Episode #243: "It's great to be young and insane" | The Dream Team (1989)

When a doctor hatches a plan to take four psychiatric patients to a Yankees game in the Big Apple, what could possibly go wrong? Billy has a history of compulsive lying and violence, Henry thinks he's a doctor, Jack believes he is Jesus Christ returned, and Albert is a man of very few words. Together they'll have to navigate New York City when their doctor is attacked and left comatose — and they're blamed for it. THE DREAM TEAM starring Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd, Peter Boyle, Stephen Furst, and Lorraine Bracco.
