Truman and Landen wrap up stray thoughts, production quirks, and leftover laughs from The Dream Team (1989)—a movie that somehow combines gentle heart, New York grime, and Michael Keaton at his most unhinged. And as always, they play The Trailer Game, trying to guess what footage the marketing team thought best represented four escaped psychiatric patients wandering Manhattan before watching the trailer for the first time.

Next week, the Machine sends them to May 28, 1999 with the clue: Question Reality—and it’s already cackling like Christopher Lloyd in a stolen hospital gown.
