What kind of a host invites you to his house for the weekend and dies on you?
Oh, to live in Austin when Terry Kiser had his own acting school.
Tonight, we honor the man’s most iconic role — as a dead guy. Weekend at Bernie’s is a deeply dark, preposterous comedy in which a murdered businessman’s friends and lovers are so indifferent to him, his corpse fits right into their social calendar. Bernie still throws great parties.
How this corpse-forward cult classic ever cracked the mainstream is anyone’s guess. Come chill, munch the free popcorn, and soak up the beach vibes.
