Description

Ridley Scott's feminist road movie is 25 years old, but some of the characters' struggles remain awfully current. Sure, this flick is political, but it's also "Butch & Sundance in a car!" How can you not love that? Geena Davis and the immortal Susan Sarandon have rarely been better. Plus....smooth, smooth Brad Pitt. Buy Sparkplug Coffee, then fire up your podcasting T-Bird.

Ryan and Bev Ellis are partners in film nerdery who share their often humorous musings on the AFI's 1998 & 2007 lists of the greatest 100 American films ever made. But we finished with that in December 2015, so now we just review anything we feel like!
