We finally found a movie that is both a Sara Movie and a Rena Movie, and it’s the damn-near-perfect 1967 film Bonnie & Clyde.

Yes, their names are Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow and they rob banks… but there’s so much more to talk about, including Sara’s Talmudic Loophole of Seeing Inappropriate Stuff as a Kid, whether Faye Dunaway is the most beautiful, most bananas, most brilliant actress to appear on screen, how the hell CW Moss got that box of grenades, Buck Barrow’s refusal to die, and Rena’s fascination with Blanche Barrow’s jodhpurs.

We love this movie, we have a lot to say about it, and we went deep and hard, which, according to this film, was something Clyde Barrow could not do (though opinions vary).

Bonus: We have a challenger for “Lou Gehrig’s Older Than the Dust Itself On-Screen Mother,” and Corpse Capers.
