Hey Dan. I have seen 9 of his movies….only missing Dirty Work. Seems with the recent passings of Norm McDonald and Bob Saget that I have been hearing about Dirty Work a lot lately. Hard to believe that this year will mark the 25th year since his passing. Thanks for checking out this “almost new” page.
