We wrap up '80s month with a housecall from Doctor Detroit (1983), the story of mild-mannered professor, Clifford Skridlow (Dan Aykroyd) and how he transforms into super-pimp Doctor Detroit.
Based on the short story "Detroit Abe" by Bruce Jay Friedman, Mike talks to screenwriters Robert Boris and Carl Gottlieb along with director Michael Pressman. This episode also includes the third and final part of the interview with actress Glenne Headly.
Aaron Peterson and Heather Drain join Mike to discuss this unusual comedy.

ReplyDeleteYou know something occurred to me. At one point Mom says she'll give the Doctor just another 5 minutes. When one of her goons asks then what, she replies, "Uh, I'll wait some more!" That line and delivery sounded exactly like something Belushi would have done on SNL, lol. It would have been interesting to see Aykroyd and Belushi being rivals in this movie! (Though the actress who does play Mom did a great job, she's clearly having a blast).
