- #6 - Wild Wild West
After a temporary hiatus, we're finally back! And we're here to talk about a movie that Jenna's brain inexplicably connected to The Dark Tower - the 1999 buddy comedy/western/mechanical-spider-related sexual fantasy Wild Wild West! (If you haven't seen it yet, it's available to stream on Netflix. Yes, really.)
How was this able to get away with offending basically everyone? Was this film banking more on the original song, or the mechanical spider? And why is Will Smith bathing in a water tower so upsetting? Listen to find out.
