Weekend at Bernie's

It\'s certainly not the most noteworthy comedy from this era, but Weekend at Bernie\'s managed to stand strong against some pretty fierce competition in the summer of 1989 and its continued success on home video and cable helped cement its reputation as a cult classic. So while our generation tends to regard this film quite fondly, the HDYR gang wasn\'t super familiar with it. Chris watched it a couple of times as a kid, Carlos had only seen the sequel, and Donna had never seen either of them.

Topics include: Elements introduced in the first ten minutes that the script doesn\'t follow through on, a first act that\'s remarkably similar to Ghost, the director\'s impressive (and diverse) filmography, a lot of love for Terry Kiser\'s performance (both before and after he kicks the bucket), how they manage to keep us laughing throughout the story\'s darkest moments, and much much more!
