This week the ladies review a movie for the older kids in the 1986 worldwide phenomenon Crocodile Dundee.
The movie was based on the real-life adventures of Rod Ansell, who may have had a wilder origin story than Crocodile Dundee. He and his dogs survived for two years on cattle blood and bees that he lassoed and tracked to their hives for honey. True story or tall tale? We’ll never know. Ansell would ultimately be killed in a police shootout. Seriously.
The Good
Croc is kind to animals. There are pretty shots of the outback. There is plenty of uh...chemistry between Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski in this one. Just follow their eyes in this scene for proof. They would later get married and stay married for 24 years, which is solid by Hollywood standards.
Potentially Problematic
Lots: Prostitution. Racism. Cocaine. Drunk Driving. Fighting and eyeballing or “Overly punchy, crazy-fisting and weirdly horny” as the ladies put it. Lots of buttcheeks.
Should They Watch It?
Kara: Bigger no than Ace Ventura.
Laura: No. It didn’t age well
Side Conversation
Kara has a sultry Jessica Rabbit voice, due to a recent cold.
Kids need at least 60-90 minutes of physical activity and a recent study found they aren’t getting it in 74% of childcare programs.
