Did John Cleese really write A Fish Called Wanda just to make Michael Palin suffer/stutter? How close did Jamie Lee Curtis and Bruce Willis come to not having jobs that summer? And what does Frank Sinatra have to do with any of it?If you’ve ever wondered where Fred learned to lie (hint: it involved the Village Bath Club), what Jason used to teach (a clue: it involved showing Eddie Murphy’s Delirious to a bunch of 7th graders), and why Dan equates John McClane with Jesus Christ (spoiler alert: it involves holes and/or feet), this is the episode for you! So c-c-c-come out to the c-c-c-coast, we’ll get together, and have a few laughs with Episode 9 of OPENING WEEKEND!
