Description
In this episode, we review Outrageous Fortune (1987), the comedy adventure starring Bette Midler and Shelley Long that has quietly become one of the most underrated films of the 1980s.
When two women discover they’ve been dating the same man, an unlikely partnership leads them into a chaotic mystery filled with comedy, action, and plenty of surprises. Join us as we revisit this forgotten 80s classic and discuss whether it still holds up for modern audiences.
We break down the chemistry between Bette Midler and Shelley Long, the film’s funniest moments, its blend of comedy and adventure, and why Outrageous Fortune deserves more attention than it gets today.
Is this an overlooked gem from the golden age of 80s cinema, or is it a film that’s best left in the past? We share our favourite scenes, discuss what worked, what didn’t, and give our final verdict.
