Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid/​Rocky III/​Poltergeist/​E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial

Roger opens the show with a negative review of the Steve Martin comedy “Dead Man Don’t Wear Plaid”, Gene agreed.  Neither liked “Rocky III”, which they both thought lost the colorful writing and intimate details that made the two previous installments.  They review two Steven Spielberg productions, first was “Poltergeist”, which Roger gave a moderate recommendation due to the special effects, and Gene disliked because he thought it failed at being scary or even entertaining.  However both were very enthusiastic about “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial”, which they thought was one of the best films of the year.  Plus, in the “Dogs of the Week” segment, Roger selected the vigilante fantasy called “Fighting Back”, and Gene selects the Sean Connery journalism drama called “Wrong is Right” which he dismisses as a crushing bore.
