"I've been kidnapped by... K-Mart!"
Andrew Blakley returns to our limited series, "1986" to discuss the comedic, kidnap gone wrong, gone right film, "Ruthless People." Jeff and Andrew talk '86 fashion trends, Danny DeVito's ability to be slimy on-screen and utterly charming off-screen, Bill Pullman's debut, and Helen Slater's incredible adorability.
Plus, why didn't we get more Gary Riley after the 80's? Is this Bette Midler's best comedic performance? We talk all this, and identify a stellar cast for a potential remake!

Taika Waititi - Eagle vs Shark

2 Recommendations

Taika Waititi seems to be successful no matter what genre he explores. From vampires, and pirates, to superheroes, and droids, Waititi has a gift for evoking emotion when and where you least expect it, even when a young boy's imaginary friend is Hitler, as such is the case in his Oscar and Grammy award-winning film, "Jojo Rabbit".
It is his directorial debut, "Eagle vs Shark", however, that allows Taika Waititi to explore two of his most bizarre characters in what can only be described as the quirkiest love story that can be told about misfits finding common ground, in order to find out about themselves.
