Travolting

We've seen movies like Elvis, Judy, Whiplash, Amadeus, and many others that explores an iconic artist who went through troubled times but left a legacy that will stand the test of time. This movie would like to be in that club, however what you will find is an exploration of a deplorable man who thought coercing and marrying his 13-year-old first cousin was a perfectly fine thing to do; but hey he wrote some pretty great songs, am I right!?

This may be our sweatiest christmas episode yet...

They said this movie would kill her career before it ever began. They said this movie was tasteless, controversial and extreme; but as Christian Slater as J.D. says in the 1988 cult classic 'Heathers', "The extreme always seems to make an impression." Join Jeff, Stuart and Rebecca Sweeney as they divulge into the nuanced and intricate take on high school culture and we ask those nay-sayers of the film: "What is your damage, Heather?"

The moon landing, woodstock, vietnam; these are all major events happening in the year 1969, all shown as a backdrop to two college students dodging the draft and contemplating the path of their lives. In this movie we see Winona Ryder, Kiefer Sutherland, and Robert Downey Jr; all develop their own ideas and opinions on the state of the nation fighting in an unjust war.

Don't say it three times! After two small roles and project, Winona takes the world by force as Lydia, the strange and peculiar girl who can see dead people in Tim Burton's 1988 cult classic, Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice not only brought us Winona, but it also paved way for Michael Keaton and many other amazing artists. Join the boys and special guest Scott Hoelzer as they dive deep into the unfathomable mythos of Tim Burton's undead world in the 1988 masterpiece: Beetlejuice.

Wait... oh no...

13-year-old Winona Ryder plays Gemma, an awkward small town religious girl who wants to move away from her small minded community and angry grandfather to go live with her mother in the big city, Fort Worth Texas. Much like Travolta in Urban Cowboy, Winona soon finds that the cultural shift will rock her world.

Winona Wednesdays begins with Ryder's very first role in a motion picture, Lucas; a film starring Carey Haim, Kerri Green and the unproblematic Charlie Sheen. An 80's film that promotes healthy platonic relationships as opposed to forced and uncomfortable romances. Wait a minute...

Two seasons down, only 58 more to go. Jeff and Stuart cap off the seasons end with a final retrospective on Brendan Fraser starting from where he's been, what he's doing, and where we think he'll go (or should go) from here.
