Tony Danza and Leonardo di Caprio, together at last

It will be lost on our younger audience, but readers of a certain generation will fondly remember ‘Who’s the Boss?’ a sitcom starring Tony Danza as a retired baseball player who moves in with an ambitious career woman and acts as a housekeeper for her and her son.

Although it won loads of awards and was hugely popular at the time, the subject matter was family-friendly and far from controversial, which can’t really be said for Wolf of Wall Street, the Martin Scorcese blockbuster that went down a storm upon its release in 2013.

Probably the only thing the two have in common is that they are set in the 1980s, which makes a mash-up of the two by Robert Jones all the more enjoyable.

Sure isn’t all this drug-fuelled, hedonistic law-breaking just a bit of harmless fun at the end of the day?

Funny stuff.
