Description
Get your Cluedo clue sheets ready and play along as we multitask by playing Cluedo while reviewing the 80s classic.
This week on Just That Film Podcast, we're revisiting Clue (1985), the cult comedy mystery based on the classic board game, featuring an all-star cast including Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Madeline Kahn, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Eileen Brennan, and Colleen Camp.
A box office disappointment on its original release, Clue has since become one of the most beloved cult comedies of the 1980s. Packed with razor-sharp dialogue, unforgettable performances, frantic farce, and multiple endings, it's a film that has grown in popularity with every passing year.
In this episode, we discuss Tim Curry's scene-stealing performance, the incredible ensemble cast, the film's unique multiple-ending gimmick, its blend of mystery and comedy, and whether Clue deserves its reputation as one of the greatest cult comedies ever made.
Join us as we revisit this hilarious whodunnit and decide whether Clue still holds up as an endlessly entertaining comedy classic.
