Year of the Weasel, Year Two Episode 10: The Curse of Inferno (1998)
Much like the year 2024 itself, we’re taking the Year of the Weasel into 2025 with the mandate “more of the same, but worse”! So in that spirit, here’s Pauly Shore (https://dystopiandanceparty.com/blog/tag/pauly-shore/) doing some decidedly shaky accent work in a limp Coen Brothers imitation so obscure, we didn’t even know it existed until last November. But wait, don’t leave yet, the score is by legendary session musician Jeff “Skunk” Baxter!
