AMP Episode 13 - Cocoon

Who wants to live forever? Wilford Brimley's mustache, of course. We watched Ron Howard's 1985 swimwear and skin suit opus - Cocoon.

Mentioned in this episode:

Jerry Zwack, 62, created a motorized couch that he now drives around Sun City because his wife jokingly called him a "couch potato" who needed to get out of the house. He said his odometer now reads more than 3,000 miles. He poses with his one-of-a-kind transportation outside of the Sun Bowl Amphitheater in Sun City, Arizona December 1, 2013.
