From the Zucker Brothers, the brilliant brains behind the Airplane! and Naked Gun films, comes an outrageous laughfest featuring the zaniest screen screwballs since the Brothers Marx—the Brain Donors! High society meets high hilarity when rich widow Lillian Oglethorpe (Nancy Marchand, TV’s The Sopranos) hires fast-talking, ambulance-chasing lawyer Roland T. Flakfizer (John Turturro, Barton Fink) as her legal advisor. His first assignment: to fulfill Mr. Oglethorpe’s dream of founding a ballet company. Flakfizer recruits two unable assistants: Jacques (Bob Nelson, Kindergarten Cop), a Harpo-like jack-of-all-trades and master of none; and Rocco Melonchek (Mel Smith, The Princess Bride), a cab driver moonlighting as a pool cleaner, liposuctioner and toupee salesman. What ensues is an off-the-wall, fall-down-funny assault on culture and good taste, as the Brain Donors make merry while driving everyone else mental! Deliriously directed by Dennis Dugan (Problem Child, Happy Gilmore). Special Features: • Brand New HD Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative • NEW Audio Commentary by Director Dennis Dugan, Moderated by Film Critic and Author Lee Gambin • NEW Audio Commentary by Film Journalist Staci Layne-Wilson • 5.1 Surround and Lossless 2.0 Audio • Theatrical Trailer • Optional English Subtitles

Description

From the mind of George Lucas, Radioland Murders is a star-studded, madcap murder-mystery that brings back the heyday of live radio! The excitement begins as Chicago radio station WBN celebrates its first night on the air, complete with live dramas, comedy acts and orchestral interludes. The real action, however, is behind the scenes. Someone is murdering the company employees one by one, and station secretary Penny (Mary Stuart Masterson) and her estranged husband Roger (Brian Benben) must join forces to find the killer. The loony suspects - and potential victims - include the eccentric sound effects man (Christopher Lloyd), the military-minded station owner (Ned Beatty), the sultry singer (Anita Morris), the slick announcer (Corbin Bernsen), and the toupee-topped director (Jeffrey Tambor). Before the night is over, there will be romance, thrilling chases, narrow escapes, and a spellbinding action-packed climax!
