405: Little Miss Sunshine

Listener Request Month continues with our number 4 most requested film, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE!

It's the final week of Spooky Scary Movie Month and we're talking about, of all things, HOUSE OF WAX! We discuss how this movie selection came to be, how the stars of this movie are playing "twins who may or may not be attracted to one another", and discuss the gross and misogynistic "See Paris Die" campaign that was used to advertise this film. Ugh! The 00s!    Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

Combine some innovative (for the time) special effects with a plot that makes you go "...why", cause we're talking about FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR!

Stare at a glory hole (please don't) and get blasted across the room by urinal water (no) cause we're talking about THE SWEETEST THING!
