Our Soju Army is going back twenty years into the Past to track the top box office draws from the summer of 1986. Each new commentary will match the number one film of the week on the exact day of its release. How is this possible? Simple, Mantooth and Orange managed to create a time machine out of a Coleman's Beer Cooler (fueled by tasty hops, no less). So, grab one of the handles and holler as these kids trip back through film history...
The effects of Time Travel have started to rot the stomachs of our two heroes. In an attempt to get the Time Cooler back, Mantooth and Orange have kidnapped a young Paulington, threatening to kill him and make Future Paulington nothing but a memory lost to the paradoxes of Time. While they await their ransom payment, they watch and comment on Danny Devito's Comedy Classic Ruthless People. Too bad traipsing backwards through the Box Office Season has left their brains scrambled. Running time is 96 minutes. Date on the Cooler is set at June 27th, 1986 where newcomer Ruthless People drew in $5,274,306 at the box office to become the number 4 film of the week, coming in behind second week #1 hold over The Karate Kid Part 2 (see last week's Soju show), three week holdover Back To School (see our Soju show from 2 weeks ago), and 2nd week holdover Legal Eagles.
The Screwdriver is traditionally served in a tall highball glass. And only has 1 ½ oz. of Vodka. Not the Devito Screwdriver. It is served in a squat, fat traditional Double Old Fashioned Glass. And has twice the Vodka. Seeing as how Donald and Danny share a few personality traits, we chose the Duck's tasty juice for a mixer. This one will f' you up like a car crash. It screams louder than Louie De Palma!
