60s Best Director Spectacular: The Next Best Thing and What Planet Are You From?
Our exit today has us looking at two immensely accomplished and talented directors producing work that does not live up to their reputations. First we will talk about The Next Best Thing directed by John Schlesinger. Next, we will discuss What Planet Are You From? directed by Mike Nichols. Both are relationship comedies of sorts and both seemed to be misfires from legendary directors who won Best Director Oscars in the 1960s.
Along the way, we discuss how dated these films probably felt in 2000, our love of Garry Shandling and Rupert Everett, a Madonna musical misfire, film critic Lou Leminick, another Michael Vartan questionable character, and Ross discovers a movie that may be "too arty" for Tripp!
