat of a station-wagon. (Oh, relax, they’re 2022 High School seniors, they’ve seen/heard/done MUCH worse). Oh, and and they ALSO talk about movies! And podcasts! And how to make podcasts about movies! And there are fart sounds, too, children!Joe jumps into a volcano, Kid raps with Play, Jason goes to college, Fred becomes a man, and Dan writes a review about…the new Rosie O’Donnell movie?It’s a very Zarzicki episode of Opening Weekend!
