This year marks the 30th anniversary of Thelma and Louise, the Ridley Scott directed movie about two women who have HAD ENOUGH! Amen sisters! Fuck that patriarchy! 30 years later, we're still a bit light on the female centric action films for our taste, but let's toast these bad ass bitches for proving that women can lead at the box office! Starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon as besties on the run after they shoot a would be rapist, who lets be honest totally deserved it. Diiiiiick. We'll talk about some alternate casting for this movie, Baby Brat Pitt's tanned naked chest, and why Michael Madsen is scary but also hot? Confusing!
In 1998 The Truman Show was released as perhaps a cautionary tale about the dangers of reality TV! Did we listen? No! As now, nearly half of TV programming these days seems to be reality shows. We are obsessed! Jim Carrey stars as oblivious Truman, born into a reality show and watched 24-7 by the world unbeknownst to him until literally the sky falls one day - or stage lights - and he begins to question what is his reality? We saw this movie in the theaters as we were want to do with anything Jim Carrey and it was fun to revisit it as it's a really clever film and showcases JC's first foray into the more serious roles he'd see in the future. We'll talk about reality shows, how Sweety legit had Truman Syndrome and thought she was on her own reality show in elementary school, and how important it was to find that perfect first day of school outfit - even though looking back gosh what were we thinking with those fashion choices?
Time for another late 80s rom com! Her Alibi stars the man with the best mustache EVER, Tom Selleck and Paulina Poriskova a hot model turned actress with REALLY long hair. We'll blame Carol and our older sister Liz for getting us into this movie - probably forever swayed by Tom Selleck's looks - and we remember loving it as a kid, but man this movie is kind of thin! Selleck is crime writer Phillip Blackwood, whose talents are suspect and when he gets writer's block, he decides to be the alibi for a hot lady maybe killer who he spotted during arraignment court. She has to go live with him at his sick house in Connecticut (okay that's a little creepo) and he thinks she's hot but also thinks she might be trying to kill him. Turns out she's just a clown on the run. So yeah wild movie! We'll talk about whether Tom Selleck with a beard AND mustache is a good idea, how it might be fun to get hit with a cream pie, and some fun 80s things like connected computer paper and our favorite, the car phone!
