Episode 23
This week the boys review this adorable story of American entrepreneurship, love, and pelicans. Al Pacino's iconic, if not over-the-top, performance has developed its own archetype of cinema that's often imitated, rarely duplicated. Show favorite, Michelle Pfeiffer owns the screen only with a few eye rolls and the lethal combo of Brian DePalma and Oliver Stone do the rest. Did we mention the chainsaws?
Stick around for the end where the boys discuss other movies and performances that defined the eras they represented.
