About this episode
On our first episode of 2024 we finally tackle a movie we have been wanting to do since launching this show - Wild Wild West! It's a movie that both of us grew up with yet hadn't seen in 20 years so come join us as we discuss whether the movie has been unfairly maligned or if it's as bad as everyone says it is. We also use this as an opportunity to discuss the ecelctic film career of director Barry Sonnenfeld. The mics kept rolling after this episode as we talked about Sonnenfeld's next movie: Big Trouble (2002).
