Some Kind of Wonderful

This week, we're digging into the 1953 Marlon Brando cautionary tale action horror romance film, "The Wild One." We wonder whether the movie would've made sense when it was released, find out who was drunk while filming, get shocked by what a 59-year-old man looked like in 1953, and try to understand why such a short movie feels like such a long movie. Then, we look back on our past 200 episodes, talk about the movies we wish we would've done, thank our listeners, and turn off the lights on the podcast. Thanks for listening!

This week, Big Sis makes her triumphant comeback to discuss the 1998 erotic high school thriller heist movie, "Wild Things." We remember where we were the first time we saw The Scene™, talk about a pair of major plot elements that were sloppily edited out, examine how much money Bill Murray's character made from these trials, and question the plausibility of Matt Dillon as an irresistible sexual force.
