474: Scrooged [1988] Movie Discussion

Merry Merry Merriment Season to one and all from the ‘Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!’ group. We found some more Wrestling Christmas films, but we’re too scared to do them so instead we turn to Charles Dickens’s seminal A Christmas Carol, a story told so many times in so many different ways, and ask the question: what if Scrooge was a ruthless TV exec making a tv show of The Christmas Carol and he himself is then Christmas Carol-ed? Don’t worry, it’s not as confusing as it sounds. We’ve all seen this Christmas staple before here at SFFCH and seek to find whether we actually like this movie or not. Tune in to find out the answer now!

467: Tootsie [1982] Movie Discussion

We all know how terribly ‘men in drag’ comedies usually age these days and we were kind of expecting the same from Tootsie, especially seeing as it was made in 1982, but we are pleasantly surprised to find out its just a solid comedy movie with some great comedy performers and some satirical social commentary. It’s not perfect, though, with a few questionable things slipping through the cracks. This week we: wonder what other legendary actors would be like in drag, speculate on comparisons between Dustin Hoffman and the ‘hard to work with’ actor he plays, appreciate Dabney Coleman’s comedic sleaze and consider if the most dated part of this film is actually the soundtrack.
