Gung Ho




The Midnight Movie Club show

Summary: Grease up your monkey wrench and slap on your overalls because this week Lee and Dan are donning their blue collars, rolling up their sleeves and trying their very hardest to accept that other cultures have different ways of doing things and that's okay.  Yes Dan and Lee are watching the 1986 Michael Keaton comedy Working Class Man... ummm ahem I mean Gung Ho directed by Richie Cunningham himself Mr. Ron Howard. The reason for the confusion around the name is that in Australia this film is called Working Class Man which makes no sense apart from the singer of the song Working Class Man is an Australian rocker named Jimmy Barnes and the song is featured in the end credits. Apparently the marketing department suspected that Australians will go to films in the vague hope that they'll hear the title track song at some point throughout the film. This week most of the kinks have been worked out of the extraordinarily professional segments and finally the book By the editors of Consumer Guide and Jay A Brown Rating the Movies for home video, tv, and cable New and Revised with over 3500 movies makes an appearance. If that doesn't thrill you into listening to the podcast then... ummm errrrr please listen to the podcast (Dan will be your best friend): There now, see how much better that feels, next time don't make us beg you to listen! Now you've got to make your way down to the comments and leave us some, go on, you can do it!
