"You're the best time I ever had." Joan Wilder, as played by the incomparable Kathleen Turner, was a romance writer, a single gal, and a very devoted sister. She was also the main character in arguably the biggest rom-com adventure of the 1980s, Romancing the Stone. Directed by young Robert Zemeckis, written by a first-time screenwriter Diane Thomas, and co-starring Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito, the little $10 million 1984 crowd pleaser cashed in its stones to the tune of $115 million. Now decades later, is it as good as we remember? Will we be as romanced by its charms as we were then? And, what scene did Brian rewind three times? The Old Roommates jump on the first bus to Cartagena and give it all a rewatch. Listen to this.Old Roommates can be reached via email at [email protected].
