Hot Date

The summer of 1983 was poised to be the season that SNL alum Dan Aykroyd broke out as a movie star with no less than three movies coming out in as many months.  He found success co-starring with Eddie Murphy in the hit Trading Places and made a brief appearance in the tragedy plagued but profitable Twilight Zone: The Movie.  But the third film, released before the other two and positioned as a starring vehicle for Aykroyd, would become one of the Canadian born actor's greatest flops.   Doctor Detroit, released May 6, 1983, is mostly forgotten today but boasts a cast of actors that would go on to greater acclaim -- Howard Hesseman, Fran Drescher, Lynn Whitfield, future Mrs. Aykroyd Donna Dixon, TK Carter and in a blink-and-you'll-miss-her non speaking role, Glenne Headly.   Dan and Vicky diagnose Doctor Detroit for Hot Date Episode 22 and agree that he's anemic and fairly malnourished.  But there's plenty for our hosts to get fired up about as they give their passionate thoughts on Netflix's Making a Murderer
