As a child, I was OK with what happens next in this scene, because I had watched a lot of Monty Python.

Not least the Black Knight scene from Holy Grail.

It cost the GDP of a small nation to render Weird Al in 3D in 1989.

So 'Wheel Of Fish' is probably my favourite bit in this movie.

It's just several levels of absurd.

Anytime someone mentions a mysterious 'box', I think of Phyllis Weaver, and her risking her "red snapper" for "what's in the box".

Perhaps the weirdest thing about this film is when Al himself has to fulfill the straight-man role, especially compared to others like Stanley Spadowski.

(Stanley is played by Michael Richards... pre-Kramer and pre-controversy. He is great in this tho.)

Middle Kid walked in during the showing...

Interesting how this film ends with a "villain monologuing" trope.

It is a good trope tho.
