It's in the hole! Bill Murray marathon for Father's Day on AMC
Cancel the barbecue. Return the gifts. Save the greeting card for next year. Cable's AMC channel is giving us all the perfect Father's Day gift: A Bill Murray movie marathon. Let the unnecessarily excessive quoting begin! (Freeze gopher!)
From 8 a.m. Sunday through the wee hours of Monday morning, we'll be treated to Stripes, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II and Caddyshack. (Probably a good idea to leave 1984's The Razor's Edge off the list. Too depressing for us males. Though if you think about it, Murray's on the lam at the end of Caddyshack too.)
Stop overthinking the plot lines and just enjoy. Here's a quickie schedule:
STRIPES:
Sun., Jun. 21 @ 8AM | 7C
GHOSTBUSTERS:
Sun., Jun 21 @ 10:30AM | 9:30C
Sun., Jun 21 @ 8PM | 7C
GHOSTBUSTERS II:
Sun., Jun 21 @ 1PM | 12C
Sun., Jun 21 @ 10:30PM | 9:30C
CADDYSHACK:
Sun., Jun. 21 @ 10:30PM | 9:30C
Mon., Jun. 22 @ 1AM | 12C

Excellent! Even though I have each of those movies on DVD, I will probably still tune in for the marathon.

So we got that going for us.

Groundhog Day is his best work. Ever. Murray shines in every scene.
That's not bad for a quadroped.
