“Wacky Wednesday” (Being John Malkovich)

Though this was originally intended as a parody of “Being John Malkovich,” it’s actually more of an homage to the body-switching movies of the 80s, such as “Freaky Friday,” “Vice Versa” and “Like Father, Like Son.” When Greg finds an ancient, Azetc dog skull at a Chinatown curio shop, it causes he and Warren the Ape to magically switch bodies. These bitter adversaries must now walk a day in each other’s shoes --- Warren must go to a bunny audition and Greg must stand trial for Warren’s manslaughter charge. Pal Friendlies, an expert at Aztec magic, eventually returns each of them back to their original bodies. Will our heroes learn a little something about one another and find common ground? Don’t bet on it. Features a cameo by Gilbert Gottfried, as a man trying to return a Dead Mogwaii to the curio shop.
