Episode Details

in the 90s you could always count on a dark comedy. It's the best decade for these out of control stories with the most offensive humor. While society has changed light years it seems in about 20 years, there are still these 'time capsule' films that are so wild you can't even believe they were made. I questioned this very point when I watched Drop Dead Gorgeous about the literal explosive dark world of a local beauty pageant in Minnesota.

This was my first time watching and Charles hit this one again right on the head. I loved it. We talked about the stellar stacked cast,  how we love a mockumentary format, and basically worship at the altar of Kirsten Dunst. 

off-topic rants include: Charles' wild boarding school weekends, a wildlife minute, The Simpsons, and Shazam
