So steal that sleeping guy&#8217;s coat, roll him off into the ravine, open up that cold can of chili you nicked from the convenience store, and settle in for a life-affirming hour of <strong>What Could Go Wrong?<\/strong>  It&#8217;s what freedom-loving Americans do!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Choo-choo!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last week we had a bad movie from <em>L.A. Law<\/em> alum Corbin Bernsen, so this week Luka follows that with another member of that previously distinguished cast playing a nutter health professional.  Larry Drake is <strong>Dr. Giggles<\/strong> (1992), who&#8217;s not a real doctor, but he plays one in your house.  There&#8217;s nothing like a homicidal freak escaping from the loony bin with a doctor&#8217;s bag and a white coat to spice up an otherwise drab weekend.  The maniacal faux-doc slashes his way through a small town&#8217;s inventory of loose-moral teens with Freddy-esque wise cracks and various medical implements.  But as charming as that all sounds, it only rates a <em>Lousy Unintentionally Bad Movie<\/em> rating from our Luka, who&#8217;s Canadian and has higher expectations for health care professionals.<\/p>\n<p><em>In 1895, a somewhat terrible train crash took place at Gare Montparnasse in Paris, France. Of the 131 passengers, only two were injured. A woman in the street below was struck dead by falling wreckage! The accident took place due to a faulty break and human incompetence. On the plus side, it makes for a rather impressive photo!<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/500px-Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/500px-Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"500px-Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895\" width=\"500\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/500px-Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895.jpg 500w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/500px-Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895-250x300.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you enjoy staring at an easily amused child, an array of toy trains, and a cast of hideous marionettes?
