Spike Lee’s third movie and one that has serious lasting impact. We chat through the legacy this movie has on the movie industry and also our thoughts on it and why it took me SO LONG to see this film.

A huge ensemble cast! Steve Martin hijinks and way too much relatability for Kevin to handle. 

Steve Martin and Mary Steenburgen head a cast that includes Diane Wiest (in an academy award nominated performance), Jason Robards, Rick Moranis (the summer of Moranis continues!) a very young Keanu Reeves and an even younger Joaquin (Leaf) Phoenix. 

Probably the film I was most excited to revisit and I'm glad I did.

Directed by Joe Johnston and number #4 for top box office in the summer of 1989, we chat through how this film delivers on what it promises. Hijinks, special effects and some quality 80s / 90s parenting. 

The prototype Rom-Com movie and the mecca of amazing sweaters all in one place. 

Billy Crystal at his charming best and Meg Ryan channeling Nora Ephron with every scene. And let's not sleep on Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby. Just a solid film all around.
