Some wild swings in content this week, lemme tell ya. And of course, our customary lightning round. Hickory Dickory Dock!

The Riddle
I’m all you could want from a 1990 film. I’ve got that guy from down under, another guy known for biblical roles playing God, Mission: Impossible style masks, even Willie Nelson apparently robbing a bank, and I still flopped at the box office! What am I?
Answer
In the flop Almost An Angel (grossing 6.5M against an estimated 25M budget), Aussie actor Paul (Crocodile Dundee) Hogan plays a bank robber who uses Mission: Impossible-style masks to hide his identity, including making himself look like Willie Nelson in an opening scene. He's apparently killed saving a child, meets God (played by Charlton Heston), and decides that he's now an angel (the movie is coy about whether he really is, or if he's delusional).
