Episode 316: Men Talk About Tears

Buried Cinema

We said we'd be reviewing BRIGHTBURN, but that movie didn't burn bright so much as it did fizzle at the box office, so we're putting that one off till the home media release to try and be more timely. Instead, this week we're talking about Shirley MacLaine, because she's timeless! Tom picks MacLaine's 1966 film GAMBIT, co-starring Michael Caine. Nate, tasked with the theme of "'gambit' but it has to star either Shirley MacLaine or Michael Caine," goes with the broadest possible definition of the theme and picks the 1989 ensemble film STEEL MAGNOLIAS, starring Shirley MacLaine and five other women who aren't Shirley MacLaine. There is some confusion over members of our troupe disappearing and appearing throughout the podcast, and it's totally not because this is edited together from several different recording sessions. Our review of BRIGHTBURN will be out soon, along with our first review of a film submitted to us by an actual film company, HOUSE OF SWEAT AND TEARS.
