Beth and Michelle ride into the Wild Wild West,  a bizarre Western-steampunk mashup starring Will Smith and Kevin Kline that somehow turns buddy-cop charm, Civil War styled gadgetry, and a giant mechanical spider into one of the strangest major box office flops of the late ’90s.

For fans of the classic TV show, it was a disappointment. For fans of Men in Black, it lacked the magic of nostalgia. So what could go wrong?

This movie had all the ingredients for a wild, fun adventure, but instead it steered that giant spider straight over a cliff. Beth and Michelle dig into the missed potential, the chaotic tone, and the moments that almost made this weird western work.

Cozy up with Cozy Quilt Cinema, where Beth and Michelle explore movies through emotion, nostalgia, and the occasional cinematic disaster.
