19 March 2013, 7:15 pm - EEMEM Episode 1 – Stripes
So, after about twenty thousand different attempts, Episode 1 of EEMEM is UP! Huzzah!
Episode 1 – Stripes, starring Bill Murray and Harold Ramis, directed by Ivan Reitman, released in 1981.
Bonus Content – the original version of ‘In The Army Now’, covered in 1986 by Status Quo but performed in the first instance by Bolland & Bolland in 1981.
