Episode 86 - Three Men and a Baby

Weirdly, Mr. Spock himself Leonard Nimoy (not Dr. Spock) directed
the highest-grossing film of 1987, "Three Men and a Baby." He
might be famous for his ears, but he certainly doesn’t have an
ear for comedy.


On top of being a one-note joke movie where a trio of rapscallion
bachelors don't know how to look after a baby, it also involves a
bizarre subplot about heroin dealers chasing after them.


Tom Selleck (of "Magnum, P.I." fame) and his mustache play
architect Peter Mitchell, a man in a long-term open-relationship
who weirdly lives with his two best buds in a high-rise New York
City penthouse apartment, even though he's in his 40s and seems
like he has $100 million in the bank.


Steve Guttenberg (of "Police Academy" fame) plays one those
roommates, cartoonist Michael Kellam, who pens a famous comic
strip about a racist cheetah with sunglasses named Johnny Cool.


Ted Danson (of "Cheers" fame) plays the other roommate, actor
Jack Holden, who is the father of the baby left on their doorstep
by an awful British woman he used to bang. And it makes sense
that he's the father, considering he pulls in slightly more tail
than his lothario besties.


Join us as we discuss mock Nancy Travis' awful acting, marvel at
how this creepy sex romp and drug caper movie (that happens to
have a baby in it) was somehow made by Disney, and
as Keating scolds Jim for using the word "cute."
