You may remember Vanya from our Crocodile Dundee episode and she is back for another foray into the oddball 80s, as we head back to New York City and eventually, the Hamptons to take a look back at one of the best pound-for-pound physical comedies, Weekend at Bernie’s, and collectively lament the absence of crazy corpse humor like this in modern cinema.
Weekend and Bernie’s (1989)
Director: Ted Kotcheff
Writer: Robert Klane
Stars: Andrew McCarthy, Jonathan Silverman, Terry Kiser
